I have always said he needs a run of games so we can see what he is really about and he might get that now but as you say his pace has actually surprised me

We need a very pacy LWB one who can get forward and get back and as you say with Uche being injured we now need 2 strikers,i dont mind one being a quick young lad but one surely now has to be an experienced striker,we need to spend some money NOW not in the summer,we have got to stay in League One

I will be really happy when he signs his new deal because for me while Plant is injured he is the stand out player from the young lads,his cameo yesterday was very good as was his turn when he turned his man and attacked down the left... he has to start on Saturday for me

Previous owners i mean,i dont blame him one bit there. I dont really want to debate this on this thread though mate with it being the transfers one,pop onto the thread about it or feel free to pm to chat about it but i can see that we wont be agreeing with eachother at all on this one 🙂 I dont for one minute doubt you are all Vale though 🙂 people just have their opinions and thats fair enough

would you get involved with the other crooks??

Totally disagree He has done a lot more than people actually know,just because it's not publicised doesn't mean he has done nothing Also trust me over the years since his take that days he has probably brought in income of millions to the club just through publicising us and being linked to us,this will only improve that. How people can find something to moan about when something positive actually comes out of the club still amazes me but that's Vale i guess I do agree with your points on Taylor though

I dont think there will be any signing today so that poo poos the Bradford player,not that any of us expected that anyway 🙂

Not to sure it would be Hudlin unless Uche left as he is to similar to him and Loft really,my guess is he will be a bit like Harratt,pacy and can play off the bigger striker

DF did say last night that the lwb they wanted had to be quick powerful and be attacking

When you ask where has the money gone,which money do you mean??

Outstanding how many has JCH scored this season and how many games Goodwin played,so if we had spent near on 1m on those 2 and they scored 5 each what would you be saying then?? You cant say any player will guarantee greatness,thats silly

You have to spend money for that to work. Peterbrough spend millions to make millions. who have they spent millions on? just interested They didn't start off by spending millions though

They also said that we want to follow the Peterborough and Brighton model of developing players and then selling them on,the board have agreed that the more the model progresses and the more money that comes in then it will be spent on improving the team,bringing in the high calibre players we all want

He said he is getting calls every day about our players and they are braced for more interest in them over the coming days,i reckon someone will be leaving for money.

Could it be an attitude issue or the wage he wants,it could be a few things i guess

I wonder if the non league lad we looked at who went Brentford was Ben Krauhaus

He also said one of our first targets was a premier lwb on loan but he chose to go to a Belgian club

I have just listed what DF has said on Radio Stoke tonight

we are getting closer to a deal with Walters,he wants to sign for the club,his mum wants him to sign for the club so its edging closer and Shorrock has been offered something DF was quite open tbf but it looks like we are looking for a loan striker and lwb

The non league market has become to expensive now,one we looked at has gone Brentford We will probably wait until the summer to put the money into a striker(like we did with the keeper last summer) when more will be available

We are looking at the Scandinavian markets and Australian now as we have scouts there along with Ireland and Scotland,we are talking to some agents in Australia. Looking at an aggressive lwb from a premier league club,one that likes to take players on and is quick

we have moved on from initial targets and you can get some good strikers out of Premier League 2

So DF has given some info tonight on Radio Stoke

Josh Vela has left Fleetwood to join Carlisle,along with Reading it looks like Fleetwood could start to lose their players as well with rumours of them wanting to get rid of Marriott and Stockley off the wage bill

Just out of interest does anyone remember when we last played..... it seems like it was around 1986
