Good move frees up a spot and gives him minutes which is what he needs to progress
Excellent all round

Fair enough.

Thought he was ok, but when you compare him to Pressley in terms of hold up play for the size they both are, it’s literally night and day.

Frees us up to bring in someone better, which is absolutely fine.

They must have a signing imminent, even if he was down the pecking order.

Interested to see who we sign in his place.

If that doesn’t tell you they absolutely messed up January - I don’t know what will :joy:

I’d imagine a young loanee, money will be spent in midfield instead I’d guess

Good bit of business, he gets minutes at a not too much lower level, and we free up a space for someone hopefully a bit more of a regular goal scorer.

I didn’t think he was as bad as some would have you believe, in all honestly. Very raw, but 4 goals since January in a team in as poor form as we were, and not that many starts wasn’t too bad a return from him. Hopefully a pre-season with us, regular games and hopefully goals for Rochdale, and he’ll come back improved.

He reminded me of Mo Faal - got in positions often enough then fluffed the chances, but would score from one later in the game. (Levi v Chesterfield in the playoffs, Faal at Harrogate the season before. Again, had a few chances at Wembley but never made contact.

Just Gordon next and the teams a lot stronger

The club should be embarrassed. This is just a reminder of how complacent the club were in January and they have and continue to pay for it. Levi has some good attributes but I never thought he was good enough for the position we were in. I presume this wasn’t the plan at the end of the season so not sure what’s gone on, but I don’t expect to see Levi in a Walsall shirt again.

Does make one question the comments coming out of the club when he signed. One we had been tracking for a while if I remember correctly.

I know not all signings will come off, but let’s hope our scouting has improved if Amantchi is the benchmark.

We paid Bromley for their sub and he’s lasted 6 months, Rochdale will use him as a sub when they see him real life

Good business would have been to not sign him in the first place.
