Once every 7 or 8 games. As long it’s short-term and cheap, just to pad the bench out. Movement is similar to Matt. Not really a central striker though.

I would love to see Sawyers back.
I was always a fan, even though he divided opinion.

I think he adapted his game in the Championship and PL.
From what I read, he played deeper than the No. 10 role that he mostly played whilst with us.
Anyone watch him with West Brom?

If we want to increase our possession stats then sawyers is the man !! Let him play in the middle of the park and do hia rhinf! I fear he is not a Sadler player though as doesn’t run enough

Sawyers - yes please (would be shocked)
Wilko - No tar

Not Saddlers related directly (but could be) - I know a guy involved at Bournemouth and Adebayo is on their list of Solanke replacements. I’ve got no history of prediction so feel free to ignore this message if you so choose.

That would make sense

Update on Wilkinson. Intial talks have taken place today, but nothing has been agreed so far. Personal terms seem to be the issue.

I wouldn’t mind Wilkinson but I certainly would not be breaking the bank for him!

Probably wants paying similar to what he was on before which was 3k + but not worth anything near that now

Heard anything on why sawyers was there ?

Wilkinson just doesn’t suit our style at all for me. Can’t imagine how many times he will shrug and wave his hands in the air as another ball into the channel or punted neck high to him sails past.
Talented and unlucky with injury whilst here but would rather we spent money on 2 proper forwards. Unless we have enough budget for all 3 then maybe.

I would take Sawyers, but Wilkinson, really? I wouldn’t want him back.

Not bad was he that ‘lad from Tamworth’ :upside_down_face:

Thought he chased shadows to be honest :upside_down_face: still far far from convinced he’s going to make up for Hutch’s impact.

As someone else said, not totally against signing him but not going mad ÂŁÂŁ wise

But surely it goes against all that they have been saying - “we don’t want to get in just anybody; we’ll wait for the right players etc”
As technically gifted as Wilko is, he doesn’t fit the channel ball football that Sadler seems to prefer - I wonder what he thought of what he saw from the stands today, 37% possession etc. He isn’t going to chase around like Jellis and Flash, is he. He also won’t be cheap, and if we have missed out on players because of wages, then surely this would go against that - surely others we looked at would be asking for or on similar to Wilko.

Signing Wilkinson would be an utterly bizarre turn of events given Sadler released him! Presumably because he plays in a position we don’t use as he isn’t a striker.

Feels a bit clutching at straws.
