While the standard is massively different, Linfield have released Christy Manzinga. Who I believe is there top scorer from last season (20 odd goals from 40 appearances). Big strong tall striker who likes a goal or two

Saying that I remember vale were looking at Joel Cooper before he signed for the Oxford at the time. When he did finally come here he looked dreadful in his short cameos

Apologies. It was mark Sykes , I just noticed the Oxford-Lingfield and thought it was the same player 

 

Turns out Sykes is heading to Bristol City next season

I wouldn't read too much into players doing well in the NI Premier. To be honest Sykes is one of very few from the Northern Ireland league(in recent times) who's actually done well and made the grade even in the lower leagues in this country.

I'd imagine the standard in the NI Premier is on a par with the Welsh and Scottish lower leagues which is why you don't see many lads move to pro clubs in England from those levels, you may get the odd one who slips through the net but most are picked up at a younger age by academies if they are going to make it as a pro.

Thought Conlon did has Achilles tendon and needed surgery on it?  Takes a long time. Tendons heal very slowly.  I would have thought start of the season would be a big ask with somewhere nearer Christmas  being more realistic. Wonder what the situation is with Walker?

Would love Vale to get Finn Azaz from Villa on a 6 month loan, just in time for Conlon to get back. Probably wishful thinking as he'll be in the championship.

 That is dated April 26th and Tom himself says he has another 4 months out. So that takes us to the start of September.

Rehab and the fact he won't of kicked a ball for nearly 9 months. 

Maybe an October or November return ?

It's one thing playing Barrow and Harrogate with no TC, quite another to play Sheffield Wednesday and Ipswich. A long tense summer ahead with strengthening in all departments required. This is going to be a huge step up in opposition and we need a squad to match it.

I don’t see Tom being up and running to his full potential until the new year. We need to plan without until such time.

Holy <ovf censored> etc etc.

I still think he's a solid goalkeeper, suffered from one or two situations that the fans jumped on his back. If we hadn't had the issues with Cov then the noise probably wouldn't have been so loud. I wish the big lad well.

Very weird. Surely an UV mix-up? A proper Bruno signing.

Can only assume if its true its a trial to see what he's like.

I've lived between Australia and Stoke for the last 5 years, Marconi stallions who are listed as his youth team are one of the bigger second tier teams (semi-pro).
