I'm assuming Uche's wages and fee would have gone towards whoever it is that we couldn't persuade to sign yesterday

Of course, but any news on why yesterdays move fell through? Was it a knock on at the loan club? Who was it?

According to the official website's Crosby interview...

• Ojo ahead of schedule - "next couple of weeks"
• Jones - back in full training
• Plant - "back on the grass" (hopefully he means the training pitch) 
• Garrity and Ikpeazu - on the long-term list (Uche was said to be 12 weeks)
• No mention of Mitch Clark but I presume he's still some way away too

 

 

Rob, can you please clarify, what you mean when you say Plant, ‘back on grass’.? Does he have some sort of rheumatoid problem is it some sort of alternative medicine.

Just been talking to a couple of forest fans who said that Mighten played Central striker all the way through their academy and has played there a few times for the first team. They mainly played him wide in the first team to bed him in, but they say he was very good in academy up front and his pace frightens people and its probably his more natural position. 

They cheered me up slightly, but you can guarantee that we'll play him left back regardless.

... I thought Jones had been back in full training for at least 2 weeks, possibly 3, so when is he going to be available to play?  Perhaps when the sports scientists give their permission? What would they do if Jones said and felt that he was fully fit, but the sports mob said he hadn't been out for the required recovery time, as per their medical book?

Didnt I read that Wednesday didn't manage to sign the player they were after and, as such, we didn't get Michael Smith

Introducing our latest strike force Chorizo & cheese! Most likely to get bums off seats, make you smile & unite this adorable fan base. Whether you like to moan or clap away, i'm kind of in between let's get behind the lads & get the 3 points tomoz. We're all Vale aren't we. Enjoy your weekend guys, stay safe, enjoy the football & look after your families. That's what's important not how many goals Loft has scored in his career. If you can't be happy have an oatcake 👊🏻💙

 

 

 

I'm going to need a lot of oatcakes then 🙏

As Flitcroft said himself last January… Free agents are free for reason. Nobody wants them!

Nobody wants Flitcroft either , 👍

I’m not sure about the gentrification of oatcakes that I am seeing on here. Bacon cheese brown sauce. Occasionally sausage. 

Bacon , cheese and tomato oatcakes 

Always Hit the spot for me

Yeah - but are you still going or are you off m8...??

I'll see this season out m8 then because I've had a few things happening at games which could lead to worst case scenario hospital ,going not renew just go when feel like it .

I'm.finding it harder and harder work till 6 a.m sat morn have a few hrs sleep then spend a hr odd travelling to and from the games to watch at times diabolical performances ok at home we seen some goals it's being better bar last week where if I could have walked out on 30 mins I would have and sat there watched all of it and thought (why am I here this is so underwhelming ).

So there's your answer fella .

I think we all need a long lie-down first... 

Or a few pints of Guinness, maybe

If you watch video clips of his highlights he did appear to be playing centrally at times. It's not unusual for young strikers to play out wide initially. The fact he was likely to play more centrally may have been part of the reason he chose us. If Uche wasn't injured I'd be quite happy with our attacking options.  Watching a little of Mighton playing he reminds me of Tony Sealy; my favourite Vale loan player. Particularly in his first spell when he often played up front with the Chamberlains he was unplayable.

Most players signed in the summer are free agents as they leave when their deals expire. 

He was signed outside of the transfer window though in the Autumn.
