Transfer Rumours Pre-Season

I want the club to be ambitious and no one can knock what Carol and Kev are doing at the club, however I don't want the club to break the Bank for him. If we are going splash out on a proven striker go for a younger less injury prone one.

I'm increasingly doubtful we'll get Maynard.  If he'd wanted to sign surely he'd have done so by now - he's just auctioning himself about.

Maynard would be perfect for this season. The one thing we missed last year was a goal scorer. Cullen can do the job but I don’t expect him to be fit for the whole season. If Maynard can get around 20 we will be in the play offs. 

 

Id still like to see a lb sign possibly just as back up. A back up keeper. Hopefully a younger player who we can develop rather than someone who has been round the blocks as a number 2. 

For me personally I’m not 100% sold on the midfield yet. Looks strong on paper however manny will more than likely be injured for large parts of the season and we lost our best Cm in Taylor. Wouldn’t mind seeing someone of that ilk joining, with a bit of creativity. Conlon could fit that but has always been very inconsistent. 

It will be difficult to replace Taylor's contribution in midfield,especially his goals.

I agree about breaking the bank, think Vale are too astute these days to go down that road. 

I think with your last paragraph, proven strikers tend in the main to be experienced. 

If I include some of last season's players too, Pope, Ajose, Maynard, Porter, Doyle ,

All the wrong side of 30, not many younger proven strikers are about. 

We don't necessarily need a 15-20 goal striker to be successful but there is a big gap to fill with the goals Taylor got from Midfield. A top striker leaves less onus on the midfield to chip in.

I honestly despair with some Vale fans...

Is it bred into our DNA that we have to seek out negativity????

As I'm typing this, we've have just launched the nicest football strip I can remember, designed by an international superstar, we are linked with a top name striker and everything should be positive.

The club and its directors are responsible for this positivity. They also try hard to engage with fans via social media to keep us updated, something we all cried out for in the past.

At the VERY worst, there has been crossed wires over a tweet Martin sent out late last night.

All this talk of 'he's played us like a fiddle' if quiet frankly pathetic.
What has he got to gain by 'misleading' fans?

We are all disappointed that Maynard has not been announced this evening, but let's start acting our age and stop looking for someone to blame.

👏  Great post mate, agree entirely with your thoughts.

Kai Havertz to Chelsea., Ben Chilwell to Chelsea, Jadon Sancho to Manchester United, Gabriel Magalhaes to Arsenal and Thiago Alcantara to Liverpool...

I rest my case. Have patience. Things take time.

Hallum Hope scored 2 for Swindon today in a friendly. Seems unlikely we'll get him if he's involved in the 1st team still?

They lost 4-3 to Ashton and he came off the bench,so not first choice it seems. I am also sure i have seen that they are skint and arent they also under some sort of investigation?

Agreed, but he didn't play from January and our form didn't dip.

Yes maybe Burgess can replace Taylor and his goals,it also looks likely that Conlon will chip in with a few and DTS could be a surprise,so i arent that worried at not getting Taylor back or replacing him..... sooner see Clark back though
