Jake is a good player and brings a different dimension to our team. I understand that they can’t publish the offer or what NFFC value him at. So I wonder if we can afford to increase our bid, if not then we will have to look to add a sell on clause or pull the plug on the deal. C&K have stated that they’re not going to spend all the revenue raised from the MCFC game on just purchasing players. I for one support their decision as we have to look at preserving the club for the future.

Agree, can’t blow our windfall on 1 player.

The offer we have made will have been worked out by C&K along with Askeys advice, I would offer slightly more and that would be that, Sproson has smelt the Cup run money and will do what he can to get as much of it as possible for his client and his company,me on the other hand want whats best for the Vale and that means not throwing money about just because I've got it in my pocket.

Fortunately C&K have said the cup money wont go on just purchasing players,I applaud that,let the word get around we wont be held to ransom.

We have got the out of contract players to sort out as well as well as the day to day running costs of the club so I'm sure we will cut our cloth accordingly.
