I imagine there would be a fair few league 2 sides who would want Ojo. He’s a decent player

Regarding Ojo; didn't Darren say he wasn't looking to offload anyone? 

If people dont think 2 or 3 will leave then they will be very naive imo and i aren't talking players like shorrock,walters or tolaj who could all leave at some point but for big money

I know. But there are other ways to put it. "we're expecting movement both in and out", "we're still looking to trim the squad" etc etc 

Why should he say anything either way?

This. I am bloody sick of people expecting to know every tiny detail of what's going on. 

The club are entitled to keep things close to their chest, and it might, shock-horror, be because the players dont want details disclosed because those things are confidential or sensitive to them.

We, as fans, are not entitled to know everything thats going on.

Just because Connor Hall didnt play yesterday doesn't mean he's contracted the Ebola virus and Ojo still being on the books doesn't mean he got pictures of Darren Moore helicoptering at the end of season do.

Why not just be honest? You can be so without naming names.
 

It might be because the players don't want it disclosing, a club that were in negotiations with etc, we dont have to know everything!!!

Wow, easy does it 😅

I, in no way, shape or form, expect to know everything!
All I'm saying is, that these politician answers don't do anyone any favors.
Might as well say "no comment", that would be more truthful 😉

I know we dont like to talk about him on here and for good reason but I aren't sure if it's been mentioned anywhere else

Pope was asked yesterday if any Vale players stood out for him and he said he knew Tolaj was good but he didn't realise he was far better than he thought and said he was at LEAST a Championship player,also said Walters and Gabriel were different class(he did add that it was only a friendly but he could tell the quality of those 3 in particular)

I think Ojo would rather sit in our non existent reserve team than play in L2.

Wages are going to be an issues for L2 clubs unless we contribute a % which I’m sure we will want to avoid . If we can’t flog him maybe a ‘mutual termination’ like it was for Grant.

A very controversial view I’m sure, for me Ojo is a much better player than Croasdale, on abilty he would get in ahead of him however Ojo’s attitude I would rather put him on garden leave than have him anywhere near our squad.

As in we're utter tripe between October and January, Tolaj's confidence collapses to career low as he's inexplicably hooked for Ben Heneghan at 4-0 down on 63' in the sleet on a filthy Tuesday night in Lincoln, and then we dunna need to worry one bit. 

This being Vale, I wouldn't bet against it tbf 😅

You would be good in the final destination films you could foresee the over the top deaths using your power of ridiculous creativity negativity.

I don't care if he would go on a free as long as he's off the books and more importantly away from the club. Don't want be here, bye bye. We have a good group mentality at vale now.

Id take a risk on tolaj and extend his contract if he starts off well in this league.

Sounds like his judgment of a players ability has improved since he persuaded our manager to bring in Anthony Kay and Rob Lainton

That would be Shrewsbury for a starter then - they have had long enough to note his all round attitude and capabilities - So incoming offer from Shrewsbury eh ?  I dont think I'll hold my breath waiting for it to happen . He has two relgations on his CV and I cant remember that many High points . Lets just say he is an ok player when it suites him. 

I would of thought that Tranmere would come in for Ojo but i guess it's whether he would drop into league 2 and also if they could afford to pick up his wage
