I've done a piece on the Brazier rumours on the front page. It may be useful if anyone is catching up. The response from Vale suggests these reports are hugely wide of the mark...

Explainer: why latest Liam Brazier rumour should be treated with a pinch of salt - onevalefan.co.uk

Beat me to it, but thanks, Rob! 

Really good that all these kids are coming through at Vale .

To be honest it's the only way the club can survive a production line of talented youngsters making the grade .

I think the clubs got a smashing identity at the moment long may it continue .

One went to A Villa another to Newcastle Utd two of the young uns have signed there first pro contract lomax and Dipepa .

Walters next hopefully Stoke will not play you fella do not go there that's my message to him .

After all wasn't it Vale who give you your way into football.

Don't forget that when you make the decision you will eventually be making

I didn't say that - but I've seen enough about Ryan Loft to not dismiss him as quickly as you do!

What has Ryan Loft shown you to make you think he’s the answer?

Your stats prove little.  Look at the numbers for the wins v Cobblers or Wigan for example, both of which we won with loads of possession from memory.  Equally there are plenty of games where the opposition had more possession than us and won.  Tippy tappy football is fine, possession is fine, the only bit you’ve got right is the tempo.  There has to be some zip no matter what style of football we wish to play.

We were rubbish, boring and slow playing that possession football which is why we went on a real bad run.

Against Northampton it was boring.

Once it got changed, everything took a step up & the fans were getting excited & behind it which to be fair, the fans were really getting disgruntled leading up to it.

I have mentioned this quite a few times already but the way that we started to play was stumbled on at half-time against Barnsley because Crosby was no doubt on the verge being sacked & and he gave up his believes to save his backside in that 15 minute half time break.

It doesn't send out any kind of message, when so many other teams do it, as well!

Which other teams do it?

And you think Loft is a better option? 

Do me a favour , Uche is a class act 

If you think Uche is a class act, god knows what you would be like if we actually had a class act striker.

Totally appreciate that Loft hasn't shown much but I do think he deserves a longer run in the team (if we are going to judge him fairly) According to the stats I've seen, he's played 448 minutes in League 1 this season. So, in total: 5 games. Don't get me wrong that't's enough time to have scored a couple of goals but it isn't much time. Also, when he has played, how many of those was he up front on his own?  
 

For me, Uche and Wilson start. But judging Loft when playing alongside Wilson (and for a number of games) would be much more fair. Playing alongside Wilson may bring out the best in him? But, may be not. But at least he would have had a fair chance.

I haven't totally written Loft off and I do want him to succeed.

Liam Brazier wonderkid not yet bit let's hope he is .
I think he come on v Wrexham did ok in fairness other than that I cannot remember seeing him play.
Let's hope Barcelona are interested in him

No interest from Hollywood yet, though.

Dont build your hopes up on who is interested in him

Hope he hasn't got the same agent as Walters though who should look at himself and take a leaf out of the books of Lomax,Dipepa,Plant and McDermott.... only my opinion mind

With the deal for Uche breaking down i wonder if Wycombe will come in again for him considering the rumours suggest he failed a medical.

The club are clearly happy for him to talk to other clubs so does that spell the end for him anyway here? I have no idea

Why should Walters or Brazier not look at signing for other clubs?

Not often I agree with you but in this case I do agree, he ditched it because he knew he was getting close to being sacked.

That might not be true, his contract could stipulate that he can talk to other clubs and it could be his agent hawking him around. 

I don’t begrudge any player wanting to play at a higher level, but when it’s a team in the same division it’s a bit galling.
