Anyway made up for young Bailey signing and the positive words from his family. Obviously very grounded young man with great support around him realising he has to take it slow and be settled in a positive environment to bring him on for the future
Missed this - elaborate?

Totally disagree.
It's not about the stats and the only manager to come out to say anything about Uche was the Charlton manager that's actually come out & said anything about him unless you can show me any other articles different.
Uche was a player that was about to get thrown out of the club until AC stumbled on a formation at half time against Barnsley to save his own bacon.
Uche's then gone on to have, what 2 & half decent games which for some reason made him a messiah amongst Vale fans, where before Barnsley he was useless.
When AC gets players back from injury & and one or two more additions in, then he is going to revert back to the possession football that we had been playing because that's the way that AC wants us to play & he's said many many times this season that is our ID & philosophy.
When he reverts back to that, then Uche will be useless again but with what I have seen with Uche already, it's not going to take a switch of formation to render him not very good again.
Have you ever tried looking at the bright side of life?

Why didn’t he play for 8 months? As far as I’m aware, it’s not because of injury. If that is the case then there is no excuse for not being fit, he’s a professional footballer and is paid to keep fit and ready to play if needed. I understand the case for match sharpness but that should not take more than a month to get back to full speed. He’s been with us plenty of time to be fully up to speed unless there is an underlying injury that we are not aware of, but saying that it should have been picked up by our medical team when joining the club.
If there is an underlying problem, it's not stopped him has it? Nor have the opposition defences, more to the point. Anyone else remember Asa Hartford, hole in heart, failed medical at Leeds, wonderful career thereafter.
Let's hope Uche does the same for us. At least Divine Intervention will be a happy bunny now!

So, is that the end of all the excitement for a while? Hopefully next week we'll have some footy to talk about.

He covers all the top league transfers and usually has reliable inside information and often reports signings before clubs media's confirm and is wrong hardly ever. He has over 19 million followers on twitter
And Fab has finally caught up with the mighty PVFC - he's finally hit the big time!

It'll be interesting to learn what's happened with Uche. If he's not going that'll leave us with one mightily disappointed striker on our hands. Not ideal, by any means.

I see Ladapo has signed for Charlton this evening, but not Uche, yet.

Interestingly he's now being linked to Derby and Charlton.
😱😱😱

So, he averages around 4/5 a season, then?His career with 47 goals to his name you mean? -
Just a thought, with Vale having done so well by Alfie and Blaster, might we have clubs trying to poach our coaches? Or even our Manager?

Cole Stockton signed for Barrow on loan until the end of the season.
Really can't fault Barrow, they're certainly going for it. Good to see after decades in the wilderness.

Apparently, Rhys has made 19 appearances for Liverpool first team, including in the Premier League and Champions League.

I thought he looked quite good technically in the brief period we saw but he needs to learn when to try the tricks and when to just hoof it away, he did some clever footwork in our penalty area while Reading where attacking and then put the ball into an area where it was picked up by a Reading player in a good position to attack our goal. Bit like Devine did against Charlton which led to one of their goals. Overall I think he will be OK, especially since he has already played with Devine but he needs to adapt to mens football which is a different mix of technical ability and bloody mindedness.
He's already played a fair bit of men's football, don't forget.

Re Thomas, he is a good player and should have been played more.Disappointing. Good player.-

Just a thought ...
In the Rudge years we bought players cheaply. Sold them on when playing well then used a proportion of the sale to buy the replacement to develop and then sell on etc etc
Is Garrity and Weir the rebirth of that ideology perhaps? Considering one is injured and the other only a loan not a permanent signing I am jumping a lot of bridges, heart ruling head of course. Just dreaming that any possible sale of Garrity could be a positive and not a disaster for us.
Lots of dreaming and assuming going on there, methinks! 😉

Ben Garrity is out for "several weeks" so surely we need a replacement for him now, before we are dragged into the relegation mire?
AC said after the game that Garrity's is now a 'long term injury'. 😩

I see Carlisle signed 3 yesterday, inc Armstrong from Harrogate.

Big shout out for Andy Crosby and his team. He's taken a lot of stick, some very unfair, IMO. Pleasant to actually read a match thread, for a change.

He has expressed the same anti-Smith viewpoint in 378 previous matchday threads, across a few different accounts. Here is to another 378 matchday threads with him bemoaning Smith being the the team!
Yet, Divine Intervention actually picked Smith in his predicted lineup. I think he's forgotten that.

If there is any truth in this, there's presumably a danger he won't sign pro forms at 17 and we won't get the pay day if he moves on.
-
Wilder clearly preparing for next season in the Championship, when Blaster could be a key player. He's out for another 4/6 weeks anyway, so we obviously had to move on now.

Arblaster has been recalled by Sheffield United. A blow, and another hole to fill.

How do you know we will revert back? If, as seems likely, Uche stays, I really can't see Vale changing how they play, unless forced to by injuries.
