I don't think for a minute Kieffer would have been down the Vale had Rambo not been here. He's a player with loads of contacts and a huge reputation, who's to know if that might be a deciding factor for a player to join.
Also, when you look at our squad last year there was nobody who really stood out as a leader. Nobody to either gee the lads up or set standards for other to lead by example.
I think just having him in the squad will raise everyone else's standards - everyone will want to up their game and push on.
Then you've got a few of the less experienced players who will look and learn from him - probably Ruben the most. Shirt sales, TV and press interest, bums on seats....
