Ronan scored some important goals for us & has been underused this season by Moore. 

On the whole he did a job for us in L2 & would've chipped in with a few goals this season in L1 had he been used. He will no doubt have a worldie when we play Plymouth away, but that aside, I won't be losing any sleep over him moving on.

Best for both parties. Thanks Ronan. We move.

On Faal, I've said it before & I'll say it again. There is a player in there. He will become a good player for somebody in the next few years. He's young & raw but he's got all the natural attributes to be a very good striker. We need to get behind him, much like we did last night. He's a different beast when he's confident. Loved Brady's comments on him after the game.

I have to say if we are to play with wingers then i really liked the look of the lad Ennis last night,I thought he gave Clark the run around all night

On loan to them from Man Utd I think

Was on loan at Doncaster last season also wasn’t he? Had a great game looks a quality player. Hugged the touchline all game as a proper winger should do and also very skilful. Would be a perfect signing for us to get crosses in to the strikers.

I’m pretty sure Man Utd are not going to end his loan spell with Fleetwood so that he can join a bottom of the table League One club.

Plus he will be cup tied for our run to the FA Cup Final

You never know on that first point.  He’d be playing football at a higher level, albeit in a relegation battle.

On the second point, it’s not that many more games he’d be missing until the final.  A nice home draw against the lowest ranked team plus a couple of giant killings and we’d almost be there……

No doubt they will want him playing at a higher level but not at the bottom of the league club

If you were a member of the Plymouth management team last night i.e. Tom Cleverley, Derek Adams etc and you saw this interview from the manager questoning the attitude of the player that you are about to sign surely you would have second thoughts about signing him and think is it wise to continue with the move or pursue other targets instead. I mean if you were also a Plymouth fan last night listening to that interview as well you would get massive 🚩 vibes from it and go yeah do we want to sign a player whose attitude might be questionable and that he might cause issues etc. I mean they know they have signed him now but that has got to be somewhat of a concern.

Not really fussed. Didn’t want to be here, which is probably fair enough give the way Moore treated him. I imagine this deal was all but sorted before Brady arrived. Did well in spells and was screwed over by Moore this season. 

I think it’s an odd move from Plymouths side. Not exactly and inspiring signing 

wish him well though

I congratulate Brady in spinning it into Ronan being the bad guy in all of this.

more to come me thinks

Oh well worst kept secret that one.

Good luck to him but as Brady rightly said last night if a player doesn’t want to be here then we don’t want them. Want volunteers not hostages.

Think Plymouth have Bali Mumba in Ronans position already so guess he’ll mostly be a benchwarmer.

We have now become Plymouth’s feeder club. Lost our best two players to them and will inevitably go down as a result. Well done Vale.

Plymouth are pulling away now, won't be a relegation rival much longer. 

Will get even less game time there than he did at Vale

I like it how Jon spoke the truth and basically said If you don't want to be here then adios 👋 The statement from Vale was short as well 

How crap must they be if they’re desperately buying the bottom club’s players?

A goal every 10 games and flattered to deceive most of the time. We never saw the best of Curtis and I don’t believe Plymouth will either.
