New Signing
 

John O'Sullivan has re-signed on a 3 year contract - bit of a surprise but welcome back Johnno

Re: New Signing
 

I was going to post, when I heard he had left his last club, but thought better of it.........

I am putting myself up to be shot down - for a change - but, do not see this as a good signing!

Not good enough last time he was with us, so fail to how he will be now, hope I am very, very wrong - let us see in 2024!

Didn't see that coming. Typical Coley signing. Happy to give the lad another chance but wouldn't have been top of my list.

Re: New Signing
 

Have to agree with the previous 3 posts but he,s older now and maybe matured a bit never been a doubt there is a good footballer inside him but I used to think he thought he was better than he was, but welcome aboard let's hope you prove any doubters wrong.

Re: New Signing
 

personally i reckon he will be a decent signing for us, we shall have to see.

Re: New Signing
 

Totally underwhelmed.
I thought we’d gone beyond this.

Re: New Signing
 

No Ian Dumbavin signing tomorrow as number 1 keeper Toby will have his work cut out to shift him.

Re: New Signing
 

Would not joke, I doubt very much that O'Sullivan will the last......

Nathen Baxter would be nice.

We have to trust our management as we know they like to o sign familiar players. John O’Sullivan signing on at this stage in his career is almost a copy of when Sean Mac came back to us. If John O’S does as well as Sean S has done we will be very happy. Also IMHO, a players form for other people event clubs is now t the only factor when signing by them up. Our club still have a tight salary budget that shouldn’t be confused with the spending recently on club ground infrastructure etc. I believe John O’S will be great signing because there is still untapped potential in him that our management will get out of him!

Re: New Signing
 

like all signings its a wait and see. if we had signed a player of a similar age and experiance who had not played for stanley before from another div.2 promoted club i think the reaction would have been different. as choirboy said he could turn out as a new sean.

Re: New Signing
 

Or a Gary Roberts. Everyone saying budget tight ..... but give him a three year deal.

Re: New Signing
 

As a club we have been crying out for longer deals on players so has not to be ripped off every summer when someone has had a blinder, we will still be paying some of the lower wages in this league but it's a rise to most we sign on. Think unless you have a mega rich owner some attendance based financially dependant clubs after the last fanless 12+ months will be cutting their respective cloths.

Re: New Signing
 

gary roberts is a damn good player but 3 year deal when the lads 37 is ridiculous to me

Re: New Signing
 

Not sure if I,m right but sure that when he signed in January it was a short term deal until the end of the season, either way he left by mutual consent to join the coaching staff at Ipswich we might even have received a bit of compensation.
