I don't want to second guess the recruitment team but I'd imagine we'll sign a younger goalkeeper aged maybe around 22-25, who has maybe 10 / 20 or so appearances at League Two level. Basically someone to push Covolon for a first-team place, or to step in and do a reasonable enough job for a short run of games in case of injury or suspension.

I must be plugged into the Matrix

Maybe it's all gone a bit Good Will Hunting and the cleaner is actually the one behind the Matrix, making the subtle alterations to Flitters' algorithms that will prove to be the difference between promotion and mid-table...

if only we had a flux capacitor!😑

I don't know what I was expecting from our goalkeeper recruitment this summer, but two blokes with less than 50 games between them at national league or above wasn't it.

Don't know alot about Lucas or Adrian and I wish them the best. After talks of Vigouroux and the like this feels like an anti-climax.

7 signings all 6’ plus. Certainly not going to be out muscled this season.

Hopefully not but no guarantees. They might be like George O'Callaghan who would struggle in anything above a steady breeze.

Anti climax only for those who dont trust in the matrix. All will come good, I for one will be disappointed with anything less than the payoffs  this season.

We are not the only gig in town. Yes, to us, Vale are now a far more attractive proposition. But to the average player and agent what do they see? A club stuck in L2 who have been hanging around the lower reaches of the league not looking likely to get promoted. We are against other clubs who are probably taking chances by offering far higher wages. I hope and trust that we are keeping it within budget, which means that we will probably lose out on some players that we would like to bring in. So we aren't in a position to lord it over the other clubs and pick and choose who we sign, its a really fine job to the get some of the players we have. 

Look at the average age of the players we have signed. These are young, hungry, and in many cases physically impressive footballers. Its now down to DC to get them to gel into a decent outfit. Even at this stage with a few places in the squad still to be filled, I find it hard to see how we are not in better shape than in other close seasons. 

Let's get behind the team. We have got a team, manager, chairwoman hungry for success, lets see if the supporters can back them.

I think I need to see the matrix in action and successful before I'll invest my trust fully.

Happy to be proven wrong though, from the outside looking in a few of these signings have baffled me, but we a team of 5/6 looking over this now, who am I to question .

The stuff about not being the only gig in town and budgets all sounds very much like the stuff we heard during Askey's reign when he was bringing in utter rubbish like Whitehead while other teams picked up gems.

Yes, they could turn out to be tosh, there are no guarantees. But they will be young tosh, not experienced campaigners, hard to shift, on big wages.
