New players

[melv]

I noticed that Smurf has said that if we have to play next season using Conference kids then so be it,great way to sell season tickets smurf

 

Another attempt at emotional blackmail and send fans on a guilt trip.

[melv]

For whatever reason part of me thinks smurf doesn't want to sell any season tickets

 

Not yet while they are a the cheaper price.

I am losing all faith in Smurf now to be honest,i even think if you read what he says about a ceo he thinks he can do a better job,i really do wish he would **** off now.

[old sage]

So it looks like Smurf has proved all of the 'Doubting Thomas's ' right. At the moment I could cheerfully smack him on his pompous condescending nose. He is turning Port Vale into a laughing stock and I for one won't be 'black mailed' into buying another ST.

Put roy's statue in the middle of the park would be more useful at the moment.

 

And just as mobile!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Knott and Cuvelier are musts, also Grimmer if Fulham will let him leave. I would also like to see us pinch a few of sheff utds forwards, baxter, king, porter, miller or brandy

 

Still think we need a left winger or right winger and swap JMW over.

 

I think we need to ship out the deadwood we re-signed at the start of the season firstly though, it would probably equate to the ridiculous prices and attendances smurf is putting in our budgets. Chilvers, Taylor, Dodds, Shuker, Birchall, Mohamed are not good enough for this league.

They won't realise Grimmer and if they do he will go to a championship club, I would add Tomlin,Griff and Jones to that list to get rid of as well

[werstayinup]

Holding midfielder - Toumani Diagouraga from Brentford. Decent amount of experience, scores the odd goal, 6"4 and a better Griff.

 

Just thinking of this guy.....if we don't offer Griffith and Lines contracts maybe we can offer him and Knott something(cheaper options too maybe).however I do think if Adams is still in charge he will offer Griff something as he does like him.

[Volcano]

I think Rob Taylor and Chris Birchall should be given a chance till the end of the season to prove themselves if they are worthy of a new contract. As we're now safe from relegation and have nothing to play for.

Dodds does score a decent amount of goals from midfield (even though he rarely plays a full 90 minutes) and can play in lots of different positions. I think he may be needed a lot next season as we'll have a much smaller squad and when we injuries/suspension we'll have decent cover. Also, I've noticed dodds is rated highly amongst opposition fans and many teams fans would happily have him in their squads.

No we wont need him at all. He turns up for 4 games a season and for some reason some fans think he is a world beater. The amount of games that I have seen Dodds play in and actually not noticed him on the pitch is far too many. He is a fairly decent league 2 player but way out of his depth. I also cant say ive ever heard an opposition fan comment of how good he is this season. Birchall can go, he has been a waste of time since joining, certainly hasnt lived up to expectations. Rob Taylor is like dodds, decent every known and then but we have carried players like these for long enough, time for him to go, probably to a low league 2/ conference side.

I agree but Grimmer wont be released, if he was someone better would sign him, thats my worry with Knott as well, all the players you mention should leave as you say, they are way out of their depth.

I have to be honest and say well I hope he is free to join one of those teams in the summer and we can then bring someone in who might get in the team

[werstayinup]

Well it will certainly be an interesting few weeks coming up as teams start to release players and add that to us trying to secure the/a manager and our out of contract players,an important few weeks indeed

[Mark-Valiant]

Ex Vale defender Charlie Raglan's (21) signed for Chesterfield from FC United. Got released by us in 2012.
