Well done. We might need him next season if we end up in L1. Fairly sure Woodrow & Morris will be gone if we go down. He's not Championship standard at the moment, but some strikers develop late.
Why would he sign a new deal with us? Hopefully there’s a chance of selling him in jan before his contract runs out in the summer.
Be surprised if Morris goes. Injury prone and hardly set world alight before joining us. Plus he won’t score many this season either….no one will.
Not saying he would but we could have a new manager by the end of season and could be a league lower may be okay in league one.
For me he is our best all round striker, despite being injury prone. TBH he was taken out terribly with that challenge. I think any player would have struggled to ride that one. That said with our current fitness record who knows? Certainly can't see him leaving in January, but if we went down in the summer he may be one to go. I hope we can turn it around, but surely tomorrow's games should be the last chance saloon for Schopp. He seems to be clutching at straws with every team selection. Maybe he clutches the right straws? I hope so. I've decided to go tomorrow to catch up with my brother & nephew & then visit my folks post game. Would be lovely to go & see them with a smile on my face.
I'm sure we could offer him a better contract than Walsall? Time will tell what happens. Just got to be pleased for him for the time being.
Let's hope so, JP. Surely we have to win one eventually. Might be tomorrow. I'm even tempted to have a small flutter... but worried I'll jinx it.
Why on earth would he wanna come back to us…. Looks like he’s found a home at Walsall scoring goals, which will do his confidence a world of good. When he did play on the rare occasion, he was heavily criticised for his performances. Stay where you are lad, you’ll be thankful in the end.
We probably could, but it’s not worked for him at Barnsley under different coaches, he’d probably prefer to stay at a club where it is working for him and where he’s appreciated
Maybe you are right. It's all speculation, as is 95% of everything posted on this board. At the end of the day money talks & if he scores heavily & we are in the relegation places I think things might turn. Who knows? We've made some terrible signings we haven't been able to off load in recent times. Surely a player under contract you either take a fee for, or make a new offer. Worked for Wigan with Morsy.
Not to mention that if he carries on scoring a shedload for Walsall then any other championship club will be able to outbid us. He's basically not our player at this point.
He's still under contract? Look at what happened with Morsy. As much as I have a dim view of our owners, they know how to look after their cash. As I said before it is all speculation. He's only 23, so I think compo would be involved on any pre contract deal.
He didn't get much game time with us, so it's not so easy to make a judgement on him - as some on here do. He might well turn out to be up to Championship standard.
