Not having that. If the current DF situation tells us anything, it's that you can just be responsible for the good stuff. It was a great time for Vale, but Rudge wouldn't have worked without Bell and vice versa.

A lot of positives to take. Lots of negatives too, but we look better. Grant is no full back. Loft can't score. Jones is poo. I think we have enough. Impressed with Weir. Mighten too.

I'd love that Tolaj from Aldershot. Or Donley from Spurs!

In terms of a striker signing, more than happy to go with a relative unknown if they match the profile we're after. Stockton, Telford, Maynard we're all expensive mistakes for other clubs and even at PL level, good goal scorers are increasingly rare. We've got to stay calm and trust the decisions being made... so far the quality in the window has been good. It may be that our next 20 goal striker is Dipepa. It's the way more and more clubs will be looking to operate.

Tommy Widdrington connection too. Hated him when he got sent off for nearly snapping JJ at Vale Park. Loved him for us.

I thought I was so clever! TBF, I'd take him over Loft as No9.

Maybe Ryan Lowe should start betting on Vale games. He'd get off on the argument that he couldn't influence them!

I'm doing Dry January. I view the FA'S stance on the Toney case in the same way I view the people trying to convince me to drink when I've driven the pub.

Exactly. The ads are relentless and the sponsorship is appalling. I love betting, but it's just everywhere. The PL have made it synonymous with the sport. Hypocrisy is the word.

Toney shouldn't have been banned at all in my opinion.

1) She bought the club at an inflated price to save it. 2) it's not your money to spend. 3) cash isn't the only way to succeed.

That's my thinking too.

Dale Taylor rumour doing the rounds on social.

Bristol City fan mate of mine mentioned they're probably going to loan out Sam Bell, Mickey Bell's lad. Could be a good option. Plays with Ollie and Alfie in the U20s.

I wouldn't mind a pop at Tshimanga from Posh. I know he's struggled since moving up to L1, but he's a good age and could so well in the right environment.

Always thought he looked a tidy player at FGR. Would certainly be a decent statement to sign an in form striker even from L2.
