He can head a ball. In which direction, who knows.

Yes he does have a 50p head. But I’ve never seen a 6ft 3 centre half struggle so much to win headers. Even when he did win the ball it was pathetic. Compare to Heneghan who wins headers cleanly and puts it 20 yards back up the pitch.

Not a good look on Cole if this is true.

 

What's Cole kicking off about ? Brady ?

Yep, I just seen this and if this is true then that is completely unacceptable IMO judging by the comments it appears that he well and truly spat the dummy out and told the club that he would never play for us again. I mean I can understand his frustration but this is not the right way to do things if it is indeed true. 

EGO Vale beneath him 

Imagine having a billy big balls in changing room ,yet he is plying his trade at bottom of league 1 ,Vale loads of zeros him spearheading the NIL PORT VALE  mostly look at the stats he as missed big chances one at Bolton also at 0-0 

Folk having a meltdown over him ,me no good riddance .

Lets get behind his replacement id rather Garrity up there with Stockley and Paton ..

Well I actually have some sympathy. He should stay and play but if you were told the plan to help us stay up was to sign a 7th tier crock who was a mate of the manager, I’d be looking to leave too. 
 

I’d feel insulted if Brady thinks such signings are our level. 
 

I sadly fear Cole sees Brady as some chancer with no real ideas, which was also what I was seeing based on Exeter. 
 

I have tickets for Orient tomorrow, but having heard of this signing today, I’m not going. It is a slap in the face to fans. All the money that fans have put in and we get 7th tier scraps and an unwanted Luton player.  
 

This isn’t a serious professional football club anymore. It is obviously a stop gap job while Carol considers her options. 
 

You can never, ever give up on a season in the football league. You need to keep building and looking to move forward. The clubs that don’t sink out of the league fast.

Sorry I do not agree on this. Yes lost his confidence of late and made the odd mistake but he is decent CB and better than most. Also has pace. 
 

another poor decision to let him go when we are in this position. He gave 100%.

He is most definitely not a decent cb. He had the odd decent game last season but is rubbish at this level. Stockport at home is everything you need to know about him. Delighted he’s gone and hopefully goes permanently

No offence to you here GR but this always gets me when people ask for names as there is no one out there,now i for one dont want Carol to sell but she does need to back the manager like she did the last one imo.

IF it ever came to her selling there would 100% be interest in the club,now whether that's by good or bad people who knows,I am however she wouldn't be threatening to close the club down and would only sell to the right people,so i am relaxed with that

It’s not just a case of naming names.  People seem to think a new owner would automatically be better than what we’ve got, which is a joke.  They haven’t got a clue, the reality is that it could go either way.  There are plenty of far wealthier owners than our own out there at clubs who are failing big time.  In the scheme of things our owners have got so much right it’s far less of a gamble to let them try to put things right on the footballing side.

Cole is an odd one. He started well and I thought he was the fox in the box that we'd been missing. He will score goals if you put a chance on a plate for him. Having said that, his performances have dipped significantly since that start. His hold up play and general play is pretty poor and he's not really one to create chances for himself. I don't really think he's suited at all to a struggling side. He's reminded me of the lad we had on loan from Oxford (Matty?) a couple of years ago. He's scored throughout his career but his general play just wasn't very good.

Admittedly, we need all the goalscorers we can have at the moment but with Cole allegedly being one of out highest earners ever, it does seem a collosal waste of money because he certainly won't live long in the memory.

His 1st interview suggested that he wasn't really interested in Port Vale and we were a bit beneath him. His demeanor has often suggested he'd rather be anywhere else. If we've got a decent fee and his wages off the books, it's the right move for all .

With respect I’m not sure what people expect of Cole. He’s a good player being hung out to dry, our decent attacking players being moved on and he’s forced to play up top alone or on left wing. He knows he’s better than a side so many points adrift and to be fair I think he actually tries on the pitch. He be will obviously do well at Luton. he like everyone else can see we have given up and he probably dosent want to be part of it, and I can’t blame him. 

I don’t mind him going at all, but there has to be a proper replacement of which I almost guarantee there won’t be. 
If he does go though, and for a fee that’s yet another fee for a player. Some of this needs re-investing.

The player you are thinking of is Matty Taylor @leedsvaliant

Dont think anyone is surprised here with this. But what a horrific decision to give him the captains armband. What message does that send out. 

It’s going to take us 2 years to recover from Darren Moore. I cant get my head around anyone hearing him speak and deciding to hand the keys to the club to him.

Looking at the league table there manager seems to know what he is doing. Jesse will more than likely be playing in a division higher than us next season☹️

From what I saw against Exeter, we may come to think of the Moore era as a glory period if that’s the best Brady can do.
