Summer transfer targets/rumours, retained list etc

I seem to remember he was more the throw his weight around/hold up type of striker from the playoff semi against Mansfield when I watched the 2nd leg on TV? Played well in that sense but lacked end product(as did Northampton full stop tbh!!).  His goal record would indicate that as well(although early in his career).

If you’re one of the Krays and they are those type of negotiations. I’ll be liking all your posts from now on.

Good point, maybe he's taken a packed lunch in with him in case the negotiations drag on.

Send him around to the Oatcake shop!😆

Nothing wrong with a sturdy holdall. All sorts of reasons he might want to bring it with him. Don’t be so quick to judge.

I'm not going to pull you up on this either Alsager Whites. I wouldn't feel comfortable doing that to someone who was so wrong and unnecessarily spread concern amongst the forum. I'm not that kind of person to highlight how wrong you were.

I also just want to touch on previous comments about people confusing posts from forum members who are not complaining but highlighting where issues are. I don't think anyone has any problem with that, I don't think anyone sees it as moaning, I don't anyway. My issue has always been the posts saying that the transfer window has been a disaster and it was the middle of July. The tone of a message can also be misunderstood and when it's constant posts about the same thing it gets a bit tiresome hearing the same drum being beat when as has proven, you just needed to be a bit patient, which is what they have been told throughout. 

This is a rumours thread, it is based on speculation, wishlists and dreams, but you should still be held accountable for your opinions if you're posting with absolute certainty on that opinion. What tends to happen is someone has an outlandish view (we're not signing anyone before the season starts/Wilson is out until Christmas), they drill that view home for days, signings start coming in/Wilson reveals he is out for no more than a few weeks, forum member disappears or won't hold their hand up and say they overreacted and got it wrong. Which is what happens on Twitter.
And me personally, I really like this forum, it feels very much a community for our passion - Port Vale FC. For the most part, it feels less disposable than Twitter where people just say toxic things without the need to be held responsible for what they say. 

Really excited for the new season, cannot wait to be in the ground tomorrow afternoon. Swindon at home and Wembley feels like a lifetime ago and not 8 weeks. 

And can't wait for 2pm when the team is announced and we get an idea of what Clarke is looking to do with the players from last season and the new ones that have come in.

Spot on

about him but considering how close Northampton came to going up last year, if they want him back he must have done well.

It’s not him .it is victor Moses 

[Dr Delgado]

Am I right in understanding he is Belgian?

52 years young according to that page - hope he’s not one for the development squad 😳

[Lornelounger]

Am I right in understanding that he is 52 years old according to the date of birth on that link?  I mean Kevin Ellison's done well, but that is ridiculous...

This was the photo I was sent from the person that told me. Could very well be him but hard to tell from the picture quality.

Mate!! This is exactly what this thread is all about. Camped out in the car park, telephoto lens attached, waiting.

It was mentioned a few pages back that they need to be registered before midday today to feature but could be announced at any time. In January did we play a team at home that announced a player on Saturday morning and they featured in the side? (obviously they were registered before midday the previous day) I'm sure it was the club that were ravaged by injury and had youth players in the team.

Yes!! I think thats who it was.

You wouldn’t put it past DC to hold a signing or two back until the last minute. Anything that would offer the slightest advantage over the opposition is how he works. He’ll be doing his homework on Fleetwood as he would expect them to do in reverse. Can’t wait, I’ve got a spontaneous and repetitive bounce in one of my knees. Bring it on.
