Archie McSquackle Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Other than Dundee, I'm not really aware of anyone doing much business of note. I can see a few clubs not really doing much tomorrow and a few picking up a few late desperation signings. I'm a bit worried that if we were signing anyone half-decent we would have announced them by now. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thisGRAEME Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) If we do "Adding international experience" as we announce Brophy I am going to fucking lose my mind. Also we aren't signing Kev, you need to realise this. Edited January 31 by thisGRAEME Being a fucking dingbat 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t encourage them. I’m pretty sure they invented the Spittal PCA stuff as a wind up and then one of them was on here trying to bait a Slattery story last night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MurrayWell Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) Know nothing about this Vale guy, but I will say he's far better than Oli Shaw. Edited January 31 by MurrayWell 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wellboy1991 Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 He’s 6ft plus so definately a Kettlewell style forward. 22 so not exactly a young lad. Looks a bit of a unit. Meh, see how it goes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might get that senior forward but I'd be willing to bet money it's someone either with not a great goal scoring record, or injury prone. Quite happy with that Vale signing. I've lowered my expectations given the fact it's January and also we shafted at short notice by Arsenal/Mika. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, Robinson taking Spittal to Aberdeen sounds more sensible. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I've made my peace with that...it's obviously not great but it would spread the risk somewhat. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swello Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 Don't know anything about Vale - so I'll wait until 10 minutes into his debut to make my final judgement on him. 15 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Vale signing kind of feels like the position Kettlewell alluded to the other week of get the first striker in and then see where things stand in terms of what we're able to do. Annoyingly there's also a YouTuber also called Jack Vale so those videos show up in any search - probably a WyScout job to get any idea of what he's actually like. Like everyone else my expectations aren't exactly high but from the looks of things he's been decent at the same level as Gent so I guess that's a baseline of sorts.

Quite happy with that Vale signing. I've lowered my expectations given the fact it's January and also we shafted at short notice by Arsenal/Mika. That's kinda where I am. I think it looks a decent signing? Looking at the stats @capt_oats posted earlier, (24 goals and 12 assists in 54 U21 games) is obviously very good at that level. The question is what level is U21 English Championship? If we had a homegrown player stepping up the first team with those stats we'd all be excited to see what they can do, and he's obviously coming from a higher level than that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted January 31 Share Posted January 31 (edited) Fwiw, I had a look at the Lincoln forum since they were his most recent club and one of the first comments when the announcement that he'd been recalled went out was "Vale been a bit unlucky being asked to play in a role he wasn't really suited to." What that role actually was I obvs don't know but it's mildly interesting that his FM24 profile has him tagged as being best suited to Advanced Forward, Ramdeuter and Inverted Winger roles rather than a Target Man or whatever. If he's been brought in to replace Shaw (or to a lesser extent Wilkinson) then that's probably a lower bar for him to clear than if he's been earmarked as a replacement for Biereth.
