......Far from a given if you're right about that level being beneath him.
Port Vale v Middlesbrough
The only tie not involving a glamour PL side
Unlucky !
Everton v Fulham
Chelsea v Newcastle
Liverpool v West Ham
maybe- but he gets an extra game potentially and then can also play a glamour side in the next round should they win.
Nice draw.
Winner of the Everton tie in the semis, worldie of a cup final day and he'll be another one that will win a trophy before we do!
I never thought after the debacle of 1988, I'd be rooting for Port Vale in the FA Cup!
They'd be mad not to.Brilliant youngster.
Fingers crossed for him and his career.
With a name like that, it should hopefully be a good one

and another 90 minutes for him today v L1 Lincoln
Mid season update on Alfie Devine at Port Vale :
16 appearances (12 League, 3 EFL Cup, 1 FA Cup) including 10 starts, 6 off the bench totalling 914 mins. Only last 2 League 1 matches has he started and completed 90 mins.
3 goals and 2 assists.
This makes Devine Port Vale's 2nd= joint top scorer this season - top scorer has 5 goals (no assists).

Not bad, for effectively 10 full games.
Some questionable posters were “recall him/another poor loan” just weeks ago. Yet, they look to be handling him brilliantly (not exposing him to week after week 90’s, as his body hardens to men’s football).
Yup, I think we should be keeping him at L1 Port Vale for rest of the season, with the hope/expectation that now he's starting games on a regular basis and getting regular goal involvements (goals/assists) its a win win for the player and both clubs, rather than trying to move him up to Championship and a higher level of opposition in January where he might not get game time.
19 December could be a big game for him v Middlesbrough in EFL Cup quarter final (neither Vale nor Devine have played in one of those before) with a chance to play a Championship level team.
He'll be 20 next August so its then up to Ange whether he thinks another loan at a higher level would be better for him or joining first team squad as an extra No 10/RW option, and at his age another loan isn't the worst option.
