Tom Aldred
 

Returned from holiday last night . The first thing we get told is that Tom Aldred has left Accrington Stanley . Does anyone know if this is correct ?. I truly hope it is wrong , he was Player of the season last year , would be a shame if he has gone.

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Dunno greeny, was told last night he'd gone to Oldham? but had no confirmation, so who knows?:confused: If hes gone then understandable so i wish him all the best.:)

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Somebody would have to be really desperate to take him now when they could sign him on a precontract and get him for free in the summer. Why spend money that you don't need to because he is good but not exceptionally good.

It doesn't make sense but that's nothing new where we are concerned.

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Maybe he has been offered more than 1 precontract,so perhaps if a club really wanted him they have had to jump in,just a thought.

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Could well be the case. It's what we need if we want money or they could just offer him it as a higher signing on fee.

The way things play out at the "safestorage stadium" who knows? I bet the sponsors were pleased with that announcement :D

Re: Tom Aldred
 

On the live text last night Sam was informed that Tom had picked up a knock in training.

And if you believe that you have less sense than DAV!!:D

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Not like you to talk silly sparkie.:D

Re: Tom Aldred
 

You can't help talking silly when you include DAV in your post!!

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Off to Blackpool according to twitter this morning :(

Re: Tom Aldred
 

If that's true about Blackpool - & it would make sense with Stevo being there - I really hope it works out for Tom, he deserves to play at a higher level but would worry about him going to a club in such turmoil

Re: Tom Aldred
 

If he has gone to Blackpool I wish him well, However I can't see what would attract him to a club in such a mess. He needs to go to a better club.

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Or is that according to some twit on Twitter?

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Its from a creditable source.........

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Well if thats it, they will probably tell us next week.:D Good Luck Tom.:)

Re: Tom Aldred
 

I would have thought turmoil was a good description of Stanley !!!

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Come on lads,its Hartlepool in turmoil not us ----- yet :)

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Maybe, but since when did going from the frying pan to the fire do anybody any good? :rolleyes:

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Oh dear, It sounds like Tom has probably left the club, which is a great shame for Accrington Stanley.:confused:
It's the same old story, that 'Little' clubs like ours have to endure.....A player improves and becomes one of our best players and then gets ideas of grandeur and the possible temptation of a bigger salary. We cannot blame any player, in the same position as Tom is in now, for submitting to the temptaion of playing with a bigger/better club and on a higher salary.:gooddog:
I would like to thank Tom for his service to the club. Since coming into our squad and cementing a permanent place on the team list Tom has been a great favourite with the supporters. If every player on our books always played with the energy and passion that Tom has shown then we would probably be higher up the division and players might be less likely to leave us!:mosher:
Good luck and thanks Tom.:wub:

Re: Tom Aldred
 

(((Has he gone)))
this passage taken from the lancs telegraph seems to suggest otherwise
((Coleman will run fitness checks on Tom Aldred, who missed his first game in 93 on Tuesday with a knee injury, and forward Kal Naismith.))
John Coleman wants to crank up volume as Accrington Stanley bid to arrest run of defeats (From Lancashire Telegraph)

Re: Tom Aldred
 

I think the official news that he has gone to Blackpool probably overides that story

Re: Tom Aldred
 

If yeh believe the press, yeh will believe owt.http://accringtonstanley.co.uk/2015/...ins-blackpool/

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Player moves from small club to bigger club up the leagues... All deserved on merit....

Somehow its Colemans fault...


Coleman out????? really!!!!!

thanks for that gents. I had not seen any official news when I posted

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Are yeh losing the plot ash?:confused: Highlight please where thats been said. I certainly aint seen it.:confused:

Re: Tom Aldred
 

From our Fishy site;
Tom has joined the Seasiders on an initial month’s loan to allow him to feature in today’s game with Brighton & Hove Albion, with a view to a permanent transfer.

Re: Tom Aldred
 

echo!!! cashman

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Good luck Tom Aldred.

Sad fact of football but it's better to get something than nothing in Summer. My only suprise is that he started the season at Stanley, thought somebody would have snapped him up last summer.

Re: Tom Aldred
 

You were too quick off the mark for them Cashy. Just tried your link
and that page 'cannot be found!'

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Good luck to Aldred, he has been fantastic for us. He had a period last season when he was by far the best defender in HHS league.

Opportunity for someone to become the main man.

C'mon, 3 points today!!!

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Well i just clicked it after reading yer post n its worked fer me sherry,;)

Re: Tom Aldred
 

But the news can be found on the Twitter link - crazy!

Re: Tom Aldred
 

didn't Bourmouth make an approach for him last summer

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Working fine for me but the official site was down earlier for me when it was first announced. And I don't blame Coley for that either :D

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Tom has been superb in his time here, hope he succeeds at Blackpool, that way the club must surely get some decent poke, thats needed? Coneelly looks like he can do the job to me.

Re: Tom Aldred
 

No idea if anybody made an approach for him last summer.

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Same time as an approach from bury came in for Naismith from a un named club....... So hows do stanley get any money out of this move if Tom is out of contract at the end of the season, and blackpool have him for a month on loan unless they sign him and we have him till the end of the season is that how it works :o

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Let's hope that Tom plays for Blackpool today and that he is their "Man of the Match" and that he repeats that for the rest of the month!:theband:
That way we can demand the highest transfer fee possible for him when he signs for them permanently £££££:D

UP THE POOL AND TOM
and ON STANLEY ON:mosher:

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Would imagine it's a case of Blackpool paying a small loan fee and us getting his wages off the bill. We haven't got much leverage to command a decent transfer fee. Just hope there's an Eric Whalley style sell-on clause in there.

Good luck Tom. Good servant for the club and played a massive part in keeping us in the league last season. Will always have memories (albeit hazey) of the night after the Bristol game. Hope he does well.

Re: Tom Aldred
 

By the looks of it, he's only signed on loan to register in time to play today, presumably the registration for a loan player is later than a permanent deal. I'm guessing you can sign a plyer on outside the window if he's on loan. It will all come out in the wash.

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Good luck Tom, I hope it works out for you at Blackpool. I don't know what is going on behind the scenes but it does not seem a happy camp. some of the team selections are questionable. I can't see James Gray or Marcus Carver sticking around if they are not getting a place in the team. James didn't even make the squad last week against Bury, Why???? Nicky Hunt on the bench, Why???? some seriously bad decisions being made.

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Because winnard is a better right back

Re: Tom Aldred
 

I like Nicky Hunt and would play him if he had good protection in front of him but against a winger with any mention of pace he's left for dead. Plus as Dave says Dean is a better player.

As for the rest - Carver is starting today and Gray on the bench, Chrisr must be happy as Larry :D

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Aldred on the bench for the tangerines

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Did he come on macca?


A rare Blackpool win as well.

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Seems Not.

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Signs a permanent deal on monday for an undisclosed fee meaning not alot:(

Re: Tom Aldred
 

The thing is, conneely look great on Tuesday as a replacement and we wouldn't have got anything for tom in the summer so some cash now may make up the shortfall from the cancelled fixtures.

If someone wants to PM the exact details of the deal, I would be grateful.

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Dav. Why should someone need to PM the exact details of the deal? :dummy2:
Can't they just publish the details publicly for all to see....????:egged:
ie 'Transparency'.:gooddog:

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Was flicking through a paper in the opticians waiting room on Friday. Found an article complaining that of all the transfers completed during the current window nearly all were undisclosed so nobody's being transparent about what's going on in the transfer market.

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Not on here cashy - Not losing plot this was a conversation I had with someone about the Aldred Departure and then heard someone saying exact same in the crown before game

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Should be a small fee up front and a few clauses with other small potential add-on fees based on appearances and the success of the club i.e staying up this season, promotion next season.

Better than a kick in the knackers and losing him for nothing in the summer, I suppose.

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Only good business if we stay up? or stay in business....?

Who knows why these decisions are made ......we never know the full picture......

Good luck Tom, thank you for your time at Stanley. I hope you get games at Blackpool...................

Re: Tom Aldred
 

get bobby grant back, as part of the deal

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Made his debut for Blackpool today... conceded a penalty and got sent off!

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Luke a few others I was chatting to on Tuesday, we where all suprised he made the step up to championship level but hoped he would prove himself.

Can't help think Lee Clark has an eye on next season and life in league 1 with most of his January signings.

Re: Tom Aldred
 

Surely everything would become so much more "Transparent" while you were in the Opticians?!!!!:tongueout
ps Tom has signed for a club on the way down when he could have stayed with a club "on the Way up!"......ACCRINGTON STANLEY
