Squad at the mo:

Gk: Stone, Covolan

LWB: Benning, Hussey

CB: Smith, Hall, Cass, Martin, Jones

RWB: Worrall, Robinson

CMs: Pett, Garrity, Taylor, Walker, Conlon, Charsley

ST: Proctor, Wilson

17 players

Needs

ST x 2 - suspect one of those will be a young loanee. Wouldn’t be surprised to see us bide our time and go for a real quality option to compete with Wilson and Proctor.

RWB x 1

CB x 1

Would also be good to bring in 1 or 2 who can play wide midfield. Again a loanee may fit in here. That would give some tactical options.

We might be a little quieter than other sides because we’ve got the core of the side already in place. Quality additions at CB, RWB and ST would set us up nicely.

Im neither, but regular visits to the Walsall forum give me the strong impression that he is unlikely to be playing again. We can and will do better. 

If he's not going to play again, we can definitely do better than that!!!

On the verge of signing Mallik Wilks from Hull too, who got 19 goals in L1 last time around.

Definitely going to be top 2 I'd say.

With their setup, ground and fans Wednesday shouldn't be lower than the Championship!!

Re the cryo-chamber:  it’s a pity we didn’t have it 25 years ago, we could be thawing out 4 or five of that team now and be pushing for promotion! 😜

Seriously, yes I saw that mentioned and I think DC also mentioned using pitch-side physio tables in the semi-final to use before extra time/penalties to freshen up players legs etc  - all part of starting to bring  the off-field capabilities of the club up to Championship standards.

 

Indeed, in fact that could be a great topic, Favourite players you’d love to thaw out. 🥶

On a more serious note, I often worry about the use of these cryo chambers in sports therapy.  How the hell do you get out of them?  I can’t help but think back to the time I got my tongue stuck on that ice lolly.

Do you ever wonder whether it's worth the time and energy? Having to explain the same scenario time and again is like pulling bloody teeth...without a hen!

Is it worth the time and energy having to explain that you don't have to agree with every decision that the club makes ever? And that this is a forum? You know, a place of debate? To discuss things happening at the club?

Yawn!

The last bastion of an awful argument, Correcting spelling emoji42.pngemoji42.png.

At least Iron Curtain comes up with some reasoned points

Oddly, IC have often agreed on this thread! The true last bastion is not knowing you're using a flawed argument never mind!

Jones and Robinson make us a squad of 19

Cheers, good to see the squad written down, should calm the nerves of a few 😄 Although you’ve missed Dan Jones and Sammy Robinson out, which takes us to 19.

I think by the end of the transfer window we’ll see at least 6 signings coming in. Vale like to keep their cards close to their chest these days (which I like), but I’m confident we’ll do the business required.

DC/DF are always striving to improve, and will be in for players which will improve the first eleven. This takes time as they are in demand. Just enjoy the ride, I’m sure next week will bring a signing or two 😉

If there is any truth in the Cadden rumour he played on the left for FGR, would that mean we are looking to offload Hussey? 

I think your argument is flawed. You should be comparing it to the players that were brought in to play wing back that he was keeping out the side. I think you’d be very surprised what he was on. I have no reason to disbelieve the person that told me that he was on hundreds rather than the thousands of those comparable players (Benning and Hussey). Benning played just slightly more games, but in my eyes I think it’s fair to say both those players offered less to the side in terms of their contributions over the games they played. I also think you’ve got a very short memory with the amount of assists and goals he was involved in over the course of the season. I wouldn’t have thought that and the effect he had on the side was in doubt? Whilst he may not have been binned off as such, the very strong rumours swirling around from people within that our offer was so low it effectively ensured he was forced out no matter how much the manager may have wanted to keep him. Shame really, but the king is dead long live the king and hopefully we have someone lined up because we need backup/competition for Worrall on that side. 

Confirmation of what we all know - Gibbo left for more money. Don’t blame the lad at all - it’s a short career. He needs to go where he can make the best wage. Similarly, the club has to decide what risks to take and what not to take. Neither side has done anything wrong.

Been interesting to read this thread.
When it comes to modern day contracts didn't Garlick say that a players contract now is a very comprehensive document that takes in a multitude of aspects and issues?
The days of a set wage contract written on the back of a fag packet are long gone 
Gibbons or any other players potential earnings will be hugely variable.on a multitude of things including appearances, fitness, availability, etc etc.
Wasn't Gsrlick voted EFL Chief Exec of the year? So I would put my faith in him DC and DF before believing any mates of mates of the player.
