Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Well it's a start, just need a few more to take a leaf out of their book & we're ready for the off :)

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

2 Year deals are good also!!!!!

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Bav's only got a one year deal tho:confused:

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Has Sean Hessey not signed?

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Good Question TM,thought he was one of the ones who said hes re-signing :confused:

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Yes I know Mab, but Bavs is a little older!!!! ;) :)

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

I am sure he will.... :) :) :)

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

bavs is a quality league 2 keeper

he has come on alot from the first season in the league.

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

bavs is a good shot stopper n thats were it ends.

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

thats a bit unfair.

he is a good keeper at league 2 level, his distribution has improved, he can throw the ball alot more accurate and further. He takes more shots in the air and he has more command of his defence.

I rate him.

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

not unfair its n honest opinion, or should i bullshine?

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

bullshine

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

never have n too frigging old to start now, just say as i see.:D

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

fair do's

call a spade a spade

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Any news on Hessey & Barnett???

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

or razor? has he appeared or what?

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Id love Razor to stay, but aparently he went off in a huff when told he needs to get fit to be offered a new deal.

ill be MASSIVELY disappointed if he goes, he is the 1 man who could replace Ryan in my eyes.

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Agree smudge, has the potential to be well above Div2 in my eyes.

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Folks
In terms of players who were at training in addition to those who signed contracts, it was who you would expect.

The likes of Barnett, Hessey, Lindfield, Murphy etc. were all there. No Raymond. And obviously no Sean McConville...!

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Hi Dan do you know if the above players are re-signing soon?? not in cluding sean of cause:) Annd whats the situation with Ray

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Of course Ray wasn't there - he was off in search of more jaffa cakes :rolleyes:

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

I am sure that Hess, Craig and Murph will sign, would be very surprised if Charlie did not sign!!!! :)

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Hessey in talks with stockport according to league 2 rumours

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

He's signed for us 1 year deal.

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Superb News !!!

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Thats why it was a rumour than, i did read it from the stockport site

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Hopefully Charlie B follows soon, he could be instrumental this season !!!

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Can he not sing then ? :D

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Well Hess has signed!!!!!!!!!!!

Want to borrow this cashy?

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Agreed. He can step into Ryan's shoes pulling the strings in midfield, and has a decent shot on him.:)

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Without doubt he could step into Jimmys role in the team.
Class player,but sometimes with these type of players,they relax and switch off.
Hes so laid back,sometimes you think hes not up for it,but when he is,what a quality player,who has everything.
IMHO thats why he drifted away the second half of the season, as Colemans wont have anything less than 100% desire and commitment,but as i said,if the penny drops with him,he can be as good, if not better, than Ryan

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

i think the biggest reason he dropped off (or out) was that when he got injured and missed a match he was replaced by the enigma that is Luke Joyce - who never gave the place away. In my humble opinion Luke, Luke, Luke Joyce is the most under-rated player we have.

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Macca,Dont think Luke Joyce has ever been under-rated.Good player,nice technique,never goes hiding when things arent goin his way.
Always gives 100%,and never moans when out the team.
Hes got a great engine, may just lack a yard of pace,but under-rated?,certainly not by me!!!,would always be in my first eleven

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

I agree with both you and Macca. I just hope Coley can go with Joyce, Proccy and Charlie in his starting 11.

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Assuming last years system is adopted (4-2-3-1),Proccy and joycy can play the two,charlie and craney in the three,just leaves us with one more and a centre forward.
If no more signings are made ,then push joyce forward and bring in murp(or burton)),with Linfield the loan striker.
That leaves the defence,deano,coid,hessey and a big centre back (hopefully long).Dunbavin in goals and hey presto we have a reasonable team!
Did hear that an experienced centre mid had been lined up,in a similar mold to jimmy:)

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

lindfield another 100% no doubt, not div2 standard fer me, good lad, aint up to it.

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Lindfield and Murphy no where near league 2 standard IMHO at best should be used as subs.

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Coley knows best!!!!

ASFC News Story > 4159

I like the guy, but I feel he is not up to it, as he has not been fit!!!

:) :) :) :) :) :) :)

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Beggars can't be choosers & right now he's the only striker we've got, I'd love to think Craig can step up to the mark this season but like others, have my doubts - wouldn't mind him proving me wrong though, & at least he's willing to stay & give it a go

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Agree with everybody's comments re: craig and peter.

Here's hoping they prove me and everybody else wrong.

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

come on lads,your all being negative again!!,the only difference between Craig and Gornell is about a stone in weight .
Technique,pace,workrate-nothing between them,finishing and heading,again nothing between them,Craig just needs to bulk up and be a bit more aggressive.
He has ability,just needs a good start,bit of confidence,few goals---- like sean mac did last year
ps- i am sure he wont go hiding even if things arent goin his way:)

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

It's getting boring agreeing with all your posts,19, but yet again I do think as you do on this. Give the man a decent chance to show what he can do as a front man and he could come good and grab his opportunity.:)

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Well you must have watched a different game to me last season im afraid.

Every time I saw Craig play, he looked massively slow and off the pace. Boulding looked a far better player. Obviously the knee injury pre-season didnt help his cause, coupled the fact we only played 1 front man in Gornell, he was always going to struggle to get games.

However you dont spend time at Liverpool for nothing, and ill never forget the goal he scored for Notts County at the Crown against us a couple of years back.

Here is hoping for a different Craig this season.

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Redraine,as i have stated before,there are some very knowledgeable football people on this forum (and cashy!!),but sometimes, because of there love for Acci,put there negative heads on,and hammer some players without substantation.
Its alright saying a player is "crap",but crap at what?,shooting,heading,passing?,
The game is split into three areas 1)when you have the ball.2)when the opposition have the ball.3)when your challenging for the ball.
Some players excell in different areas,if you excell in all areas ,you should be playing at an higher level!!.
On average,you will be lucky if any one player has the ball for a minute during the whole game!
Come on lads lets give the players a bit of respect,they are all trying to improve there game season on season----up the Acci!!!!

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

so its negative to give n honest opinion?:confused: if it don't tally wi yours Football19? well i bow to yer superior one.:rolleyes:

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

One thing i cant deny Cashy,is your honesty!,and your opinions are brutal at times,and straight to the point !!! :)

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

His opinions on here are a model of tact and diplomacy, compared to the views he expresses while standing on the Clayton End! :D ;)

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Wyn,it looks like i am staying in the main stand from now on !!!:)

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

He's not that bad. Bit like a Jack Russell, yaps incessantly but only rarely bites your ankles :D

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

nowt wrong with my uncle Jack!

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Another new boy?? Anybody know anything about this chap?? Not our usual youngster....

Heres his wiki :- Kevin McIntyre (footballer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Cheers... :)

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

you're very welcome

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Remember him more from Macc than Shrewsbury but again a versatile player and one that will bring plenty of League experience to the squad.

In a daft sense I am more excited about the shaping of the squad this season than I have been for the past few, I suppose more because it is a bigger rebuilding job but it's a chance to push on once again with I think what will be a good balance of pros and young hungry players pushing through.

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Scouser - what a surprise!:D

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

I am also looking forward more, in the main cos i regard this season coming as a fresh start! hopefully the wider public will think so too.

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

You have summed up exactly the way I feel.

Nearest to this was a couple of years ago. Turned up for the friendly at Halifax not really knowing what to expect or who would make it to get a deal.

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

It was similar last summer.

I recall going 0-3 down to Clitheroe after 45 minutes with a certain Alex Cisak in goal thinking, my god relegation favourites, and look what happened.

I personally cannot wait for Northampton away.

New fanzone next week, "Coleman's Biggest Challenge"

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Behave you!!!!!!!!!! :) Your best mate has gone and you still are not happy :rolleyes: :D Bring on Scunthorpe!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Anything on the grapevine about Charlie Barnet signing again ?

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Yeh Bobby may get a run out as a sub,:D cos as redraines best mate says "The Worlds Yer Oyster":rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38:

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

leave him alone Cashy, he could sign for anyone next season

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

On the contrary, I'm almost deliriously happy. Just sign a big, agile goalie and a big, hustling centre forward and I'll be over the moon.:D

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

I was thinking the same?

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

Don't want much do you??? :D :D

Re: 5 confirmed signed
 

No, I just want guys who give 100% and we got it today!:D
