New Striker
 

Stanley set for striker debut (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Come on you insiders (or speculators). Who is it?

Re: New Striker
 

Some kid from Stockport County on loan

Re: New Striker
 

Matty McNeil?

I'm still hoping for Lee Hughes!!

and Brett Ormerod!!

Re: New Striker
 

Greedy :D I'd be happy to settle for just Brett.

Re: New Striker
 

Seeing as how everyone's having their two pennerth here.......can we please, please, please have Gornell back! :)

Re: New Striker
 

:)see players sign up thread:)

Re: New Striker
 

This must be a different player to the one from Leicester, as he doesn't join us until the 1st August and this report says he'll be at Halifax tomorrow. It also says a League 1 striker and Leicester are now in the Championship.

Re: New Striker
 

Think that this one is Matty McNeil, as Macca has hinted at....

Re: New Striker
 

I think it is too valairian! i dislike the bloke for his attitude however he could be a very good signing and a good player for the club. We shall see what happens :):)

Re: New Striker
 

Just heard, its Billy Kee on a 6 month loan !! :) I was talking to a foxes fan and they rate him as one of their up and coming youngsters!! Been told hes a stocky lad who likes to get stuck in and wins headers and also can finish very well! Looks a good signing if im being honest!! :)

Found some links about him:

Re: New Striker
 

Kee, who has scored an incredible 44 goals in 42 games for Leicester's successful Academy team over the past two seasons, has rejected the club's offer for professional terms.

Kee, the Northern Ireland under 19 captain, has attracted interest from clubs including Exeter, Wycombe, Bradford, Millwall and Bournemouth after his goalscoring exploits.


Hicks= Kee - they got the names mixed up.

Re: New Striker
 

Looks a great signing. Thanks to Nigel Pearson, Leicester Manager a player I saw many times captaining Sheffield Wednesday.

I was at the game and Chelsea struggled to cope physically. Billy Kee played really well causing the defenders problems and Liam Moore impressed throughout the game. Chelsea included a midfielder that apparently was brought for £1million but he was not that great. The only player that played well for Chelsea was their right midfielder (don't know name ). If Leicester forwards released the ball quicker they would score loads more


Kee seems to have made quite a difference since his return from injury in the second part of the season. It'll be interesting to see how Liam does given that we have an ex-centre-back as manager.

He really is a big, powerful lad and very dominant aerially. We'll just have to see how the rest of his game develops. Who scored for us?
Billy Kee got 2 goals and Elliot Chamberlain scored a screamer. Liam Moore is a centre midfielder so wont play centre back through lack of pace. The new players signed for next year are George Taft (CB) Kevin Knight (LB) Ellis Tebbut (CM) Liam Moore (CM) Shane Bryne (CM) Oliver Norburn (CM) Raj Gill (GK) and Jeffrey Schlupp (CF). They have high hopes for a few but as you can see by positions they will need to be adaptable

A report after Leicester's last Saturday's friendly

An experienced Leicester City side ran out 3-1 winners against local side Loughborough Dynamos.
Young striker Billy Kee stole the show and opened the scoring before winning a penalty that was converted by Paul Dickov.
Loughborough pulled a goal back only for Nicky Adams to complete the win for Nigel Pearson's men.

Comment in Leicester Mercury today:

"He is a quality striker and NP should keep him at the club but I think he will take league two by storm."

Re: New Striker
 

Coley out! Coley out! :p

Re: New Striker
 

Apparently McNeil is about to sign for Chester, so we won't be getting him. Mind you, he's hardly prolific at League level is he?

Matty McNeil - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Re: New Striker
 

Eric using inside knowledge?

Re: New Striker
 

I don't know, but the position of tall centre-forward who always gives 100% but doesn't score very often is already taken. :D

Re: New Striker
 

Gary King-- Could he be the answer! say a 6month contract and if he bangs the goals in and plays well trigger an extension to the end of the season:) what you think

Re: New Striker
 

if he can take his chances then I'd prefer him to Lindfield.

he might work hard and run around a lot but if there is no end product and you are relying muchly on your fron two to score goals ... as TM says the position is filled and we need goalscorers this season.

Re: New Striker
 

King seems to work hard and he took his chance very well on Saturday. He faired less well in the second half, but that was because he didn't get any service once Mullin had gone off.
I'd like to see him be given a chance, as I struggle to see where Symes is going to fit in this coming season.

Re: New Striker
 

In the friendlies at Burscough and Halifax Mullin hardly won a header and when he had the ball at his feet somebody took it off him. Symes, on the other hand, won headers and directed them at Stanley players and held the ball up well and passed it to a Stanley player. I would prefer Symes any day to Mullin.

Re: New Striker
 

We must have been watching different matches Jeff, as Mullin seemed to win virtually every header in the first half at Halifax, whilst Symes hardly seemed to be in attendance.
Symes was better at Burscough and I'd love him to be a success, but he's going to have to work very hard on his overall game.

Re: New Striker
 

OK. We will just have to agree to disagree. Everybody has their own thoughts, but if you go to Radcliffe tonight and Mully plays keep an eye on him and see how many headers (if he wins any) land at a Stanley player and see how many passes he makes to a Stanley player.

Re: New Striker
 

Ouch!

:)

Re: New Striker
 

I'll get my secretary to make notes Jeff. ;)

Careful, or we'll have to do a risk assessment! :D

Re: New Striker
 

I was in the Old Man City stand for the first half against Halifax and I suppose my views lean towards Jeff on this one.

I was impressed by Gary King's movement and thoughtful play. Reminded me of Anthony Elding.

Re: New Striker
 

Yeah, it's his hairstyle.

I thought King did ok and his finish was clinical.

Re: New Striker
 

You'd have to sell the club to pay his unrealistic wage demands, Oldham decided he wasn't worth it and added to this he's an unsettling influence in the dressing room.
Still it made me chuckle that you have such ambition in your present state :D

Re: New Striker
 

:)We'l see whos chuckling when you lot start Ground sharing with Rochdale :D:D

Re: New Striker
 

Morecambe are going to Rochdale?????

Re: New Striker
 

More chance of you lot remaining a league side than that happening ;)

I wonder if the new plans have been passed yet???? Oh YES they have by all accounts :rolleyes:

Re: New Striker
 

I think he's talking about my Home town club and not the adopted one I live 5 miles from :tongueout

Re: New Striker
 

I only support one team, so I can't really understand that.

Re: New Striker
 

Thanks TM I knew there was something about his appearance.:D

Its been mooted on the Sheffield Wednesday forum that Sheffield Wednesday are considering making Hughes an offer.

Re: New Striker
 

Better have another one in mind just incase the 'lights go out' again

Burnley, Rovers??? better still ozzy on sundays :D

Re: New Striker
 

She's not available tonight, I think i've punctured her again?:o

I've had to do the risk assessment and if we all wear Hi-Viz vests and Steel Toe sneakers then we won't get killed.:p

Re: New Striker
 

I meant you!! Better bring your pen and notepad. :D

Re: New Striker
 

And my hat that has a card that says 'press' attached to it.:D

Re: New Striker
 

Here's the plans released at midnight that suggest Rochdale will never play on the same ground as Oldham let alone the same league :rolleyes:

Re: New Striker
 

Are cabbages types of vegetables ?

Re: New Striker

Re: New Striker
 

Your place is far more famous for its dandelion tea with all the plants grown on home soil

Re: New Striker
 

Yes your ground is coming on very nicely. im sure your new neighbour's on the Westgate Estate will love all the new work ( you know what i mean Oldhamade,Westgate Wanderers), plus being closer to the west end will make things very interesting tata

Re: New Striker
