    Summer transfer rumours and speculation

    in Port Vale present

    Posted

    The trap I won't fall into again. Is that oh they played for last seasons title winners. Great signing.

    Massey ,Wigan .

    Grant, Plymouth .

    Think someone had suggested before , let's raid Harrogate, Morecambe etc for their gems. And yes they do have some. 

    Hungry players not crocks and players on a downward trajectory.

    I agree to an extent but players & their agents will listen to sensible offers to pay up their contract because a) they will not be playing next season b) Their money will already be reduced this season because of relegation clauses in the contract c) If they are not playing, they will not pick up any bonuses for wins, positions in table etc (I know that sounds hard to believe after the last 18 months d) it will do their career no good at all for the following season, if they just want to sit on their contract whilst not playing and then trying to sign for a new club. It would be a bad look for them if they played a season without any games and it looks like they have an attitude because they would rather get paid then move on and play.

    We can play right hard ball on this and I'm expecting we will with one or two contracted players

    Even though they are still under contract, we will be very lucky to keep hold of the likes of Garrity, Ripley and Chislett. The Power is still very much in those players hands with what they want to do next season

    No self respecting professional footballer would want to be at a club where they have no future and are ostracised. I agree, play hard ball, make our stance known. Then as you say the ball gets rolling and hopefully their agents are on the phone to Spennymoor, Winsford or Truro City and they can leave. 

    We can't afford ( playing wise ) to have some of these loitering around without the possibility of another struggle for league two survival. They are hopeless. 

    A minus 33 goal difference is a disgraceful statistic amongst numerous records we've set this season. Get them gone. 

    There are ways and means. Doesn't have to involve payouts of over a million quid to the cast offs.

    Agree with most of that but the club announced last week Lomax was out for the season sadly. Like to have a look at Brazier and Buah in this game too.

    Be good for folk to get a look at Brazier before he goes to Dortmund.

    didnt they fork out a bit of money in january to bring a couple of players in Daz.....armstrong from Harrogate and a couple of others 🤔

    Definitely had Armstrong who seemed to do very little. He was meant to be going to Wrexham I think and it fell through.

    Just had quick ganders and he scored 3 in 20 for Carlisle. He has a 3 1/2 year deal so they splashed the cash definitely on him.

    I still cannot understand the mentality. 

    Was the set up at Bolton same as Peterborough as that set up showed no ambition 

    You play to win not too keep the score down .

    Moores negative set ups are as much too blame for relegation as the players inability to fight to put pride in the badge .

    Under Crosby at least in the games prior to Carlisle away where we gave game away (sound familiar as we must have given about 20 defeats away through our own play not the opposition doing anything special )there was something under Moore one 58 minute performance v Bristol Rovers h where the players put in what Horton Rudge Adams teams did weekly not for 60 minutes odd of a new managers tenure .

    I cannot believe that Moore hasn't improved us .

    He hasn't 

    If anything we have become a lot worse .

    Unless he was told to take them down due to the flitcroft saga .

    So it looks then like it's the fans fault .

    We see what a good manager he is now .

    Why waste time let's have the list today 

    I don't like the defeatist attitude and negative approach 😒. 

    I get Bolton and Peterborough are better than us.

    Bolton and Peterborough both lost at home to Carlisle. Orient won 3-0 away at Portsmouth. Derby lost at Shrewsbury and drew at Cheltenham. Plenty of other examples. 

    We can't go toe to toe but too many times we have our bellies tickled.

    In no scenario is a 3-0 defeat acceptable in my opinion. Me and a mate I go to the game with had a ding dong on Wattsap about Peterborough where he said we were seconds away from the perfect first half . I replied there was 45 mins left and we would of got spanked anyway even if 0-0 at half time. 

    We only beat Derby last season due to 10 men and the gods were in our favour. In general we are beaten before a ball is kicked and rarely

    score against the bigger fish.

    Hoping for a new ground to visit out of one the teams in the National League and only Barnet I have been to so no doubt they will go up.  Disappointing to see that Gateshead have been barred from taking part in the play-offs, deserved their place after 46 games.

    Gateshead almost have no purpose or goal. They have reached their ceiling because of that ruling so little point coming top or in the play offs.

    league two will make for some grim grounds to be visiting…. Wimbledon, Morecambe, Harrogate, Walsall, gillingham, Newport, Swindon, Salford, Grimsby, Colchester, crawley, barrow, Carlisle. FFS. 

    Wimbledon moved to a new stadium on plough lane.

    I'm a ground nerd and went in October v Bradford when we were on international break. Not a bad ground. 

    Squirreled away amongst flats apartments and office blocks. 

    Little did I know I'd be attending the following season or I wouldn't of gone 🤔. 

    The pubs by the ground ask for your match ticket to check you are a home fan otherwise can't get in.

    Reading (A) match thread - 20th Feb

    Anybody still in on the Reading love in? Although we've been dreadful and deservedly relegated, this game was the catalyst for our downfall in my opinion.

    At the time we were initially meant to play them, we were in reasonable form and they weren't. We still had Devine and had started the game well, having a goal disallowed.

    We then had the game the week after postponed and so any momentum built up in December was vanquished.

    When we played the replayed game, we were in a right old state and they had picked up some form.

    This is a team that signed some very decent league 1 standard players but then failed to pay them. A couple of which we were believed to have been after. Why was this allowed?

    I'm sure all their fans will be delighted that they've stayed up but for me they should have been punished more severely. But like everything with this club, we meekly surrendered.

    One of the most bizarre things I've ever heard was that our fans were in the Reading end at Wigan. Completely staggered me.

    Agree with all your post.

    Well heartfelt commiserations to you guys, you put up a good show yesterday, fortuitous at times maybe but you had your moments too. One thing I will say is a big call out to your fans who were as noisy and supportive as any we’ve had at the ToughSheet this season. It wasn’t to be but look forward not back and think of those celebrations next year when you’re back up again, which I’m sure you will be. Good luck next season. 👏😉

    I think a good show is stretching it. Only your profligacy in front of goal stopped a cricket score. 

    But cheers for the good wishes 👍.

    Bit of a long shot   However Bannan is on record saying Moore is the best manager he’s played for , I’m trying to find the BBC radio Sheffield interview when he expressed it , when I do I will post it .

    Wasn't he on berserk money in League one ?

    No way he's dropping to League 2 at his age. 

    Be another Dwight Gayle scenario with people believing we have a chance.

    How anyone could say smith is worst player of the season is a joke. He was crap when being played on the right of the back 3 by Crosby. At the time numerous fans said he couldn’t play there, why Crosby didn’t see this I don’t know. 

    Wouldn’t make sense to get rid of smith imo. We have far greater problems. Maybe focus on getting rid of and replacing the yak, Jones, Debrah and Lowe first.

    Some of Debrah defending yesterday was beyond a joke. Looks like he's won a raffle to play. 

    Smith has been poor 100%. But he's nowhere near our worst culprit at the back.
