Summer Signings!
 

Although our season isn't over yet, Seen as a few players have been released by other clubs, Anyone you'd fancy At The Wham Stadium?

I've just seen Grant Holt has been released by Rochdale...

Re: Summer Signings!
 

I reckon we'd benefit from focusing the majority of our recruitment in midfield. If we can keep the majority of our defence we'd be fine and have decent strikers (though more would never hurt). I think we should be looking for centre-mids, attacking-mids and wingers personally with who we're due, and who we're likely to lose.

The beasts out of contract in summer

Re: Summer Signings!
 

If you mean the goalkeeper he's not, signed for another year

Re: Summer Signings!
 

jimmy spencer has yet to agree terms with Cambridge

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Get this season out the way eh, jesus!

Re: Summer Signings!

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Ian dunbavin is available on a free transfer

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Thats not a big shock.:D

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Never mind Bavs! Get Jamie Speare back in the net:egged:s!

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Apparently Bertrand Bossu would like a crack at League 1:D

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Football league rules stipulates that all club's have to submit their retained list,s before Saturday the 21st of May does this include the team's involved in the playoffs or are they allowed more time.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

no point in talking about prospective summer signings just yet as we don,t know what division we,ll be in yet. coleys retained list I,m sure will be different if we do go up. its been quiet as of late in people re signing for next year so has he got who he wants regarding of where we will be.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

The return of a certain Mr Ryan maybe

Re: Summer Signings!
 

How about Andy Mangan?

Re: Summer Signings!
 

I'm just hoping we keep hold of the lads we've got!

Re: Summer Signings!
 

exactly, we will keep more than we usually manage i reckon and thats when we should bother about who comes imho

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Ibrahimovich is leaving PSG ..............................

"I arrived as a king, and I'm leaving as a legend" was apparently his 'take' on himself. Nice to see a truly modest man ...........................

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Hes a head like Humpty Dumpty, but can play a bit.;)

Re: Summer Signings!
 

I fully agree with you Monkey Hanger. No prospect of who will sign contracts until our 'Season' is finally over.
My worry is that if we don't get the promotion that we deserve then we will lose a few players! On the other hand if we do finally win promotion then I think our 'retained ' list will be somewhat healthier.:idunno:
Whatever happens in the next 2 or 3 weeks, John and Jimmy will have to build a new team as they have done every summer. This year we will 99.9% certain lose some excellent loan players such as Hetheridge, Fosu, and Halliday. One or two may also retire.....Procky, possibly to go into the world of Physiotherapy....... Hughes is our elder statesman and has done really well for us but who knows if he will be signed on again? That's five players which is nearly half a team!
Next season still seems along way off yet to me with the pending Play Off matches our main focus.
Let's just hope that we can achieve the impossible and win PROMOTION.:theband:
ON STANLEY ON:wave8:

Re: Summer Signings!
 

What ever happens, its been a highly successful season.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Thought Ross Etheridge is one of our own players, not a loanee?

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Thats beyond dispute unless yer a complete cretin!!:D

Re: Summer Signings!
 

I understand that he was on loan, stretched to a full season loan, from Derby County.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

No, just double checked - Ross was released by Derby in summer 2015 & signed a 1 yr deal with Stanley so we could lose him if he doesn't sign up again

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Matt Gould, GK,has been on loan to Stourbridge and been bloody good by all accounts. He was/is under contract with Livingston till end of this season. Young and very keen.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

OK, I hope that we can sign him up again then.:jimbo:

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Andy little being released by preston

Re: Summer Signings!
 

not surprised hes been released hes only played five game this season

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Well he aint even managed to get on the bench wi us, so hardly a shock Preston have released?

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Well we now know which league we are in be interesting to see who Coleman offers contracts to he said in his post match interview last night players have been offered but he might lose 2 or 3, I think a few might be released as well and a couple more youngsters given their first pro-contracts personally would love to see a big forward to play alongside Billy because that,s one option we haven't had somebody to bully opposition defenses missing footy already can,t wait for preseason and a day out at Blackpool.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Who I'd offer deals to for next season...

Etheridge - Offer Contract
Mooney - Release

Pearson - Already Signed
Davies - Offer Contract
Winnard - Offer Contract
Buxo - Offer Contract
Hughes - Offer Contract
Wakefield - Release

Piero - Offer Contract
McCartan - Offer Contract
Rommy - Release
Sean Mc - Already Signed
Conneely - Already Signed
Brown - Offer Contract
Barry - Release
Proctor - Release
Shaw - Offer Contract

Billy - Already Signed
Terry - Offer Contract
Carver - Release

Think that's everyone...

Not sure who the 2/3 Coley is referring to who haven't signed deals but my guess would be Piero, Tom Davies Shay McCartan!

Re: Summer Signings!
 

They were my guesses too.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

100% cert Mingoia is in there, as for other 2, no idea !

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Educated guess that one is almost certainly Tom Davies

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Piero looking to move nearer his girlfriend in London is what I have heard. Makes sense when you consider we signed after release by Watford. Big loss IMHO. Move the lass up to Lancashire Piero, Stanley need YOU.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Message to Pierro....

We all love you Pierro....
Please don't leave us.....
If your girlfriend is as nice as you....
Then bring her up here and we'll love her and she'll love us too!:love:

With respect to Pierro, he was released by Watford and initially with us he didn't seem to have 'The Fire' in his belly until Coley used his unparalleled 'Inspirational Qualities' to get the lad to have BELIEF in himself! Pierro will not find another manager anywhere who can do this as well as Coley does. It is what Coley does best! He takes players who have often been 'cast adrift' either as 19 or 20 year olds or as older players and he 'Turns Careers Around'!
Pierro has the chance to become a 'True Stanley Legend' by giving us a few more years of his infectious, enthusiastic and skilful play!:theband:
ps Pierro's goal the other night was 'MY GOAL OF THE SEASON'! WHAT A STUNNER!:alright:
STAY PIERRO STAY!:notworthy

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Totally endorse the sentiments above about Pierro; best news of the summer would be to hear that he's staying at Stanley. He's been a committed member of the squad for a few years and has always acted in a professional manner.

His dad and family have also been great fans of the club at many games.

I can't imagine there won't offers made, but he's had the decency not to go sniffing them out before the end of the season (unlike some) and to see out his current contract with Stanley before having to think about his future.

Given his loyal service no-one should begrudge him if he decides to move on and, although we'd all miss him, he will remain forever a Stanley legend and fans' favourite.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Amen Exile

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Two sign pro deals ? Accrington Stanley FC

Heard some good things about Webb, Always good news when youth teamers get a pro sea, Hope they come good!

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Thats a bit of good news anyway.:)

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Retained list has to be in tomorow so learn more then

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Sat in close season? doubt very much if we will know owt tomorrow.:D next week probably.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Jose Baxter a free agent had a few problems lately from Liverpool excellent talent wonder if John and Jimmy could work their magic with him?

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Can't think about next season yet - still shattered from all the excitement, highs & lows from this one! But, as Simon Cowell would say, that'd be a no from me - heard bad things about that lad's attitude, don't need any bad apples.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

He's the guy who glassed Josh in Ireland I think

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Yep, I'd heard that as well

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Yeh bad news always travels fast.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

cashy this supposedly happened last summer

Re: Summer Signings!
 

True but no-one was saying sign him then.;)

Recently failed an out-of-competition drug test. No ta.

Would take super Peter Murphy back in a heartbeat however. If he can get healthy and back to form it would go some way to replace Crooks. That's not to say anything against Scott Brown; Scott has been a brilliant addition and deserves a crack at the first team next year.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Retain lists on BBC site, interesting players being released from clubs, no Accrington on yet

Released players: Clubs announce summer 2016 retained lists - BBC Sport Scroll down for the teams

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Peter is our captain and he's staying here :alright::alright::alright:

Well he's contracted for a year, but we know he's ambitious. He may want to move to a team going somewhere.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

And he might want to weigh up the risks of staying, health wise - look at the injuries he's had since he signed, Morecambe's not been the luckiest place for Murph, :rolleyes: Just a thought!

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Exactly.....and that's the reason he's staying......anything higher than this season will be an achievement....:alright:

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Dan Jewell has just tweeted that the provisional retained list should be out later today or tomorrow morning!

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Bit of a surprise to see Mooney leave, but no surprise with the other 3. Good luck lads.

What's more surprising to me is that the likes of Carver, Barry and Proccy have been offered deals.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

not much of a shock those 4, wish em well, we aint got very many under contract though, thats a bit of a worry, outa a good squad.:eek:

Re: Summer Signings!
 

What is even more surprising is to see the likes of Matt Crooks and Josh Windass on the retained (players under 24 offered contracts) list. We all know they are off to Glasgow Rangers this summer. As for Proccy, I suspect he will sign on to assist Mike Newell with the first team coaching. Noticed last few matches he was running the warm up for the team. I have heard that Marcus Carver is off to pastures new as well. Before anyone asks, I don't know where, just told he was leaving the club. Feel sorry for 2 lads who signed deals after being with our youth side. What does that say to the kids signing on this year?:confused:

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Hoping Coley can get a Elliot/Bettinelli type season long loan keeper with Ross as back up!

Suprised about Carver and Proc, Barry isn't our best midfielder but don't think he's a bad backup.

Haven't we offered Crooks and Windass deals just so we get some compensation or does that not count if they're out of contract?

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Not really surprised at the four leaving, I heard a while back that Jason's going home to get married so kinda thought he'd be leaving regardless of if he was no. 2 goalie or not - best of luck to all four & let's hope that most of those who've been offered contracts stick around.
Agree with Ozzy about Proccy, some sort of coaching role would be ideal for him - don't want to lose his experience & influence

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Dan jewell tweets atleast 4 have accepted new contracts in principle

Re: Summer Signings!
 

The retained list isn't players who are staying, just ones you have made an offer to stay at least as good as their last one. It is needed to get compo.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

That you have to be good and give 100%??

plenty of players have made it into the first team under Coleman, if you want to get into the first team of a club who finished 4th, you need to raise your game.



Crooks and Windass had to be offered deals to secure compensation.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Crooks and Windass got offered new contracts in early last season but got told not to except them by you know who :(

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Mab,
Dean windass was only looking after the best interest of his son, I would have done the same if Rangers wanted to sign my son.

I doubt Dean Windass advised Matt Crooks.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

I understand Marcus Carver has already left Stanley .Felt for that lad got a winning goal and puts us through to the second round od the FA cup last season , then gets dropped . I can't remember him being in the starting line since.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

I cant understand why Carver was offered any sort of deal. He hasnt had a look in for years under any of our previous managers and is obviously not going to make it, with us anyway. No point offering any deal even if its only £50 a week

Re: Summer Signings!
 

He's under 24:rolleyes:

Re: Summer Signings!
 

They both have the same agent!!,who to be fair has got them a great detail (but not for Acci !!)

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Aye, F19, any agent will tell you the deal is all about the 'detail', especially their cut.;)

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Do I remember rightly that its Danny Webber?

Saw him at the last home game.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Don't know about that exile, think he would have more out of Rooney than our two :)

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Not Danny Webber anymore, Uses the same agent that Rooney uses I believe!

Re: Summer Signings!
 

:eek: I didn't mention names DAV007 !! All I said was you know who and you seemed to know who ;):)

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Etheridge signed for Doncaster

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Was just posting the same Dave. Massively disappointed.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Shame needed to work a bit on his distribution, but a damn good keeper.:(

Re: Summer Signings!
 

At least we'll get compo for him - and probably more than he's actually worth

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Agree, Cashy, he was a big part of Stanley's good season.
So, once again, Stanley need to begin again with no established keeper (and no, Davo, we don't need to know that Dunbavin is available).

Personally I'd would rather have seen Mr.Mooney at least offered a contract ahead of some others.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

2 keepers to none in a week then. Presumably Etheridge's move a surprise or we wouldn't have released Mooney? :rolleyes:

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Not sure why Mooney being released would affect Etheridges contract!

Atleast Etheridge has signed early on and not last minute and not left us enough time to find a replacement!

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Yep but thats not the reason, hes been made n offer is the reason. lucky for us its early.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Dan Jewell reporting that ASFC found out he signed for them on Twitter, which if true isn't good at all! Surely the club and certainly coley deserve more respect than that!

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Ross was a great pro,never complained and took his chance when it came.
Couldn't split them at the start of the season,but he certainly finished the better keeper

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Oh, poo sticks :(

Not a very mature reaction I know but it's a bit like having salt rubbed in a still open wound when the players start leaving - hope it's not 2011 all over again -not a happy bunny!

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Iain dunbavin is available

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Really hope that wasn't the case - not the way to part company with your club :(

Re: Summer Signings!
 

is this a new keeper we have never heard of Iain ?

Re: Summer Signings!
 

How strange!! he aint been snapped up yet.:rolleyes:

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Ian is a builder now!! Mind you he could brick the goals up for us ;)

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Joking apart, could be a major blow as he was getting better.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Who Iain or Ian Mab

Re: Summer Signings!
 

The world loves a trier. . . . . . . . . . . :rolleyes:

Re: Summer Signings!
 

No of course it wouldn't, but if we had known / suspected Etheridge was going we might well have offered Mooney something instead of releasing him and leaving us scratching around for a new keeper.

Re: Summer Signings!
 

Never filled me with confidence, always looked like a mistake waiting to happen, I will fall short of saying good riddance, but I am sure we wont miss him, more concerned about losing Davis, Buxton and Ming
