Sounds like the lad is being offered to almost anyone, feel for the lad, his agent must be on the phone to every tom dick and harry and he is just the pawn…

Whens Rodney coming back :joy::joy:

Not that I think there’s anything in that but the bloke was never really given a chance here signed by Matt Taylor and Flynn didn’t want him for whatever reason and he was injured when we signed him.
We’ve had far worse.

That means we will have bought him, let him go for nothing, then bought him again.

Not a great business model.

If we’re signing Rodney, and we already have Dave and Uncle Albert, could we tempt Dele (Del-Boy) Alli back home?

Notts County were said to be after Jesse Lingard, so you never know.

Mind you, we’ll probably end up with only fools and horses…

Game changer incoming! And I don’t mean a 40-year old central defender!!

Why would we do that?!! It would be a crazy move to spend £100k on a striker we let go for nothing. There are better options out there if we are looking to splash the cash, like George Miller for one.

It could trigger a glut of incoming strikers !

George Miller is up for transfer because his wages are high, not because Cheltenham don’t want him.

Rodney would not be a terrible signing because he can play anywhere across the front three and he has proven that he is over his injuries now.

I’m also going to put it out there that the Walsall Board and Sadler will have learnt a lot from their mistakes last season and it is possible that the manager’s steely resolve will bring about improvements over the whole season, based on squad rotation and a more balanced squad to avoid future burnout.

I hope you are right, but based on everything we saw, and how they let it all fall to shit over an extended period, there is nothing to suggest this will be the case.

I’d agree there…

It was a very long bad run and it’s almost unbelievable that a young and supposedly, knowledgable coach couldn’t work out a way to stop it…

We have to hope that lessons were learnt and given the fact that the board has decided (seemingly) they are going ahead into next season with MS at the helm, anything other than a decent start and he’ll be under huge pressure very quickly…
