Most liked posts in thread: Songo'o Loaned to Walsall

He's a perfect bench warmer because his versatility covered two distinct positions allowing room for extra attacking options and hasn't let us down when called upon this season either in midfield or defence. However, he was highly unlikely to start because we've got multiple players ahead of him in the pecking order in both areas.

Not too surprised that he's gone but I am a little surprised it's a loan and not a permanent exit given that he's out of contract in the summer.

 

Also reading between the lines, could he be saying that we won't get promoted !

 

I'm not talking about giving up, that would be not buying a season ticket, just giving it a rest. I think after 50+ season, and 35 as a season ticket holder, we all deserve a break from purgatory. If it happens, I'll call it a 60th Birthday present to myself !

 

He may have been promoted a couple of seasons back but he is simply not good enough for a starting berth anywhere in this team, which many are criticising as a collective to the nth degree. The only valid point (IMHO) in this thread lamenting his loss concerns squad morale. He is not going to get us promoted and is certainly not League 1 standard. All the best to him - he's always been a life on the line type player when on the pitch.

 

Why wasn’t he playing in the middle for us……?Your call……. ? Too slow, turning circle the size of QE2. Let’s be realistic for a change ? Like Sutton, being a great team player with a heart of a lion is far and away not enough to take the place of mobility or technical ability.
Time for compassion and sentimentality has gone. We either want promotion or we don’t. Again you choose. Yes I’m interested in your thoughts.

 

Agree
According to some on here this means
that’s a league Kante we’ve lost - Songo’o
A league 2 Riyad Mahrez we’ve lost- Young
And a league 2 Andy Robertson as well - Foulds.

No wonder we struggle.

 

One of our better players last season and unlike the centre halves we have now caused a bit of a problem in the opposition box as well

 

Walsall fan on Twitter after last night’s game said that Songo’o played liked he’d had a full English before kick off

 

Can only assume this is a book-balancing exercise with the likes of Angol, Songo'o et al taking up a considerable wage budget when they're not in the first 11 picture.

Time will tell if this gamble pays off, but as long as it means we manage to bring in better quality then let's trust the process and get behind it.

 

It wasn't aimed at you mate, as I posted I respect every individuals choice with regards what they do regarding Bradford City and agree if you have a seat you enjoy sitting in then at our season ticket prices it makes sense to "reserve it" for the future.

 

Enjoy might be pushing it too far, but having been in the same seat for 23.5 seasons, it's certainly moulded well to the shape of my bum.

 

Ok, I get sending fringe players out on loan if we are replacing them with better players, but I am yet to see that happen. What I don't get is why we are loaning players to rivals within our division! Is Hughes losing the plot?

 

As i said earlier in this thread, you can only move players on, if other clubs want to take them, or you try and pay up the players contract. Songo is out of contract come the end of the season and would probably be moving on. Why keep him at the club , just to sit on the bench or not be even in the match day squad, when we are covered in the positions he plays.
Mass hysteria , because its Wallsall. i don't think the response would be the same had he gone to a Wimbledon type or a national league team.

 

They've failed in January in my mind. We'll know by end if Feb where we end up and that's not in the play offs let alone above.

 

unless he helps that team take points of other rivals or creates draws

 

If Songo'o gets game time at Walsall then fair play to him as he was rarely playing here.

Just have to hope City wont miss him coming on to see out games that we are winning or drawing.

He was kind of slow enough to fit in with Hughes' style of play.

 

This

 

Yeah, we're not a Premier League team, we can't just say our players have to move abroad lol

Hey Yann, enjoy Belgium, we have a cracking feeder club out there lol

 

Kelly , Odisina centre half cover and as much as i thought Songo was decent, he does not get anywhere near that midfield.
