Growing old disgracefully
Does this mean that the Tiresome Unofficial Ridiculous Doug Loft Appreciation Society (TURDLAS) will piss off & support Vale now?
Hi, Just reading about our new signing, sounds pretty good. We are deperate for a creative midfielder, is he in that vein or is he a more defensive kind. Plus how true is it about hinsh coming our way.

You'll get a mixture of 'He's God, you've signed the new Pele,' and 'He's shit, he can't run, he can't kick a ball, you've signed a great carthorse lump' on here mate.
For me, he's got a good attitude, a decent workrate and was never given a run in the side to really see what he could do. I suspect he'll do a decent job in League Two, as he did at Dag & Red by all accounts.
Loft and Fraser are two good signings for Port Vale in my opinion, although I'd say Loft is the slight better of the two. Was suprised to see both of them leave but hope they do the business for you.
Hinshelwood is no doubt a good player but giving him anything longer than a years contract would be a risk due to his unfortunate injury history.
Apparently you're also signing Jason Jarrett, who in the times I saw him last season arguably will only be there for the weekly wage.

Jarrett is way above the others in both class and ability. Fraser as has been said will do a good job as might Loft who must realise that this is his last chance of ever making it as a pro footballer because he is arguably only of non league standard. He improved for us when Slade took over but was still way below the standard required for Div 1. Hinshlewood, if he signs, will be in the last chance saloon as a player as he was slow when at his best and since his run of injuries has got slower. Plenty of ability, which made him an England U21 player but had he stayed with us he would have been about 5th choice as a central defender and obviously had no future at our level due to his lack of pace and injuries.
5th or 6th choice Yes Virgo,Elphick and El-bad are above him in the pecking order but who else?
Loft should be able to cope with Div 2 as it is only 1 step up from non league but he was not good enough for us generally in Div 1 especially if we have aspirations of promotion.
MA obviously doesn't rate the midfielders you currently have
Midielders? What are they?
