craney toddles back again
 

Hmmm not so sure myself but will reserve judgement till I see him play a few games

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Re: craney toddles back again
 

He seems eager to play in the Football League, and there's no doubt that he has the ability to succeed at this level. Hopefully we'll see the best of him rather than the shadow that was here before his move to Huddersfield.

Re: craney toddles back again
 

This seems a bizzare move to me, we have an abundance of midfielders

What sort of signal does this send out to the one's waiting in the wings?:rolleyes:

I hope it works out but I would have been far more happier with a proven striker

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Well ill never pre-judge a player again, but cant really see the thinking behind this 1 either???

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Think about the january transfer window and who we could lose and it'll become a bit clearer to you!! This is budget cover in preparation for a january loan extension for him I think, but the loan would depend on other players moving on I should imagine :(

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Acording to the BBC, craney has signed for Oldham

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Aye looks like we're losing Ryan in Jan :(

Gutted Craney is back to be honest.

Re: craney toddles back again
 

No point having ambition if the bills have to be paid, and it's not as if there is a massive fan of the club who wants to invest in it is there ? :rolleyes:

Re: craney toddles back again
 

:confused: Totally agree Google Page Ranking!! Aproven goal scorer would have been top of my list:)

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Thats why i welcome this loan, fer me a 100% craney is better n most of our lads, if not 100% then return to sender as elvis would have said.;) plus am thinkin probably a few of the lads are carrying knocks n if so n opportunity fer em to recover.

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Im just hoping Jimmy stays till at least the end of the season :(

Re: craney toddles back again
 

would be surprised n disappointed if he didn't, but if someone offers silly money in the window.:eek:

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Todays signings are not the way forward - in my opinion!! We have more defenders and midfielders than we need, yet we have not got enough up top!!

As many have said already, it looks like we are going to be losing some of our "Gems" soon - which was not the case this time last season???

Hope that I am so, so wrong, but I do not like the feel of all this.....

Roll on round3.....;)

Re: craney toddles back again
 

just get jimmy on a 2 year deal . he could go for free in the summer. just do it

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Agreed 100%.

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Each to their own but....

Welcome Back To A Legend!!!

Lets hope he adorns the Globe Arena with another "cracker at Morecambe Bay" like at Christie Park....a goal which is etched on my mind forever!!

If we can get the best outta him then he's one hell of a player, at least League 1 standard.

With Jacobsen and Craney....things are looking up.


The Messiah does it again!!! :)

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Love that quote chipmunk!

Re: craney toddles back again
 

3pts morecombe

Re: craney toddles back again
 

The things with Legends is that on occassions you are sometimes better with the memories of that staus?

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Thats as may well be....though life is much happier with the glass half full.

I am genuinely enthused by these two captures!! As far as Im concerned it's a good day to be a Stanley fan.

Youuuuu Arrreee Myyyyy Crannnneeyyyyy
My Ian Craney
You Scored A Cracker
At Morecambe Bay

You Chose The Stanley
Over The Alty
Please Dont Take My Craney Awayyyyy :)

Re: craney toddles back again
 

whilst craney is an undoubted legend coming through the conference he was pretty pants when he came back on loan and it all eeks of uncomprehension and worry with our young stars who have undoubted talent as to what their role is likely to be in the forthcoming weeks. Plus also wasn't craney on a supposed £1.5k a week at Fleetwwood. Would love to know the sentiment behind this one, cos we certaintly are not going to be paying that!

Re: craney toddles back again
 

can't really see that nige £1.5 K was probably there squads wages.:D

Re: craney toddles back again
 

cashy it was certainly purported on here along with fleetwood's other signings lest they remain nameless that they were on a significantly amount more than our lads. Are they not in competition with Crawley as to who can crash and burn first!
But tis good to have him back if we can see 'conference craney' actually saw a clip of their FA Cup game and he looked outstanding..........who bloody knows!

Re: craney toddles back again
 

hes more hit then miss so lets hope happy time untill 3 jan the jimmy gone to villa and ian back to fleetwood . but villa are up on the coast villa from west lancs league . lol

Re: craney toddles back again
 

I,m looking forward to seeing if hes up fer it again, cos he sure was not just before his move from stanley, thats why i'm pleased its a loan, gotta prove himself again, if he does we got a good un. imho.;)

Re: craney toddles back again
 

on a further positive note i can wear my craney shirt again. Thankfully got a new washing machine last week to wash away the mothballs

Re: craney toddles back again
 

I suspect there might be a few less than impressed Stanley "squad" players who may now find they don't even get on the bench. I'm not convinced that will help in the long run. None of the players who have played this season have let anybody down but some seem to be getting pushed aside to put other clubs players in the shop window. In my view, the squad is now too big and that can only cause disharmony. Stanley's success has always been founded on team spirit, lose that and lose everything.

Re: craney toddles back again
 

I trust Coley n think his aim is to improve the squad, seems you don't larry?:confused:

Re: craney toddles back again
 

All I will say on this matter is to wish both Ian and Joe well for the coming few weeks and hope we can keep our star players in January.

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Spot on Larry. Owens, Bateson, Murphy and Turner for instance. The thing is with Craney that he always seems to impress initially with his new clubs, then fizzle out. Who could forget his second debut with us away at Bury that night when he was like a man possessed. It wasn't long before he just wasn't looking interested. Coley needs to get inside his head.

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Hes obviously gone there for the money and realised that the football there is clearly not as good as the football league! Craney was always a football man until bigger things hit him and bigger wages took over his life! But he probably wants to be back playing league football no matter if he was earning that amount of money there. He was getting into the first team every game and there also on the up so its clearly not because of money.

Great signing in my opinion, great footballer.

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Get real, Fleetwood are throwing money at their team this season and would appear to be doing ok. So how come they allow a player who is probably on more money than anyone at Accy and who as played most of their games go out on loan. Oh I forgot its nearly Christmas. The type of money he as earned since leaving us the first time is difficult to walk away from. The reason for him signing is not as clear cut as you think, not that I know the reason but it is not a yearning to return to the Football League. Ian's bestt fottball was played when we had Branna & Jags this allowed him freedom.

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Craney hadn't played or even been on the bench in their last four games - the last time that he played was in the first FA Cup match against Walsall.

I couldn't find any reports on him being injured, so I presume that there was a falling out with the manager and/or he suddenly found himself out of favour.

Re: craney toddles back again
 

craney toddles back again

This should read Craney trundles back again. All we need now is Ade Akinfenwa up front.

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Brilliant news

We missed him the 2nd time he left despite alot oF the users on here disagreeing with me

He is quality, a Craney and Ryan centre mid will be special. Proctor deserves to be dropped, he has had a poor season thus far.

And give Craig Lindfield a run up front.

Re: craney toddles back again
 

He will get a run in the first team, but not for us!

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Re: craney toddles back again
 

BBC Sports News;

"Transfers - November 2010

The transfer window is now closed for permanent and loan signings, and will reopen on 1 January.

26 November

Craig Lindfield [Accrington - Kidderminster] Loan

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

25 November

Ian Craney [Fleetwood - Oldham] Loan"

So there! :confused:

Re: craney toddles back again
 

what do ya expect off the beeb? :rolleyes:

Re: craney toddles back again
 

bit confused cashy is craney with us or not

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Yes.

Definitely! ;)

Re: craney toddles back again
 

????? craney nonl league accy for me not the one that went to city

Re: craney toddles back again
 

According to Fleetwood manager in the Non-League paper. Craney has had an injury and whilst he has been out their midfield has been doing well, so he has sent Craney out on loan to re-gain his fitness.

Re: craney toddles back again
 

fleetwood have a 24 hour call back on ian

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Re: craney toddles back again
 

jimmy ryan it says in tonights L.E.T. will definitely stay until end of season.

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Odd in deed RR!!We need a fully fit Ian Craney :)

Re: craney toddles back again
 

So can we exspect jimmy moving in jan transfer window then cashy:rolleyes::)

Re: craney toddles back again
 

well they were quoting jimmy, so hes happy to stay fer now?

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Lets hope so. Although I'm sure most Stanley fans wouldn't begrudge him the chance to play at an higher level.

Re: craney toddles back again
 

There aint n higher level.:D

Re: craney toddles back again
 

it said on fleetwood web tv bit on ian when fit he will come back to town if called on 24 hours same with lad they sent to alty

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Can he then walk away for free?

Re: craney toddles back again
 

the same Telegraph article says that he hasn't signed any contract because he hasn't offered one yet? Signs of Grant and Symes (and almost Coleman) all over again. Give him the money now (send the loan players back to free up the cash) and we would hopefully recoup it tenfold in a transfer fee. The club don't seem to give a damn because they know they'll get Bosman money for him anyway. What do we want, 100k or 400k?

Re: craney toddles back again
 

My immediate thought when I read about Craney was that Jimmy Ryan's on his way elsewhere.
I hope not but.....Whalley and O'Neill cling on, Ultras' flags and Jason banned, out of the Cup and miss a tie at Burnley....time's are hard.

Re: craney toddles back again
 

pappers says whalley gone down under for england hope he not coming back

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Maybe.......

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Maybe indeed ...

"Players out... Wayne Curtis goes to Barrow for the rest of the season whilst Ian Crainey leaves the club by mutual consent ... more soon"

Re: craney toddles back again
 

Just waiting for the notification then, No surprise but he didnt impress me in his latter games and IMHO was no better then what we got. Should make use of Putterill now we have have him till end of season and save on the wages.

Re: craney toddles back again
 

And again for 18 month
