I'd absolutely class Joyce as a 'good signing' for us, but after watching the last 10-15 games I'm afraid his legs have gone.

Players would just breeze past him and he'd always seem to pass the ball to the opposition more than us.

Yes, his stats are impressive, but stats without context can make anyone look good. I'm a big fan of analytics in football, but watching him live all season I agree with the decision to release him.

Good pro though and good luck to him.

Seems like Dan Jones has turned Harrogate down. Must have something lined up elsewhere? 👀

The left winger played well for them against us. Didn't realise he was on loan from Rangers. If I'd have been asked to pick one of their players he would have been my choice. Their holding midfield player also looked decent.

I had a look at the shrews forums, and while no one was particularly devastated that he left, pre announcement there was a decent number of there fans wanting him resigned.

We've replaced a 33 year old who didn't have his best season last year, with a 25 year old who fans of a team in the league above were hoping to keep hold of. Mind boggling the mentality of some vale fans to moan about a signing like this.

I wouldn’t usually listen to any opinions on a fans forum about a player, look at some of moans on here about our own better players at times. So it comes as no surprise that there’s grumblings from our own fans about this guy coming in for joyce.  Makes me wonder what people expect or are happy with.

I dont know of Ryan Johnson... I can see he is a 24yr old Defender who stands 6ft 2 and scored 5 goals last year for Hartlepool.

Is he a centre half?

Surely that one would depend on whether Hartlepool get promoted?

 

Makes no difference if Hartlepool are promoted or not

I was a big fan of Joyce and hope he gets fixed up at Oldham. Good pro and an excellent servant. I have to say, I'm encouraged by the start to the summer's recruitment, including the lads we're linked to. Got to be open minded, haven't you?

Joyce was a good pro and seemed a decent guy but looked way past it last season. Some of his performances were really bad. Can’t pass forward and players run past him. I’m surprised a league 2 side is after him, I can’t imagine it would be any more than a 1 year deal as he’s past it now.

Quote from the article, "Joyce’s ability to win possession high up the pitch and retain it was clear as he won the ball 80 times in the opponents half last season for Darrell Clarke’s side, second only to Jay Spearing in League Two. He also completed a team-high 1,479 passes for the Valiants, often starting many of Vale’s attacking moves from deep, creating 12 chances and notching four assists".

Although not the whole picture they appear pretty good and key stats for a player that some Vale fans don't rate.

I wonder if Flitcroft et al have those stats and stats for other released players in their databases as a benchmark for players to sign.
