We might still have asked for a sell on clause 

I take it they have matched our valuation

They just had one of their only other strikers recalled by Huddersfield so might have forced their hand at a rough guess.

Wish him well but truth be told while he has all the physical attributes you want his football intelligence is close to zero and given DC likes to try different tactics during games he just doesn't fit in to that.

A massive turnover for a January.

Rodney didn't improve in the areas he'd need to to play any higher, but if played in the right system and with confidence he is a reasonable League 2 winger/wide forward, as he proved throughout last season.

I think for Walsall, who are in full rebuild mode, this is a decent signing - a high-upside player who can, at the least, sporadically produce as a winger. He might be as rubbish as he has been this season, but he got 11 goals in the Whitehead/Mills/Robinson era. I'm not exactly upset to see him go, and with rumours about off-the-field concerns I understand it.

I'm not at all sure about the level of turnover. Some has been enforced (Cass + Politic), but most has been clearly through choice. We're at a stage where we've got a game tomorrow and the squad has been changed more than it sometimes is in the summer. We're reliant on a lot of immediate bedding-in, which considering out insistence on an early pre-season and getting the 'right group', seems a bit counter-productive.

This is has to be the busiest/craziest January vale have ever had. Every I check my phone a new player has arrived or someone has left

Guessing the line up tomorrow should be interesting 

Only got 18 available players despite all the incomings, that includes 2 keepers and the invisible man Alex Hurst

A thought has just struck me; we started our pre-season very early. Has that anything to do with this daft accumulation of injuries?

the thought struck me that dc said at the start of the season they were strengthning the medical team so as to stop all these injuries! he failed miserably.😔

Can’t say I’m thrilled with it either. It’s a reasonably big turn around for a summer window nevermind January. We’re really struggling for goals and whilst Rodney has been down right awful at times this season, he can score at this level as we saw last season. Is this what we will see again in the summer? No idea what our 11 or even squad will be tomorrow, could kind of understand it if we were languishing in the bottom 2; but we haven’t done too bad thus far so not sure this level of change was required! Hope there’s a sell on fee as you never know with Rodney.
