Up until yesterday he was the best midfielder at the club?

Yes, according to those he’s conned into thinking that! 
Not for me. Not ever. I just don’t rate him.

Those attributes you’ve described about him, I’m sorry mate, you’ve been watching a different player to me.

The bloke is an absolute fraud of a footballer. 
If you think Funso Ojo can build attacks and protect a back 4 then god help the next club he walks into if they think they are his attributes.

Call me conned😁

It's all about attitude with Ojo for me. Compare the Ojo away at Charlton who cleared the ball from his own penalty area then sprinted the length of the pitch to get on the end of the break and score the winner to the Ojo who strolled around at Derby looking like he'd rather be anywhere else.

I think we need to get off the Ojo thing now and lets look forward to what will hopefully be a good season with more signings to come,I think the majority on here realise that it's very very doubtful that Ojo will be here at the start of the season as he wont get in a team with Croasdale,Byers,Garrity and Chislett all in there

I dont mind conceding 2 if we have the fire power to score 4 [emoji846] 

Agreed. Big ask to score 4 a game though, whereas, as we've shown with a large part of this defence, it's not such a big ask for us to concede at least 2 a game [emoji4]

So Crewe sign Bogle from Newport and now Newport sign Baker-Richardson from Crewe

Thats the craziest part of this pre-season. The strength of the midfield is incredible, with or without Ojo.

You’ve hit the nail on the head. 
“Neat and tidy”. 
In other words he does the minimal and plays it safe. 
And what are his attributes? Seriously what is he? Box to box? Assist maker? Goalscoring midfielder? 
He’s a nothing player. 
An absolute nothing player. 
He’s basically conned the general public in thinking he’s a great player because he passes a ball ten yards and doesn’t give it away because it’s impossible to give away simple passes and every pass he plays is simple. 
 

I’ve been going Vale since 1984 and seen some amazing midfielders. I’ve also seen some dreadful ones. But I’ve never seen one who tricks the fans into thinking he’s better than he is because all he ever does is play a five or ten yard ball and fans think he’s controlling the middle!!

His talent is limited but his attitude is worse. 
Anyway he won’t be here much longer and good riddance.

I take it you don't like him .

I agree passing it five or ten yards is safe football England play that .

It's mundane in a word .

Pass it through the lines like a Bogie a Walker etc .

Play with intensity run forwards and drive on like a Ian Taylor a Van der Laan a Stewart Talbot a Garrity play to win

Ah nothing says " I'm looking forward to signing a player " more than the prospect of sausages on Friday.

I'm as keen as all of you to ship out 4-6 players, including Ojo, but we're going to get to a point where they're contracted PVFC players until January and getting well behind them is the only option.

If Loft and Lowe pull on the PVFC shirt in September, best believe I'm defending them to the hilt. I've had enough whingeing about football for one lifetime, and I'm 27.

Just proper looking forward to a season of winning games of football and liking PVFC footballers. Need some good Saturdays.

I am sure that any Vale fan will back the players who enter the pitch no matter who they are tbf despite how we feel about certain ones on here,well like yourself i will anyway
