Thorton on trial at Port Vale

[spunkmonkey]

Yep Kevin Thorton is on trial at Port Vale. Scored in the pre season friendly against Stafford Rangers. He should be amazing at that level, although I'm not sure he will be.

 

[dougdeep]

Never heard of him.

 

[Easy 10]

Well, there are few players more accomplished at collecting splinters on the bench.
Adams must like his aftershave or something.

Micky really seeming to be running on empty, ideas-wise. Did he lose his contacts book or something?

did he ever have a contacts book?!

he has been f***ed ever since his golden generation got too old

I hate to say it (I always liked Adams...), but I think you have hit the nail on the head.

 

[Ninja Elephant]

Erm, no. Thornton is a fairly decent player individually, he's just rubbish when part of an actual team. He strikes me as a man after my own heart, looks flash during the warm up and then can't reproduce during an actual match. I thought nothing of him whatsoever, if he can get Port Vale to sign him then he's done well.

If he was sober / not coked-up he would be a real prospect



sad really

 

[Silent Bob]

He'd tear up League Two. Geoff Horsfield is a bit of a coup as well I think.

 

[Mellotron]

IF (and I know it's a big if) he's fit and firing, he will absolutely TEAR UP League Two. I thought talent-wise he was one of our best players last season.

Him vs. Cheltenham at Withdean was one of the best single performances by a Brighton player all season.

If he plays at even 30% potential he will be a fantastic signing for Micky.

 

[saltash seagull]

yet another player adams didnt really play last season he has at vale

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Perhaps he's like Jacky Charlton, shit at remembering his own players names, so once he has, he has to take them where ever he goes, irrespective of the fact they aren't any good

 

[mona]

Isn't Thornton another of those dancing players whose runs are spoilt by their dozy team mates who react too slowly to their individual brilliance?
Too good for BHA: far too good for PVale.
He is what I would call a creative midfielder.

 

[Publius Ovidius]

I suppose that puts to bed the collective wisdom of NSC who suggested that Mickey Adams had no time for thornton.

 

[Gritt23]

Micky trying the old "signing players I've worked with before" trick. Have we seen that anywhere before?

 

[Simon Morgan]

I thought he was on trial in Coventry

 

[RM-Taylor]

Zoumana Bagayoko is also on trial at Vale Park.

 

[severnside gull]

I thought he was on trial in Coventry

he was guilty................driving offences if I remember right and the reason Cov got rid as he didn't bother to inform them

 

[Whitterz]
