Summer transfer targets/rumours, retained list etc

[andy jones]

From what DC has said it may be end of August when the business is completed.

No doubt it will become clearer tomorrow at SC meeting.

You can dress it up any way you want but the fact is that we currently have 14 fit senior players and the season is 10 days away. 

I dont know why i get involved but i will bite just to cheer you up

I say again i saw no posts from you congratulating the management team on promotion and doing that with their astute summer signings BUT here you are nearing the start of another season spreading all your negative vibes.

I am all for difference of opinion on here but you are just a special case tbf,if you actually balanced your views up instead of just clearly hating DC for whatever reason(the majority on here,even those who weren't sure on DC joined as one when he suffered the tragedy he did but again i dont remember one post off you on that but i guess thats left to you).

We will have a squad ready to compete in League One like it or not,so try to enjoy the season and for what its worth i think we will do ok

Onwards and Upwards(I would say we are all Vale aren't we but i seriously dont think we are)

Blackman will sign today/tomorrow.

Rumours persist regarding Lowery and T Walker.

I guess they are all just rumours but i would be quite happy with all 3 of those

I think it's the Danny Johnson who is at Mansfield and was at Orient before. Seem to remember he had a good season at Orient before heading to Mansfield and for whatever reason not quite fired there.

Averages roughly 1 in 2 so he would be fine

Has he been officially linked with Walsall or is it just fans talking?

[Alsager Whites]

The good news is that we're getting closer and closer to Vale fans pulling long finished players out of thin air and claiming they can 'do a job'! Best time of the year.

Any sweepstakes running? Who will be mentioned first?

My bet is on Zoumana Bakayogo.

I hear that the offer we made him wasn't that good - and that he would have been nowhere near the highest paid player at the club if he'd signed. Whether that's fair with his injury record or whether DC wanted him out anyway (I've also heard rumours about his antics off the pitch), who knows. We'll have to wait 10/15 years for DC's autobipgraphy to find out. Either way, he's not at the club anymore and we move on.

All he wanted was a 2 year contract"

I would prefer it if you didn't allude to mental health issues in a lighthearted way on a public forum.

We will have a squad ready to compete come the Fleetwood game but like DC said a couple will probably be later on,i guess that's clubs who wont release until they get a replacement in

Strong accusation there and if you think that or know any of my family then you would know that is the last thing i would take the pee out of but if you could point out the bit where i have alluded to mental health issues then i will happily apologise me owd fruit but you are drastically wrong here and if you find that you are wrong i will also await your apology in return, thanks

For whatever reason we didn’t see fit to offer one, another team did.  I would add that no way on earth is it purely about length of contract, unless the two offers were pretty close, and there are suggestions that this was not the case.

For those worried about the lack of signings we could have  been a penalty kick away from buying LOADS of players.  Swindon have signed 13  !!

So your words "special case" didn't allude to mental health issues, if so I apologize.

And wouldn't all 3 signings be worth the wait.

RZ, that's not the way I read it but I know from experience, as I'm sure most on here would agree, sometimes the written word doesn't exactly come across the way it would appear verbally.
