What players are contracted to be with us next season, possibly in League 2? Also, what do people think about Grant as a CM? For me, he's not a LWB. But can we keep him as a CM?

Need a striker! Have a horrible feeling we're done though!

In the short term we could become a conveyor belt of young, talented prospects from the Premiership. Give them plenty of game time in League 1 for then to be recalled back and train with their parent clubs (Blaster) or moved up a league (Devine). Obviously, we won't do this with every loanee but we must becoming more attractive to Premiership clubs who want to give their decent talented young uns some game time. Benefits us and them.

This gives a good idea about what kind of a midfielder Gore is. It is just clips of him during one game. Apologies if already posted.

Not counting Lowe and Walters in midfield (as personally I don't fancy them) is Ojo (when fit), Sang, Chissy, Weir and Gore (if he signs) enough in midfield? We've lost: Blaster, Devine, Conlon and Garrity (injury). And is the balance right in midfield? Not sure what type of midfielder Gore is?

Looks on! Hope he's decent if deal is complete!

Totally appreciate that Loft hasn't shown much but I do think he deserves a longer run in the team (if we are going to judge him fairly) According to the stats I've seen, he's played 448 minutes in League 1 this season. So, in total: 5 games. Don't get me wrong that't's enough time to have scored a couple of goals but it isn't much time. Also, when he has played, how many of those was he up front on his own? For me, Uche and Wilson start. But judging Loft when playing alongside Wilson (and for a number of games) would be much more fair. Playing alongside Wilson may bring out the best in him? But, may be not. But at least he would have had a fair chance. I haven't totally written Loft off and I do want him to succeed.

I think it's the fact that it frustrated me playing Plant at LWB. He clearly isn't one and at times looked the weak link. Get in a LWB alongside Grant whenever we can. Play Plant further forward in whatever Vale see as his best position.

Totally agree about Plant. 100% needs to play in his natural position, if we decide to keep in the squad for next season as opposed to loaning him out. I believe we are looking at him to be a number 10. Give him a go there or loan him out.

It's fantastic for him and his family. I don't mean any disrespect but I hope that he doesn't become Josh Thomas' replacement.

Again reading the Charlton forum, some on there suggest that Charlton were in for several strikers. One being Uche. However, according to them, they've landed more preferable strikers and so the Uche deal is off. Not necessarily due failing a fitness test.

Chat on Charlton forum suggests Uche deal is off and they state that SKY say that they (Charlton) are in for Jake Young.

Oh! Don't say that!

That's odd!

Charlton signed Ladapo confirmed on BBC. ? over Uche signing for them?

Certainly the gift that keeps giving on here!

How do people know all this about Uche? One minute Charlton, then Wycombe, back to Charlton, Done deal! Currently: failed fitness test!

Might be worth sneaking an extra player on! Defo

I do like Uche - he's 'interesting' to watch when he gets on the ball. But, we've lost a 'hold up' player ( which can be useful, obviously) but not a natural goalscorer! I wish him well if he has gone!

Has anyone told Uche this?

Have heard this myself (about Williams)

Totally agree about a decent CB but not sure 3 (4 with Deipepa) up top is enough. Would like another to compliment the attacking options as well as giving us enough cover up front.

With Thomas going back, surely we'll be bringing in a Premiership (ideally) / Championship striker!

Do we reckon Jensen Weir improves us?

CB please!
