Re: January transfer window.
 

From the man who said Charman was staying ?
What’s the response to Cashy’s post ?
Great news about the arrivals. Hope there’s a centre forward in there.

Re: January transfer window.
 

Ripley in talks with PNE according to Mr Holt on twitter................... Worrying !

Re: January transfer window.
 

was not on the bench last night so unless injured something is going on. out of the 3 in then 1 will be a keeper, the other a replacement for the rotherham lad and the third a left back. doubt we,ll see an experianced new player upfront.

Re: January transfer window.
 

Im assuming Maxted was always going to start last night regardless of the Ripley situation..... But fingers crossed for another keeper !

Re: January transfer window.
 

That's a major blow if Ripley leaves.


Again you have to feel sorry for Coley because I think he chased him a long time.


That's the loan market problem though you're always beholding to the parent club.


Three weeks for John to weave his magic.

Re: January transfer window.
 

Cashy's post worries me even more as well now because if it wasn't Ripley he was alluding to .......

Re: January transfer window.
 

No I've heard an unconfirmed rumour that Preston are talking to Ripley and are about to make an offer for one off our players, who also didn't feature last night.....

Re: January transfer window.
 

On Preston's fans forum there's a rumour that they're interested in prising young Callum Johnson away from us :(

Re: January transfer window.
 

This window needs to come to a close sooner rather than later.
That would explain why he wasnt even on the bench.

Re: January transfer window.
 

I said may well leave, not defo would.28,all i know for sure is J.C. was told before the window, he wasn't happy with things. So it depends if offer comes in.

Re: January transfer window.
 

Hey ho, the window's only just opened ,28. So much for the idea that holding onto players is 'simples'

Re: January transfer window.
 

Ahh, the transfer window; another brilliant idea we owe, in part, to the EU.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transfer_window

I can't help but think it was invented to entertain and employ people who aren't really that interested in football itself but like the gossip, rumour, and talk about money that now engulfs the game.
It's bad enough that Stanley have to rebuild a squad every summer but twice a season is ridiculous.

Re: January transfer window.
 

He is under contract.

Unless any other club makes a bid that is acceptable to the club he's going nowhere.
Every player has a price - even Premiership stars - and if Preston or Wigan are prepared to pay that figure then its good business for everyone.
I stress business because he'll take some replacing in the next three weeks if true.
If we set the fee at say £2 mill and they take the bait that's their concern.
I would think that would be enough to put suitors off don't you ?
If not it's good business.

Re: January transfer window.
 

Dan Jewell on twitter saying Preston already had an offer for Callum turned down.

Re: January transfer window.
 

According to the Telegraph, Preston have put a bid of around 300,00 in for Callum & we've turned them down - let's hope they don't up the price enough to be seriously considered . . . . . .

Re: January transfer window.
 

As much as we don't want to lose any players, money does talk, and I think, if I am right, all monies to be re- invested in the new training ground, (haven't heard too much about that lately) and new changing rooms.

Re: January transfer window.
 

As other's have said, EVERY player in the world has a price.

If he is to go, then surely he is worth FAR more than £300k ?!

Re: January transfer window.
 

Well hes gotta be at least the price of Janoi or more i would say.:confused:

Re: January transfer window.
 

Heard that Johnson had turned down a new contract in the summer he's done well hence the intrest.

Re: January transfer window.
 

Still got 18 months left, so at least that is something...

Re: January transfer window.
 

Rippers gone now wish him well, just hope no-one else does.:eek:

Re: January transfer window.
 

That's a body blow Cashy.
Hopefully one of those due in before Saturday is a keeper.

Re: January transfer window.
 

Linked with Michael Crowe Preston.

Re: January transfer window.
 

To be honest i dont think theres much between Rippers @ Maxted. Dont think Rippers is Championship yet meself.?

Re: January transfer window.
 

Happy to be proven wrong mate but I think we need a first team stopper.

Re: January transfer window.
 

Unless significant change, the transfer windows are here as part and parcel of football. We also need to accept our place in the football pecking order and that we will be viewed as a supply source for ‘bigger’ clubs, however, our ‘take’ from the situation now is better than ever as we’ve been able to place players on longer contracts and can benefit from transfer fees if we decide that the business is good for us.

We should also look at this from a players’ perspective. Come to our club with it’s unique character, a manager and coaching staff that want to play passing football, a philosophy where if you’re good enough, you’ll play in the first team, if you do well, a club that won’t stand in the way of your progression - Connor Ripley had enough about him earlier to realise, had it not been for his spell with us, he wouldn’t be at Preston now - that’s great progress for him in just 4 1/2 months.

We got loads of selling points to players who want to further their careers and can now start to evidence a track record (Jackson, Donacien, Ripley) to attract the next batch in.

Re: January transfer window.
 

Cashy, will politely disagree with comment. For me, there’s clear daylight between them. Agree, Ripley a bit more to do consistency wise to be a Championship regular, however he’s going in right direction

Re: January transfer window.
 

No problem, i think Rippers was best of the two, But personally dont think theres a lot between em.

Re: January transfer window.
 

A player i would love Coley to sign would be...Jordan Clark, contract extension!

I think hes worth the most out of our current crop of players!

Re: January transfer window.
 

It's bad enough that Stanley have to rebuild a squad every summer but twice a season is ridiculous.[/QUOTE]

at the moment i think we are safe from relagation this season but there is going to be a time when having to rebuild bites us and even coley will not get his signings right as all managers don,t and then we could be in the brown stuff.

Re: January transfer window.
 

Agreed 100%

Re: January transfer window.
 

Given that Clark has had an offer for some months on an extended deal and nothing announced i sense he won't. To be fair and frank to the lad, i would not blame him.

Maybe reading too much into it, i sensed a few weeks ago Coley praising his quality was an acceptance and a prelude to this window ?

Re: January transfer window.
 

Agree about Clark, but after the second half display against Bury, please not as a defender :(

Re: January transfer window.
 

Tactically the weirdest move from Coley.
Could easily have moved Brown or Conneely there and brought on a midfielder. He's not a full back but does great work in front of his full back breaking up play.
If we're talking second half performance let's not beat about the bush - every one of them !
Clark is with us for another season unless the club decides otherwise - provided they take up the one year option which will be astonishing if they don't.

Re: January transfer window.
 

Who’d have JC’s job it must be soul destroying, if he manages to sign a decent player we lose them in the transfer windows, if we loan players who improve under his care their parent clubs recall them to use or sell, then has to search for bargains in the loan pool to replace players he’s lost and all the time knowing he will have the same problem after the next transfer window,

Re: January transfer window.
 

We got a left back from Newcastle on loan so that should help Welcome Liam.

Re: January transfer window.
 

I bet Big Ben and young Wood are delighted too !!! :hidewall:

Re: January transfer window.
 

I agree with just about all that you say - except this


I think that there are plenty of examples over recent years where good players have not had a reasonable opportunity. Strangely several of these have been involved in the left back position.

Re: January transfer window.
 

👍 I’ll edit my original sentence to clarify ‘....a philosophy where if the manager thinks you’re good enough.....’

Re: January transfer window.
 

Liam deserves loads of respect for his character in coping with multiple illnesses:
https://www.nufc.co.uk/news/features...-gibsons-story

Re: January transfer window.
 

Can only wish this lad from Stanley all the best with Stanley. What a story! Newcastle Utd come out of it with a great deal of respect too for the way the club stuck with him.

Re: January transfer window.
 

[QUOTE=accybeme;1222277 if we loan players who improve under his care their parent clubs recall them to use or sell,

do not mind a club recalling a player if they want to use them but its the recalling then selling em to someone else that certainly does. we put these players in the shop window and not the parent club.

Re: January transfer window.
 

Another one in, striker on loan from Middlesbrough - welcome aboard Luke Armstrong

Re: January transfer window.
 

A striker! Who scores goals! (well, he did when he was on loan at Gateshead (10 in 17))

Things are looking up again!

:theband::theband::theband:

Re: January transfer window.
 

Think he’s played against us in the checkatrade if memory serves right. Hope he’s has good as his old man was.

Re: January transfer window.
 

yes twenty eight alun armstong was a really top notch striker in his day. hope none gets him mixed up with the north east actor in new tricks.

Re: January transfer window.
 

These two are typical Coley signings - good players who are young and hungry. It's a good opportunity for them to progress, but hopefully Stanley will benefit in a big way too. Armstrong apparently was being tracked by a number of clubs, including Portsmouth, so it'll be interesting to see what he brings to the Stanley table.

Re: January transfer window.
 

Agree T.M. but the only kinda signings we can realistically make, hope very much they turn out right fer us.

Re: January transfer window.
 

After hearing of NWT's Dianne Oxberry's tragic passing this morning, reading Liam's extraordinary story has been an uplifting experience and provided a bit of much needed perspective at Red Darreners Acres

The very best of luck to you Liam! Hoping you enjoy yor stay at the Wham!
And best wishes to Luke Armstrong too.
Welcome both

Re: January transfer window.
 

ITKer on our forum saying Johnson very keen to make the move happen - https://www.pne-online.net/forum/for...87#post3421787

Re: January transfer window.
 

[QUOTE=Div3North;1222399]A striker! Who scores goals! (well, he did when he was on loan at Gateshead (10 in 17))

scored the two goals that beat hartlepool on boxing day. its on youtube or the vanarama site if you have the time to look,

Re: January transfer window.
 

If today's performance is anything to go by they will be a big boost to Stanley.

Re: January transfer window.
 

Also, as you can now see, I posted this just before the window opened.

For some reason it's only just appeared, my post must have been waiting for approval as a new member or whatever.

Latest I've heard is you want between 750-1m for Johnson and most of it up front. The player will try to push it through though.

Re: January transfer window.
 

Re: January transfer window.
 

Just had a peek on your forum Northerner, one of your fans thinking that 750 - 1m is 'silly money' for Callum - I wholeheartedly disagree, gone are the days when other teams could nick our players for peanuts.
Really hope we don't lose him but if we do, he won't be going anywhere on the cheap

Re: January transfer window.
 

Callum class act it's just when afraid
Connelly at right back for me a LOT won't agree .

Re: January transfer window.
 

That should have happened in the checkatrade mate instead of moving Clark back. He has experience of playing there so it wouldn't be a problem to him.
You're right though there will be a clamour of dissenters.

Re: January transfer window.
 

There's also the sell on clause to worry about it. We're going to lose a tasty portion of any fee.

Re: January transfer window.
 

In that case, raise the price to even 'sillier money' :)

Re: January transfer window.
 

Why not ? A bit of a dilemma for the club because his value is only going to reduce as the contract runs down and he's clearly interested - and who could blame him ?
It might depend on whether Coley can get a replacement in.

Re: January transfer window.
 

[QUOTE=Twenty Eight;1222759 and he's clearly interested - and who could blame him ?

not really sure if he should go and thats not from the stanley point of view. first real offer from a club higher up. his wages would certainly be higher but cannot see him being more than a bench warmer at best at preston. get some more games under his belt for us and an even better offer may come along.

Re: January transfer window.
 

I would tend to agree. One of my criticisms of the club in recent times has been that we sell players for huge fees, but then refuse to enter the inflated market when buying players. It's expensive, but if we're willing to benefit from the inflated market through sales, then we should be willing to reinvest it.

We've had right back issues for a while, through injury, form loss etc. If he were to sign, there would be a big chance for him to play and nail down a spot in the side.

Re: January transfer window.
 

Are you on commission, Northender?:rolleyes:

Re: January transfer window.
 

At the risk of being shot down, I'd say at this stage of the season the cash is not as important as having a decent replacement ready to take over - as having three changes to the back 5 showed on Saturday.
I don't mean that the new lads didn't do well, just that we can do without any more chopping & changing if we don't have to especially in defence

Re: January transfer window.
 

The two new boys looked very good on Saturday v Bristol Rovers....:mosher::mosher:
I think that we should be updating Callum's contract for another two years NOW in order to frighten off the richer clubs and to consolidate our current squad. I am sure that Andy Holt will be on the case and one or two others too.:hehetable

ps A great slot on BBC 1's 'Inside Out' programme last evening......:jimbo:
Andy is THE MAN!:theband::notworthy:notworthy:notworthy

Re: January transfer window.
 

Has anyone heard of a keeper called Legzdins at Burnley ? Heard we might be interested ? More to the point how many bloody keepers have Burnley got ?!?!?

Re: January transfer window.
 

He's the perennial backup keeper. He's had loads of clubs but always seems to end up as number 2. Heard we were in for a keeper from Burnley and there was me thinking it was Hart :eek::)

Re: January transfer window.
 

Yeah, Adam Legzdins - remember him in our conference days playing for Halifax, think he's been round the block a few times since

Re: January transfer window.
 

Should be a good shot saver then.

Re: January transfer window.
 

Given their current position, obviously not enough. :rolleyes:
Read the other day that Chelsea have 17 goal keepers on their books! No wonder it’s so difficult to find a good one who wants to work for a living.

Re: January transfer window.
 

That was way back in 2005. Although he's only 32, goalies just seem to have a longer shelf-life. He's also played against us for Crewe (when we lost 5-1 in 2010) and a couple of times against us for the Brewers in 2010-11.

Re: January transfer window.
 

could sell cut price shampoo on winners days if we got him. mind you i do not think we,d have too many of these with him in the nets nowadays.

Re: January transfer window.
 

Anybody heard anything about Andy Mangan to Morecambe ? Cheers.

Re: January transfer window.
 

No but he aint getting much playing time here. so quite possible imho

Re: January transfer window.
 

No, but if he wants a lift . . . . . . . .:D

Re: January transfer window.
 

Heard Oldham were interested .

Re: January transfer window.
 

harvey rodgers back with us after his loan spell at hartlepool. certainly did not set the town alight with his performances for them. what the hell has happened to this lad who i was glad to see him back with us. wonder what will happen to him next. another loan away or just see his contract out as i cannot see him getting a chance with us again.

Re: January transfer window.
 

Watch your back mate Lord Love Rocket will be on your case.

Re: January transfer window.
 

Ledgzins is a no signing another keeper apparently on a permanent deal maybe done today.

Re: January transfer window.
 

Dunbavin?!? :D

Re: January transfer window.
 

Di;

Bavs is at LFC

Suspect he'll be at St Helens on Monday.

Coley's put a bid in for a Conference winning GK; an ASFC hero;)

Re: January transfer window.
 

Rob Elliot hasn't played for Newcastle this season and was expected to be available in this Window.

Re: January transfer window.
 

I can assure you my post was entirely tongue in cheek Mark - hence the smiley face :)

I await the announcement of who our new keeper is with baited breath

Re: January transfer window.
 

We'd never be able to afford him . . . . . . . would we??

Re: January transfer window.
 

More chance of being struck by lightening,

Re: January transfer window.
 

Janoi is back till season end thats damn good news imho

Re: January transfer window.
 

Donacien is back!!!!! On loan till end of the season - welcome back Janoi :)

Re: January transfer window.
 

Does this mean Johnson is going?

Re: January transfer window.
 

Apparently he's injured anyway.

https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/spor...njury-15695191

Re: January transfer window.
 

I hope Janoi gets a fair run out, Piero has had very little, Ben has had a bit more. However you can not leave players on the bench and simply come on and be as match sharp despite training the same. They need match fitness. I wonder if we will get Kayden back on loan?

Re: January transfer window.
 

I wonder if Janoi is Cup tied?

Re: January transfer window.
 

No, just realised. Their first match was against us and he didn't feature in their match day squad....... so OK to play for us if selected....:alright:

Re: January transfer window.
 

Nope, he's only played in the league & EFL cup for Ipswich

Re: January transfer window.
 

What kind of Happy Football Insanity is this? He leaves in the summer, we get paid for him 2 weeks ago, he's out of favour with the new Manager, and we loan him back today (plus get dressing rooms that won't scare Fulham off next time they come to ours! If you'd put that in a book or TV play you'd have been laughed off the page/screen!

Thank you, the Voodoo Gods

And Ipswich!

Re: January transfer window.
 

Thought we had sorted the left back prob.

Re: January transfer window.
 

Can play anywhere along the back four fantastic player one of my Stanley favourites.

Re: January transfer window.
 

He was never meant to be a left back to be fair. Think this means that Johnson will be gone shortly.

Re: January transfer window.
 

Possibly, but they are both good players, but for me Donacien has the edge.

Re: January transfer window.
 

Great news to have Janoi back at Stanley. He will need his confidence boosting but John and Jimmy are masters at that job! As has already been said, Janoi is versatile and can play anywhere in defence and in midfield. Athletic and mobile he was one of my all time favourites in a red shirt.��Welcome home Janoi.⚽

Re: January transfer window.
 

Good point as cover in case Callum does go but I think the money being offered will have to treble IMHO if he doesn't go still good business.
