Tom Bender

Welcome on board young Tom :)

6ft 3 at 18 years old, !!!

Must have a serious grow bag somewhere ;)
 
interesting signing !!,gives a bit of competition/cover at left back and centre back.
A bit strange tho as we let go Bateson,Smyth and Owens,who could also play in a couple of positions.
Wish the lad all the best,and hope he doesnt turn out like that 6-3 kid from Everton last year:)
 
Reading the interview on the official site, I like what he has to say. He sounds like he has the right attitude and could be another successful signing, along the lines of Tom Lees. Obviously he'll have a lot to learn, but hopefully everyone will benefit from this move.
 
Just seen this on BBC's tranfer deadline day ticker :-

1115: THE INSIDER

Down in League Two, Accrington Stanley chief executive Rob Heys tells BBC Sport's Paul Plunkett: "It's going to be a very quiet day. I've told the manager to turn off his phone because he's got enough players. I don't expect any movement … unless Fernando Torres becomes available."
 
That list also still includes Jamie Speare and Mark King!!! Hmmmm just a touch out of date me thinks!
 
Bit more from our Rob:

Accrington Stanley chief executive Rob Heys tells BBC Sport's Paul Plunkett that one or two of their players might be available: "Sale - Looking to grab a bargain? We're prepared to accept £1m for any two of our players* Sale ends 11pm tonight. *selected players only."

Timed at 2047
 
According to the Telegraph, Tom's been included in the Wales U19 squad for 'their trip to Slovenia later this month'.

A little bit of research would have told them that it's for UEFA U19 qualifying matches against Belgium, Scotland and Slovenia. Dates are here: Under-19 - Matches ? UEFA.com
