Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Thought I might as well kick off with something....

I seem to remember a rumour at the end of last season linking us with ex-Woking striker Justin Richards. Richards of course went to Peterborough instead, but has now been told he isn't required for next season.
I know it's unlikely that he'd come this far North for the kind of money we pay, but Coley does have a reputation of never giving up on a transfer target. ;)

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Sean Doherty comes from Basingstoke doesn't he?

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

We might have more luck attracting players now. During the last transfer window a move to Accy looked to be direction conference to glory hungry youngsters with any talent. Now we`ve confirmed our league status for next year I think more players might want to start a new campaign with Stanley.
Hope so anyway.

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Hate to seem so pessimistic but I don't see any established league players wanting to come here unless they're on their way out.
We obviously can't afford to spend anything & we won't get any transfer fees coming in.
Hopefully we can poach a few talented youngsters from the lower leagues.
Who needs a transfer budget when you've got sell-on clauses.

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

:Banane26: :Banane26: oohh dont forget about the rumour about a scottish striker;)

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

We'll possibly never spend the kind of money that the fans want us to spend unless we buy unproven but class players from the lower leagues. We are probably better off spending the money on facilities off the pitch that might entice the better players.

But Eric has said the money is available though we wont pay stupid money. We went for players like McClean who commanded a silly figure and most likely silly wages - hasn't done much at Peterborough though has he? Same again with Justin Richards, one good season for Woking and then Peterborough come in with a bid of around 200k! now they are offloading him. He could maybe be a good acquisition but not for fee's anywahere near that. There would be uproar if we spent 200 grand on aplayer who turned out to be crap. I'm not knocking Sean Doherty per se because he has had problems, but a player of his calibre and reputation could have cost us a lot of money, its just a good job he didn't

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

My understanding is that there would be no fee involved for Richards. Posh are releasing 5 players, 2 of which would command fees. Richards was not one of those players.
I'm not even sure Posh paid money for him in the first place, but I stand to be corrected.

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

There is a general opinion among Burnley fans that Graham Branch may move to Stanley, although Blackpool may also be his destination.

He does qualify for Stanley because his nationality is scouse :)

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Branch wouldnt get in the team. But if he will be a squad player for 50 quid a week get him. He would be nowhere near the blackpool first 11 either.

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

I guess you have seen him play a lot more than me so I guess thats one off the list then.

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Well Branch has been released by Burnley and on Radio Lancashire tonight he said he'd only heard rumours, but no firm offer from anyone. He said he definately wants to carry on playing, so there may be a chance.

He's been a very good player, but didn't play much last season. If we could get the best out of him, I'd definitely have him in our team.

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

I'd prefer Tugay, if he doesn't sign a new contract (wishing);) . He is class! :D

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

I gather Heinze is being shown the door at Old Trafford. There's a defender on the market, we need some defenders, what do you think?

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Yeah.... just to remind recent posters.... this thread is about possible transfer gossip. Talking complete bullocks isn't allowed.

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Ooh, where's the fun in that? :)

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

well David Dunn was at Clitheroe last night and Steven Garrard was at the FES earlier in the season so if we could land those two it would steady the midfield a little for next season :D

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Who said anything about fun? ;)

This thread is now ridiculous. Mods please close it. :D

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

I agree David Dunn is not good enough and I have no idea who Steven Garrard is.;)

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Wasnt Coley interested in getting the services of Branch at the end of last season? Or was it rumours only again??

Jimbo T :horn8:blower

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

I thought they were getting specialist equipment in to level the pitch :rolleyes:

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

striker coming from yorkshire way thats all i can say;)

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Aurthur Scargill ?

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

no he was a flying picket;) :D :D :D

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Actually I have heard a rumour about a forward being released by a Yorkshire club and FES bound. Is he an ex-claret ?

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

now that would be giving the game away heard coley and jimmy bell were in scotland:banane58: :banane58: :banane58: :banane58: :banane58: th;) is week

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Branchy would be great for us!

I am a Burnley and Stanley fan because I was born in Burnley but live in Accy, Branch can still do it and I think he could well get 10/15 goals down at League Two level!

Still has pace, he is an excellent target man and can put the ball in the net. Burnley have tended to play him as Left back or Left Mid so he doesn't get too many goal scoring opportunities.

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

You are AccyKev and I claim my £10!!

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

It'll be Dean Windass. Windass10 has been saying it for months!!! :rofl38:

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Recent gossip in one of the Sunday papers suggest Windass is Preston bound as a replacement for Nugent. Like for Like :D

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

You claimed you were a 'propper' supporter the other day. Is it not confusing when you refer to a team as 'us' ?

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Kev Gray released by Carlisle - he's a quality defender. Would be a great signing.

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

I think you'll find they're in warmer climes - Bulgaria I heard :Banane35:He he - we can all use bananas!!

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

I heard the same thing last night. On a scouting mission apparently. ;)

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

That's what was said about other ex-clarets who were fobbed off on us, Gordon Armstrong, Paul Cook & more recently Tony Grant - I won't hold me breath !

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

I thought Paul Cook was popular at Stanley ?

Bit unfair to judge Grant yet, he's been inuured most of the time hasn't he ?

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

John McGreal has just been released from Turd Moor.. might want too much in wages but would bring in some good experience..

Tractorboy Red

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Might be better if you said he used to play at Poopman Road, I get the impression players moving down the league may be more favourable if they played in blue & white at some point :D

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Cooky was ok as a coach but as a player it just didn't work, I think he was as relieved as anyone when he hung up his boots. And yea, you might be right about Grant _ i'll reserve judgement till next season

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Any news on whether you're lot are taking Sean Doherty Marty? Won't cost you a penny :rolleyes:

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Leave it with me Accymad I'll contact a few people and get back to you in a few days.. Spoke to one of the 1st team when he was on trial and he said he did ok while he was here, but who knows!!

:D :D

Tractorboy Red

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Of course he did...John McGreeeeaaal,....Oooo...John McGreal!!! Seriously, I think he would be good at FES..

:D :D

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

So we want players far bext seaon to go with the nine we already have. Rodney Jack will be leavin Crewe this summer lol

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Rodney Jack? Did we not trial him last season and kyboshed him off to Wrexham?

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

yeh we did. also blieve Ian Moore is not at Leeds anymore, if he could discove the form he had at Burnley he'd be an ok signing, but i think he was one of leeds so called big boys wage wise, and to be quite honest dont think he'd drop to league2, although he was quite dissapointed not to be offerd new terms at Leeds so who knows. We need a young goal scorer with pace and i cant think of any one. (that we had a chance of getting)

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Andy Mangan?

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

I thjought he would've ben the first throught he door to be honest - ah well there's time yet

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

it won't be Ian Moore!

Lancs Telegraph today quotes that he has been released from his £5000 a week contract. Do you reckon he would take a 95% pay cut?

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Would be good for your merchandising. Get a load of t-shirts printed with the slogan ' I saw Ian Moore Score A Goal'. Don't bother with the date, might as well leave it blank :D :D

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Seeing as Coley likes to scour the lower leagues ther's a brilliant young midfiellder at Clitheroe at the moment. Has scored plenty of goals and is being tracked by much bigger clubs. The names Joel Byrom...Oh no hang on...;)

Seriously Branch IMHO is over the hill.

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Did wonder if part of the reason for the friendly last week was to have another look at Joel and see if he's improved, apparently he's banging in goals for fun for them

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

I notice that Notts County have released young Dan Martin (ex Derby).

He had an absolute belter against us at Meadow Lane scoring 2 goals from Midfield and with some involvement in their other if I recollect correctly.

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

he cant hit a barn door

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Another classic example, Joel wasnt given a proper chance as he was injured.

i can see him going on to a higher level just as with doherty

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

What about Andy Todd! he's being released by Rovers, we could then have 2 x Andy Todd's and another nine and Coley would have his perfect team!;)

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Actually I wouldnt mind signing Andy Todd (Blackburn) he's not the best but I feel he would do a good job for us if he came. As long as he curves his temper. What about Micheal Gray? (Blackburn) Personally I have always liked the lad and he said he's more than happy to sign to league1 bound Leeds so one more liitle step down the league ladder and he will arrive at FES. Has to be a better purchase than Alan Rogers- is he still contracted?

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Edit.. re Tin Monkey post "Andy Mangan"

Yeah that's probably a thread killer right enough ......

Edit.. Note to self - read all of thread before posting reply !

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

I can feel an enormous WHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOSH on the way. :D

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

two Andy Todds? two Grants?

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

With all due respect both still too good for League 2 yet, unless somebody pays them daft money. Can't see that happening :)

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

john mcombe:confused:

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Ian Moore would come, lets face it clubs aren't exactly lining up for his signature

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Heard rumours FC are looking at some young Clitheroe player and as we are in the same league as them next season you never know:) He doesn't have to drop any levels of the pyramid.Thats if its him.

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Tony Grant ison his way. Eric has confirmed in the Observer today that they are hoping to come to an agreement to end his contract.

Coley is also hoping to have secured two new signings by next week, one of which is a foreign striker (has he been to Bulgaria this week?)

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

If that is true about Grant, what's the chance of someone like John McGreal or Graham Branch joining in a player-coach capacity!:w00t:

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Robbie Fowler's availiable. :)

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Look at the stats man ! WE have more than enough foulers already . :D

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

:D :D we can always have joey barton on loan:Banane15: :Banane15: :D :p might as well add my daftness:D

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

I'd love Fowler to give a bit of something back to football.

The guy doesn't need any more money he is absolutely minted with his football career and property portfolio. Maybe a club like Stanley would be a good stepping stone to a career in coaching.

Two Gods?

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Still think John Mcgreal is a good call as a player / coach... And he's a Scouser.!!

Tractorboy Red :D

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

And yet another ex-Claret:confused:

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

rumour alert, rumour alert :Banane10: :Banane10: :Banane10: anouncement in the next few weeks ..............:Banane10: :Banane10: :Banane10:

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

I would hope that there would be new players signed over the next few weeks!! Thanks for stating the obvious yet again.

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Theo Streete who did well against us for Doncaster has been released.

http://www.yorkshirepost.co.uk/rothe...icleid=2860393

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

anouncement on wednesday heard it on good accord this source has only been wrong twice:cool:

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

I saw Coley at the club yesterday morning with a couple of likely lads - didn't recognise them, but one looked a bit like Stuart Fleetwood (don't worry it wasn't him). Sorry I can't be any more help.

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Damn, turns out to be Miles & Cardon - Could've had a real scoop if I knew a bit more about footy!

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

is it cos he is black?

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Bit confused. I didn't realise either of them were black. Mind you that's not the sort of thing I notice straight away & definitely not the sort of thing I would comment on.

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

A special political correctness whoooooooooooosh, just for you. :D

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

One I mentioned earlier, but has cropped up again, is ex-Carlisle defender Kevin Gray. I work with a Carlisle fan and apparently we're in the running for him. Hope it works out, as he'd be a cracking signing.

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

and john mcombe

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Do we sign defenders? ;)

Also, not a scouser, but has captained Tranmere, tricky, eh :)

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

I noticed mention of Ventre and Mangan in the Accy Observer, but it seems to have gone very quiet about Browny - anybody any news/rumours about him yet?

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

sounds like the rest of his time with us........a non event

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Looks like we've a new keeper lined up. Wonder who?

Keeper On Way To Reds (from Lancashire Telegraph)

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

All i've heard so far is .................... that we have grass on the pitch - no sand in sight:rolleyes: :D

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Carl Muggleton?

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

That's a bit harsh Mr T - hope he doesn't read this forum or he might not want to stay:rolleyes:

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Its Kenny Arthur you guys are interested in
Arithmetic Keeping Ian Busy At Jags (from Evening Times)

Thistle keeper for the past 10 years and still only 28, would be an absaloutly fantastic signing, fans who travelled upto glasgow last year may remember his double save at the near post.
On the bench for Scotland a few times while we were in the SPL and its just coming into his prime in goalkeeping terms.
Also has an astonishing record at saving penalties, best save ratio in britain for a few seasons, saved 4 in a penalty shoot-out 2 seasons back!

Anyway best of luck to the big man, cant help but think that league 2 is a bit below his station though, no offence intended

will be sorely missed

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

nice one, sounds quite good.

But I was under the impression we were signing somebody to work with Fearon and Dunbavin (ie an older guy who would be doubling up as coach) rather than somebody to keep em both out! Never mind, a quality addition is more than welcome.

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

i personally would like to see a premiership vetern in the squad

teddy sheringham, lines..

also someone told me a player in either league one or two is coming to stanley. he scored lots of goals last season but he is also a burnley target .

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Realisitically I can't see both clubs chasing the same player. :)

Re: Any transfer gossip yet?
 

Hate to say i told you so on the kenny arthur singing:rolleyes::Banane09:
