    Have to laugh, just been and had a look at vales forum. Saying we're not the brightest of fans and that Guthrie may come good for them... I think they need to re-evaluate that. Also saying that Doyle couldn't score here and that we're a shambles of a club... Don't think they realise that we've moved on now and doing things the right way, yet they're signing players like Guthrie, who was apparently on former manager John Askey's list ...

    If we are unable to secure the services of a goal scorer then it is important we get a good quality left midfielder, winger with some guile, pace and who can add to our goal tally which had been poor up to now.

    Yes one Vale fan called us a fruit loop of a club.

    I'd like to see us go for someone with a bit more experience now, an older head, we're pretty well stocked now with kids albeit decent ones...

    Just tell them to look at his statistics - he must have a very good agent - thank fully for us.

    Guthrie fired more blanks than the patients in an ivf clinic. Good luck port Vale in rectifying that. If we are fruit loops, they must be fruit bats.

    He looked poor, no one will object to or be sorry that he's gone - but we made Eoin Doyle look sh*t too. We're a graveyard for strikers.

    There's every chance Guthrie could do well at Vale. I'm sure Scunthorpe fans are wondering how Lee Novak has gone from being a 1 in 4 striker for them to a 1 in 2 striker scoring overhead kicks for us. Its just the way football is sometimes. That said, other than the odd flash here and there, there wasn't much to suggest Guthrie could be a useful striker for a club targeting the upper end of L2 - which I presume Vale are, and is also why we are pleased to see him go as that is where we ultimately want to be.

    Also goes a long way to explaining the signing of Burrell so we have that extra option. But we still need another up front and the January activity so far means that, for once, I'm looking forward to seeing who the club can get on board.

    He will certainly get his chance at Port Vale. Mid-week they lost Tom Pope for a long time with a damaged shoulder and broken arm which will keep him out for some time so had an urgent need to bring somebody in.

    However Port Vale have squad problems - when they signed Taylor earlier in the week it meant they had more than 22 players over the age of 21 in the squad - they had to de-register Mckirdy to be able to register Taylor - so that now have a player who they are paying but cant play! Now they have got Gutherie they have to find another to de-register. Compare that to City who seem to be managing the squad size quite successfully

    There's also a chance I could win the lottery tonight. Comparing the two I'd say I have the better chance.

    A graveyard or do we just sign bad strikers? Had plenty of good ones in the last 15 years or so. Wells, Thorne, windass, Hanson, wyke to name a few.

    Fair point. Feels like more often than not though, we don't get much from strikers who've proven they can fare more effectively elsewhere.

    Guthrie is nailed on to score on his debut!
