Re: Signings
 

Stanley also have interest from elsewhere in a couple of their players. Turned down a couple of approaches & keen to keep squad together

Re: Signings
 

Barnsley will want a fee for Kayden no doubt but the deal will happen.

Re: Signings
 

agree with paying a fee for a striker but can,t see the club paying for a goalkeeper. we,ve had some decent ones at the club over the years without forking money out. a season long loan for rodak would be the ideal move for us.

Re: Signings
 

A keeper like Rodak would be worth it, a stable squad instead of loans

Re: Signings
 

Money would be well spent on Rodak.

Can't afford to keep giving teams soft goals.

At the minute we've a gaff prone keeper and no-one to help shoulder the burden upfront. Last seasons problems not sorted (yet).

Re: Signings
 

Boco joins Orient in 2 year deal

Re: Signings
 

Was he under contract and if so have we got a fee for him not that Orient would pay it!

Re: Signings
 

No mention of a fee, new Orient owner is splashing the cash lately this is thier 11tb signing

Re: Signings
 

Dan mentions un names trailist who's under contract from another club will be named later, also had clubs contacting coley on wanting players but coley wants to keep squad together

Knew I'd seen him somewhere

Re: Signings
 

Been impressed with this guys pace during the friendlies.
He's a real livewire & I'm sure will prove effective at League 2 level.
A definite asset to our attack.

Re: Signings
 

Deal done with Barnsley for Kayden.

Re: Signings
 

Undisclosed fee what a suprise

Re: Signings
 

Good luck to Rommy at Orient.
A player who always gave 101% for the team & left us with so many great memories.
A loyal servant of the club and a true Stanley legend who was always, and will remain, a fans favourite.

Re: Signings
 

I was impressed with this player but we still seem to leave him out on the wing alone while we bunch play in front of the whinney hill stand. When we do look up and spread the ball wide we make a dangerous attacking force. Pierro and Jonno were also left in limbo to long as we failed to lift our heads up and look. If we can crack that and improve our lines of communication by appointing a captain that will command the field we will go up. This is a good squad just waiting to get going. Oldham should be a good true marker as to where we are at this moment. We do still need one or two players including a keeper. But I do feel it is our turn and we are good enough this time.

Re: Signings
 

Where has this come from? Nothing on fishy site as yet, gutted if it's right :(

Sorry, just searched on twitter & found it - gonna be missed, best of luck Rommy & hope Orient have sorted their problems out & they treat you right

Re: Signings
 

did he play against us at grimsby last season. seems most of his goals have been scored in divisions below where we are. only time will tell wether its money well spent. good luck to the lad. wonder if he,s got an interpreter signed with him.

Re: Signings
 

he came on at grimsby in the 84th minute

Re: Signings
 

Wonder who is going to play 3 strikers now let,s hope it isn,t just 1 upfront because we really need to start scoring regularly.

Re: Signings
 

Agree, doubt very much if it will be more than 1 though.:(

Re: Signings
 

I think you will find that quite a lot of strikers score their goals in lower divisions that's how scout's make their money.

Re: Signings
 

not having a go at the lad before anyone gets upset but it is a bit of a gamble. for every jamie vardy there are plenty of others who don,t make it playing higher than a certain level. come out of non league where they score loads but never hit the net in the football league. really hope he does come off for us and goes on to bigger things.

Re: Signings
 

If he wasn't a gamble, Stanley couldn't afford him. ;)

Re: Signings
 

Good news to read that Jordan Clark has extended his contract. :)

Re: Signings
 

Brilliant news!
Without doubt Jordan will play a vital role in our promotion this season.
:hothothot

Re: Signings
 

No doubt at all fer me a great signing extension, well done Stanley.:)

Re: Signings
 

Best signing so far ....... Clicker will have an important role this season.

Re: Signings
 

Good news indeed :)

Re: Signings
 

Gary Roberts available on a free! For one, I would welcome his experience back at Stanley.

Bit about Roberts towards the end of the article

Re: Signings
 

All about the $ and length of contract.

Re: Signings
 

High lads/Lasses, Bradford fan here, just wondered if this lad is any good? Cheers and good luck for the season.
Bradford City ponder move for local lad Matty Pearson (From Bradford Telegraph and Argus)

Re: Signings
 

No, he is rubbish!!

Re: Signings
 

Not like an owner to come out and say that when a prized asset is creating interest .......

Re: Signings
 

Since when has saying no contact made creating interest? or is he one of yours and you are?

Re: Signings
 

Transfer Central rumoured the move

Someone 'at Bradford' confirmed contact had been made but nothing imminent

Andy replied "with who, first Ive heard of it"

Wht would he not deny it at that juncture? By all means ramp up interest if a move is on the cards, but not at such cheek.

Bradford 'appen think they got McCarten for next to nowt so can come offer another set of tracksuits to take Pearson.

£1m and Shay McCarten please

Re: Signings
 

I would be very wary when stories like this arise. Is it just an agent trying to unsettle a player?? or is there serious interest behind the scenes? We can only watch.

Re: Signings
 

It's all kicking off on Twitter !!!!

Re: Signings
 

I would really hope that we don't lose anyone else especially so close to the start of the season - can only keep everything crossed that we now keep our squad intact

Re: Signings
 

The interest has been created on every transfer site you care to visit via social media.
What Im saying is that Andy has rightly denied any knowledge because to confess there is might bring other suitors along.
It's all a game but let's be clear.
Pearson is a contracted player so if Accrington say no - it's NO.
Every commodity has a price.

Re: Signings
 

Going against the grain here,but Mattys more than proved himself at this level.
If the deal (money) suited Acci,then I would love to see him ply his trade at an higher level.
Top lad and I have no doubt he would be a success.
Funny Wigans not been in for him :)

Re: Signings
 

F19 - that's because you're confusing Wigan with a higher level! :rolleyes:

Re: Signings
 

To keep you all smiling;

Matty P has just returned from a 2nd training session of the day and he's totally unaware of any new interest in him.

With a big smile on his face his words were; " i cant stop people talking about me; see you on Thursday morning" :)

Another one agreed an extension to his contract, Sean McConville signed up until 2019 :) good lad Sean!

Re: Signings
 

Two more years of bickering guaranteed.

andy has probebly denied knowledge as there hasn,t been anything official going on at the moment. no matter what happens over the next few days he still is our player and i,m sure that we,ll get a good fee for him. the give away days are over. probebly another reason our stay away follower has turned his back on the club. he,ll be hard to replace if he does go, so quicker something happens one way or another is better for us and matty.

Re: Signings
 

Wouldn't be the same without it :rolleyes:

Re: Signings
 

Bradford is a good club but I hope he gets Stanley promoted

Re: Signings
 

Ross Sykes signed for Leeds...?

https://twitter.com/sykes2_sykes/sta...47752961097728

Re: Signings
 

:) Dined a two years deal in 2016 so under contract to Stanley so there must be a Transfer Fee payable by Leeds ;)

Re: Signings
 

Hes a good young player, too early to move to Leeds i think, be a shame if we lost the lad.

Re: Signings
 

He's on trial for a week. Easy tigers going nowhere ....... for now.

Re: Signings
 

Mab, is this some form of new contract where we'll be paid in pies?????

Re: Signings
 

He was at Sunderland last year ...

I'm led to believe he is highly rated, and Coley stated 12 months ago we'd get a high fee for him - so why dont we play him and get the fee higher!

Re: Signings
 

Thought Sykes looked a good prospect in the first half against PNE.
I hope he stays and can develop at Stanley but, if the club has to lose one of its central defenders,......

Re: Signings
 

We may be after Akinfenwa that could be the reason?

Re: Signings
 

dressing room is too small at the moment, would need to change in his car before the game.

Re: Signings
 

Paul Cook willing to listen to offers for Omar Bogle now he would get some goals.

Re: Signings
 

Apparently want £800k for him and it's really peed off the Wigan fans whose wraith for the snake appears to be growing especially as they want to bring in one Gary Roberts and Noel Hunt and bin out Bogle

Re: Signings
 

NewsNow: Loading story... :)

Re: Signings
 

The interest from Bradford City & now Leeds in our players speaks volumes of the background work the management have put in to produce players worthy of playing at a much higher level.
The first team & academy coaches should be congratulated on achieving such success on what must be a shoestring budget.

Re: Signings
 

Our Cat 3 Academy has a very generous PL funding; just under £300k pa plus the club contributes more than the minimum required. This is currently the case and was the same under Peter Marsden's reign.

Re: Signings
 

I see that Morecambe have signed a Kiwi ,Steve Old. He went to primary school with my eldest girl and his dad was an All Black. Glad Steven chose the right sport. :)

Re: Signings
 

How "Home Grown"Ross Sykes has never been given a chance to prove himself in a Stanley shirt and so easily allowed to go for a trial at Leeds beggars belief. What is the reason for constantly overlooking this talented,ambitious 17 year old week after week? I don't understand the idea of bringing through a young player to the point of getting on the bench and then blocking his progress from that point on. What ever is the outcome of this situation, I wish Ross the very best for his future and should he prove to be successful at another club then I will begin to wonder what criteria is applied by management to get selected to play.

Re: Signings
 

we have all wondered this in the past especially when those out of form were selected week after week. at the end of the day coley might trust some players more than others to carry out his game plan and rate some higher than others. don,t think he,s got a downer on young players as he,s signed plenty on loan. it could be just our home grown ones that fall into that catogary. we,ll never really know.

Re: Signings
 

While I get what you're saying about our young players not often being selected I don't think allowing Ross the opportunity of a trial with a championship club (albeit Leeds!) is 'blocking his progress' but denying him that chance could be.
Were we blocking Connor Mahoney's progress when we let him go to Rovers after only playing a couple of times for our first team? He seems to have done well for himself since - it might not work out at Leeds & Ross may well come back, if so I really hope he gets his chance in the first team when he's ready to do so.

Re: Signings
 

Disagree accymad, its blocking his progress at stanley, the place i believe the lad was dead keen to do so.Also doubt a club of Leeds stature would take on trial one who they thought wasn't ready?

Re: Signings
 

Don't want to say any more on here regarding Ross and I could if I wanted. I come very well informed!

Re: Signings
 

Well then, you'll have to forgive those of us who aren't well informed for trying to see it from a different perspective :rolleyes:

Re: Signings
 

Well it does beat ass kissing.:rolleyes:

Re: Signings
 

Out of interest, I wonder what Sykes postcode is................ Good luck to the lad if he gets a move. Another case of "Face doesn't fit" more than likely.

Re: Signings
 

The kids got talent. However sometimes it's assumed they're ready where they're not.
Very difficult to curb enthusiasm.
If he goes he won't get near the first team squad for two seasons.
Regan Poole another talent who was at Newport now with Man U. Just gone on loan to Northampton.

Re: Signings
 

He would be lucky to get a proper chance here in two seasons in my view, the few bits we have seen of him playing with the big boys he dont look outa place, not just my view that either.

Re: Signings
 

Ross is officially still at Stanley. He's been at Leeds on trial but as yet, no offer has been made. Watch this space.

Re: Signings
 

He's a novice and still growing physically.
Certainly talented but if I'm honest not ready for the rigours of League Two - just yet.
He will get lost in the mire with Leeds.

Re: Signings
 

You find most young centre backs tend to be given more game time at fullback,e.g. Tom lees,whilst they get experience.
Probably their mistakes are less costly in wide areas.
Think the emergence of Rodgers last year cost Sykes his chance,good young player tho

Re: Signings
 

Team photo shoot tomorrow I believe wonder if there will be any new faces on that we maybe are signing?

Re: Signings
 

I'm one of Sykes biggest fans, Not seen a great deal of him but when I have he's looked good!

The thing is now who do you drop to "give him a game"

Personally I'd send him out on loan, not because he's not good enough but just to get him that invaluable experience before throwing him in at League 2!

Re: Signings
 

Let's just hope whoever's on it stays put & doesn't 'do a Buxton' & disappear tomorrow.

P.s. Does anyone know if squad nos are done today too?

Re: Signings
 

I agree baldy. He's potentially a big money asset for the club. To allow him to leave now wouldn't be a very good business decision to say the least.

Re: Signings
 

The kid is ambitious and eager. Nothing wrong with that but he needs to take stock. The grass isn't always greener.
Leicester were dead keen last year as were Sunderland.
All in good time Ross. Leeds not right for you.

Re: Signings
 

Ross played tonight against Padiham!

Still think he could do with a loan move instead of being chucked Infront of a bus at football league level and a few hours in the gym with some weights!

Looks promising though

Re: Signings
 

P.s. Does anyone know if squad nos are done today too?[/QUOTE]

Re: Signings
 

Signed Danish goalkeeper Simon Bloch Jorgensen. Dan Jewell says registration of players has to be in by midday to play tomorrow! Could expect 1 more player and a departure Is matty on his way out?

Re: Signings
 

CB & RB


Stanley loan Brighton duo ? Accrington Stanley

Re: Signings
 

Two loan defenders.....to replace Matty and Young Sykes, or maybe it'll be 8-1-1 this season? .:rolleyes:

Re: Signings
 

Plenty of defenders..........

Re: Signings
 

Not sure about that, but it looks like we will be playing with 12, as this pair are more than likely to replace Matty :D

:) :) :)

Re: Signings
 

BRIGHTON!!?

Why can't Coley just stick to what he knows and just sign Scousers!!!

Re: Signings
 

Looks like 2 promising loans to me.:)

Re: Signings
 

If they are as good as the last pair we loaned from Hull, I would be well pleased :)

:) :) :)
