I'd love us to sign Dodds, it would wind so many people up.

 

Doesn’t wind me up, if Aspin thinks he is able to do a good job then so be it. Everyone entitled to a view on players. In his time at Vale I wish he had played alongside Pope more often and been told to get in the box more often then he would have scored many more goals.

Unofficial vale has just tweeted a photo of a text conversation between him and Norman.

 

Unofficial Vale: Norman will Louis Dodds be returning this summer? [The rest of the text is scribbled out, but there does seem to be a work that starts with a D and has ffy at the end)

 

Norman: No [Word scribbled out beginning with a]

 

Unofficial Vale: Argh... always likes Louis [second part of text scribbled out]

 

Norman: So do I but has inflated value of himself did consider it but boy is in cuckoo land

 

 

 

Professional and decorous as ever.

“I’m really enjoying it. I think if you ask anyone what my preferred position is, it is in the hole where you get on the ball and you create things,” he said.

I am sure before that he had said his preferred position was right mid but I can't be bothered to look for it, sure you could find it if you liked though.

I found this though? Straight from the horses mouth.

 

We don't need Dodds anyway, there will be better options available.

If you're looking for a like for like replacement in the Whitfield position then Dodds would probably be as good as we're likely to get to come. It depends how Aspin sees it, whether that would be his preferred system again or if it was a pragmatic thing last season because he was worried about Waldorf and Statler getting overrun in midfield.

Oh my word,this Dodds fixation amazes me,went missing in games,one good game then hides in the next 8....started the season at a team chasing the Championship and couldn't get in that team(scored goals for them the previous season but must of then sussed him out,we couldn't do that in 8yrs) so went to a team facing relegation to non league and couldn't get in that team,blow me and people want us to improve the squad.....errrrrmmmm ok

Pie in the sky i know but i see Godden is leaving Stevenage and they want offers for a player with 12mths left on his deal(so thats the sticking point),i dont think it would take mega money to get him and a goal every other game is a decent return...prob end up league one though

Are you a child of the Gordon Lee era, like me? ...QUOTE]

 

I am - but it's a purely pragmatic approach, as adopted by the likes of Mourinho, amonst others - if you don't concede, it only takes one goal to win. Plus. as I've said before, the best 0 - 0 I've ever seen was at Vale Park v Sheff Utd...that was an incredible, end-to-end game yet no goals. Lack of goals need not mean lack of entertainment!

Absolutely agree with you. We can get better than Dodds now. Ok he was useful and at times half decent but spasmodically and went missing more times than I've watched Vale over the past 30 plus years. Get over Valiants, this mad, mad fixation on previous players for us! There's a big footballing world out there and Aspin will suss out who is going to push us forward. Dodds won't, imo.

I'll never forget the 0.1 home defeat to Middlesbrough back in the 90's. They nicked a goal, and we absolutely hammered them all game, but couldn't get past Scwarzer in their goal. First and only time I've seen a standing ovation and not 1 boo following a home defeat!
