Beckles gone
 

On the clubs Facebook page Beckles gone to Shrewsbury

Re: Beckles gone
 

Defender Omar Beckles has joined League One side Shrewsbury Town for an undisclosed fee.

The 25-year-old signed for Stanley last year after leaving Aldershot and was a regular in the side which finished just outside the play-offs.

Beckles scored three goals last season and grabbed an opening day goal in the victory over Colchester.

“Shrewsbury have been interested in Omar for quite a while and, after talking to the player at length, he decided he wanted to go,” said Stanley boss John Coleman.

“With him only having a year left on his contract, we had to take several things into account, the main factor being his desire to play somewhere else.”

A bit inconsistent for me, good luck to the lad but can't really see him breaking any pots in league one

Re: Beckles gone
 

Agree with Accymad, good on his day but a bit iffy fer me, not been here 2mins but wanted to go it says, so good riddance. imho.

Re: Beckles gone
 

Sorry to see him go, but we've got better

Everton for one.;) miles better imho.

Ow do. J.T. the Shrews fan here. Paul Hurst has signed 13 new players, most of them from League 2 or non league. The average age of our team the other day was 23. So I think PH sees these young lads as a chance to improve them. We've got loads of pace in the side and they're as fit as a butchers dog.

I always look out for Accy's results, so best of luck for the season.

Re: Beckles gone
 

All the best Omar :)

Good player, with plenty of potential - in my opinion :)

Done well for us, had some criticism, which was unfair - my opinion.

I could see him playing in a midfield role, as he has what it takes, but as most have said, people/players come and go, but Stanley will still be there ;)

:) :) :)

Re: Beckles gone
 

Sadly, something we all expected after the recent speculation.
Always thought Omar was cool, calm & collected as a full-back.
Never seemed to panic under pressure & always looked to play the right ball, not just hoof it anywhere.
During his time at Stanley, he's had the chance to play against higher opposition & always seemed to raise his game.
Can't blame the lad for wanting to make the step-up.
Seems like a shrewd move by the Shrews.
Wish you all the best Omar!

Re: Beckles gone
 

Can we use the cash to bring in a new keeper?

Re: Beckles gone
 

He's got to be better than Toto. Gave away two penalties on Saturday. Wish him all the best.

Re: Beckles gone
 

Yep. Ta-da lad but Big Ben two names is a more than adequate replacement.

Watching him live I think he was 'class' but dirty. Exuded confidence but has an error in him. For a younger guy he was decent. Has potential to be better still and will only get better against regular better opposition. £100k and we've done well

Watching his highlights reel though we had the love child of Beckenbaur and Maldini playing for us https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8QS585HkawU £1m plus add ons would be sufficient

Plug in not supported? Oh well, type omar beckles showreel into you tube ...

Re: Beckles gone
 

He will make an impact at Shrewsbury as he has the experience. Good luck to the lad I just wish all this could happen outside the open season. Like others have said wehave quality on the bench.

Re: Beckles gone
 

Been going for weeks...Even when squad numbers come out and he was number 12

Re: Beckles gone
 

Good luck to the lad.got decent composure in possession and I think he's not peaked yet.
You can tell he played his early football in midfield,good balance and pace.

Re: Beckles gone
 

its working ok Rob:)

Re: Beckles gone
 

Good luck, Omar, and thanks for all your efforts with Stanley.

Re: Beckles gone
 

I only saw him a few times, but was particularly impressed with his speed and composure coming back towards goal to make recovery tackles (e.g. first minute against Woking). Contrariwise, his composure on the ball when we were "building from the back" often made me nervous - but I don't recall him ever actually losing the ball in that situation.

But if the Accyweb collective tells me we've got better players in now, I'm happy, and wish him well.

Re: Beckles gone
 

Coley said he was disappointed and told Omar he needed another season rather than going to sit on someone elses vench. Blue n Amber reckon 50-75k, which is shocking if true.

Re: Beckles gone
 

Thank God that's over. Worst kept secret ever. Deal done in principal weeks ago then he pops up on team sheet v Mansfield.
Hope Coley has used the drawn out time to his advantage to get a loaner or two in.
Squad is lean and mean.
Yellow cards red cards or injuries and we could be in trouble.

Re: Beckles gone
 

Good luck young man, thought he was class on the few occasions I saw him.

If it is 50-70k then yes it's low, but let's remember the likes of Aldred, Jimmy Ryan etc etc who left for even less! At least we are clawing back good fees for players nowadays.

Re: Beckles gone
 

I don't know it as a fact - but I understood it to be much more than that.

could see him being a toto replacement in the side. always an accident waiting to happen as with us, pools last season and now shrewsbury. cannot blame him leaving, higher division and more money. might have found his level as i cannot see him playing any higher.

Re: Beckles gone
 

We heard 100K that looks like it could be the case, good result if so imho.

Re: Beckles gone
 

Absolutely, specially as he didn't cost us anything if I remember rightly?

Re: Beckles gone
 

Relax Jon - I hear there is a familiar centre half inbound on a loan deal

Re: Beckles gone
 

If so, hope his first name is Tom??

Re: Beckles gone
 

Advise please ?

Re: Beckles gone
 

Aldered is my thoughts.

Re: Beckles gone
 

Advise... Just a little anagram Cashy !... If not Tom Aldred then I hope that my guess is accurate ,

Alfred.E made me do it !.

Re: Beckles gone
 

yeh completely lost me wi that mate.

Re: Beckles gone
 

Either one of them would for me :)

Re: Beckles gone
 

Think he means Davies Cashy :)
