They think it will be a loan We seem excellent at loaning out fringe players, but not so good at selling them.
Doesn’t surprise me. They have Conor Wilkinson playing for them up front and last game I saw he was still just as bad as when we had him at Oakwell.
Someone has to want to buy them, herein lies the problem if a player is signed for a fee, is paid significantly more but sadly fails to make the grade.
His contract is up at the end of the season. I can't imagine we'll be exercising our one-year option on him unless he bags twenty goals at Walsall.
if his deal is up at end of season, let him go for nowt now or a tiny fee just to get him off wage bill for good. He probably is a nice bloke and can't fault his effort etc. but he isn't good enough and it's not worked out for him here.
Unless a player hands in a transfer request, the club is obliged to pay off the whole remaining contract, unless the two parties reach a settlement.
I get that. As a forward. But we've been playing him as a wing back ( performed ok at Bolton, probably needs bulking out a bit). He may be more suited to that position.
