Are we really linked to Ollie Pearce? 30 yrs old with little experience in the football league? I’m not against it but wondering what he brings that Paton doesn’t? Also has no residual value? 
seems like a bit of a panic buy?

I believe he has signed a contract extension with York.

Alan, you'd have to prove that his reputation is damaged by such claims. 

Given the man's record at other clubs and documented cases, I'd suggest any cries would fall on deaf ears.

Please don't give that poster the attention and oxygen he's craving by constantly posting crap. 

Best thing we can all do is just ignore untill he goes away. 

You are publicly stating that Lee Darnbrough is cheating our club by moonlighting at another club in Poland rather than carrying out his contractual duties at Port Vale.

Of course that would be damaging to his reputation - if it were true.

So I'd suggest that you should either produce your evidence to support your accusation or you should withdraw it.

Instead of Walka003 pretending that he is in some way being wronged because someone has questioned his offensive remarks and asked for his evidence to back them.

Looks like we're stuck with 4 goalkeepers (including davies) for the rest of the season. Marosi has the best gig going. Paid to sit in the boxes every Saturday and the odd Tuesday 

Not necessarily - can't goalkeepers move out on an emergency loan outside of the window? So, there is always the chance someone needs a keeper due to injury and opts for Marosi. 

We're not signing Ollie Pearce. We play with 1 up front, do the math with what we have and what we've signed. 

Rhys is not going to QPR because Big Dave with 10 followers says so.

There will be no further signings today IMO. Paton might be gone. 

Knowing our great club PR we will find out late tonight or in the morning.

 

Pearce has to be worth a crack even for league two as the likelihood is we go down, if he could get 2/3 or 1/2 of the goals he has at York it would be a start. Despite the age factor from that point of view I'd take the gamble as long as the fee ain't uber stupid.

True. I just can't help but feel someone would have came in for Maroši by now

Or next season!😇

Watching Elliot Lee join Doncaster is kick in bollox.

Difference maker at this level. Really could have done with him.

Good luck Mitch.

Hope he can keep himself fit.

If that's based on the post on X at the top it's from end of Sept last year he's just pinned it, or doesn't use X much

It’s a cheapo buy. Carol is going full Smurfwaite by the looks of things. Cheap and crap. The Port Vale way! 

How do you know he's crap.... have you seen him play.. probably not 🤔so how do you come by that assumption

Another issue is his injury record. He made his league debut for us 8 years ago and since then he has played 165 league games. 

Twice as many as Tyler Magloire!

Well summer will be different. 

We've had a terrible window. 

Part Time Lee has given us a couple of loans generated off a contact from a pre season friendly in a panic. Really do hope they improve the squad but the optics atm is not great for me.

We've managed, with some desperation, to shift players out on loan. Good for the harmony in the dressing room.

I would say our club recruitment is not fit for purpose at the moment. Deals done don't reflect much thought, but JB done the best he can, no doubt. 

We have 5 loan players already in gauci,campbell,archer,brown and sherif so would be pointless bringing anybody else in on loan as you can only name 5 loans in your match day squad.

Is there anybody you'd be happy with us signing? Ronaldo... Messi... Kane, maybe?

What would he bring that Paton doesn't? Goals. He's a goalscorer.

So was Paton in the championship of Scottish football. League one is a big step up for Pearce don’t you think?

As I said I’m not against it but just feels like an odd signing if it goes ahead.
