Not a chance! I reckon 1 forward and then done!

That’s why I’m concerned mate. 
 

We need Uche replacement 

Josh Thomas replacement 

Ojo/ Garrity replacement

We are woefully short

Well if that striker comes in and only scores one goal and it’s the one it takes to win a tight game at the end of the season that keeps them up then goal ratios mean nothing. It’s also another body. When you need fresh legs or something to change things up a bit. With us being light on strikers we don’t have that opportunity. 

This isn't really the logic or reasoning I would be using if recruiting players but 'There you go'. Especially, the geezer being from non league, scoring 1 in 12. A bit desparate.

Like I say, they've paid their money. They're entitled to an opinion. That's reality. 

I don't get that. How does paying £20 odd quid a week make it perfectly ok for what are largely middle aged men to hurl abuse at players who, every week, try their best, even those who aren't good enough? On your logic, if a young shop girl doesn't serve me quick enough, it's acceptable for me to call her all the names under the sun and basically treat her like crap because I'm paying a quid for an item? But it only seems to apply to footballers

Agree! LWB as well. Hope I'm wrong. Just not feeling more than 1 forward. That said! The clock is ticking!

I do think Mighten is going to be our LWB personally

Forgot about the LWB. 

I think we will really struggle  if we don’t have a forward and LWB sign.

But what can you expect. If you have been that poor as loft has been fans aren’t going to be singing his praises. That isn’t just at the vale, that is every club 

Don’t expect anything to change.

Very difficult to sell Burslem/ Stoke to people from outside our area as it is with all this vitriol. I became a Vale fan fifty years ago because of the friendly / black humour of the supporters.  Seems to be long gone now in most cases.

Some people on here are either stupid or delusional if they can't see the vale are sinking but nevermind ,you crack on 

But - at the moment it's only your opinion!

And some people on here complain about name-calling and being abusive, too!

Thought this for a while. Football is a small exclusive club. Can you picture if a good lower league striker speaks to Ryan Loft about the Vale.

Should imagine the advice would be if you have another offer take it. 

If he is any good he has nothing to worry about. We love good players at Vale. Crap ones will always get a good booing! 

[Oggydoggy]

I reckon 10 pm signing the double

Always has been and always will be like that whether its right or wrong you're in the public eye! I'd love someone to call me sh** every week if it meant I was on their money! That's the reality. At the end of the day we pay money to see this as its our form of entertainment within the community as lont as its not taken to an extreme I.e harassment or threats then an opinion will always be that.

Sorry - but most of that is on a par with "with the money he earns how can he be depressed?"!

Mental health issues are no joke and shouldn't be treated as one!

Don't know that much about him, other than thought he was a winger or more attack minded player. Don't want him pinned back in our half defending. Want him further forward, giving the opposition something to think about.

Not really. Footballers are entertainers. If a rock band or stand up comic is rubbish, they get heckled or booed. A footballer isn’t just doing a job, at our level they are professionals.

That's BS!
