35-year-old midfielder Danny Sonner has turned down the twelve month deal offered to him by Vale, and may be considering a better deal at Walsall.
Sonner has claimed that he would love to stay at Vale Park, but would want a bigger wage. According to the midfield playmaker Vale have ‘had him on the cheap’ this season.
Chairman Bill Bratt has told ‘The Sentinel’ that: ‘We have offered Danny an improved contract. He says he wants to stay, so now it is up to him.’
This would be a big loss for Vale in my opinion. Sonner is the only creative player we currently have in the midfield, and we are a poorer side when he is absent. Vale will definitely need to bring in a creative midfielder if Sonner does leave.
From the club’s point of view they may be concerned with the time it has taken Danny to recover from injuries. Sonner missed all of January and then April through injuries, and at 35 years of age recovery time is not going to get any quicker.
Sonner is currently on holiday, and declined to make any comment to ‘The Sentinel’.

Obviously Sonner’s had a better offer from Walsall and if we can’t match or better it then he’s going. We will need to get someone in who can pull strings in midfield, Harsley, Hulbert and Whitaker can’t do it. Will Foyle go after Marc Bridge-Wilkinson? I hope not.
DUNNER GO DANNY.
I’d like him to stay but won’t be too brokenhearted if he decides to go elsewhere. He’s only really got one season left in him at Div.1 level and we need to get some new blood in the midfield.
This will be a big loss for us. Even if we do manage to get hold of someone with some creativity to replace Danny they’ll need time to ‘bed-in’ to the team. Walsh, Constantine, Kamara and now Sonner likely to move away – we need to get hold of a centre half and central midfielder.
