Yes , but you have to pick up his food bill :hehetable:hehetable

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Looking around the leagues there is a surplus of good players available. Would they come to Accrington I am not so sure. We need to be signing players from at least league one just show ambition if nothing else. Last season was cruel but we all have our ideas and opinions on that but it is history. I am somewhat bewildered at the loss of two goalkeepers along with some good players through the centre. I am worried that if Piero goes a lot of fans will follow. The club need to start signing quality and quickly as we will only have the choice of whats left. There are far to many rumours flying about to be doing the club any good. We have a man who has invested in the club and is a supporter, we have heard rumours about JC&JB going off to Port Vale or Oldham or even Timbuck two. We have not had any denials from the club or personnel involved. We need some positive news quickly.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

I agree that some positive news would be good but the club can only do that when there's something to tell, empty half promises would be worse than no news I think. Rumours will always abound about players &/or managers moving on especially when a club have had a great a season as we've just had.
And while most of us would be gutted if we lost Piero, me included - i don't think any real fans would stop supporting Stanley because of it, players come & go but no matter how good they may be no one player is bigger than the club

probably all on holiday chaps

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Quite right Lemur.

Coley never does any business at this time because he has no money to do so. This year is no different (and neither should it be). All players, ours and other clubs will be keeping their cards close to their chests in order to get the best deals they can. Clubs offering deals out now must have the money to just offer what the player has asked for.

In the past Coley has given the squad a week or so to make up their minds, but if Buxton, Piero, Winnard or Davies decide to sign on the 30th of June, would he turn them down on principle? Only if he has already got a better iron in the fire :-)

why wouldn,t players come to Stanley especially a younger player like tom davies who,s career the club put back on its tracks. looking at players who have done the same and have gone on to bigger and better. at the same period last season we didn,t have a goalkeeper so why the panic. its the usual silly season when rumours are rife and only hope that we don,t loose half the team as 2010/11 proved.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

To be honest, i think stanley is a great place to come for a lad,who needs a bit of confidence after maybe a knockback elsewhere, for those lads its not about the dosh,at that stage imho.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Spot on Cashy,lads are normally released at 19 and normally they don't have kids and mortgages,but do have a lot to prove.
I like the route Matty took,got the game experience and then came again.
Coley got his recruitment spot on last season and will do again,100% certain

Re: Summer Signings!
 

ASFC Twitter confirms "Defender Mark Hughes has signed a one year deal with a one year option". Good stuff.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Can't help but think Coley going to Rochdale, Southport and more so Sligo has widened Coleys knowledge of potential signings, Plenty of decent players in the Irish league that are looking for a break over in England to get spotted!

Re: Summer Signings!
 

There's loads of decent players,but with experience comes higher wage expectations, Coley is aware of this and that's why he's been successful.
Think you have to be a certain type of player at Acci,we're work ethic is key,hence what Cashy said,hungry young lads mixed in with a bit of experience
