15:30Former Manchester City striker Alex Nimely is training with Port Vale. Nimely, a free agent after being released by the Premier League champions in the summer, is set to play for the Valiants' reserve team against Wrexham on Wednesday.
Opinions? would you offer him a chance here? or not what we need?
I though he done well here, if you asked me in the summer I'd have said yes worth the gamble.
But the fact it's now November, he's been a free agent since the summer and no one else has yet taken a punt on him I would be wary of it an approach it with more caution, might be worth a short term deal.
He'll want paying though :-(
Would be one of our best players
I would seriously be fascinated how you'd draw that conclusion.
I can't recall the exact stats but in the division above for the few games when he was fit he either scored 1 or 2. I think it was 1. He won 2 or 3 penalties and he had a significant role in quite a few of our other goals. Either via winning a free kick or a corner.
Defences in the championship could not handle his pace. In this division it would be a lot easier for him.
Then he played a couple of games for us whilst carrying a knock, due to the shite depth of our squad.

Above Tudgay and below the rest .
OOH Grendel you old cynic.
I reckon if someone could engender some Composure into him he'd manage 15ish @ this level.
Just ignore them, he wasn't crap at all. He had raw ability, a bit like Christie in his debut season, could have developed into a good player and had a good career with the right guidance, maybe still can. Probably wasn't ready for that standard at the time though like half of the squad then.He wasn't crap at all, just didn't score.
Let's be honest, our team wasn't really creative back then!
I think I read somewhere he won over 5 penalties in his time here?
Just what we need, another small striker to compete with McQuoid, Miller, Jackson, Tudgay and Maddison for that last spot on the bench.
