Does not make any bit of difference.

Total game time (90 minutes) = less than 18 games in total which is poor.

Re-read what I put in regards to the 31 appearances. 

It’s relevant because if there are players who we are not getting value out of, then there are many many others who should face to same criticism. Such as Conor Grant. Who we still have a year to pay.

Of course its relevant.

Wilson is out of contract at the end of the season. Let him go because of how poor is playing & goalscoring records been over the past 2 seasons.

How is that not relevant?

Firstly this season he's played 31 times. That's way above his career average.  Injury has undoubtedly taken a toll, he was once allegedly the fastest player at United.  The sad truth this season is he hasn't been very effective.  4 goals and no assists in 31 games isn't that great. There have been odd moments of magic. Sadly too few and far between. He's not an instinctive penalty area striker, no a physical hold up type of player.  He's no longer quick enough to play on the shoulder of the last defender.  I still think he could do a job as one of 2 10s but I think he's no longer capable of playing as a 9.

out of those 31 games. how manyt 90mins,has he managed?😇

In technical terms, one of our better technical footballers. But a forward should be judged on goals and assists, of which he has done nowhere near enough in the past 2 seasons. He looks like he has all the ability in the world, but if you don't utilise it effectively then you're a waste of a player. He seems to have lost the drive that he had with us in league 2. Maybe injuries and low confidence have played a part?

Whatever the reason, we need 2, maybe 3 forwards who have a significant impact on either assists or goals. We just can't carry him anymore.

That’s what the transfer window is for. Let’s offer Massey a new deal as well as we don’t have better. Makes no sense what so ever. 4 goals and 0 assists in 31 games is dire. I also fail to see why he should be playing at a much higher level. 

Had it not been for injury he would be playing at a higher level. I agree we can't carry injury prone players and it remains to be seen what happens this summer window.

Posted by Rob on the front page but no forum topic as far as I can see.

 

 

I would imagine that's him done at the Vale now unfortunately, despite the "but I’ll keep working and hope to see you all next season". Maybe a PAYP contract if we do get relegated as he's a class above at that level but his injury record is awful.

My favourite player and played an enormous and vital part in getting us to league 2. Has generally been a joy to watch for skill factor and vision. One of the most technically gifted players ever at Port Vale and I've been going for over 50 years! I know he hasn't been able to make such an impact recently, but I would keep him on another short term contract
