We definitely should be targeting the National League where you will find players like Paul McCallum at Eastleigh (30 goals this season), Nicke Kabamba (Barnet, 24 goals) and Mani Dieseruvwe (Harlepool, 23 goals).
If you drop one tier lower, you find strikers like Paul Blackett (South Shields 29 goals) and Ollie Pearce (Worthing, 40 goals).
Several of these are on the short list for the NGA (ie non-league) Golden Boot award where there are also several other prolific goalscorers plying their trade in the lower reaches.
Admittedly, not all or even any of these would make it in the EFL but I wonder how much attention we are paying to these players. Peterborough and one or two others seem to make a fine living out of it - and with the shoddy fare we've had to put up with in recent seasons, it might not be a bad idea to give them a look over.
I think if Vale target any non league player it will be a young one they have a chance of selling on at a later date
I cant see us having any interest in McCallum(30) or Kabamba(31) because of their age,same with Dieseruvwe(29 and had 300 clubs),I personally think if we sign a striker of that age it will be one who has been playing League football.
I mentioned Tolaj(22) at Aldershot and Conn-Clark attacking midfielder at Altrincham(22) I think those are the ages we would target from a lower league

I did say we could target a national league striker as well as an experienced League striker,there are plenty of league teams watching national league players... in fact in January a championship side signed Tolaj's strike partner
-
IF we do try to somehow get rid of Loft then why not take a punt on a national league striker to replace him with.. the likes of Tolaj and Aldershot or Cardwell at Southend to go along with an experienced League striker

I do really like the 2 or 3 weeks after the season finishes when clubs are announcing retained lists,that's when we start to say who we would like take from other clubs and then some moan saying they are cast offs etc...... love it

We won 6 (double).
That's good then
No point though for you to keep coming on for a pop at our manager as he isn't going anywhere whether we like it or not,you are very welcome on here tbh but it's a bit odd for you to have a dig at a manager no longer at your club,only my opinion
It seems like he is going to get the time to build a team here,it might work it might not that's football...some of your fans were raving about your manager and his football when DM left but he seems to be struggling with it now doesn't he? do any of you want him gone now? nothing said that any other manager would of saved us but we wont know that now,we go with what we have got and see how it pans out
We cant deny that DM did well at Doncaster,WBA and Sheff Wed but poorly for you and us(so far),you dont turn into a terrible manager overnight imo and lets be honest he has a big job now to build his reputation back up or he will end up on the managerial scrap heap.
Anyway good luck in League One and hopefully we will play you soon enough 😉

Terribly to be honest. We just needed a few more points than 3 wins in 23 from Darren and we would have been fine.
Sound familiar?, you should never have been relegated this season, never.
You needed very little points wise to stay up and yet that charlatan couldn’t even get you that could he.
Both our clubs have suffered, both our clubs have made shocking managerial decisions. And both our clubs are getting exactly what they deserve. Relegation.
No complaints but for goodness sake do not exonerate the very Man that has completely shafted us both.
Whats happened in your other 20 games?

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.
Rumoured to be on 24k when they were in League One

Definitely not Darren’s fault.
He is desperately unlucky and it is nothing to do with him whatsoever that he has presided over 5 wins in 39 matches.
He should not in any way, shape or form have any accountability for what is probably an unprecedented bad run in English football management.
It’s all the owners and Players fault. Poor Darren, I feel sorry for him.
Yawwwwnnnnn i mean welcome back me owd fruit
Nice to see your boys are doing so well without him

Carol won’t be throwing any money at anything. She didn’t when we got our highest gate average since 94/95 last season, so why start now?
We will have a reasonable budget for league 2 because we are a big club for the league with big gates for it, but it won’t be due to Carol deciding to bankroll much more.
We will see me owd fruit 🙂

I have to say out of the squad right now i would only be tempted to keep the young lads,Ripley,Chislett,Clark if he can stay fit and Garrity but I am unsure on Smith who is the battling kind of League 2 CB you need,also i think Ojo would be decent in League 2 but for me he doesn't want to be here,so looking like a major rebuild. I wouldn't want to keep any of the loan players thats for sure

Which would have cost less:
Signing someone like Johnson Clarke Harris in a bid to retain league 1 status.
Signing nobody, sacking and paying off Crosby & Dunn, and bringing in Moore & his 4 assistants, with relegation a very distinct possibility, with the catastrophic financial implications that relegation brings.
Sometimes, we have to accept that progress costs money. If someone tells you there’s a better way, they are bullshitting.
Totally agree Bede mate,hopefully she has learnt that lesson and the hard way,so lets see if she agrees to splash a bit of cash on that striker or two that will help to try and get us straight back up

As Aldershot just failed to make the playoffs, we should be straight in for Lorent Tolaj.
A league club will certainly take a punt with him like they did for the other Aldershot striker in January

Stevens from FGR has just gone out of the league and his contract is up his record below , what do you guys think
Was scoring plenty of goals for FGR then got a bad injury but came back scoring goals again,so it's a fair shout imo

Ojo doesn’t want to be here he will be off, players are forever moving clubs regardless of conctracts
Lets hope plenty do just that
I actually think Ojo would do ok in League 2 but as you say he hasn't wanted to be here since Crosby left

True but it’s hard to see how he galvanises any of the players. Could send a glass eye to sleep 🥱
Who cares though if he gets results next season?

I said in another thread how i would love to see us bring in a striker like Michael Smith/Lee Gregory(obviously the wages would need to be decent) but an experienced striker like either of those would score at League 2 level.... like Matt Smith did/does at Salford
Pie in the sky i know but we will see soon enough i guess

"A proven track record" 5 wins in the last 39 even with poor squads paints a different picture. Perhaps the "track record" only comes with a sizable budget. I guess only time will tell, or not.
Yes he has a proven track record,as i stated my thoughts on his time at Huddersfield and here,we can harp on about those 2 stints but at the same time we cant dismiss Sheff Wed,WBA and Doncaster where he managed to build at those clubs..... again only my opinion
Yes at a couple of those he would have sizeable budgets you would think but he still has to get players in so lets just see how he builds here in the summer,who knows come October i might be regretting my comments,hopefully i wont

Well he didn't name him . I'd of said the two I mentioned were the best 2 in the division. Let's remember Young couldn't get in the team and hit a hot streak.
Who knows with DF. Hot air little substance.
He scored 11 in 80 games. Then suddenly 16 in 25 at Swindon. Out with hamstring injury so he'd fit perfectly 😉
I thought at the time he said it was a player we could make money on in the future so that's why a good fee was involved(as you say though could be hot air as usual),he also said we were after an attacking full back from Sheff Wed and might go back for him in the summer....maybe that's still one for DM

I hope it doesn't. The youth players all need to go away on loan.
Tbf Doha Walters(who i thought lacked in a few games) has actually been one of the better players(not hard i know) in his last few games,Dipepa we know has done well at League one level,so i would be keeping those two near the first team squad next season,as for the other young lads you are probably right
Plant i dont really see now as one of the young lads,so he will be in the squad as well

You don't need to be a genius to compare signing Uche and Wilson with a lower end budget do you.
Alfie May quite possibly could of been a realistic target. Cheltenham are a smaller fish than us. Double his wages. Instead he went to Charlton.
Our departed DOF claimed ( personally think it's fantasy island talk ), that we went in for the best striker in League 2. So in my eyes thats Mullen or Langstaff. No proof have I but what a load of hot air . No chance we were in for them.
We might at a push of got a Sutton player.
You get what you pay for.
Wasn't that the lad from Bradford who scored for fun at Swindon? ah just remembered Young was his name,has he been playing for Bradford? maybe still a target

She lost me when she backed Moore again. Loyalty Carol backing the wrong horse again.
Not a dig,so you ditch a manager with like it or not a proven track record(not given time at Huddersfield to rebuild,they are still bottom 3 without him) after 16/17 games with NONE of his own players at all? Totally agree with everyone that the football has been very very poor maybe even worse and sadly for him he isn't the Adams type manager at interviews that some demand(it's what happens behind closed doors thats important to me).
We all have differing views on managers that come to Vale BUT one thing i will always do is give them a chance with their OWN squad and see where we go from there. only my opinion of course and again we all differ so i respect your views also
Onwards and Upwards me owd fruits

Going off what he said yesterday,it looks like we will build around the young lads Dipepa,Plant,Shorrock and Walters,although the last two are still to sign deals.
Summer transfer rumours and speculation
in Port Vale present
Posted
Yes I think we played him there but he was a winger,so plays as a winger or WB for Barnet
