All subjective, obviously.

Would drop Thomas, Johnson, and Edmonson down a tier.

Would move Benning to good. Would move Martin to good.

Pretty fair. I would say for L2 ( the league they initially signed to play) Cass and Jones were very good signings rather than mixed and Chizzy for me is mixed but that’s splitting hairs.

Either way signings are more good than bad however this highlights L1 signings we have struggled. Doesn’t fill me with confidence we will get a good January transfer window.

Probably more reflective of us being a relatively wealthy league 2 and a low budget league 1 club.

George Lloyd scored a brace for Darrell on boxing day, as it happens. But yeah he was pants for us and that's a pretty fair list.

All subjective as you say, I wouldn't have Thomas politic or Leutwiler near the good column. Pretty fair list though!

43% success rate of signings based on your list, 37% on mine.

Arblaster has been recalled by Sheffield United. A blow, and another hole to fill.

It’s a report from the Sheffield Star. Better hope Alfie Devine doesn’t get recalled otherwise will be starting from scratch in midfield almost.

Humongous loss.

For us oldies the best loan impact I've seen since David Lowe.

A fantastic young talent. Goes back with best wishes for a great career.

Over to our recruitment now.

No two ways about it. Realistically there isn’t going to be a like for like replacement we can bring in. Personally if it was my call I’d go with Alfie in that deeper role, he was pinging it around beautifully in that Barnsley game so maybe that’s the way to go. Be interesting how this affects say Conlons expected departure too.

Fair play to Sheff U, at least they’ve been up front so we can get a head start on things in the January window so no excuses for us like it was a last minute recall. But good luck to Oli, been a genuine pleasure seeing him play for us.

To not see Arblaster in a Vale shirt again would be a massive shame.

Great loan signing and destined for big things in the future.

I think Conlon is done. It's sad how it's panned out as 2 years ago he was our best player. 

Possibly too laborious for the way we try and play now. And if he couldn't make the bench v Barnsley then when will he .
