January transfer window
 

John Coleman said he is looking at bringing 2 players in ideas anyone, defence looking good so for me a Striker and maybe another midfielder? Could be some going out other way maybe loan or permanently if not getting game time.

Re: January transfer window
 

myself i would get a defender and a striker. if we do get 2

Re: January transfer window
 

I do not think we need anybody in.

My worry is players out, either loan ending, or worse - somebody going for wonga........

Got to say, I am astonished how much money has been spent on players, in these times....

we have got a better than average decent team now. bringing someone new in could affect the balance of the side even if they are thought of as better players. as you said its loseing players that bothers me also.

Re: January transfer window
 

nothing to do with that to me its players getting injured thats the main cause of getting 2 in i think.we already got 2 damn good uns injured,

Re: January transfer window
 

Possibly a winger

Re: January transfer window
 

Don't you mean wing back?

Re: January transfer window
 

Nope, a winger. We still have them.

Re: January transfer window
 

Ched Evans has left Fleetwood for disaplinery rules according to Barton bit rich but it's breaking news.

Re: January transfer window
 

Tounge in cheek but seriously why a winger playing the system we are so successfully, Coleman said he was watching some non league player the other week but he will watch loads, still need another striker imho personally.

Re: January transfer window
 

got to be ready to adapt for a change if needed. Mansell will come good just needs to get match-fit, lot of bounce games etc keeping the squad players fit.

Re: January transfer window
 

If Barton's saying it's disciplinary reasons he must've really misbehaved, thought problem players is part of their ethos at Fleetwood :rolleyes:

Re: January transfer window
 

Coley in his post match interview said that the team are starting to play with the confidence and swagger of a promotion side and he is still reluctant to use subs willy nilly, along with his great coaching team and maybe a bit of money from Andy they might think 2 position,s with the right personal might just push us all the way. Also there is strong interest in young Savin from Southampton maybe a bid has already gone in if so a keeper might be a target, like a bit of interest come window time.

Re: January transfer window
 

Right wing back please

Re: January transfer window
 

All down to money as usual in the window Evans at Fleetwood was on £4500 a week, Grigg who Sunderland want out the door £6000 a week our top 3 earners are 3 of the loannees so it's uncut gems or bargain basement buys which has been a success usually.

Re: January transfer window
 

Opens tomorrow way Coley is talking looking like one definitely in possibly two.

Re: January transfer window
 

It is the other way that bothers me...........

Re: January transfer window
 

What do we think of the re-signing??

https://www.accringtonstanley.co.uk/...robbo-returns/

:) :) :)

Re: January transfer window
 

Getting on, but great to see him 'back home'. Can anyone remember that thunderbolt he got vs Stockport for us?

Re: January transfer window
 

well i think it could be a great signing for us he is class.what i would like to know is how long is this clearance likely to take?

Re: January transfer window
 

Dam, bloody old age...it wasnt Gary, but Michael Welch I now think..around 2006/7..someone will know.

Re: January transfer window
 

It was stood right behind it eye level view was going in the moment it left his foot.

Re: January transfer window
 

Two outstanding memories of Gary Roberts from the 2006 season:
1. Away at Gray’s Athletic, ball passed to Roberts out on left wing level with penalty area, he sells a dummy (a la Pele) to the full back without touching the ball, runs around the defender, and crosses for Paul Mullin to slot home. Brilliant.
2. Cold wet Tuesday night at Aldershot, pitch completely waterlogged, floodlights reflecting in the puddles, but ref miraculously allows game to go ahead and Gary Roberts tears the Shots apart and bags two goals.
Welcome back, hope he gets a chance to shine.

Re: January transfer window
 

Welcome back to Stanley Gary, but does this mean Paul Cook might return? LOL

Re: January transfer window
 

Think having Roberts back is a good move as he knows this league very well and has had promotion from this division too. I don’t expect him to be a regular or be as good as he was before with him being older, however he will be a solid addition for sure. Good signing!

The only better news today is Joey Barton leaving Fleetwood lol.

Re: January transfer window
 

Don't spoil this news Ozzy, every silver lining doesn't have to have a cloud :D

Re: January transfer window
 

Welcome home Gary, 'the scouse George Best - this news put a smile on my face after a lousy day

Re: January transfer window
 

never saw him play for stanley as it was before my time. its a type of signing where he could be just a bench warmer or another kevin ellison.

Re: January transfer window
 

Gary is a class player at this level he has managed to stay reletively injury free ok obviously and by his own admission his pace has gone but his football brain will still be sharp if not sharper can see him straight in on bench and in the team with the amount of fixtures to fit in, especially if there insisting on no break.

Re: January transfer window
 

saw him play for wigan at a higher level than ours and the guy is class.

Re: January transfer window
 

Remember those two games well Exile. Tv cameras at Grays cos they were expecting to break a record with another straight win. Mangan got red for a bit of petulance and Coley was invited by the ref to watch from the stand !
At Aldershot we had to queue outside ground to await ref's last minute pitch inspection. Brought uncle Proccy Fan with me - at one point he needed a pee and when he came back I had to tell him about 2 rapid goals he had missed. Won 5 - 0 me thinks

Re: January transfer window
 

Yeah, at the time I seem to recall Grays thought they would be walking into League 2, but an unfancied horse came up on the rails and beat the lot to the title! :)
Aldershot was a great result, but a ‘mere’ 1-4 score line on that night! :)

Re: January transfer window
 

Could Doniecian be on his way back ?

Re: January transfer window
 

Why do you ask??

:) :)

Re: January transfer window
 

And after his last loan spell....

Re: January transfer window
 

Because he's available Coleman rates him can play right or left wing back/ full back, center half, or even midfield and he,s a decent player you add if you have ambitions of top six finish.Plus I think there could be room in the sguad as there could be some going the other way possibleby on loan.

Re: January transfer window
 

doubt if we have room to pay him, must be on a lot more than he was here? would love him back but cant see it myself,

Re: January transfer window
 

If and it's a big if Cashy he would probably be on loan yes I know that would make 7 but most aren't getting a game anyway and we have had more than that before.

Re: January transfer window
 

Time to look forwards not backwards.
We've got better defenders already.

Re: January transfer window
 

Didn't stop us going for Roberts, one or two more signing in January according to John this morning, doesn't seem keen on picking McGuire, Mohammed or any of the younger lads so personally think defence could do with experienced cover.

Re: January transfer window
 

It didn't and whilst this will be very unpopular I think any cost could have been invested better.
Has the same ring as the lauded return of Piero.

Re: January transfer window
 

Piero was a good player at the level we were at also a top bloke but nowhere near the standard of Roberts in my view.

Re: January transfer window
 

Rumour?
https://www.twtd.co.uk/ipswich-town-...-with-donacien

Re: January transfer window
 

Not sure Mike, but I think we both know Coley likes to sign the same players time and time again :)

Wonder if anybody will beat Craney??

:) :) :)

Re: January transfer window
 

or the standard of clarke at the time who had his position.

Re: January transfer window
 

Cleared to play if selected.

Re: January transfer window
 

reckon he will be on bench tomoz.

Re: January transfer window
 

Mansell gone out on loan to Halifax.

Re: January transfer window
 

Striker incoming?

Re: January transfer window
 

Coley still saying last night due to amount of games to squeeze in wants 2 or 3 could well be some leaving but looking forward possibly to next season if we go up he could be looking long term, with Mansell out on loan a forward looks a priority maybe 2.

Re: January transfer window
 

And scores on his debut at The Walks! Get match fit, young man, you may be needed.

Re: January transfer window
 

Tom Allen recalled to Newcastle from his loan good luck lad in the future didn't really shine for us but frees up a space in the squad.

Re: January transfer window
 

was well thought of at newcastle but might have been better for his development to go to a national league club at his stage. we will not know for awhile but he might have come to stanley 18 months or so too early.

Re: January transfer window
 

Blackpool have said defenders Teddy Howe and Jordan Thorneily are free to find other clubs don't no much about Howe apart from being Don,s son Jordan impressed while on loan here but probably out of our price range apart from short term deal and agreement with Blackpool on money upfront on his wages.

Re: January transfer window
 

Looking like Doniecian is heading to Fleetwood today on loan so if he was a target that's one down.

Re: January transfer window
 

Coley was hoping for 2 or 3 in before Tuesday can't see much happening over weekend so Monday could be busy?

Re: January transfer window
 

cant see 2 or 3 landing on monday looks to me like hes struggled with whoever he wanted? if anyone lands monday probably not available tues anyway.

Re: January transfer window
 

Coley just said on radio Lancs he feels like Terry Wogan on Blankety Blank in the transfer window every target missed seems that further up the league's we go harder it is to attract players, presume Doniecian was one only guess at others says he will soldier on looking unlikely before tomorrow now.

Re: January transfer window
 

that dont surprise me at all.

Re: January transfer window
 

thing is coley is looking for better players than he would have done a few seasons ago. higher up we go there are more teams to offer more money at the so called bigger clubs. even if you live in birmingham and get a loan offer from stanley and charlton who would you actually pick as a player.

Re: January transfer window
 

That's why just as we were building a fanbase over 2000 we have hit with this awful pandemic a brick wall so future pay rises in the budget are probably hard to justify so probably still shopping in bargain window.

Re: January transfer window
 

i cannot understand what J.C. has said about its harder to sign players in Div1 than when your bottom end of Div2 and he cannot understand why?? its pretty obvious to me and im sure to most people.!

Re: January transfer window
 

Another rumour Paul Smyth recalled from loan at Charlton apparently on our radar for a return.

Re: January transfer window
 

Did not look all that good the other night.... Might just have been the beard :D

Re: January transfer window
 

Stanley interested in re signing Paul Smyth,free agent at the end of the season.
Liked that little chap when he was here last,especially his back flip when he scored .

Re: January transfer window
 

He's a good player, think he just got frustrated against us that his tricky play wasn't coming off for him - was still relieved when he was subbed though

Re: January transfer window
 

Welcome back, Paul Smyth:
https://www.accringtonstanley.co.uk/...joins-on-loan/

Hope you enjoy your second spell with the Reds!

Re: January transfer window
 

not a bad signing at all in my view. welcome back.

Re: January transfer window
 

You heard it here first welcome back Paul hope you have a decent spell back at the Wham great turn of pace and a great backflip when you score.

Re: January transfer window
 

Honest question - where do you see him playing and who is he going to replace ?

Re: January transfer window
 

Well seeing as we have 26 games left to play and he is a striker by trade firstly straight on bench as Cassidy is injured Mansell on loan then hopefully get some game time in a very congested period simple.

Re: January transfer window
 

So not straight in - agreed.
After that it isn't simple.
So you see him as a striker. So replacement for Bishop or Charles during a congested period.
I cant see Charles and Smyth working but Smyth off Bishop ok.

Re: January transfer window
 

The reason I ask is because he hasn't played as part of a front two at Charlton.

Re: January transfer window
 

I'm also thinking as part of a front two in place of Charles......who is either subbed or moved to wing-back. Unless our manager has other ideas......?

Re: January transfer window
 

Well if you check he actually has, like I said he has been brought in to hopefully strengthen our strike force but as Coley likes players who adapt. he can play out wide as well, plus if he impresses his contract is up in July who knows

Re: January transfer window
 

Rarely.
He's played right of a three like he did against us but only a couple of times with 2 up top.
When coming on as sub he's often replaced the right midfielder.
Maybe we will go 3-4-3 on occasions ?

Re: January transfer window
 

Also last season at Wycombe he played a few in a 2 and a few in a 3 depending on the formation makes him a very useful acquisition especially with his pace keep the opposition on its toes.

Re: January transfer window
 

agree on that. at least he can play in more than one position and not just in an emergency. think its a good move bringing him back especially as i was more than a bit worried who we actually did or were able to sign.

Re: January transfer window
 

Just wondering if big Ryan Edwards could be on our radar Wigan were rumoured to be interested but have brought Tilt in on loan, Edwards is up at Dundee United but his family are down here, rumoured to want a move near home, 27 6ft 5in decent player would probably involve small fee but wages probably right just a thought.

Re: January transfer window
 

John Coleman expecting it to be a quiet day regarding incomings on deadline day, 2 targets missed and 2 wanting money we haven't got.

Re: January transfer window
 

as long as there are no outgoings i,m not all that bothered to be honest. do not want anyone who may be sub standard signed even on loan who at the best only makes the bench and then unused just for the sake of it.

Re: January transfer window
 

surprised at least not 1 outgoing.

Re: January transfer window
 

Just listened to his interview doesn't mention any leaving but hasn't given up hope on 1 today incoming, what was more interesting was how the club might be more attractive in 12 months with the new facilities behind the main stand and the training pitch? , something I have banged on a bit for a while in the past training facilities or lack of I personally know has put players off in the past. The big question is where is this pitch at the sports hub my gut feeling or elsewhere.

Re: January transfer window
 

Looking like another midfielder on loan coming in Adam Phillips from Burnley currently on loan for his second stint at Morecambe.

Re: January transfer window
 

If this is true [and I've no reason to believe it's not] then it would be a good signing. He's very highly thought of at Morecambe.

Re: January transfer window
 

Signing (s) imminent.

Re: January transfer window
 

What position does Imminent play? :)

Re: January transfer window
 

2 in and signed on the dotted line.

Re: January transfer window
 

Could be a nightmare for Dan Jewell imminent 1 and imminent 2 in the same lineup.

Re: January transfer window
 

Welcome on board Adam Phillips on loan till end of season could be a shrewd signing this one scores plenty from midfield, unavailable for tomorrow , permanent signing to be announced later tying paperwork over assume also unavailable tomorrow.

Re: January transfer window
 

phillips looks a promising lad. needed midfield cover defo.reckon j.c. has done very well this window.

Re: January transfer window
 

The permanent lad coming in will probably be a defender or possibly another midfielder what you think Cashy?

Re: January transfer window
 

dunno andy my thoughts is mid fielder./centre half poss.

Re: January transfer window
 

David Morgan 2 and half year deal central midfielder Southport's captain another from them and Northern Ireland international same as Dion welcome and good luck.

Re: January transfer window
 

We're gonna have to build an extension onto the changing rooms at this rate, welcome aboard lads

Re: January transfer window
 

It also creates some genuine competition in the middle of the park, Morgan highly rated by Liam Watson and apparently Southport turned down substantial bid from a National league side but felt couldn't stand in the way of this move, also Philips rated this season has stand out in league 2, if you're serious about finishing high up the league this is a positive move.

Re: January transfer window
 

Southport fans are naturally disappointed in losing their captain and overall best player, saying that they have no doubt he will adapt to league 1. With the National league's all about to curtail their season it makes sense for the lad to move now teacher as well so full time football for him now aggressive hard working 90+ midfielder just fits the mould could push the present 3 all the way in midfield what we want, because last 15 minutes at Plymouth tired legs in midfield let them run it more options now for Coley to change.

Re: January transfer window
 

hope he is as good as dion and not like the other lad we got from southport a few years back who never made the jump up from non league. jumping up 3 divisions will not be easy but at least we have experiance of players doing it and coleys record in this is quite good.

Re: January transfer window
 

I rated Liam Nolan to be honest, tall centre midfielder, didn't do anything special but would have been a good squad player to have.

Problem is when you want to play football and can earn more money being a starter in National League.

Re: January transfer window
 

It was the minutes more than the money with Liam.
I too thought he was a good squad member.
