Josh Windass!

Hopefully if we get promotion this year it may be an incentive for players like josh to stay with the club
 
But in MY opinion.....we've got to start securing our better prospects on longer deals and better terms....in order to get better deals...when the bigger clubs come to dine from our table...

One can only imagine the sort of transfer fees we'd be receiving for players like Josh Windass & Matt Crooks if their contracts weren't up in the coming summer

its easier said than done as players seem to be loathed to sign longer contracts when clubs are sniffing around for them. the facts are that we are like everyother club in the 4th. tier of football a selling club. you cant hold onto players as I am sure everyone wants to play at a higher level and for the most money they can get. its not the case of greedy footballers as most of us have left jobs they like for promotion and more money. we and I,m sure coley is looking for possible replacements for any player who leaves as a drop in form in the new year would certainly see gates dropping as fans would show their disappointment. lets enjoy what we,ve got whilst we can and give anyone our best wishes in their future careers.
 
I'm surprised nobody's mentioned the most logical idea. Sell them with the condition they're loaned back to us for the rest of the season. The player's get game time insteadof being sat on the bench and we claim the maximum fee.

As a famous meerkat once said. Simples!!!!
 
There was nearly a riot on here when Crooks signed an 18 month deal - just imagine if it had been a 5 year one :eek:

Just goes to show what we know................ :rolleyes:

That is one of the best post in a long time, everyone near on slated crooks when he was here first time around! And now the ones who slated him sing his praise! He is a quality player for Accrington and long may that continue
 
Let's just say. I've been unhappy when various Stanley players have missed a penalty or missed an open goal, or given a away a penalty, or made a mistake in defence resulting in a goal which leads to losing three points or resulting in a cup exit...... But! ..... I've never been happier when that awfull awfull player just goes and proves HE HAS THAT TALENT....NO NAMES NEEDED.... So let's just wish the current crop of players GOOD LUCK TOMORROW IN THE FA CUP! 😀😀😀
 
Just take the money and run ASFC..it may cost us a playoff spot, and to bad about my $5 @$15/1 to make the play offs, but our future as a viable entity would be assured for sometime.

True, & must admit I was gobsmacked when we signed him up but obviously I couldn't see the wood for the trees at that point. I think it showed a lot of character for Crooksy to want to come here knowing the stick he'd had first time round & that did make me start to warm to the lad & then when he started to play so well (once he was in right position),well the rest is history - love him & would be gutted if he left in January

Heres one that didn't, I slated the manager fer playing him out of position, but most of the arse lickers couldn't see that fact.:rolleyes:

how much would we gain by betting promotion. with a mostly northern division I could see gates regularly double what we get at the moment. this as got to be measured against what we,d get for a player in January or end of season tribunal. just because there is some undisclosed fee in the bank there is no guarantee it will be spent wisely or too our liking as fans.

well assuming a 1500 person hike at the gate
multiplied by 23 home games
multiplied by £15 per person
equals £517,500

if there's a million on offer I'd take it. No guarantee's of promotion either way so take what's available when it's available

that's a big if. I personally think we,d be very lucky to get that amount for both josh and matt. neither player is the finished article and both are still young and learning their trade. remember 12 months ago not many were happy to see either in the side. if both improve with us to the extent they have then the price would certainly go up . no point warming the bench at a championship club apart from the financial side to them. its certainly going to be an interesting few months in prospect at the crown.
 
Purely in 'Football Terms' I would rather that somehow we kept both of these lads so that we could continue to watch the superb passing, entertaining football that we have witnessed so far this season!.....
In my own dreamland of course!:joint::updown::bootyshak:indeplus::Peace::music8::signbeer::Banane13:
