Transfer Window: Vale ins, outs, rumours etc...

[PVFC_4_EVA]

In fairness to grant when he was suspended he went to every away game. That to me doesn't sound like he doesn't care

Completely agree, don't know where people get this from.

 

Plus and it's important we haven't won a game without him this season!!!

[Fosse69]

It's a pity brown can't sort him out, we have all had days at work and think I want out. But if he wants off, let him go.and use his wage on another player.

Brown has to sort it if it is upsetting the morale of the team, maybe hoping for a better offer for him, I expect him to go. But the old Grant would be worth keeping.

To be honest unless a decent offer may as well keep until he goes on a free... great we get 50k for him but with our record without him in the XI it may cost us more if we sell and go down!

What points to him upsetting team morale?

Punishment?

Fosse69 said 'if'. Maybe he isn't, that's Browny's call, personally I'd like to see Grant back to form and still at the Vale as he's a class act in this league when he wants to be. We'll have to see.

:clap:

 

You've obviously done a few away games too!

Where is the proof Grant does not want to play for Vale?

His transfer request was down to being ill advised by his agent and this was alluded to by Smurf at the start of the season.

His form has undoubtedly dipped, however this is due to the general malaise within the club/team . The majority of other players form is shocking but they don't seem to be targeted like Grant is. For me he is still our best midfielder by a mile and anyone who suggest Amoros is the replacement/answer needs carting off by the men in white coats.

Get off the lads back, he has been in the away end at games like Charlton and others and yet is a man who is desperate to get away.

If we get an acceptable offer then yes maybe let him go, once he has gone we can then get another scapegoat to slag off instead.

Nothing, I said if, otherwise it is a selection decision or waiting for a better offer.

From what I've seen of Amoros, it's very harsh to say that he couldn't eventually be as good or better than Grant in the DF role - especially if he is coached by Michael Brown.

The same journo who came out with the story that we had turned down two bids last night has come out today with a story that one of the bids was worth 120K.

 

If we have turned that down then weve made a mistake. I'd snap their hands off who ever it is.

Out of all the foreign signings, Amoros and De Freitas have the most potential I think. Kiko too possibly.

 

If we ever do this mental foreign signings thing again can they all come from AS Monaco like those two did please.

No doubt Norman enjoys chatting to the multi-billionaire and the royal joint owners. As long as the players have been thoroughly checked and they can get visas in the future could be an option.

Well if you recall after we played Benfica in pre-season at St Georges Park apparently we were now best mates and were going to strike a deal for lots of co-operation in the future.

 

I'm not so sure about the likelihood of that going ahead now with Ribeiro's departure. Browny better break out the Rosetta Stone software and stick the Portuguese disc in.
