What The Hell?!?! - Page 3

i second the 100% judgement backing. Too many times I have said that Coley hasn't got a clue what he's doing, but every time I and many others have been proved wrong.

I do however, detest these undisclosed fee's. If Barry has gone 10k (ballpark figure only) then one is inclined to think what was the point, if he has gone for 30k (ballpark again) then you think good deal. I just hope that Coley has judged right once again, because now is not the time to gamble.

We all talk about how we can't believe we've let Barry go!!! Has anyone thought what it actually means to the lad and maybe we didn't want him to go but he wanted to.. It is a league one team for goodness sake.

For what it's worth (and I know it's not much) I never rated him that much. Thought he was just ok... alright before you all start jumping all over me I will be the first to admit I could have missed something and only time will tell without him. I just tend to remember him for giving the ball away too much to the opposition!!

He had improved in recent games but if we were to lose any of our midfield I'm glad it was him.

Finally, after saying all that I wish him the best of luck and hope he becomes a sensation in league 1

Gutted... His energy will be missed.....

everybody has said that if barry or craney got injured we would be in trouble. I hope this lad from Burton is a good player.

DanTheMonkey · 31-01-2006, 20:46

If he wasnt good, i doubt coley would have brought him in
He knows its crunch time, i doubt he will gamble

In respect of Coley’s decision. It's his job to get the best out of the lads and ensure that we maintain a credible team. I have to wonder why we would doubt his judgement when the club is 11 points ahead with a game in hand. It’s a possibility that it’s Anthony’s decision to move on. Whichever it is both players should have our support. Anthony Barry, because he is entitled to have a future, Mr Todd because he’s about to put on a Red Shirt and is entitled to have the opportunity to prove his credentials…….

Redraine · 31-01-2006, 21:14

How the hell do you think I feel?
Last night after coming back from the Grey Horse after seeing our inspired performance I sponsored Barry's away shirt!!!
In my opinion he is POTENTIALLY the best player we have (had). I thought that when we eventually have to sell Craney we would have Barry to build on for the future.
I feel sick .

Whalley Red · 31-01-2006, 21:21

Andy Todd is definitely a striker and a tall one at that. Not exactly sure how he fits in the current team though. He's on the bench for all of Burton's game and surely he'll be the same here: cover for Mully, rather than as a strike partner instead of Boco.

Unless Barry only got a contract until the end of the season, I can't see why we would sell him. We're clearly short of fit midfielders with Cav playing on the right hand side.

Good luck to the lad. I've always rated him as someone who could develop into an extremely good player.

Bradshaw Boy · 31-01-2006, 21:40

Good luck to the lad. He's benn impressive for us and it's a big step up for him but I'm sure that Yeovil have signed him based on his potential and why not? - Premiership teams pay millions for it
As regards to Coley's judgement - what can you do but trust it - the guy's hardly made a mistake apart from the procession of 'keepers we've had before he found Alan Curbishley's 'phone number!
James, Prendergast, Hollis (and others) all did a job for us in the past but we've moved on as a club.
As the man himself would say "Keep the Faith"

smudgie · 31-01-2006, 23:19

absolutely gutted hes left i hope J.C knows what hes doing cus to let him go for next to nothing (which is what an undisclosed fee means) is an absolute disgrace!

i can only hope proccy returns ASAP!

Speak to the club, I'm sure they will let you change it to another player if thats what you want. I had an agreement with Eric that if Boco was sold in the Jan window he would give me my money back and we shook on it with witnesses of course

but I said well if he does go and I get my money back then I will just put it on to another player. So it satisfied both parties... but whoopee looks like I got boco for the season

Willie Miller · 31-01-2006, 23:24

Gutted gutted & double gutted

But, Tin Monkey is right that we should trust Coley & Harwood Red is right too that a move for anyone at Accrington Stanley to a League 1 club on good money is what the management promise these young lads (if they train hard, do the right things on & off the pitch & play well). JC couldn't really stand in his way & unfortunately, the pull of the wages for Anthony & playing in front of bigger crowds means the move was a "no brainer".

Despite the transfer window, there have been comings & goings all season & we can still get a loan signing or even a free agent in the coming weeks. We have some good contacts & so keep the faith

To Anthony, thank you & the best of luck. You have hopefully come a long way to making a little piece of football history.

The Future....
Rocky in centre midfield with tretts & welch at centre half

8 wins & we'll be home & dry, Grays lost at home & only Hereford are on a "run" along with the reds of Acc

LOVE IT!

Bit strong mate, put yourself in Anthony's position, he wants to play as high as possible in football & Coley has said he won't stand in anyone's way

Now if it had have been Ian or Gary....

or Mullers?

well put their, id have proccy over rocky any day of the week in center mid tho.

i hope hes back from injury soon cus rocky is not a midfielder

in my opinion.

shakermaker · 01-02-2006, 00:00

rocky is a brilliant centre midfielder when needed. argueably more presence than procter if not the work rate. remember he was a midfielder when he joined us way back when!
this club will never struggle to put together a full strength team as the passion is and will always be there. EG. Cav and Barry Hart playing in the net against Barrow after 2 sendings off in the cup a coulpe of seasons ago?
Every player at this club WANTS to play for stanley - and so will always give 100% and play wherever he is needed.
It's the Stanley way!

DanTheMonkey · 01-02-2006, 06:41

I have a feeling that the Todd is going to play right mid, and we will loan a centre mid from somewhere else.
