Don’t be so precious, ive never said or once implied we shouldn’t buy him because of that injury. 

Not being precious. Just asking why you are seemingly so negative all the time?

And yet I think midfield is probably our strongest area based on the current squad. 
 

Picking 3 starters from Croasdale, Byers, Garrity and Walters is a nice problem to have. 
I’d only be looking at add a Premier League loan players to that and I’d be happy. 
 

Striker, Defence and GK is where my focus would be. 

Totally agree 👍

100% agree on this - is think its one more on loan and then we're done for midfield. 

That's of course providing that we don't sell Walters this summer. 

I think the majority of the budget will go on improving the defence.

If we want to be going for the play offs then we need a better keeper. League 1 is a different kettle of fish to league 2.

Play offs???!!!

We've only just gone up!

I'd settle for 15th right now!

Looks like we have missed out on Iheiwke who is set to go to Blackpool

Along with Horsfall that will be two good signings for Blackpool.

Agree midfield is our best area currently in the squad but for me, I would like to see someone come in who will possibly be first choice rather than a young loan player, unless another another gem like Ollie.  I think lots will have looked at Charlton v Wycombe games and the play-off final in league 1 and think the league is not that strong but I feel far stronger than last time we made the step up albeit we have a better squad than last time.  Although midfield is strong, we have to remember in 2 of the last 3 seasons Garrity has sustained a number of different injuries, must have been 3 or 4 different spells lasr year.  Byers has played less than half of the games in the last 4 years, Reece is only 18 and unfair to be starting every week and Croasdale despite being 31 in September has never kicked a ball in league 1.

Lee Bradbury leaves.

Two coaches down currently

I think we should get Pope in. 🤔

In all seriousness he's been trusted sidekick with DM, sure there are plenty of irons in the fire already. 

It said at the bottom of the article that we should look out for more news on first team soon...

Who's the other coach to depart (I must have missed that)?

What’s interesting is Football League World seem to have become genuine ‘insiders’ for transfers.

Predicted Gabriel to us and Dennis to County in advance of them happening.

Is it Jacobs who has been absent with illness I think?

That was a while ago (Jacobs). Compared to past managerial setups at the Vale I haven’t a scooby who our coaching team are. In the past though it was fairly well known / spoken about. Maybe it’s just me. 
 

Who is on the coaching staff? 

Bradbury is a loss. Was always impressed we had an ex-manager with hundreds of games under his belt as a coach. 

Confident in the club to make the right moves.
