As much as I would love to see Norwood coming to Vale as a short term option to cover the injuries we've now got to our two main front men, DC puts a lot of emphasis on character - so would he fit within that ethos, given the comments on his off the field issues? just to add, I don't think we'll have any chance of getting him given his current wages but we may have held some funds back ready for January to invest depending on where we are, to try to push us on to gain Play Offs at the minimum.

Exactly. Isn't he a bit of a pleb. Drink driving and bit of a wide boy. 40 month driving ban he received which given our pathetic justice system is some hit. 

It's not the type of ' character' I see Clarke wanting 

Really it's a case of making do anyway now. January is loan time by which time Proctor will be back .

Wouldn't get a loan in until January. It would have to be like Robinson where he became a free agent following contract termination. 

The likelihood of anybody remotely decent still not having a club at the end of November is minimal. 

It would be as you say an out of contract player or somebody similar to Eagles or Bikey who have been playing in Tanzania or Tuvalu

I’d take Jake Beesley from Rochdale who scored against us if we could get him. He looked very useful I thought, although the 18 months he’ll have left on his contract will cost.
If we'd have signed Beesley instead of Rochdale, there would have been the meltdown to end all meltdowns with his prior goal record!

Can he defend?

Most Vale fans were screaming for us to sign a forward when Wilson joined Proctor on the sick bench. Realistically  if we are to chase a promotion spot we absolutely first of all need a big, ugly, nasty header and ruffian of a player in the centre of our soft defence.

Also, I think we have missed Proctor as a makeshift defender when set pieces are conceded around our box 

When you don't have Peoxtor and Wilson in the team that's 2 6ft plus players missing when defending.

It’s a fair point but it doesn’t matter if you’re 7ft 2 if you don’t mark your opponent.   The first goal was shambolic defending,  the Sproson statue would’ve offered more.
