Surely this fella deserves a thread of his own?

 

When he signed most of us, very much including myself, thought he'd be another young player that's say on the bench or in the stands unable to offer anything, and a bit of a waste of time really. How wrong some of us were! He's a natural born goalscorer and if we're to do anything this season it's imperative that we keep him for the remainder of it.

 

What I also love is that he's clearly passionate about playing for us and enjoying his time at the club, and without wanting to be stalker-ish, one look at his Twitter page confirms that. Top player, top lad. I'm not a Tweeter, a bit of a **** sometimes perhaps, but anyone who is on there should be showering him with compliments and offering to mow his lawn if it means him wanting to stay at the club that little bit more.

A very clever player that people think he goes"missing" for long periods. He is full of energy, horrible to play against because you dont know where he is. A pocket rocket with an eye for goal.

Early days but could be this seasons Adam Armstrong. Five goals already and on form. Let's pray a) he keeps it up, b) he's still here after New Year

[Inny]

Play him through the middle Bruno as opposed to on the wing.

[Warren]

Knows how to slot them and also joins in well in build up play.

I think Birmingham should have a look at him and realise how far he has come on in such a short time under the guidance of Bruno and his staff. They should also realise that he is not the finished article yet and that a complete season under the guidance of the Vale management team would see the investment in their player grow. Bruno is playing him, he is learning more and more each time he plays, while other managers take our forwards on loan and have them sitting on the bench - I would hope that Birmingham see that their investment is growing while our player at Northampton, under his favourite manager, is a bench warmer. Just goes to show that some managers know how to use the loan system and have faith in youth, while others are just doing what they did last year, which doesn't help the loanee one jot.

Must be the name A.Jones I remember another A.Jones and he wasn't bad either.

Indeed. Northampton fans are already questioning why Hooper has been brought in.

 

At the moment Bruno is doing exactly the right thing for both Vale and Birmingham by starting Jones, and getting repaid handsomely.

Also important to establish Vale as an improver club for young stars and establish good links. Hint to the special one?

[vale on toower]

World class finish today, Ron Futcher days relived

[Guppy 4 England]

Give him a chance and he scores. Needs to start down the middle

A big plus point here and the difference between Bruno and RP is that Bruno plays loan players and this will send out a good vibe to clubs who want to send their players to us,also staying in the top 6 will make players want to join us.

 

Now if only we had the dosh to sign Jones(i think we would make a lot more on him in the future) i am sure he would come.

Wonder if Norman will test Brum`s valuation of him? What is he worth to the Vale? I suppose they would insist on a high sell-on clause.

[SuperValiant1876]

So sending Hooper out and replacing him with Jones was another masterstroke by Bruno and Smurf? Are the doubters starting to come round? What a start this lad has had for us! Long may it continue.

[TylerB]

If he continues to score surely other clubs are going to take notice if they haven't already?

 

We've been good at the back excluding the Bury game, and have a very strong midfield when everyone is fit. But for us to have a good season we absolutely need this guy in our side.
