Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

I believe Shaun Tuck 25year old striker from Skemersdale is having trial with us. He won the Golden Boots last season, could be a gem.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Hope hes a step up from Super Macca Tommy?.:D

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Well if Tucks up to it, He seems to like it at Stanley, so fingers crossed on all counts.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Would love Hughes to stay :(

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

rory boulding i hear from the barrow forum was a trialist, though he was at hearts on trial

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

probably the same Tuck who was with us in 2004-05, made the first of his two substitute appearances away at Farnborough

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

yes he his rob his other appearance was against leigh rmi fac defeat also a sub, the farnborough game he was on the bench with cook.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

perhaps Cook was already tapping him up ...

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

he was young, came from college football big step up for him, scored 9 goals in 14 apps for the reserves in 2004/05.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Ian Craney is a triallist at Grimsby according to Bulls News.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Perhaps he will feel at home yon..........Wi the "Bulls"?:hehetable

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

God help them!

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

COD Help them!

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

haha!

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Aswad Thomas has just signed for Grimsby. If Craney signs the local fish and chip shop profits should rise.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

I was hoping Jon (Bateson) might get another trial at Stanley, but it doesn't seem likely now. He's currently training at the other end of the world!! With Ross County, just promoted to the Scottish Premier League. He's playing in a friendly for them against Raith Rovers tomorrow night.

Not sure if he'd sign for them even if offered a contract due to the distance from home. He's a Lancashire lad and likes his home comforts. Good opportunity though.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

What a shame. I would love to have seen him back at the Crown. Still, if he goes up north he could get better weather than us - not sure where Ross is exactly, but the Scots in the far north west have had a scorcher of a summer so far!

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Now that's a long journey to watch him Al !!!.Dean played in Scotland before he came to Acci,and I am glad he didn't stay !,
Hope he gets fixed up down here as he is a talented lad and still only 22!!!
May see you at Acci this season--there's a revolution happening !!,free flowing attacking footy, a few 7-4 games guaranteed ---ps,give agent Westley a break,he's doing a fine job and relegation is the minimum we wiganers are hoping for LOL

:) Hope Brian signes his Stanley contract extention :) Bryan Hughes ? what?snext? - Football Blogs, Have Your Own Football Blog - FootballFriendsonline.com :confused:
His Accrington colleagues from last season have already gone back to pre-season training, but whilst Hughes’ future is up in the air, he has had to make other arrangements: “At the moment I’m training with my old side Hull, whilst I try to sharpen my fitness up.”
There is an offer for a contract extension on the table but until everything is sorted out he will have to continue to train away from the club.:( come on Stanley get it sorted

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Seems Witton Albion had a offer accepted!! Before Stanley offered 25yr old Tuck a Trial Lawson calls for honesty from Accrington over possible Tuck transfer - Skelmersdale Advertiser

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

sod Bryan Hughes!

This interview was arranged by Hughes’ representative Simon Dent of After Dinner Sports Speakers - Rugby Dinners - Football Dinner Speakers (ROAR Global Sports Limited).

the whole article is nothing but a "somebody else please come and get me" piece. Barnett hasn't signed a contract (as yet?) but nobody has told him he can't come and train with us.

"I'd love to go to Bradford"
"I'd love to go to Rotherham"

shut the door on your way out please

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

That's the way that I read that article as well.

Thanks for a great few months Bryan when you were injury-free, but I'd rather pay to watch some young lads really committed to Stanley and trying to make a career for themselves.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

I think Hughes was a real asset, when fit, but it's clear from the article that Dent is his pimp. So what does that make Hughes? Sad state of affairs. What's the next marketing ploy - Hughes on Ebay?

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Doesn't he live over on or near the East Coast?

Might explain his apparent affinity with West/South Yorkshire clubs.

I still hope he comes back; he was (is) class

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

he came over with devitt & picked hatfield up on the way apparently

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

What does the article say Macca, cannot see anything from your link???? :)

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Anyone heard owt regarding Tuck,Rundle, @ Wilkinson yet?:)

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Razor played and scored for Rochdale last night,defo have him back if he's fit and his heads right,quality player when on his game

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Pie sales at Rochdale should go through the roof,Putterill & Craney !!!

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Craney is close to joining Grimsby Fourth official.

Razor would be a great signing for anybody in this division if he can get his head right.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

edited, already posted

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Certainly has the ability, Temperament wise forget him. Seems funny he played last night fer the people he was sulking about.?:confused:

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Would have Putterill back,fit and raring to go,he destroyed Oldham.

Thought Craney played for Rochdale last night,perhaps he was working on his match fitnes !!:rolleyes:

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

He destroyed many teams in those first 10 games of that season, but after his ban he was unlucky as we had a winning side and struggled for fitness.

Plus he was crackers !!

Great talent when fit though, agreed.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

had he not got the ban, and had he carried on in the same vein I adamant he would have become our greatest ever player. He had bags more ability than Jimmy Ryan

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

That i can agree wi.;)

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Crackers ? I was talking to him at the pre-season game v Blackpool a couple of years ago here in Devon. I looked into his eyes and they were wild. The only was I can describe them is.......

Have you ever seen a demented dog's eyes when it is chasing it's own tail ? :eek:

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

According to our beloved Me-dja, Stanley can't afford to match salaries of the Evo-Stick league.
NewsNow: Accrington Stanley News | Every Source, Every Five Minutes, 24/7

Alternatively, it's financial reality that some players and their parasitical agents need to wise up to. Its the same reality that all 'small' clubs, like Glasgow Rangers, are experiencing.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Astonishing if true.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Stunned.:eek:

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

"Shaun was a player a player we have had a look at but Skelmersdale have had an offer from another club and therefore it is difficult for us to get involved"

Cook in the Observer this week.


sounds fair enough to me.

"As for us, well Shaun will come back to training this week, and we will welcome him back with open arms" Chairman at Skem.

we welcome him back? so have they or have they not had an offer from "someone else"? sounds a bit like mischief making. All down to Tuck I reckon, surely Skem aren't full time and he could maybe force their hand if he really wanted to

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Nothing you can really say if that is true:(

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

i think mr cook is saving his wage money for a goalkeeper, and a proven league goalscorer, thats my view,

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Keeper,centre back ,centre mid and centre forward then the teams spine would be cookys players- that's how I would go if we had the money !!!

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

More to that than we've been given. Why trial him if we know we can't afford him? Don't accept we couldn't offer him enough if we really wanted him ......... Not money .......something else .............. Outbid by Witton Albion / Skem? No chance!

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Agreed with DIV3North.......... 100%

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Makes two of us 100%.;)

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Presume cooky has other lads in mind,and thinks acci weren't getting value for money considering the risks involved,ie unproven at this level.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

still reckon we will have a fair few loan players this season

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Trying to get Liddle back

Cook hoping for a Liddle bit of luck | Accrington Observer - menmedia.co.uk

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Would like to see Liddle back.

Had a shaky start but grew into the club :)

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Barnetts heart sure aint in the club,fer me think best to get shut,simple as.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

I like Charlie, but he does seem to be dragging his heels.

Do we really need him????

:S

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Not if he's dragging his heels. Think of the damage he'd do to that newly laid pitch. I had hopes for Barnett in the post-Ryan era, but he didn't really fulfill them. Let him go if he's not committed.

Agree that Liddle improved and he was one of few players who could tackle and get the ball off opponents. In the absence of Proctor (barging into the opposition to achieve the same end), Liddle would be useful.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

I thought Liddle was great in Defensive Midfield, but by the sounds of it if we get him he will slot in at Left back.

All we need now are 4 strikers and a keeper :D

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Reckon thats nailed it!. The more i think about this,its obvious to me, He will only sign if nowt better comes along! Whilst i have nowt against a player wanting to better himself, First the player has to prove he deserves it.n to my mind he certainly aint done that. If twas down to me, i would get shut.!!

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Would like Liddle back; thought he was exceptional in midfield at the back end of the season.

I'm really doubting if Charlie or Bryan are coming back, which is a shame, but their choice :o. A fit Danny Coid would be good. :D

10 trialists? Who are the other 8? :confused::confused::confused:

And Smudgie - it's four 20 goal-a-season strikers ..........:p

Innit .............

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

I suppose we will see the other 8 trailists for the first time on Saturday, gutted I cant make the Bootle game.

Though I will be at Marine on Monday :)

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Might as well take your boots, just in case.;)

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

.
Ha ha! I remember asking Charlie if he was going to re-sign at the Morecambe pre-season game this time last year, and though he said he would, it was apparent he was stalling again. Although I like Charlie as a player, his attitude does go against the grain bearing in mind Cookie's stated wish, almost a demand, for the squad to take up offers weeks ago.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Wouldn't bank on it, pitch inspection at 10.30am

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Look forward to Liddle joining the ranks. Good player with bags of potential!! :) :)

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Marine it is :D:D:D:D

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

To come back to Charlie Barnett, maybe the time has come (or is overdue!) to tell him that the offer of a contract is withdrawn. Let's face it, midfield is one area where we can afford to be selective!

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Liddle is a cracking prospect, great engine not so sure about left back but he also seems very adept for me if we can get him is's a no brainer.

Still think that a proven Goalscorer or at the very least a Striker with some League Experience is absolutely essential even if it is loan deal, I am sure the management are working hard to bring somebody in for that role.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Game at Bootle on see fishy site

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

:) Bootle friendly team
Stanley: Dawber, Hatch (Lindfield), Eckersley *T*, Winnard (Nsiala), Stockdale (Rundle *T*), Taylor *T* (Appleton ex-Tranmere youngster *T*), Holt Ex-Wigan *T* (Miller), Bridge-Wilkinson *T* (Dixon), Chippendale former Huddersfield *T* (Trialist *T*), Gray former Middlesbrough front man *T* (Clark), Trialist (Oliver *T*)
*T* denotes player on trial....... :) Some experienced league players on trial,wingers strikers,boulds well me thinks:)

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

:)Checking out the the rivails yesterdays bootle game!! guess who:) https://p.twimg.com/AxxYIiICIAEnzMf.jpg:large

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Reckon he should concentrate on his own Stanley team and not ours.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Perhaps going to view more games than he could be bothered at Stanley.:rolleyes:

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Looks like Charlie's finally found his pen - on fishy site now that he's signed a 1 year deal :)

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Well at least hes "NOW" making the right noises.:rolleyes:

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Were looking very strong in midfield now me thinks we need at least a goalie and someone who can score some goals

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

General view is at least 20 a season ............Need four of those, please :D

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

i take it coleman did'nt come in for him

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

I'd have to say the squad is taking shape nicely, just lacking another keeper,another couple of defenders and maybe three forwards to set us up nicely for the new season.

I like the fact that Cooky is going after young lads keen to prove themselves, but a couple of "older heads" in each department would for me be a great big plus. As F19 says, experience down the spine of the team!!:o

For that I'd hope Coidy can prove his fitness & get a deal, the Hughes situation is going stale ( and frankly after reading the comments Hughes has made recently, I think he's a non starter). An experienced striker (or two) up top for the younger lads to play off would be a great asset.:)

Interesting that, as yet, No players from the Emerald Isle??? And has anybody got the latest on Podge???:confused:

All in all, I'm beginning to think we might see a promising season and I'm really looking forward to it. Sign a few more players (hopefully experienced players) in those key positions & I might be tempted to hunt out a bookie offering silly odds!!!:D

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Currently in Portugal for pre-season training. Not sure if I read they have a new manager over there so it could be a case of wait and see.

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

Might be worth a look

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

62 games in 5 seasons, better off left alone

Re: Accrington Stanley Squad
 

some interesting points carpon, the irish season only finishes end of october,and they are in europe,so convincing players to come and ply there trade in league two may be difficult.
They have some good players so how does the loan system work with irish clubs-out of season .
Can we afford to wait until november,interesting,as i like the look of the lad Peers
