Jeffers deal close
 

This morning news from the lancs telegraph say’s Stanley are close to a deal with Blackburn to sign Francis Jeffers



Stanley close in on Jeffers deal (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Didn't know he was still at Rovers:eek:

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

It does say "former" in the report.

Should put a few on the gate for the next few home games - 2 ex-England Strikers upfront for little old Stanley.

Just get Robbie Fowler now and we could have our own "holy trinity"

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Wouldn't put too much store on that, after he left Everton his career went down hill, hardly got a kick at Rovers

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

correct Jay last info on wiki 2012 moved to Floriana a Maltese club but no info on who if any club he is attached to now ?

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Well that should help if it comes off.

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Well in fairness those that played fer Rovers regular hardly had a kick.:eek:

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

He very rarely played:tongueout

Smudgie posted this SEVEN years ago !!....and there have been other in-depth analyses of Franny Jeffers' footballing qualities ( or no !) in the intervening period....however it does pose a couple of questions for now !..
1. Does the current speculation mean that it has taken the Club this length of time to decide whether this lad who has had more clubs than Colin Montgomery is the player to knock in the goals which will be needed to ensure that Stanley's relegation 'Dog-fight' ends with a positive result ??...and more importantly..

2. Why have Smudgie's posts never improved in quality given the vast amount of practice he has had over the years ??.

If I remember rightly a consensus of opinion on our Forum over the years has usually concluded that Frannie Jeffers no longer has the status of a productive and feared striker and would therefore be of little use to any club at any level !..
Of course he could have sharpened up a little due to his persistent perambulations around the Soccer world, and just might derive some benefit from the guidance and advice available from our other International player..... I refer to the magnificent Romuald Boco of course !!.

p.s. Alfred,E. doesn't rate Mr Jeffers much either !

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

You think you can do better???

Then you contact Sky & 4-4-2 and you write a column, Idiot.

Oh dear someones touched a nerve.:rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rofl38::rof l38:

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

When he contribute's as much to the club as I do, then I will take on board his comment.

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

That has got to be one of the pompous comments i have read on here, Get a life you humourless soul.:rolleyes:

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Obviously, your ego is as large as your sense of humour is small.

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Jeez Smudgie, break out the chill pills fella!! It was a joke. Its not like you to have a sense of humour bypass, you're normally such an upbeat fun loving soul! :D

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Should Jeffers sign I'd be worried about the negative press he'd bring. His actions at Sheff Wednesday were enough to put me off any future image of him in a Stanley shirt, let alone his recent activities with domestic tools: Francis Jeffers appears in court after brandishing a broomstick outside father-in-law's flat | Mail Online

If Jeffers is serious about regaining some credibility through working hard and contributing to our survival effort by scoring goals then I wouldn't begrudge him the chance. My only other concern is that we have young Marcus Carver chomping at the bit to get playing time; would another arrival in the forward ranks benefit or hinder his progress?

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

To be honest shaker i reckon the likes of Jeffers/Beattie, can only benefit Marcus, whilst the lads gives 100% without doubt, in my book he aint quite up to Div2 level yet.

How else did you expect him to travel to see his in-laws?

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

I dont think young Carver, is quite up to it, just yet.

Maybe another loan spell in the BSP to get his confidence back would do him the world of good.

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Jeffers has signed till the end of the season.

Welcome on board lad.

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Not sure if your mate Will is too chuffed, though? We now have 2 versions of the "Fox in the box", the original one and a younger version.

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Have you done his Wiki already?? :)

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

I havent actually..... Someone must be very keen.

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Play in 2 different positions mate.

Shame really but I cant see Will being here next season, a few League 2 clubs are interested. :(

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

I wonder who Smudgie will be predicting to be joining us in 2020 season? Bale, Rooney, Messi, or Walcott???

Great thread Smudgie :)

ASFC News Story > 5283

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Very keen ;) :)

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Welcome Franny J. Lets hope its the shot we need.:)

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Beattie says he has been mega in training :)

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Don't know about that. Will looked a genuine fox in the box when he scored that great goal against Torquay on Saturday.

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

For the 100th time smudgie,Wills not a forward,he's a attacking midfielder !!,couldn't resist that :).
Hope Jeffers temperament has improved,last time I saw him play he was sent off for head butting Shawcross in blackburn v Utd resis game

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Hi everyone NEW member but think its a great signing .. experience and knowhow.. hopefully and WILL keep us in league two ... decided to join as so much negativity in some posts lets all get behind the boys ... and yes iv been going since haggis twinney, paul beck and the infamous grimmy !!! on stanley on

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Perhaps smudgie's a graduate of the Keith Waterhouse school of journalism.:)

He fought long crusades to highlight what he perceived to be a decline in the standards of modern English; for example, he founded the Association for the Abolition of the Aberrant Apostrophe.

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Hope he can recover his form in the lead up to Wednesday putting Stoke to the sword on their last visit to the Britannia Stadium before Franny got tackled by Shawcross.

I'd like to have seen him treated differently after his later sending off at Port Vale.

Nice if he could sign off with a glorious swansong at Stanley getting them into League One and keeping them there.

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

If we can get Brett back and play 4-3-3 we could have a frontline hitting a century of years!

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

excellent news.

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

"An ecstatic Stanley Fan hears the news on Radio Lancashire that Francis Jeffers has just signed to reveal and apply his footballing skills on behalf of his team"...( After William Heath Robinson.).

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Some good positive stuff in the London Evening Standard today:
Former Arsenal striker Francis Jeffers is loving every minute of Accrington's fight for League survival - Interviews - Sport - London Evening Standard

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

thats a good read Mike, he comes across really well to be honest and doesn't sound like the type of person that many assume he is.

Just one point ... "tonight he will definitely start for Accrington" ?

good luck Franny, we all hope you get the goals to restart your career.

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Thats a cracking interview n credit to Mr Jeffers.:)

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Well, he showed his class tonight!

Well done that man!

Two well taken goals, let's hope for many more.

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Best £20 ive spent in a while, took my 3 sons, first football match we have gone to together since they have all grown up

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Please, bring them again!

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

he scored two good goals funnily he liked the second one best, because that's the type of goal he usually scores fox in the box as Wenger once called him:)

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Good video on fishy now, The guys much better n some give him credit,in my view.;) Franny Jeffers will be the catalyst fer our great escape in my view.

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Its always a plus when a player has a point to prove, lets hope he does it in style until the end of the season:mosher:

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Jeffers was on Soccer AM today, showing one of the presenters around the ground and crown pub.

Seems to be loving it here.

Re: Jeffers deal close
 

Only saw the last bit of it but Tubes, Franny and the team were having a ball! Even season ticket sales were filmed!!:)
