Wouldn't surprise me in the least, especially with Mellon in charge at Tranmere Whalley is going to Accy Stanley Accrington Staley are a well run club and clearley they think Whalley can still offer somthing at this level i wish him the best appart from when he plays us. footballleagueworld.co.uk/exclusive-accrington-stanley-set-to-secure-deal-for-shrewsbury-town-man/"Whalley is now set to become the third addition to Accrington’s squad, adding more competition in the attacking areas of the pitch. The veteran wide player spent seven years at Shrewsbury, with all of his 214 league appearances coming in the third tier of English football."

Good move for both Accy and Shaun.
I was sad to see him leave us but with the way our squad is developing I don't think that he would have got many games

Good luck to Shaun Whalley. A good welcome back to the Meadow from me that’s for sure until the whistle goes!!
Be in no doubt any Accrington fans visiting here - you have a gem who will work his hardest for you.

Quite amusing really, da Costa, Shipley and Baylis, no town fan can honestly say they know much about, and can’t of seen much of them.. then obrien’s stats are hardly anything to shout about, and dunkley has not played much football lately and has a shocking injury record.. but it seems to be good job cotterill and burt all round..
Hopefully all the new signings are bang on, cotterills recruitment on the whole has been first class

I'm sure we still need a few more to bring competition for places. Guess some might have to be young loanees, hope SC gives them a few games this season.

What a week! More signings than we ever thought possible. Shaun's fixed up, Josh Daniels fixed up, Cameron Gregory at Kettering, LJL fixed up, Nolan fixed up, even Janneh has found a bench to sit on.

See the squad as it stands thread at the top of the page. blueandamber.proboards.com/thread/94104/squad-standsSo realistically about 15 ready to push for 1st team places (incl 2 keepers). The rest are youngsters who may get the odd game. I would think we need another 3 or 4 that can do a job in case of injury or suspension as I doubt we will be as lucky in that department as last season. Not got a full squad yet but in a much better position than a week ago.

He's winding you up lancsman. He's got nothing better to do than picking fault with cotterill and all the new signings, and the 'SMALL SQUAD'👍😉😉

But I wonder what histrionic poster said this?
I very rarely judge a player before I've seen him, even the players who we know can turn up vastly different between one season and the next, look at dan udoh & Pierre as recent examples, they all start a fresh for me, even the manager, although he has a head start this season, he can only get better ;-)
Contradiction at its best, oh dear (smiley face everyone)

Great signings, but work to do. Pilch, although he has a bias against SC, is entitled to his opinion.

Looking at our squad now (and taking into account cotterils and dunks comments of it being a smaller squad) realistically I can only see 2 new additions. Hopefully fornah in the defensive mid position and a yoof at left wing back.
For depth in midfield fornah plus one would be nice however I think we shall see more of Bennett there this season so maybe another midfield loan?
Also poor pyke (still listed as out on loan on the club website!) to depart for his and the clubs sake
All in all it's been a very refreshing bit of transfer business pre Spain trip. Hat off to Burt and cotts

Hat off to Burt and cotts The long lists I've seen may be unrealistic but I'd hope for more than 2. Currently only have 16 senior players and that includes Pyke and Bloxham. So space for another 4 if Pyke is included, or 5 if not. Small squad is one thing, but would hope Cotterill will have learnt some lessons from last year and also have to factor in that 5 subs is now allowed. I'd hope for 3 or 4 in - a LWB, a defensive midfielder and another attacking option, whether a no10 or striker. Maybe another defensive option who can cover CB. The latter ones on loan. This is unless Cotterill sees Craig, Caton, Barlow etc as genuine first team options. But they clearly weren't last season

You'd like to think coming in still would be
LCB DCM ACM (more creativity please, know we've got Shipley but never hurts to have another) CM (this is a luxury but I feel even with 2 more we'll be light here. Shame we've not got a youth team option to develop here.)
How much do we reckon we'll look to fill out the bench?

If you can't handle a bit of SC critical banter then switch off, its a bit like the SR banter we used to get on here, well except that was serious

I mean had I posted, what would have you made of it ? I admit there is always and underlying hint of sarcasm about my posts which a lot of people just don't spot but I mean wow, I can't work you out either

Whalley come on as a sub for Accrington (I think it’s Shaun anyway) hasn’t officially signed yet.
