Re: Signings
 

All those not happy with Mangan signing are showing little faith in our management team as far as i'm concerned, think with what they have achieved for us thats very poor.they have brought some damn good players into the club oer the years, more good than poor i would suggest.

Re: Signings
 

Mangy has great football league experience that could be invaluable for players like Zanzala, Andrew Scott and Niall Watson!

Re: Signings
 

Is it worth a BET, he gets into double figures for goals.

Re: Signings
 

While I’m not over the moon about Mangan signing, he does have experience in this league and that counts for something. I’m sure he’ll be ready as he’s trained with us all summer. I do hope that Coley gives Zanzala a chance though, as he looks promising to me.

Re: Signings
 

Everyone's entitled to their opinion Cashy, can't blame anyone for erring on the side of caution about this signing - if he proves us wrong, fine & for everyone's sake I hope he does, but personally I can't help having doubts.
Obviously, when he's on the pitch in a Stanley shirt those niggly thoughts will be put aside & he'll have my full support but the jury is definitely out as yet.

Re: Signings
 

Of coarse everyones entitled to their opinion, I aint blaming anyone i'm just giving mine, I find it very strange,after a guy has been training with us, and our management thinks yeh he will do, people think he may not,:eek: it just beats the crap outa me.:confused:

Re: Signings
 

is it a bit like when the management show faith in a current player who might be experiencing a slight loss of form and other people don't show that same faith?

maybe like, say, when that player is Sean McConville?

Re: Signings
 

Not really, S,M. has improved in leaps and bounds, when before he was not too good for many many times.:rolleyes:

Re: Signings
 

Can the club sign free transfers after the window?

A good few keepers currently without a club, and with most clubs now stocked up with keepers they may have more realistic wage demands.

Re: Signings
 

We have a keeper!! Season long loan from Middlesbrough - 25 year old Connor Ripley, welcome to Stanley young man :)

Phew!! That was close :cool:

Re: Signings
 

We've only gone and signed a keeper!

Connor Ripley on loan from Middlesborough

Re: Signings
 

Thats a bit of good news.

Re: Signings
 

He's the son of Stuart Ripley who used to play for Rovers apparently - bit of useless trivia :)

Re: Signings
 

Been loaned out to seven clubs in last 6 seasons. Played 15 games for Bury last season. I’ll check with my mate a staunch Bury fan what he thought.
Wish his dad was a few years younger .........and available !

Re: Signings
 

There were few dull moments when Andy was at Shrewsbury especially his FA Cup goals.
However that was League 2 2015-16.
He was used a lot back then as a sub - impact player.
We don’t do that here so the plan must be to start him.
Fingers crossed ........
