What The Hell?!?!

Just as Barry gets great he leaves, and we replace him with a Burton reject?! I dont know what to make of it.

undisclosed fee? hope we got big money for him at least...

just read it and i am shocked!....Anthony Barry who lets the team play the way we do sold

shakermaker · 31-01-2006, 19:19

I'm shocked too, I wouldn't have thought we'd have let anyone go at this stage.
But then again it's the age-old theory of one in-one out at this club which makes perfect economic sense I suppose

Outback Ozzy · 31-01-2006, 19:20

Jeez - good luck Anthony and welcome Andy Todd. Hope you enjoy your stay and the IES and assist in our promotion. Got to say at least it wasn't Ian Craney or Gary Roberts, they would have been hard to replace if not impossible

zayno14 · 31-01-2006, 19:22

good luck to the lad but ithink he will be hard to replace..he was the unsung hero and broke opposition play and found the ball to gary..it is hard to find a player to do that and he was getting great at the role...

Just our luck ain't it? As soon as Barry puts in his greatest performances in a Stanley shirt he's shipped off!
I wonder if this makes way for Rocky as a makeshift midfielder? (remember Rotheram?) or maybe a surprise early return from the Proc?
Todd is a defensive midfielder isn't he? looks like we are trying to cement our place at the top with good old fashioned tough defending.
It's all happening so fast!

Just discussing on coach how underated Ant Barry is

John Coleman said nobody was going and then

just checking its not april 1st

anyway good luck Antony Barry

shakermaker · 31-01-2006, 19:31

Well Coley must believe Todd is better than Barry...and so far this season I trust his judgement 100%
Good luck Ant and let's get some songs thought up for Andy Todd!!

John_Timmins · 31-01-2006, 19:31

fair play to him securing the move to a yovil as at the start of the season even coley thought he wasent good enough to play ten games for stanley!, Maybe coley is building for the league and barry might not be able to stand up against the tough tackling of league 2, when was he contracted onto with us? maybe coley was making sure that he made some cash out of him?,

Rocky as a midfeilder sounds good as thats wat he was when he joined us, and perfect with tretton and welchy at the back!

Still think we need some more cover in the middle though, especially now!

Diesel · 31-01-2006, 19:32

Good luck to Barry, he's made a good move there. Hope this Todd is just as good, if not better

which is why Todd has been signed up...

Jack Adams · 31-01-2006, 19:34

Hi guys.
So we've got a good 'un in Barry have we?

Outback Ozzy · 31-01-2006, 19:34

Just a though, Tretton looked fairly solid last night gainst Exeter when he came on - lets hope he is now injury free till the end of the season.

zayno14 · 31-01-2006, 19:35

you gotta gem!

sparkie · 31-01-2006, 19:36

okay as many people know i'm not one of barry's biggests fans, but we do need what he gives to the team which is tough tackling and good first touch. I hope this undisclosed fee is a big one! Good luck to you son onward and upward!!!

One thing I can't understand is letting anthony go when we were already short in midfield, surely it would have made more sense to keep anthony and sign Todd. All the talk about adding another midfielder to bolster the sqaud only works when you keep the players you've got!!! Lets hope Toddy can settle quickly and be a good asset.
