Maybe we should take a look at this Harry McKirdy… [emoji28]
Added bonus Rampant Zebra won’t have to learn a new name [emoji12]

I know he could be a really irritating little so and so. But somewhere in their is a really good footballer. It's just that numerous clubs including ourselves have failed to find it.
I realise I am opening myself up to loads of abuse and probably rightly so, but if we got him cheap enough he might be worth a punt. I await the missiles [emoji846]

Wrong attitude for me and I think he’s only had one really good season and that was with Swindle. I will however, be forever grateful, for launching his penalty into the Burslem sky in the Playoffs!

To be fair to Mckirdy, his penalty did hit the back of the net! 

Unfortunately (for him) it was one of the goals on our training pitch. 😂😂😂

In all seriousness he’s 29 now and hasn’t done anything of note since that year at Swindon. He just is what he has been most of his career at this point.

Had some serious health issues since then and had open heart surgery which obviously slowed him down a bit.

Josh Maja is departing WBA.

Yes, I know, he's been playing a big step above the level we'll be playing next season.

But if July pre-season comes round and he has nothing on the table, the top end of Vale's pay-scale might become attractive to him.

Capology estimates he's on 17K a week. If that is true we must be offering serious coin at the top end. 

Would be a statement signing though if we take on a departing Championship player down 2 levels.

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

I think he has tended to blow hot and cold but most wingers do tbf

Might certainly be worth a look and knows this level well

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….

I think it looks more and more likely that he is going to end up in league one

I have said before for a winger Luca Thomas at Fylde might well be worth a punt

Only 8 league goals in 25 starts in League 2 last season, would he even get in our team?

That would be a serious high goal scorer for us [emoji1787][emoji1787][emoji1787]

I wonder how long Garrity has been given to decide on his contract offer

You would think they will want to know before the end of the month,so they can plan for finding a replacement,having said that you would hope that planning was already being done just in case

Isn’t it around 28 days they have to be given to decide before a deal can be pulled? Can’t imagine we’d be waiting around much longer than that if so.
