With his injury due to keep him out of the FA Cup tie at Barnsley on Saturday, the club have announced that Jorge Leitao has gone.

The popular Portuguese centre forward’s five year stay at Bescot Stadium has been ended earlier than was expected, due to the fact that he was going to miss the next game.

It is fortunate that he was available for the last home game, which gave Saddlers fans a chance to say goodbye to a man who will always be classed as a legend at the club.

Vá com deus, Jorge.

Bennett Bid

Meanwhile, the official site says that we have received an enquiry for Julian Bennett.

The young centre half has been rumoured to be stalling on a contract extension offer and has also been subject to reported interest in the past from both Wolves and Nottingham Forest.

Bennett is under 24, of course, and a product of the youth set up, so the club would be entitled to compensation should he walk away at the end of his contract.
