We never got the chance for a Langmead winner against the posh, so a Zakuani header in the 93rd will have to do.

The stats tell otherwise.  We conceded 46, fourth lowest. Scum 73, most outside the bottom four.  I sincerely hope we are not going to be facing an ageing squad problem this time next year.

This occurred to me, too. I don't like the idea of bringing in too many 30+ players, and then handing out 2/3 year contracts.

Too many 30plus players is not good for the long term.

Something tells me we won't be signing any nippy French wingers or strong shooting German midfielders.

I stand corrected...however to level the blame for one teams defensive issues on one player is a bit harsh

Two other bits of news I noticed today.

Port vale skipper Carl Dickinson has announced he is leaving vale, what price he ends up here?

http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36611566


I like the fact that in the same article is says that Michael O'Connor, who has also left Vale, is keen to cut down on the daily travelling from his Lincolnshire home and is currently considering offers from three clubs in England and one from abroad.
Is it quicker to get a ferry to the continent than across to the Potteries?

1-year contract for Zakuani rather than the 3-year deal previously reported.  Makes a bit more sense.

The write up on Jak makes him sound a young competition for places and potential guy rather than a first team starter. Zakuani has good experience and was another million pound player (Darren Carter anyone?).

You would like to think that the vast majority of the players signed so far are just going to be back up/squad players with the possible exception of revell who sounds like he will be first choice, also I wouldn't have thought too much of the budget has been taken up leaving room for some more high profile signings in the pipeline (fingers firmly crossed).

Makes sense to get people like McCourt in with the new rule changes and not being able to get emergency loans in. Hopefully he turns out to take a path like D'ath has where he can contribute well to the first team.

Found this re Jak McCourt when RP took him to PV...

http://www.stokesentinel.co.uk/port-vale-jak-mccourt-wants-contribute-goals/story-27737638-detail/story.html

Could be a very decent addition.

Box to box midfielder with plenty of energy who gets stuck in.

So after these two signings...

just the addition of 2 quality wingers & a fox-in-the-box needed then we're all set with cover in all positions

Hopefully, we've saved a nice chunk of the budget/Holmes fee to use on these final 3 pieces of the jigsaw...

I was thinking this. Other than Revell, i can't imagine that too much of the budget has been used on the signings so far.... I'm optimistic that a lot of it has been saved for the two wide men and a striker. I think we will have a couple of exciting names.

Two good signings, without breaking the bank and the right length contracts.

Now just need those wingers...

I too looked at both their Forums and very little about "Zak" - can you please post a link so we can see these comments for ourselves?
