    What sort of signing would make you break out into a little smile? Are you looking for a name? Ex-player? Someone you've heard off? Paying a transfer fee? What's it going to take to put a little skip back into your city step?

    I bet there isn't many in the football league.
    OD is awful. hopeless. I'm confident this Hornby lad will be better than him.

    If he bothers to reply, I'll be intrigued by what he has to say. Maybe it will be a simple response ... a Josh Wright clone! ;)

    Vale seem to have an irreplaceable keeper but their fans say he is a good keeper so a promising signing at a good age

    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

    Only reason Hornby isnt 1st choice is Brown is in the form of his life, cleared up at end of season awards for vale last season. Could have sulked like Riley did for us but read a couple of bits saying he hasnt moaned hes just cracked on with it which is a big tell for me.

    Could also bring the best out of OD now he has actual competition for his place. We saw it with Hanson/Davies, Parky said Davies was a good signing for as much of how he pushed Hanson to pick his standards up after being a certy pick week in week out for so long.

    What's happening with regards to the goalkeeper coach? Has Maik Taylor been kept on following the expiration of his deal? @wetherbywhaler@wetherbywhaler @Glenn Ackroyd@Glenn Ackroyd

    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

    That's probably the tablets. You may need to change the dose.

    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 ?

    You're right, we can't just assume he's sulked and moaned, that's defamation of character.

    No, we're going to settle for the much simpler explanation that he's just absolute crap.
