You must be deaf or blind then considering half the time people are bleating we should sign an ex player or someone who plays for a rival (I only presume because they have no idea about anybody else). That’s where the criticism comes from, a lot of people don’t have a brain when they are suggesting we resign Smith or earlier back in the thread, someone like Devante bloody Rodney.

Of course it doesn’t matter where they come from, the point is it’s not showing much imagination to bring up these types of players. I find it very lazy and the Stoke ones are extremely unlikely to come anyway. 

Again, WTF are you on about. My original post was about the possibility of signing a player who to my knowledge has not played for PVFC and who has scored goals for other lower Lge clubs, especially for one club in a Lge Vale find themselves in next season. 

It may have passed you by but Vale's last 3 promotions were much in part due to we had players who could put the ball in the net and the last two relegations 'cause we didn't.

Hence my point is Vale should sign good players from any club they can. It particularly applies to goal scorers and/or creative players cause they are usually the most difficult players to sign due to being in high demand. It has nothing to do with imagination or laziness whatsoever, it is all to do with the need to sign good players and in particular goal scorers and/or creative players.

I won't trade insults with you but I will say it's not wise or clever to cast aspersions about someone you don't know or have ever met being deaf or blind.

I wouldn't normally advocate for ex players but there is a lot to be said about having players who play with passion. I'd take 1 Nathan Smith over 10 Devante Coles. Same with Tom Colon. You knew they always gave it their all.

I agree about what you get with them but we need the same but with a bit more quality...that's the challenge..

Devante Cole has quality but there is a massive reason he is a bit of a golf bag.. 

Smith, I would take any day if I was a lower league 2 club..

I dont want aden flint but an example of a 100% player who had a bit more about him in his prime...

Does Colon still have the stomach for it ?

Absolutely! Hopefully we can find those players this summer and restore a bit of pride

Pretty much sums up our problems. Hard working Smudge struggled to stay in lg2 with Tranmere but lazy ol Devante who doesn’t give a damn is…in league 1 with Luton. 
 

What does that tell you?

If I was Brady I would try to sign Bobby Kamwa.

You say that you are not an advocate for it, yet name 2 straight away.

Can we all stop bringing up this obsession with Nathan Smith please.

Shows you how good he is with the team he signed for and where they finished in the football league

He is the type we need if we're going to play wingers

 

If I remember right, we had Bobby Kamwa on trial a few years back, the year he was released from Leeds before he went to Burton if memory serves.

Maybe our pre season friendly might be against a PFA out of contract team again.

Stars include

Amos, Lowe, Conlon, Harratt, Benning, Magloire, Hart. 

We might even win. 

I have just watched the highlights of the Non league play off, Borham Wood’s Malik looks a decent lad, not sure of his history but he certainly caught the eye….

Depends on who's in charge of  recruitment if it's the same wet wipes as last session I'm not building up my hopes so all this , we should sign him  JB needs look at  signing him and let's take a punt on Joe bloggs is for the birds anyway tts great to be back hope the snowflakes and happy clappers have missed my magnetic charm and sparkling repertoire
