Craney Returns To Swansea
 

Ian Craney has been recalled by Swansea City see Fishy Site!!:mad::eek:

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

That's rather disappointing. Just because he scored against Barnet, doesn't mean he's fully match fit with a confidence boost. Do Swansea know anything about players? he would have needed at least 18 months to get his fitness back to what is needed for league 1.

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

Craney out. Twissy out.

I think that gives you lads the edge.

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

crikey and he played first half of reserve match last night, maybe they phoned at half time!!! :eek:

Really sad he's gone again!!

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

makes a mess of the back page of the Observer this week!

LOOK WHO'S BACK!

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

And it's not even out till tomorrow. :rolleyes:

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

There's nothing obvious about why he's been recalled on Swansea's site and I can't be bothered searching it. So why is there nowt on Stanley's site about the reason for the recall? Rob???

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

Swansea midfileder Bodde has a medium-term hip injury - but they have 3 other midfielders to cover his position excluding Craney.

I presume someone else has come in with an offer for him so he's been recalled in order to send him out on loan to his new suitors before a permanent move in Jan?

strange.

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

This is tragic news, I just hope this is not a pre-cursor to the events last season. I was tempted to change my prediction for tomorrow, but I will stick with it and have faith in the players we already have and just hope we can continue in our unbeaten run.

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

It is indeed very bad news. Craney gave us penetration up front, something we've lacked all season.
We were only talking on Wednesday night at the reserves about our position now, compared to last season. It was about this time last season that we had 17 points from the opening 13 games, but we then lost 9 games in a row. This season we're 2 points better off. Let's hope that history isn't about the repeat itself.

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

I'd echo the sentiments stated in this thread. It's bad news, but surely with Craney going back to Swansea it gives somebody else in the squad the chance to step up to the challenge of filling the void. Incentive enough to earn a regular starting berth.

Depends on the formation Coley uses I suppose,but if you're going to ask someone to provide the penetration and a little bit of cut and thrust that Craney gave us,my money would be with Boco.

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

Not for the next few week it won't
This taken from fishy site

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

I think tragic news is a bit on the strong side - disappointing yes and bloody annoying that there is the instant recall clause in every loan especially when Swansea didn't even see fit to give Ian a squad number & were happy for him to be loaned out.
It's happened at a bad time with Rommy being out at the moment too but lets face it - Ian wasn't back for good, he was always going to go back to Swansea at some point, he said as much when he signed.

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

lets hope he comes back on loan again if thats possible

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

I would like to see Paul Carden given another go in the middle or John Miles playing just in behind the front two, both have points to prove and I would have thought be chomping at the bit!

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

I assume you didn't see them playing for the reserves then? :)

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

oh no he isnt


Here till end of year


Didnt think it was panto season yet tbh :)

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

wahooo we definatly got it now then :)


MFC 4Eva Non-league ;)

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

Think it might be apt if you all take yo-yo's to the game tomorrow with Craney's name on :)

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

Way-hay, that's just made my weekend! :D

Let's hope he scores a cracker at Morecambe Bay!

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

you beat me to the scoring a cracker at morecambe bay wynonie!!!

Great news!!!

Also have been told by Dany from the observer that she has spoke to Rommy and he expects to be back in next couple of weeks. He's gone back to France for some rehab and to rest his back (slight fracture, recurrance of last years injury) but was fortunate that his injury was spotted early with a scan.

He's miffed he will miss the huddersfield match but should be available for rotherham

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

Theres info on the bbc website BBC SPORT | Football | My Club | Swansea City | Craney ends Accrington loan spell

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

Yes but it is now on fishy site after discussions between both chairmen he is staying till end of year!

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

Great news wish i knew before submitting my prediction blimey what a yo-yo:eek::D

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

Wonder what Eric said to make the Swansea chairman change his mind? He must have been very persuasive!

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

Good news indeed. Hopefully Craney will be the catalyst to push us further from the relegation zone.

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

Methinks it involved several bouncers & "an offer he couldn't refuse" :p:D

Great news.

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

So he's back again !! Great news!! And thanks for the gen on Boco !! Wasn't aware he's injured currently!!! I hope that if at all possible the club can tie up a permanent deal for Craney in January. The fee Swansea may ask may beyond the clubs means at the moment, but given a good cup run...:confused:

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

To be honest, I would rather we tied up a few of our players on longer contracts before we signed craney.

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

We've got Miles till May '09. ;)

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

the rumour was (before we re-got Craney) that Peterborough-loads-of-dosh had offered £250k for OUR midfield maestro.

Until I heard that I had wondered whether we may have £100k spare to sign Mr Crnaey but obviously we hadn't when he got recalled yesterday! But if that sort of money was the bid (VERY reliable source) then I am flummoxed as to how we have manage to get huim here until January. £100k signing fee would have divided the fans as to whether it was a good deal or not, and I think it would have been, but IF THE RUMOUR OF £250,000 is true then there is very little argument.

But i think that this is exceptionally good news so welcome back Ian, if you only have one goal in you over the next two games then save the cracker for Morecambe Bay please!!!

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

Yes, well..............

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

Jeez what the **** is going on. Do we have a bungee attached to Ian's back or summat. Glad to hear he is now staying till the end of the year. Thank god somebody has very persuasive powers. Feel more confident about tomorrow again now.

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

Great News!!:)
Nice One Eric!:D
I suppose that is the old saying "you can take the man out of Accrington but you can't take Accrington out of the man!":D

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

I'M CONFUSED ????????? Club site says Craney here until end of season...
WHY ALL THE GLOOM ???:) CHEER UP :) :) :) :) :) :)

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

crazy game football. hope this is the end of the saga and there are no more twists. we are a better team with ian on board. but lets not forget we have lost drew and won the 3 games he has played since he has been back the win he only played 10 mins in. my point being it wont be the end of the world if we lose him again cos as we know this is the best squad we have had for years.

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

End of year, actually.

If we were to able spend money on anybody, then Craney would get my vote.
£75k would be a nice price, maybe Alty would give us half. :)

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

Scroll down the page a bit and you will find the bit were Swansea called him back :D

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

Does anyone on this forum still call Eric? If they do then shame on you!

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

swansea midfielder matty collins has been loaned out to wrexham sounds like a welsh conspiracy to me:confused::confused::Banane25::Banane25:

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

I think you could have something there Macca...

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

According to the Peterborough website they have targeted 3 players.Lincoln midfielder Lee Freckleton, Grimsby full back Tom Newey and some up and coming non-league talent.

Just to add more meat to the bone....

Craney Back At Stanley (from Lancashire Telegraph)

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

i CALL HIM Chairman, Sir or Grandad Legend .....

Is that what you mean?

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

Just to add to our troubles, looks like Craney might be going after all...

Swansea City - Craney To Sign For Peterborough?

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

The story I heard was that Craney had refused to sign for Peterborough and that's why the deal had broken down. That report was from last week, so there may be some truth in the story I heard.

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

That report was from this morning, so it sounds like they're renotiating. :(

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

...or even renegotiating!!

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

I was going off the phrase "Craney has had a successful loan spell at his former Club scoring two goals; his last against Barnet on the weekend", which would make that report a week old.

Who knows? If he goes, he goes.

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

If he goes to Posh, does Stanley get $$$( alright-pounds:D) from a sell=on clause?

Re: Craney Returns To Swansea
 

Yes it was good to see him back at Swansea tonight as he scored a cracker at Morecambe Bay.

He should stay there.
