Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

That leaves Francis Jeffers, Lee Molyneux, Rommy Boco & Padraig Amond. I'm assuming that we won't pay a transfer fee to bring Nicky Hunt back.

Sounds like Podge is keen to stay with us and Molyneux is certain to leave. Jeffers and Rommy? I'd be happy if we managed to get even one of those for next season.

With such a small playing budget, these two will need to really want to play for us next season (i.e. not for the money). I'm sure Beatts will want to keep a significant portion of his budget open for some of the long-term loanees that he seems convinced he will be able to attract to Stanley. Let's hope so as it's a very young team at the moment.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Another un signed 2 yrs can only be a good thing in my eyes, anyone improves significantly, Stanley command a fee.:)

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Nicky hunt has been released by Rotherham

Millers agree Hunt release

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Rob Heys has just tweeted that there is "more good news to come before the end of the week".

Hopefully it is Hunt ... he has stated his desire to stay close to his home (he has a young child) and Rotherham clearly couldn't find anyone to pay them a fee for Hunt.

More probably it is Podge who, if so, may as well not bother unpacking as Beattie's taking those players signed-up to Portugal for some warm weather training at the end of this week!

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Would love to see the likes of Hunt, Podge & Boco back..........

Moly is the impossible, surely?!?!

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

So I reckon we need a right-back, a centre midfielder to play with Joycey, an attacking midfielder/winger and two centre forwards.

These could be Hunt, Procter, Boco, Jeffers and Podge.

I actually really hope we get Jeffers. I think if he was to stay fit and injury free then we're going to get goals from him.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Nicky Hunt joins on two-year contract :D

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

who have we got on two year deals now?

Off the top of me head:

Hunt
Joyce
Aldred

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Plus the goalies, Dunbavin & Dawber

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

cracking signing to be fair. I thought he was off elsewhere after his 'I might have to go abroad' press release. I take it Serie A didn't pan out then :rolleyes:

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Anyone else noticed the pictures on the fishy site?

Either James Beattie owns just one t-shirt, or Aldred, Joyce and Hunt all signed up on Tuesday and we have been drip-fed the news ;)

I wonder who will be announced tomorrow lol

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Hunt is a really positive signing in my book, Experienced yet not too old, Should help our young uns in defence no end.:) Perhaps a signing like Hunt may encourage others to re-sign? yeh never know.

Re: When should we know who's staying?

cryptic from our point of view, WAS playing at Accy last season - does that denote past tense wont be there this time? or is that too analytical?
nothing sorted for this season yet? come on Moly get signed up, can still get 20-1 on promotion ....

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Dan & Beatts' tweets this afternoon suggests that there are no more expected signings this week.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

That don't look too promising to me Macca.:( Still looks like Beats has been very busy, so hope springs eternal.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

According to the usually reliable Dan Jewell on Twitter, molyneux is off to Crewe.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

If true wish him well, but very disappointed.:(

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

rumours that Podge is set for Morecambe.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Not worried about that one, but Moly is a sickener, even though expected. Good luck Lee, it was great while it lasted and Crewe are a good footballing side.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

where's that from macca

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Maybe in the wrong thread, but Cameron Belford is rumoured to be off to Tamworth to play for his dad. Quality keeper.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

the Podge rumour is from a poster on The Football Forum. Belford to Tamworth? wow, cracking signing for them to be fair.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Tamworth have made a few surprise signings recently. Dark horses.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Hardly a surprise when his dad is Tamworth's manager !!;):rolleyes:

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

The surprise to me is "NO" League Club has come in fer what i regard as a good League Keeper.:confused: Dad or no dad hes too good fer non league imho.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Sir Alex Ferguson is Darren Ferguson's dad. It would still have been a surprise if Darren had turned out in a Champions League Final. :D

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Agree, IMO he was the best keeper we had last season

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

I would think if Moly joins Crewe (A Big Loss) its essential we manage to retain Franny Jeffers if at all possible, Both players are match winners in there day. Different styles but Matchwinners.:alright:

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Only thing that worries me, is that the longer it goes, the less likely it is.

And he's missed a free holiday to Portugal (I mean training session)

Re: When should we know who's staying?

Perhaps he couldn't afford to go, or his golf was a little rusty.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

He could've flown with the rest of 'em, why drive? :)

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Makings of a good squad... :)

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Apparently we are signing a new player tomorrow. Details are on the back page of the Accy Observer according to one of the reporters: https://twitter.com/BCjourno/status/350228571534532609

Shay McCartan?

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Well seems to me like Podge,Franny, n Romo aint gonna be back.:( so we desperately need new forward players, preferably wi some experience. cos Lee is also History.:eek:

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

I said on the Portugal thread he is worth taking a chance on a 12 month deal, maybe I'm psychic ;)

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Or psychotic?:D

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Still dreadfully lightweight up top and in the centre of the park we need some experienced heads don't score goals don't win matches.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

If BT can add a bit of nouse and guile to the game of the strikers that we have then I think we'll do well. Gray, Carver and McCarten are three young and hungry strikers with dece
nt potential. Bring it on.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Well after previous years squad total I reckon we are well ahead at this stage.

2 x strikers (maybe 1 if we get mccarten) , A keeper and 2 x midfielder's and we arent far off. And that's not including loanees.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

We are ahead on previous years no doubt, Suggest the main reason is who is now running the club n who is actually in charge of playing.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

says on shays twitter that hes going to portugal for 5 day that were on Sunday, maybe he went to meet Beattie. n lads

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

As far as i know he went wi em?

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

The lads who have signed up have the makings of a decent League 2 squad, however they need complimenting with 4 or 5 quality first team starters, as most of our better players from last season have either signed up elsewhere or have other irons in the fire than Stanley. Most lads who have signed up already wouldn't have got too many offers from other league clubs.

We are better off in numbers terms than at this stage in pretty much every other close season, but hope club are working in background on some real quality signings. The Billy Sharp thing has gone quite and I think Beats owes an explanation as to what was behind the photo

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

We don't really know if Beats is aware of that photos use?:confused:

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

I agree the three lads up top have potential but it is quite easy in this League to get out muscled by vastly experienced defenders, what we have lost with those who have not signed or moved on is not just experience but flair as well the final pass, the final shot and the end product.

We do have a backbone to the squad of players who fit in positions and have experience & more importantly know each other and what it takes in the Stanley shirt, I remain hopeful that with James's contacts we can add three or four more faces that will bring more depth and even more experience to bring us up to a squad that won't struggle this season but push on to the next level.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

No trialists went to Portugal ;)

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

I'd start measuring what happens from July 1st. Things don't happen in June for financial reasons :)

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Am I right in thinking that this is currently the Squad latest on players actually signed up now for next season?

Ian Dunbavin
Andrew Dawber

Peter Murphy
Tom Aldred
Dean Winnard
Laurence Wilson
Michael Liddle
Nicky Hunt

Luke Joyce
George Miller
Will Hatfield
Luke Clark

James Beattie - has he signed as a player?
James Gray
Marcus Carver
James? McCarten? not sure of name?

So is it 16 players in total so far?

Not signed yet either for Stanley or any other club;
Romuald Boco - out of contract summer 2013
Francis Jeffers - out of contract summer 2013
Padraig Amond - out of contract summer 2013

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

EDITED;
Just checked the Accy Observer, So has Shay McCarten signed from Hyde?

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

He was only on loan to Hyde. He was a free agent

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

On loan from the Dingles, By all accounts am told hes worth a punt.:);)

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Anyone reckon it could be worth taking a chance with this lad?

From Twitter:

Padraig Amond ‏@padraigamond21 2h

1st of July down to the job centre #Unemployed

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

How do you rate Padraig ?

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

100% trier, but for me useless on the end of long balls and easily shepherded off the ball when in possession. Not a born finisher either. Why do you ask?

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

I like to keep up to speed with all League 2 strikers so as I know what to expect if we come up against them :dancedog:

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

You've nowt to worry about then, mate!

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

One thing for certain is that Morecambe will not be coming up against.....:rolleyes:

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Now you've lost me!

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

take it he's implying Podge will be with Morecambe, not agin 'em

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Podge just tweeted Morecambe was a done deal last week!

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Not too dismayed oer that un,if true? after all must have a low I.Q. tweeting unemployed today.;) After all it displays he cared sod all for the fans that supported him, Nothing against any player leaving fer better deals, But rubbing noses in it, not fer me, good riddance.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Hooray, then Morecambe Red will have something to worry about, then.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

:hidewall::hidewall::hidewall::hidewall::hidewall: :hidewall::hidewall::hidewall::hidewall::hidewall: :hidewall::hidewall:

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Been badgering Franny on Twitter this morning asking him if he's fixed up for next season or if he's coming back.

He said he's got nothing fixed up and he is available but isn't the one who makes the decisions.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

So who made the decision to reject the offer?:confused:

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

That's what's puzzling me Cashy - Club said offers had been made to ALL players except those that had been released.

Can only mean he has rejected the clubs offer.

Would be a shame if he doesn't get sorted, cos Carver and McCarten would learn plenty from him and the gaffer.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Maybe his agent? :rolleyes:

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

"we'll give you £500 per week"
"make it £800 per week Gaffer and I'll sign"

technically a rejection but ball in Stanley's court?

I'm hoping that when the initial budget was decided it would have included reasonable offers to Linganzi and Molyneux, so maybe without those now signing we would be in a position to return to Boco and Jeffers with improved terms? Certainly Boco would have been holding out for an offer from elsewhere but time is ticking on and they obviously haven't been offered what they would like or they would have signed somewhere, so maybe an improved offer would now illicit a better response?

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

I can live wi that Rob, if poss hope the club can.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Or his wife:rolleyes:

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

If the club were to offer Jeffers "better" terms it should include a condition on number of appearances... he's a gamble with injuries and the likelihood of getting himself sent off.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Agree wi appearance money, But sent off only 3 times in his career, last time was 3/4 yrs ago, so don't see how thats justified?:confused:

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Morecambe fans forum treating the Pod move as though it's a state secret. Almost blushing. What's the big deal?

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Possibly embarrassment? seeing how many of their acquisitions turn out to be similar?:D

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Is the Podge move about money, or playing time? Anybody know?

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

I am surprised at that - the few games he's played for us IMO opinion he's got so wound up a few times he looked like he was going to swing for someone.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Well its correct sam, i checked his record out, that just shows how commited the lad was to our survival effort n only doin it fer expenses.;)

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Th'Observer states that Jeffers has now left the club and BT is resigned to losing Rommy. On the plus side we have earmarked a big name signing to play alongside Shay. "he is expected to be a well known Football League striker"

and we have the man himself.

Amond and Redshaw? who are they?

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

I've forgotten who Amond was but 'Blues Beaten' Redshaw is the best thing to come out of Yorkshire since the M62. Check out his one-string, cigar-box guitar.:confused::)

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Great stuff. Reminds me of Ralph's Rhythm and Blues nights at Accy Jazz club behind the main stand at Peel Park in the early 60's. Always limited ourselves to 6 pints before driving home. Happy days. If a cat has 7 lives I reckon I've had about 77 up to now!

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

From Dan Jewell's interview with JB today via Twitter.

James beattie has ruled out returns to the club for members of last seasons squad yet to agree new contracts.

"There was a timeframe put on the offers, the deadline was set and I'm not going to be anybody's second choice"

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Looking to have a squad of around 20 players and is looking at a couple of experienced players and the loan market.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Thats fair enough in my eyes, nice one James.:)

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

bye Boco :bye2:

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Going off what Chesterfields fans reckon, he was not stopping here anyway, Case of thanks now sod off fer me.;)

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Fair enough comments from Beatts, unhappy that Rommy isn't staying & just hope that Chesterfield's fans are wrong & he goes anywhere but there - (could never tell Rommy to 'sod off' Cashy :) )

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Oh they don't seem to think hes going yon, They reckon he was offered 50% rise n turned it down.:eek: if that "IS" the case? then sod off will do fer me.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Tail. Dog. Wag :D

Well done James; if they ain't back, they weren't coming back anyway (unless no-one else wanted them)

Important part of being the boss is being the Boss! :p

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Well said mate, too many forget that fact n are blinded by bull.:rolleyes:

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Paddy playing for the Shrimps against Burnley tonight doesn't bother me but I am a bit jealous of them signing Mark Hughes today !

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

I'm not, we got Tom Aldred instead, we got the best end of the deal ;) :) :)

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

He'll be up against Kevin Long. Are they still flatmates ? :)

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Rob Atkinson on trial with our reptilian friend. Playing tonight

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Padraig made a good start to his Morecambe career in our 1 - 0 win over the Clarets.

He came on in the 2nd half and made a great run and cross from which Kevin Ellison scored the winner.

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

I'm very pleased for you. So he has actually signed then has he? Or is it still too sensitive to be discussed on your forum?

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Padraig WHOOO?:D

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Not signed yet! Morecambe hoping to complete deal for Padraig Amond

Re: When should we know who's staying?
 

Looks a really good addition to our squad on last nights showing.

Welcome to Morecambe , Podge.
