We will miss Super Sub Ronan if he goes to join Tolaj at Plymouth. The trio of Tolaj, Curtis & Stockley were the key to the goals required to get promoted last season. It depends how much Plymouth are willing to pay for him at this critical time of the season and whether Jon Brady has a better replacement lined up as we have long term injuries on the left side which Ronan has covered as best he could. He also delivers a good accurate cross which provides goals so he is versatile and marketable so should command a good transfer fee should the Vale decide to sell him at this point in the season.

Not unexpected speculation, after all it’s the transfer window and Curtis IMO is possibly the club’s most creative outlet. A transfer fee for Curtis combined with a £120K FA Cup win bonus against Fleetwood would give Brady some spending power to freshen up the squad. There might be several ins and outs.

We have no idea if Ronan wants to stay or leave, or if personal circumstance or not. Or pure financial. All is pure speculation. He may be offered far more than the Vale as Plymouth will have a bigger budget. Fans playing Manager and CFO crack me up. The owners have put millions into the club via their business, have given people a chance (maybe a little too long granted but not the crime of the century) and still get constant abuse. Would love to see others throwing £2 million into the club, even if you had circa £10m available through cash and loans. Would you honestly? Knowing that you will also get the grief from all soon enough? Anyway, give the new manager a chance, he knows more than us all as is in the midst of it. There will be changes so lets support and see. UTV
