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

Any team in this division could be classed as a promotion rival in fairness Steve. Clearly they aren’t good enough for L1, so it’s nothing other than L2 or National League. There is limited choice?

 

Where else do they go. Not good enough to go higher so……..?

 

Really?

I'm sure we signed him to play?

 

I thought MH said he was one for the future. Could be wrong

 

Absolutely we did.

 

are you sure Kev?

 

My point is, why keep paying a player that is not in your plans and has moved down the pecking order.
You do know we are Bradford City, not Manchester City and that our player budget is not a bottomless pit or we have the power to say to Halifax town, you are having our player on loan, because we do not want him to go to a team we are competing with.

 

Would we have turned down a fee if it had been an offer from Walsall I very much doubt it, that would have been poor business.

 

As Hughes said its not what the likes of Young does at Barrow or in this case Song'o at Walsal its about what we do and he'd back us, well he would say that being our manager .

 

LOL!! My thoughts exactly when it came to Foulds and certainly when talking about Sutton.

I just think that you can't buy the streetwise value Songo had. There was no more of a reassuring site to see him coming on with ten minutes left - his label 'the finisher' is well deserved.

Doesn't change my mind that automatic is still very much possible.

 

I think a lot will be made about the fact these transfers are loans.

But for me, that's more a technicality.

I'm not expecting to see many of these loan players coming back, maybe Foulds, but certainly not someone like Songo'o.

It's as good as a free transfer IMO, and if we'd released him, he'd probably still have ended up in the same place. What's the difference?

 

Good luck to Yan,I liked him.
But what I DO NOT LIKE, is loaning players out to a team in the same league as us, it does not make sense and could backfire

 

A few matches. To be fair, Hughes might have wanted him for those few matches but with 6 months left of his contract he needs to show more than that to get another contract at another club

 

Defensively our midfield is alright , attack wise it leaves a lot to be desired in my opinion and hopefully walker sorts himself out. Songo as a defensive player is not getting anywhere near the starting line up .Do we keep paying his wages so he can come on for 10 minutes if we are defending a 1-0 lead

 

I guess you get my drift. It’s a narrow market , is my point.

 

Although it wasn't stated it may be a loan with a view to it being made permanent. We don't know what's gone on, his agent may have asked if Yann is going to be offered another contract.

 

Bring back the League Two Messi, Will Atkinson, and all will be well.

 

We laugh, he always scored against us after he left . I went to a Southend away game, I’m sure he scored on that day too?
