Does the signing of Joseph mean we're done signing strikers?
No

I’m still really surprised whenever I see this sort of comment re Stevens. The guy is still being monitored by 75% of the clubs in the Premier League. Arsenal nearly bid for him in January six months after Villa formally offered half a million.The Stevens loan is better than I expected - didn't think we'd find a taker for him at League One level; very happy that we have.
Like my comment if he does well we get a nice fee for him if not he probably replaces EastwoodI’m still really surprised whenever I see this sort of comment re Stevens.

If he has a good season at Vale he’ll be sold to a “Top 30” club and we won’t see him here again. There was a lot going on last season.
Yellows Forum, ladies and gents.Maybe.
Not trying to discredit you just genuinely asking and appreciate if you cant say for obvious reasons, but how does a club nearly bid ? and how would you know another club nearly bid ?I’m still really surprised whenever I see this sort of comment re Stevens.

I claim you are both Karl and Marked Ox who said yes but has withdrawn the comment is also KarlMaybe.
Leaving our optios open. Either McGintey or Stevens could be Premiership keeper but they may not. We are in the lucky position of leaving our options very open. I will be amased if Eastwood is our first choice keeper at the end of the season though. Just think one of the others will get so much better.Like my comment if he does well we get a nice fee for him if not he probably replaces Eastwood

Several ways, but usually it comes from a club official making an ‘off the record’ enquiry. Particularly higher up, some clubs don’t like lodging official bids unless they know it’s going to be accepted, as they don’t want the “embarrassment” of being turned down. Newcastle and Southampton asked the question re Baptiste a couple of years back after sending scouts to every home game for 2/3 months, but an official bid never came. They were right on the verge of pressing the button, though.Not trying to discredit you just genuinely asking and appreciate if you cant say for obvious reasons, but how does a club nearly bid ? and how would you know another club nearly bid ?
Because clubs at all levels of the football pyramid display a ton of recency bias.
He can't play against us anyway... He's still our playerI hope we put a clause in stevens loan agreement he can't play against us
It would be interesting tho.if he did play for vale against us
