if they pay their transfer fees, like they do their rent, his value may as well be zero.

if he was coming here for £200,000 he would be the club’s record signing!
If he’s worth 200K Dobson is going nowhere for less than 10 Mill when the time comes!

Mental figures being banded around 
I’d have been happy with 35k to cover the Ferrier transfer.
I’m not sure what’s more amusing. The fact that we value him at £200k, or the fact that someone seems willing to pay it!

Maybe the Coventry manager feels some sort of unconscious sympathy for a Walsall striker who’s consistently failed to deliver and consequently become unpopular with the fans…

Well if its true and the fee is around the £200K mark, lets hope Dean is given it to spend on two more permanent deals by Thursday 5pm.
CH, CM or CF, mind you all three would be good.
Then pick up a couple of quality cheap loans before the end of the month
Accrington Stanley were the club who made a bid that Walsall rejected

I don’t think you will ever need to…I will be as amazed as you!
Exactly , the only interest has been from clubs that you could argue are worse than us.
It won’t be easy to get a decent centre forward, to come and sit on our bench (a point I have made 100 times) unless its perhaps another non league signing.
Its a shame Parker and Candlin arent a bit further advanced because the backup roles are exactly those the “kids” should be filling.
Does anyone know if THAT Wrexham centre half played on Saturday?

Bristol Rovers? Coventry? Who the bookies make a much more realistic promotion contender than us with more fans and a bigger ground?
Let’s not pretend these aren’t fair League One clubs in for him. The one that’s questionable didn’t even have their offer accepted.

Spot on. All the Walsall fans seem to know better than highly respected managers of two bigger clubs than us, with loftier ambitions. Hounded out by the boo boys and he’ll probably go on to score plenty at this level. It’s Grigg all over again!
And where do people think we’re going to find this striker to sit on the bench on a permanent deal. If Baka is representative of the market, and we get £100k of the £200k to spend, we’ll be lucky to get anything better, if at all.
What utter rot, not withstanding one pinpoint pass against Northampton he was a lump, unable to head, unable to tackle, never looked like scoring goals, like someone above said, his attitude at Fleetwood was appalling. He is better off with a new club who might imagine he has talent, we certainly didn’t see much of it in a Walsall shirt! He might indeed do a Deeney, but I think the majority off us think this hidden ability will be difficult to extract.
Well said. It’s not like he has only had a few games he has played over a 100. I cannot believe the amount of people who think he will all of a sudden become a deeney or a grigg. He was in the main absolute garbage.

Always an admirer of Abou. Also Jabo and Westcarr. Did what was needed just like Mr Andrews and Mr Wright in the old days. Forgot Rambo then !! I think JW coached his attributes out of him like most inexperienced mAnagers/coaches.
Now we have the terrifying dynamic duo - All the best AB…
Amazed that so many are putting Bakayoko’s failings on the the fans. We’re not the ones skying them from 5 yards out. He’s had many, many chances. Far more than most would get.

He’s just not got what it takes … plain and simple. Too many times he fails to anticipate where the ball is going. By the time he’s reacted the oppo defender is already dealing with the situation. The situation at Fleetwood was the final straw for me. To refuse to shoot from that opportunity proved to me he is not, and never will be, a decent striker. Wish him no ill but lets take the money while it’s been offered.

According to the Excuse & Stir, Bristol Rovers’ offer for Baka has now been matched by Coventry City, and the player has had talks with them. He is keen to stay in the Midlands so it looks like a done deal.
