Retained list 2019/20
 

Always like it when things start early :)

https://accringtonstanley.co.uk/2019...retained-list/

I know that players can still move on, but at least we are trying to tie players down :)

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

No big surprises really.

Disappointed Will Wood hardly got a chance to show his potential. Always looked to have a decent left peg whenever I saw him play.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Really?

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Played in all the games where we got a hiding ...

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Presumably, so did ten others?

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

He struggled at Havant&Waterlooville when he was on loan there.
Looked out of his depth vs Barnsley
Saw him in training and he was dreadful.

Agree, no surprises with the 3 released.
Not holding my breath about Big Ben or Scotty signing a new deal.
Imagine Jonny probably will.

Glad Regan and Zehn are staying.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Wouldn’t surprise me if Jonny left...

Think Maxted and Dimi are both good number 2’s and think Coley will be pushing for a better keeper as his number 1.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Aaron Chapman might be shown the door at Peterborough according to a local rag.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

His name belongs in the “Former Players” thread! 😂

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

"Available for transfer" apparently :alright:

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

plus some of the others that have been retained. thought we might have had a bit of a clearout of those who could not claim a regular starting place. need some out to get better new blood in.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Far better keeper's than Chapman will be available im sure.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Agreed mate. Why are certain fans “obsessed”with former players ? I don’t get it.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Not obsessive just a fun topic during the summer months Aaron was a grand bloke but don't think for 1 minute he'll be back maybe Dumbavin could return though.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

I honestly thought Maxted was great at the end of the season when Dimi was suspended.

But like others have said , are they both number 2 keepers ???

There's always a loanee keeper from a Prem/ Championship team available im sure. Pretty much our best keepers over the last 20 years have been loanees, (Ripley, Betinelli, Elliott, Randolph to name but 4) with all due respect to the permanent lads.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Apparently it’s been reported that Stanley are interested in ex Hibs keeper Ross Laidlaw, also 6ft5. This tho may depend on Maxted staying or not.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

You just could just be right accytom18 ;)
Hibs keeper Laidlaw heading to England? - Hibernian-Mad

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

shame! I really rated him, but don't think JC ever did.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Agree, he was much too tall.:rolleyes:

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Gutted! Can't blame him though, he was dropped every time a new loanee came in - best of luck to him

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Apart from the final few months of the season, I never really rated him.
Hard playing him out of position as a left back.
Didn’t score enough from set pieces.
No surprise he’s gone, closer to home, likely to be more money and looking at Bradford squad more likely he will be played as a CB.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Correct and correct...........

Always liked him as a player and wish him all the best for the future :)

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

thought he was good in division 2 but not so good once we got promoted. good move for him and think he could have a good season with them.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Scott Brown departs

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Wish Scott all the best but age is the thing i reckon.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Signed for Harrogate town

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Best of luck Scott, forever a Stanley legend after those promotion celebrations :)

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

good move for Scotty, great player and a quality bloke.
will be a great signing, reckon he will control the middle in National League.

Only Seamus and Sam in the middle at present.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

About Browns level good luck to him

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Good luck to Scott and thanks for the unbelievable memories!:theband::drink::drink::drink:

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Who could deny the great service Scott Brown has given to our club.
A no nonsense player's player who always gave 100%.
Positive & direct, he contributed greatly to our recent success.
Whenever we were struggling & Scotty came off the bench, I for one would think - 'Thank God for that!'
I'm sure he'll make a huge difference to the fortunes of Harrogate Town.
Thanks for all the memories Scott & the best of luck to you.
Looking forward to seeing you score the winner for Harrogate in a Wembley play-off next season.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

I never rated him that much until later on in the promotion season when I thought he was outstanding. Always gave it his all, and very dependable.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Good insight from #asfc assistant manager Jimmy Bell @BBCLancsSport this evening. Confident Mark Hughes will sign a new contract & stay. Have offered Maxted a deal but thinks he may go the way of Ben Richards-Everton and go elsewhere. A couple of new recruits imminent ish!

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Thanks for that, David. Here's a link to almost an hour's chat: https://www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/p078v5yn. Start at 5:18 to skip the news. Available for another 29 days.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Wouldn’t be surprised if we made a move for Jack Doyle.
Pacy left back just released by Blackburn.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Tranmere are meant to have someone signing for them next week that Stanley has been trying to get for a while ?
Anyone know who it is?

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Danny Rowe heavily linked.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Tranmere can pay bigger wages with a bigger stadium/crowd to fund it?

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Obviously they can but whats that to do with it?

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Just don’t think he fits our type of player at moment, young with a point to prove....
Sam could have earned 25% more wages at least at Wrexham. He chose us to prove himself at league football

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Weve tried to get Rowe a few times, as others have, but he keeps resisting the football league

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

if that was the case we,d never sign anyone. wages and a big ground might appeal to someone who,s at the fag end of their career but a younger lad will get a better chance with us if he knuckles down.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Piero has left...........

https://accringtonstanley.co.uk/2019...eaves-stanley/

Hope whatever he does, he is both succeessful and happy :)

:) :) :)

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Very sorry to see the lad go, was a great bloke.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Good luck, Piero. One of my favourite players.
Hope things work out for you and yours.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Sorry to hear this but not totally surprised - best of luck Piero, wherever you go they'll be lucky to sign you

Re: Retained list 2019/20

Best I can do with the information I can find :)

We have added Joe Pritchard to the midfield also.

We are back in training and fixtures are out, so - bearing in mind Piero - who should/will go and what do we need????

All about opinions - and we all have differing ones :)

I think we need a keeper, plus a creative/attacking midfielder.....as an absolute minimum!!

:) :) :)

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Jimmy Ryan looks to be leaving Blackpool, probably couldn’t afford his wages, but has valuable experience in this league, which could help a lot. And of course was popular here at Stanley.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

there comes a time when all players have to take less than they want just to continue their career. there are hundreds of em looking for clubs, training with different ones just to keep fit in a hope of getting the best deal. i imagine nearer to august it gets they might become a bit less fussy in who they sign for.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Even more convinced we need a keeper :D

:) :) :)

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Just need to register Scouse Tony again :)

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

needed a keeper before maxsted left. good luck to the lad but his penalty saves will be remembered more than his all round goalkeeping.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Stanley allowed Jonny to play the second half for Exeter in a 5-0 win against Jersey last night. Shame that Exeter City also cannot spell his surname correctly!

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

The defence or any teams defence need to have at least 2 quality keepers in the squad to give them confidence which I don't think Johnny did good luck to the lad.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

.................................................. .....

RB Callum Johnson – under contract

CB Mark Hughes – 1 year option (expected to sign)............. some good news for a change :)


https://accringtonstanley.co.uk/2019...-here-to-stay/

Ross needs to play every minute he can with Hughesy, then he can be the next ;)

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Keeper, centre back, left back, 2 central midfielders, winger and 2 strikers minimum

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Would be nice but unfortunately were in the real world.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Reckon 2/3 more permanent and 4/5 on loan.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

agree with the permanent uns, not sure oer the loans though reckon a couple myself. but what do i know. lol

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Coley: A flurry of signings to come...
https://accringtonstanley.co.uk/2019...nings-to-come/

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

trouble with loans are that you only get em usually till the new year and then have to start all over again. for me it would be great if we could start the season without loan players and not be so reliant on em.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Clearly misunderstood him. He meant he was getting a McFlurry from Macdonald’s and Andy Holt was paying.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Young striker signed up :)

https://accringtonstanley.co.uk/2019...shop-transfer/

:) :) :)

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

great for Stanley & the lad, 22 year old that knows where the goal is with 29 goals in the national north

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Welcome to Stanley, Mr. Bishop. Hope it’s not too long afore you’re bursting the opponent’s net.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

We’ve signed Zaine Francis-Anglo on a one year deal defender from AFC flyde

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Two signings in a day - guess this is the flurry :) Will we squeeze one more in today?

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Di;

Nope

But we go again on Monday according to JC:)

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Welcome to Stanley, Zaine.
A welcome left-back!

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

sounds a really good signing. 29 goals in a mid table side on poor pitches, tough defenders and much worse referees than stanley get can be discribed as an achievement itself. looking forward to seeing him.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Another one in, full back Joe Maguire on a free transfer from Fleetwood - welcome aboard

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Think thats the lad played No 3 on thurs night? if so was impressed with the lad.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Another one signing at 3-00pm.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Lamine Sherif midfielder released by Leicester could have some pedigree this lad.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Sounds ok to me we need a good driving midfielder i reckon.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Think Lamine Sherif was the lad who came on in the second half of the Thursday game and slid that player as soon as he came on. Looked a good player in that game, great signing. Buzzing that we’ve signed Joe Maguire too, physical and quick. Bring on August 3rd.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Keeper and a centre forward needed please and squad looks a bit better balanced.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Another incoming 11-00am.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Ben Barclay centre half.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

All the signings so far fit the model outlined in Andy Holt's tweets today. There're very much in the Accrington mould.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Ben's wearing 6 here and scores at the very end:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CQzsA47rvWY

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Suspended for the start of the season.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

1 game me thinks.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Looks to be potentially six good signings there, and the great thing is that they're all OUR players - no loans! And a 3 year contract to a prolific striker

(No doubt we'll need some loans, but you get my drift)

Thank you Lord Andy and Professor Sir J Coley

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

That's the ultimate aim to have or rely on to many loanees maybe 2 or 3 I think this season hopefully we sign a goalie on a permanent deal though.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

think we will have a decent squad if we can add a keeper? fingers crossed.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

[QUOTE=cashman;1229650]think we will have a decent squad if we can add a keeper? fingers crossed.[/QUOTE

Still think an experienced forward is needed subject to knowing what’s going on with Rodney.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Regardless of how good the players are as individuals, they need to quickly gel together as a team.
Did we best have the best individual players when we won League 2? No.
Did we have the best team? Yes.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Thats a good assessment i think, but i do think the squad got a good chance of gelling quickly.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Aye, this pre-season the squad has the luxury of several weeks rather than a few hours in the past.;)

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

agree. a keeper like betonelli was on a full season loan would do. the present keepers we have are only back up ones at the best.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Agree yet disagree loanees ok if you can keep them for the duration keeper such an important position also Evtimov is talented a run in the side with a keeper pushing him will do him a world of good Maxted I,m afraid just wasn't up to it for me.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

I also thought Etimov was easily best of the two we had, but a season loan i wouldn't mind but prefer a bought one.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

[QUOTE=andyd;1229659]Agree yet disagree loanees ok if you can keep them for the duration keeper such an important position

i meant for a complete season and not till the new year like last season. do not want to get into the situation like we had a few seasons ago with a different keeper coming in which seemed like every few weeks.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Any news about Rodney ?

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

No but IMHO can't see him returning any time soon shame cause Billy's a great lad.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

Just a quick FYI for anyone going to Bala tomorrow;
Understand it's going to be a mixture of fringe and youth players playing as Coley doesn't want to risk key players on artificial pitch.
Stronger XI on Monday at Warrington.

Re: Retained list 2019/20
 

With the latest signing today, anyone know where you can see an up to date squad list?
