New Signing

I was going to post, when I heard he had left his last club, but thought better of it.........
I am putting myself up to be shot down - for a change - but, do not see this as a good signing!
Not good enough last time he was with us, so fail to how he will be now, hope I am very, very wrong - let us see in 2024!

Didn't see that coming. Typical Coley signing. Happy to give the lad another chance but wouldn't have been top of my list.
Totally underwhelmed.
I thought we’d gone beyond this.

No Ian Dumbavin signing tomorrow as number 1 keeper Toby will have his work cut out to shift him.
Would not joke, I doubt very much that O'Sullivan will the last......
Nathen Baxter would be nice.
We have to trust our management as we know they like to o sign familiar players. John O’Sullivan signing on at this stage in his career is almost a copy of when Sean Mac came back to us. If John O’S does as well as Sean S has done we will be very happy. Also IMHO, a players form for other people event clubs is now t the only factor when signing by them up. Our club still have a tight salary budget that shouldn’t be confused with the spending recently on club ground infrastructure etc. I believe John O’S will be great signing because there is still untapped potential in him that our management will get out of him!
like all signings its a wait and see. if we had signed a player of a similar age and experiance who had not played for stanley before from another div.2 promoted club i think the reaction would have been different. as choirboy said he could turn out as a new sean.
Or a Gary Roberts. Everyone saying budget tight ..... but give him a three year deal.
As a club we have been crying out for longer deals on players so has not to be ripped off every summer when someone has had a blinder, we will still be paying some of the lower wages in this league but it's a rise to most we sign on. Think unless you have a mega rich owner some attendance based financially dependant clubs after the last fanless 12+ months will be cutting their respective cloths.
gary roberts is a damn good player but 3 year deal when the lads 37 is ridiculous to me
Not sure if I,m right but sure that when he signed in January it was a short term deal until the end of the season, either way he left by mutual consent to join the coaching staff at Ipswich we might even have received a bit of compensation.
It's O'Sullivan that's got 3 years mate.
If you as a manager or club really want a player especially as the club he,s at in this case Morecambe who would probably be offering similar money but maybe less years you go for it, also if he is a raging success and clubs want him as with any player you make a profit especially on the level of money we will be paying. Every signing as a element of risk even the top managers make bad signings, you could break our wage structure and pay 3 times has much on 1 year deals but successful or not there wouldn't be the prospect of a profit.
It's also got to be balanced against the deals the existing players have.
It shouldn't be the case that you leave to come back on a better deal.
If it comes off great but I've got to be honest and say the player hasn't shown anything to convince he's a league one player who's going to take us to the next level.

misread yer meaning.
That's why I mentioned wages structure and breaking it which won't happen, I was surprised at the signing but John obviously wants him and like I said previously he will have matured now his football brain probably hopefully improved no doubt about his talent.
