I'll be very Hanoi'd if he goes there.

Well unless a law has been introduced compelling players to sign a contract l don't think it's fair to blame Vale for this. Rhys Walters looks a decent prospect but it would be absolutely mad to break our structure for a kid with so much still to learn.

They'd probably be more inclined stick around if those idiots who revel in dishing out abuse would zip it. I honestly think the team and manager were taken aback by the over-the-top reaction last Saturday. There's probably an evening's drinking and discussion to be had about why some of our support has this tendency. All l know is l rarely come across it at other clubs - at least, not ones who are playing what is pretty much their level for many years.

But wouldn't he have known of its impending availability on the "football grapevine" or does that not exist?
