Coley blames finances.

Cash cost Accrington Stanley in Hughes chase, says boss (From Blackburn Citizen)

In different circumstances he might have been able to use some of the Ilyas money so finances don't interest me.

Crewe fans site corroborate's Coley's belief that Crewe were after Hughes also

Re: Players Sign Up
 

Can someone tell Coley that he is dealing in the real world, cash is nearly always king so look elsewhere there are plenty of players around still looking for clubs. The next few weeks will see desperation set in when they realise that at the lower levels money is tight. The alternative to taking a drop is come and join the rest of us if you can get a job.

Re: Players Sign Up
 

fail to see what coleys doing wrong, he has to try to get the best he thinks is available if the cash on offer aint enough then tough, whats he supposed to do? sign cheap *******? its you that wants to join the real world.:rolleyes:

Re: Players Sign Up
 

Good to see Coley trying to get a bit of quality in. Can't blame the player for choosing better money and higher league but fair play to Coley for trying. Okay, we've missed out this time but if you don't try you don't get. As has been pointed out, there's going to be plenty of players around this summer so there's always next time

Obviously part of the build up to the big Carling game:

Coley took it well - sounded philosophical sporting and not at all sour grapes to me

:)Anyone know whats happend to Craig Lindfield ie is he available or has he gone on loan to another team or could we get him back.

I must admit that I know nothing about him, but looks like another that Coley has pulled out of a hat... :) Lets hope we can get Lindfield back and then we will have 4 strikers....... :eek::eek::)

Re: Players Sign Up
 

Crikey. Looks promising dunnit?
Nice one Coley.

Re: Players Sign Up
 

Having a quick look around on the internet and it seems as though loads of clubs were after him. I hope Sky aren't jumping the gun before the deal's done and we get pipped at the post.

Apparently Kee is a 'stocky' 5' 9" lad, who'd "make it as a brickie if he fails as a footballer" ........lol

sounds promising.:) still need a keeper.

Thanks for the post/links :) From the stuff on your forum - yes I know it is more than likely biased ;) - it does seem that Coley has yet again done the business :):) Lets just hope that all the Foxes fans are right...:) If we can get Lindfield back and sign up Matty McNeil, it will really be "Just like watching BRAZIL" :wave8: :wave8: :wave8:

Re: Players Sign Up
 

Some Blackpool fans posts on proposed Langley trial

"Blackpoolforlife

As IH said "I would not leave a companion of mine who worked so hard for me in the past out on a limb, I'm using my position at Blackpool to help a friend and see if I can get him fit enough for someone to give him a job."

Good on you mate, if he does turn out to be upto scratch, I hope that he shows the bit of loyalty that IH has shown him, and signs for us

I am warming to this guy day by day, he is in charge and I think he is not scared of shaking things up"

"dont forget this is the same langley that absolutely ran the show and destroyed us in the 5 - 0 mauling couple of seasons ago and i think he got a hat trick ... if he can recapture some of that form would be well worth the punt and if not we have got him upto fitness for a lower league club ... no harm done were not paying him to train!"

Re: Players Sign Up
 

sounds promising but Coley will absolutely have to insist on a pay as you play deal considering his injury record. Would Langley accept that?

Re: Players Sign Up
 

I think that would be essential Macca, as we don't want another one that gets paid for sitting on the bench. But do we need another central midfield player? Surely there are other positions that need sorting out first?

Re: Players Sign Up
 

The above 2 posts are spot on, he does look injury prone so we must be careful as to how we pay him and as TM and one or two others have said we have more midfielders than enough. Would defo like to see the keeper/defence sorted out. :)

Re: Players Sign Up
 

Won't be the desired goal keeper any time soon:

LEEDS UNITED: Pull out all the stops now Alan - Yorkshire Evening Post

Re: Players Sign Up
 

still sounds promising though Haggis, as both he and his manager are accepting of a loan deal depending how pre-season works out for him. Our problem is that in doing that he won't be having a pre-season with us and we may have to sign Halliwell whether he is 100% suitable or not.

Re: Players Sign Up
 

I can't really comment on Halliwell, as he had next to nothing to do on Tuesday night. He did have one catch to make, which he dropped, but it was hammering down with rain and the ball was like a bar of soap....lol

I wouldn't be surprised to see Kempson at Halifax today.

Kempson and Kee sign deals
http://www.accringtonstanley.co.uk/g...cs/kempson.jpgJohn Coleman is set to make two new additions to the squad this evening, with defender Darran Kempson and striker Billy Kee both agreeing deals.

Central defender Kempson will be joining us for a third spell, having previously had loan spells here while with Preston North End and Shrewsbury Town in 2004 and 2008 respectively. This time the 24 year old has agreed a permanent one year deal after leaving Wrexham this summer.

Meanwhile 18 year old striker Billy Kee is set to join on loan from Championship side Leicester City, initially until 1st January. The Northern Ireland U19 international has recently signed a one year extension to his contract at the Walkers Stadium after netting almost 50 goals for the youth and reserve team in the last two years.

Both players will be available to play in our pre-season friendly at Radcliffe Borough this evening. Last night a mixed side won 1-0 at Heswall with Sean McConville scoring the only goal of the game

Re: Players Sign Up
 

Liked Kempson when he was with us last and am hopeful that he can do the job that Charnock (Well at least 75%) did for us last season :). Kee seems to be the deal of the season on paper!! So lets hope he is. :):)

Re: Players Sign Up
 

What happened to the goalkeeper we signed on non contract terms last season - take it he has left the club.

Re: Players Sign Up
 

you meen zak hibbert he is now at southport

Re: Players Sign Up
 

I, too, am pleased to see Darren Kempson return . . with, surely, a great deal more experience which will complement his natural ability.

But how about young Billy Kee?

The lad was completely new to me, but having scored a hat-trick within hours of joining the club I think he'll do just fine!

Re: Players Sign Up
 

Yes but this was against a team of Unibond quality, how will he fare against league opposition, I hope like you he is a success

Re: Players Sign Up
 

Read on teletext this morning that the young keeper from Spurs that Coley mentioned he was interested in (Button I think) has signed for Crewe - another one bites the dust.

Re: Players Sign Up
 

Well his first touch alone should give him a good head start in this league. Kee also (unlike most of the young players we bring in on loan) has some weight to him, and for a short fella wins quite a few headers.

Re: Players Sign Up
 

he put a good challenge in on their keeper (14/15 stone?) in the first few minutes. He went up fair and square, kept his arms down and won the header against the keepers outstretched fists. The keeper won the free kick even though it was he who jumped into Kee (and lost).

Like a shorter and fitter version of Evil :evil: but with a bit more talent

Re: Players Sign Up
 

According to Observer, Coley is looking at offering a deal to Gary King and Sam Russell. Even looking to bring in possibly more players! Great if we can both - Goalie problem solved possibly

Re: Players Sign Up
 

whats happened to the greg blundell interest?

Re: Players Sign Up
 

he went to Chester I think

seems a silly move to me unless they are paying him mega bucks to relocate. I'd still like him to come here but do we need four good centre backs?

Re: Players Sign Up
 

Nope.

Re: Players Sign Up
 

Thought the same myself Macca?? Still money talks..........

Re: Players Sign Up
 

things just keep getting better, very unlike cashy to be happy.:D

Re: Players Sign Up
 

If he turns out to be OK I think this could be our best season ever.
(Until 31st December anyway, when Billy Kee and Alan Martin's loan spells end)

Re: Players Sign Up
 

I agree, our squad is certainly looking much stronger than last season. Granted, we haven't got the cushion of three clubs on minus points, but I'm having the most optimistic pre-season for a while.

Re: Players Sign Up
 

Thanks for that post Wynonie :) Great news for the first half of the season, by then we will be OK and maybe with some loan extensions we can do even better....... :):)

Re: Players Sign Up
 

pray that the other two at Leeds don't come a cropper.

The jigsaw has indeed been completed, now to Corals ......

Re: Players Sign Up
 

Let us know what odds ya get rob, may just have a punt meself.;)

Re: Players Sign Up
 

Great news. Fair play to Coley , he's managed to assemble a very balanced squad. Can we hope for an extra strker ?

Re: Players Sign Up
 

I think you'll get Gary King as well. So with Kee, Mullin, Symes, Gary King and possibly McConville, that should be the front line.

Re: Players Sign Up
 

...and he's not ruled out signing another striker, too!

Re: Players Sign Up
 

Lincoln fanzine thinks on balance Gary King will go on to a professional career with Stanley but cautions that he is at his best as a striker apparently Lincoln played him on the wing where he did not thrive.

Re: Players Sign Up
 

Looks like Gary King will not be joining us.... L.E.T.

Coleman is now on the search for ‘one or two new faces’, after revealing Gary King now won’t be joining due to personal reasons.

Re: Players Sign Up
 

On Radio Lancashire last night, Coley said that there would be another signing this week and probably 2 more next week.

Fishy site only mentioned it as possibility.

Hope he does. I have been impressed with what I saw.

To echo Jimmy Bell this is the strongest Stanley Squad I have ever known - I do not quite go back to the Galbraith era.

I would not be surprised if we are trying to hang on to Billy Kee and Alan Martin in the second half of the Season (if that's possible) as it would not surprise me at all if we are in the leading pack at Christmas.

Re: Players Sign Up
 

Martin says if his loan is sucessful til Jan, he would like to remain rest of season,n coley says theres a chance to extend loan if it is, todays observor,:)
