Loan bid made for a striker

[Ryaldinhio]

My punt is Louie Marsh

I really doubt it and even more really hope not. He is not what we need at all.

[bpoolrover]

Be a surprise if its rob street as he is quite similar to ironside but doesnt score as many goals

[NickDRFC]

It won’t be Nathan Lowe

Obviously I wasn't being serious. Found some of the signings preseason baffling,  as quite a few did say on here at the time.
Yeboah? How many times had anyone seen him play,  a YouTube clip?
Yeboah didn't contribute much for a player recruited notion long after the season ended though he alone did more than Westbrooke and Close combined,  yet he's the one gone

It’s a lot easier to terminate a loan than shift contracted players who are probably on pretty high wages.

[ravenrover]

Is it definitely Rob Street? Mate of mine has told me its Freddie Draper?

No one said it was definite, my friend who reports on Lincoln said he has heard it COULD be Street, I don't think anyone actually knows for definite

[ChrisBx]

Would Rob Street really be deemed a "statement signing"?

[ravenrover]

No, there is another in the pipeline according to GM is that the statement signing?

[ncRover]

Following the clues it could be Adam Mayor

[StocksArmy]

Complete guess but im saying Louie Marsh and i am here for it if so.

Don't know much about him,but had a look and he does fit the bill regards the clues.Im sure there are many others that fit the bill,but there is nothing to say it's not him.

I know he's not a striker, but Dan Gore could be a possible shout, maybe for the marquee signing.
Was on loan at port vale last year, got injured. We have a link up with man utd, Tommy Rowe, and he played against us for the u21's.
He needs games for his development, and we have a decent reputation for helping it with that
Also rumours are he's going out on loan too, might be putting 2 and 2 together and getting 5, but you never know.

Left footed winger who moved to Millwall from Morecambe in January 2024 for an initial fee reported to be £300k... with potential for it to rise to £1million.  Had period out injured since his arrival and hasn't been able to get into the team since.

Yes sounds good to me I remember from memory after  Vale signed youngsters from was it Liverpool & Manu last January they couldn't possibly get relegated (one of them at least got injured) but Moore showed great skill and determination in getting them out of the division against all the odds

Let's just hope Salford don't nick 'im

He looks a tidy player and could be an ignition that our midfield seems to need - I personally think if he goes out it could be to a higher level.... but that may be the marquee element.

here we go

Manchester United's teenage midfielder Dan Gore has joined Port Vale on loan until the end of the season.

Gore, 19, has made two United's first-team appearances, his only Premier League appearance having come in the Boxing Day win over Aston Villa.

He won the FA Youth Cup with United in 2022 and was last season named as their reserve team player of the year.

He is Vale's third January loan from a top flight club after Brighton's Jensen Weir and Liverpool's Rhys Williams.

But they have lost Tottenham Hotspur loan man Alfie Devine, who has gone out on another loan a level higher up with Plymouth Argyle.

"Dan is a player with fantastic technical ability," said Vale boss Andy Crosby. As well as his obvious qualities on the pitch, he possesses all of the non-negotiable personal qualities required to be a member of the squad here at Port Vale."

Vale sit 20th in League One following Saturday's abandonment at Reading, but now have three games in hand on most of the clubs around them.

as i said at the time couldn't possibly get relegated could they

[Alan Southstand]

Isn’t Gore more of an attacking midfielder though? If he is, is that what we need?

Oh dear God, seeing as he's quite a bit older than Yeboah I'd say highly likely he was watched in some games more than yeboah,  the point I was making anyway was Yeboah was signed in early June,  as if someone didn't think a better player would become available,  Walsall signed  Lowe on 22nd August, they preferred to wait.

You need to do a bit of research before you start posting shite.
Craig was 20 and never played a game for anyone, yeboah was 18 and had played around a dozen games for Bristol city.
So plenty more opportunity to watch him in an adult competitive environment

[roversdude]

Hopefully things are progressing and they havent lost the pen

[Alan Southstand]

Wigan will surely want Josh Stones to play EFL football he would be the one I would go after hard.

Josh Stones back at Wigan. Said his goodbye’s to Oldham on X.

Oldham couldn’t match it

Bit of chat on Twitter that it’s Bradford.

I can’t find any other wide forwards who were on the bench for Championship or L1 teams yesterday who would likely be available for loan but would also be “probably too good” for L2.

It’s another conference team, great signing for them.
We should’ve been in for him, told coppinger and McCann about him 18 months ago.
2 league two clubs were in for him too

[mushRTID]

York City then. I have heard they have a bit of money behind them.

[mushRTID]

Looks like York then. The Bradford meltdown on twitter has started!

[Metalmicky]

TBF he is ginger...... so not bothered.

[Little Wolf]

Raphael borges rodriguez might be the one not getting a game at coventry and was on the subs bench on the 1st Jan

Has impressed Lampard, don't think he'll be going out.

[Ryaldinhio]

Just seen a report confirming York for Stones.

Also one confirming Malik Wilks remaining at Rotherham for the rest of the season despite Evans previously saying he was off.

Wonder if he was the statement signing and they have backtracked.

Hardly statement IMO..... depending on what the statement is of course..
