Craney was inspirational & inventive first time around, second time around showed glimpses of his past glories but they were sporadic.

It's no use keep looking back we have to move on, forward, we have enough midfielders barring a left sided one

at the end of the day It's a football club not friends reunited, I suppose I mean by that don't let sentiment & emotions cloud your judgement

Two of the things you have quoted should give you the answer, he has had his best days with us, we need to look forward, or we will be having Cav at RB and Mullers up front!!

It depends on a number of things, including Youth development costs, medical information, value to club, games played etc.

What I do belive is we have the FACTS to prove our youth + medical dept do a FANtastic job, and hopefully this will result in a FAIR fee!!!

Is it right that we paid for some operation prior to him playing professional football or did I dream that?

Gutted....though you can't blame the lad. However the fact that it will be decided by tribunal doesn't fill me with much optimism.

They're notorious for undervaluing players. Will they impose a clause on the deal??? Will the fee they have to pay reflect the TRUE value of the lad and his undoubted potential???

Can we replace Grant and Symes with like for like and players who can drive the club forward??? This news coupled with the possibility; and realistically, probability of Symes off to pastures new, makes signing Kee a must.

Hope Coley enjoyed his holiday....the hard work starts now and he'll have to act fast to get suitable replacements snapped up, before all we're left with is other folks dead wood to choose from. He's going to have to rebuild our entire front line from scratch.

And this will teach the club a harsh lesson.In the future they will have to tie key players down on longer term contracts. Otherwise this scenario may come back to bite us on the posterior again.

Medical information has to remain confidental, BUT you're not dreaming

If any one can recall a case where a club were happy with a tribunal award tell me about it because it eludes me.

absoulty gutted!! grant was a great younger striker/winger! loved watching him play his passion for the game!! his engery everything!! good luck to him no doubt he will be on quite abit more than he is at Stanley and to play infront of alot of people!! just hoping the money can be put to good use!! and think it also says something about our academy as he came through that natured by coley and jb!! good luck bobby

Grimps · 24-05-2010, 21:11

we need to get players on bigger contracts now ... good look bobby .... beach 4 you now .. but good luck

cashman · 24-05-2010, 21:33

Think if he goes to Scunny, that whilst going up the ladder, aint the best move fer him, no disrespect to Scunny,think the lad would do much better, if he remained at stanley fer 1 more season, also so would stanley, don't wish bobby any ill will, but think he's being a bit numb.

MCR ADIM · 24-05-2010, 21:36

he's probery talked to coley jb and other players!! he's 19 getting to play in championship on better wages infront of 10000 people!! I know what I would do at 19!! good luck to him hope it all works out!! hes going have a great career!!
