Not a signing thats going to get the tickets sellingā€¦
Someone like draper would have added 500 on the gate.
Hope Im wrong tho and he smashes it.

What was the higher offer crap on about on the new signing clip??..surely wasnā€™t on about Levi

Not so cheap really, we had to pay a fee. Not sure how much but I doubt it is some tracksuits and a box of Ferrero rocher. Plus an 18 month contract. Could turn out to be quite expensive if he isnā€™t very good. Hopefully he will fit in well.

Lets give him a chance. Chill out. See what he can do for us before jumping off the cliff. He may suit our style of play and enable Weeto to bang in loads of goals.

Are people expecting us to sign Ollie Watkins? Blimey.

Top of the league with 12 points clear and Lowe on the pitch barely gained us 500 extra ticketsā€¦

No way would Draper get us more fans, it would need us to be top and the end of March to see people actually turn up in numbers.

Canā€™t even sell out when itā€™s a tenner.

One other thought, could be the 2nd coming of Trevor Benjamin, helped last time. :crossed_fingers:

I get that mateā€¦not Ollie Watkins of course :laughing:ā€¦someone proven in League two atm would have been a startā€¦willing to give him a chance. Just feels like typical Walsall though

Nah, we missed that boat, Bonser made sure of that.

Unless we ship DJ out then thatā€™s our forward line for the rest of the season. A little bit yikes to say the least. Good luck to the lad, but as many of said hardly the calibre of player youā€™d expect to attract as a) league leaders and b) with a ā€˜competitiveā€™ budget to match

18 month contract for someone who looks bang average (or worse) on paper. I mean Iā€™m all for giving someone a chance, maybe til the end of the season with an option, but come on? Underwhelming.

Having thought about it for a few minutes it makes some sense. Matt even when fully fit only lasts 60 odd minutes.This lad now gives us the option of bringing him on when that happens.If he can hold the ball up he could be useful. Not sure looking at his career up to now is the best guide. Jellis had a very patchy non league career until he joined Tamworth and he only played 29 games for them. Lets give the guy a chance and hope he is another gem from nowhere!!!

I wonā€™t lie and say I have any idea who this guy is, but quickly looking like a player to cover Matt. if he can hold up the ball and defend from the front he is exactly what we have missed over the past two games. Sads is yet to sign a dud so we have no reason not to believe in Levi

Could be someone who can learn from Jamma.

If any other Walsall manager or chairman signed a journeyman striker who couldnā€™t get into Bromley with his scoring record everyone would be fuming

Stronger than we went into January :man_shrugging:, donā€™t smack of that with this signing

Be about the same I reckonā€¦ Has been all my time supporting us. I was excited about Dario Larossa.

Easier to not back the bloke before you see him play. You must also hope your wrong surely!

Letā€™s give the lad a chance and see what he can do

Iā€™d imagine the fee was extremely minimal. 18 month contract on probably a low/medium wage compared to the rest of the squad. I doubt this has cost us much, however if he does flop then we are stuck with him next season.
