He was lucky to play for Vale in the first place too.

Remember that it was a former chairman and playing fantasy league football that signed him when we never had a manager in situ 

I remember being annoyed at that but Yates changed my mind. Managers tried numerous times to bring in replacements and he always won his place back. He would walk into this current team.

And no doubt stayed on as long as he did on a pittance too. Helps when we didn't have a pot to piss in.

The only way that I can see Ruari leaving between now and transfer deadline day is if we sign any strikers but given how Mo went back to Wrexham and Devante has gone to Luton l personally can't see him going anywhere now but given how he isn't in the squad today I would say that is Vale career is officially over. 

I am sure questions will get asked Brady after todays game about certain players futures at the club and possibly Cole as well but whether he answers them is another matter

Mccombe and Clayton MacDonald , that was a pacey combination! MacDonald was about 6 foot 7 and Chris Shuker could jump higher.

But both did us a fine job in the first half of that promotion season when we didn't have anyone else.

I'll remind you of that when I've yet again followed Vale away from home, putting in the miles, the effort and the money for scant reward in return.

He’s jealous of your name.

Joke of a club. Sell anyone half decent, keep the <ovf censored>. Clark and Paton next. I don’t mind us letting players go but where are the replacements? This bloke from 7th tier who’s been ‘keeping himself match fit’ but not fit enough for the match day squad. Club is worse on the pitch that under Smurf yet everyone seems to think Carol is still untouchable and can do no wrong. <ovf censored> club 

Not sure this says Magloire isn't fit enough,it might just mean he didn't sign in time

Other than that I agree,I get we have to reduce the squad and wage bill probably(Cole and Curtis will have reduced that you would think) but we have to bring in some decent players as well,so far we have a young winger on loan who i doubt will cost a lot and a defender we are taking a chance on for a few months and again i doubt he will be costing a lot.

Now lets bring some hungry up for the battle players in please

Yeah, that’s going to happen.

the best we are going to get is come young 18/19 year old from a Premier League or championship side looking for his first minutes in professional football

We agree Dan

I would never have had Hall back. Heneghan is a poor mans McCombe.

We allowed Moore to sign crock after crock.

Who would have thought that after 25 games,there isn't an out and out GK as first choice?

Trying to shoehorn G Hall into the tam as a winger?

I could go on and on

It looks like I am going to the Burton game as a family friend is visiting and wants to go..it is not by choice,and I've probably lost a friend for life!

Be good to have you down there mate. Just don’t expect much and you won’t be disappointed 😂😂😂

Recall Page saying he was embarrassed at what he was made to  offer Yates under instruction from Norm.  Said he could have earned more in Nat League North, but Smurf was playing on his loyalty/locality and no desire to commute.

Rumours he got a paper cut when signing… out for 4 months 😂

Cole undisclosed fee - no doubt Matt has played ‘hardball’ and s3cured a sherbertdib dab for each of his girls as a fee!

The captains armband last week put an extra fiver on it 

Absolutely pathetic attempt to convince him to stay. Footballers today see themselves as brands. For me the only problem with Cole was, 

‘He was always believing he’s sold’
