See fishy site. Welcome on board young man.

Pendle Red · 16-07-2011, 17:30

That's a Great Signing!!

Pleased as punch for the lad and as Coley says in the article he may not be the finished article but has got a hunger and desire which has shown on the pitch.

Welcome onboard Kurtis

welcome on board fella and how refreshing to hear his comments after the crap from mcconville etc and their mercenary attitude

Pendle Red · 16-07-2011, 17:57

Maybe this is more based on gut feeling or hunch but I have been racking my brains trying to put into words what it is with the lad and I don't want to put unwanted pressure on him but every once in a while there comes along a player who has the presence, a work ethic and something special that endears them to quickly become crowd favourites and what I have seen in two games be it pre-season has already convinced me.

I am very pleased for all concerned. He has earned the chance to make a name for himself and I think he will.

Fantastic; what a season we're going to have. I was so gutted at the exodus and after such a good season; I was gutted for Coley and Jimmy and those who held true. But alas we have the best manager and assistant in Britain today. I hope the club move to recognise this team in a big, big way this year.

Welcome to all those who are joining us for the first time and a big thank you to those who stayed true. On, Stanley On! 5th last season; we've only just begun…..

I'm with you, Smudgie. Anything better than survival this season will be a great achievement for Coley and Jimmy after losing so many players, including the spine of the team. It will take some time for a new team to gel. We, the fans, will have a big part to play in encouraging the lads through thick and thin, especially young Kurtis, who is going to come in for some harsh treatment from the seasoned pro's in league2.

smudgie · 16-07-2011, 19:24

I agree.....

However after seeing him plant that header with Robinson, Givet etc all in close surroundings today I firmly believe he has what it takes.

Lot of sense being spoke on here,hes only a raw 18 year old ,having to live away from home, but there is something different about him, and I wish him all the best ,if he's got it ,coley and co will bring it out of him

ddevil2006 · 16-07-2011, 19:38

did he sign before or after the game today

Mr T · 16-07-2011, 19:48

Kurtis signed after today's game

Special well done to the dedicated staff who gave up their time to make it happen (you are all ASFC superstars)

Yes he's young, yes he's raw AND he'll need the FANtastic fans to wrap him up and make him feel party of our unique family. (remember he's only 18)

Will this happen?? As course it will, because what we are part of this very, very special club

Nail on the head, good to see the dynamic duo not letting the grass grow, seems great potential wi the kid, think perhaps would have been preferable wi a 2 yr contract? if hes a quick developer the vultures will soon be circling.
