The tweet is still there.

My mistake. Can see it now

Really looking forward to Vale's recruitment plans over the coming weeks. Will have to go some to replace Scott Brown and Popey in league 2. 

Delighted to see Bury and Macc rising like phoenix from the flames.

Any posters who might be looking down their noses at the football levels they are having to come in at should try attending local matches at that level when Vale not playing. Really enjoyable times at Leek, Hanley Town, Milton United, Newcastle Town and Kidsgrove league matches in 2019. Proper football amidst good footballing folk and decent beer makes for a great time and excellent value.

Garrity does seem to fit what Clarke wants in midfield, ie high energy and get about the pitch.

But doesn’t praise him enough to get him themselves.

Josh Gordon is currently sunning himself in Portugal. Could be him but doubt they'd announce without the token pitch side photos etc...

Would be great.

Interesting: just reading an article about how he rejected a contract offer from Walsall 6 months ago... it says they finished “mid-table”. Erm.......... I think you’ll find that was us son, not you.

Garrity signed for a fee. No indication of contract length. Clarke has him down for Oyeleke's shirt.

I missed this the first time round.

There's a hashtag on the tweet #Garrity2023

Undisclosed fee, must rate him. Sounds like a player we don’t really have, box to box high energy. Sounds promising.

Fair enough didn't see that, just sped read the article. 

That's Joyce and Oyeleke ticked off so far then, from what these articles suggest.

Welcome Ben

Oldham fans are not complimentary at all... very bad in fact.

BUT... There are plenty of examples of loan players doing nothing in their first full run out for a team and them developing and becoming good players. Shodipo at QPR stands out as one example who was pants for us, then went on to pay for QPR in the championship and scored 10 goals at Oxford in league 1 last year.

Ben was a none league wonderkid who Blackpool took a punt on and saw enough in him to extend his contract because they knew they could get a fee for him.

DC says: 

“Ben is a young, hungry and ambitious footballer who we are delighted to bring to Port Vale. He’s got great energy and fitness levels and I see him an attacking number 8 capable of the box-to-box role.

“He enjoyed a successful season on a personal level at Oldham and I believe he has got more goals in him. We are very pleased to have secured his signature and looking forward to working with him in pre-season and beyond and helping Ben to kick on further.”

Cameron Norman, the 6ft2 right back from Walsall who their fans rated has signed for Newport

Seems some sort of cult figure at Blackpool judging by the tweets.

Welcome lad and let's face it who takes any note of Oldham fans opinions. Not me .
