As good as Paton could be he would be on a par with the Tolaj signing so for me wouldn't top the Byers one plus didn't DD say it wasn't true what he put.

I do think more signings to come though

I would agree with that but It’s more the nature of the signing.

For us to buy another striker who score 20+ goals having already paid for Tolaj and signed Stockley would be incredible.

What kind of Merlin mind <ovf censored> is DM doing to other clubs , selling Loft and using the funds for 20+ goal striker?

I've just lumped on the Vale for a top 7 finish at a stand out 13/8 @ bet 365.....

 

AS LOW as 11/10 @ Billy Hills...👍😊

Printing money.

It will be interesting to see if Paton plays today as Queens Park are away at Peterhead in the Scottish League cup,surely if a team was close to signing him then he wouldn't play

Even I’m excited for the new season 

2nd thoughts on Chesterfield and MK Dons?

Even without Paton, after the signing of Byers I think we will win it. I’d still prefer to see a real leader at the back like Aidan Flint but I just think our midfield and attack will be too strong for the league.

Totally agree

IF and we aren't sure yet the Paton thing is true but we sign him then surely the fees for him,Tolaj,Stockley and Hall would be 600k+ and that's incredible for Vale  tbf

Bet 365 here in Australia changed our odds from 15/1 to 17/1 right after we signed Byers. Not sure whether to place the bet now or hope we drop to 19/1 if we sign Paton.

I know everything in Australia is upside down but those odds changes just don't make sense, or is it me just being thick ?

If you add the type of wages we will be paying players like curtis and byers carol has really decided to bank roll us. Never seen anything like it in my 20+ years going the vale

Think them odds are daft in my opinion; IF DM plays the right style of attacking football we'll have no problems with the majority of teams in this league

For the length of Loft’s contract I’d be very surprised if the fee is not the same or very similar to what we paid to protect Cambridge if he does go on to have a career year.

I’m still in shock we are flashing so much cash in player trading.

Enjoy it while it lasts; Carol is putting her money where her mouth is.  I hope people show their appreciation.

It’s unbelievable it really is.

What a really like Osh, is she’s taken a back step so she can sit back and enjoy it or take stock when needed.

I imagine it will be much better for her health.

Agreed, not complaining though. It is Bet 365 though. All others bookies have remained the same or even slashed them since.
