    Brown seems like a great keeper some of their fans say Hornby would get into most teams. Hopefully he us here to replace O’Donnell which I am sure he will

    I see him as third choice ? Surely can't be No1 having played next to no football in a struggling Vale team ?. We need a proper keeper to push ROD or keep him out. Doyle or Gilks maybe ?

    Most of his game time , and there,s not much of that has been spent in non league .He can not just become a number one keeper .

    Depends on his ability he has only been kept out at Vale by a keeper in excellent form. The Vale fans says he was good every time he got a chance

    Fair play to him for having that mindset but there will be another Keeper signing ahead of him. Or it's a big gamble by Bowyer in such a key position ? Would he get in at Avenue ahead of Drench ?..dont reckon so ?

    Agree if he's good enough he's good enough but just don't see Bowyer just leaving it with a rookie keeper and ROD who he clearly doesn't trust ?

    Agree I don't think Bowyer is big fan of O'Donnell's, it's down to the lad to show Bowyer how he can perform with regards him wanting the shirt.

    He is still shown on the club website but that could be wrong as it has Andy Todd - assistant manager.

    No Bowyer says he liked the fact when he signed that he had come to play

    I thought Bowyer dropped O’Donnell to put the other lad in the shop window to try move him on and free up funds in budget. It worked when Coventry signed him.

    This new keeper must be on even less so, like we’ve done with French and the Accrington lad, we’ve filled a position on less money.

    I still think O’Donnell will be no. 1 unfortunately.

    Hang on hang on we are the BIGGEST club in League 2 by a,long chalk he'd come here for just that !, let alone a first team spot ? Choice Port Vale No 2 or City No 3 with Bowyer hinting at a route to the No 1 spot ? ..where do I sign gaffer ?

    We were already down though so GB did him a favour by getting him gametime that goes straight onto Wyscout and looks better than cameos in the cup at start of the season.

    He might well have done him a favour, but it wasn't done to free up funds as he was leaving anyway.

    Not really it's just as things are ...nothing outlandish or overstated there? . The lad wants to move up ! If he's not going to League 1 yet then he would see us as his least worst option for now. Better No 3 at City than No 2 at another League 2 club ? .Good luck to him.

    Best way to judge without seeing for yourself is looking at what fans of other fans say about him and it's all positive

    Actually ...that's closer than you might know ? But I agree hope he does well and makes No 1. But he's not been signed as that. Neither is ROD No 1 ? Bowyer will have another Keeper planned. ROD on the way out on loan.
