Officially joined Strabourg. 4 year deal.
Bollocks - for some reason that's really disappointing...
I am very disappointed as I felt that he should be given a chance with us. He has a decent goalscoring record, is an international player & is only 25 so I hope that we have negotiated a very good fee for him.
There was something about his body-language that seemed to suggest he wasn't entirely happy here. I don't recall him giving any interviews, no comments in the press from him expressing his hopes & desires to force his way into the reckoning at our club, his pre-season goals he scored recently ... no expression on his face, little interaction with team mates, nothing in fact.
I think Warnock looks for character in his players - maybe Saadi didn't have that something about him, on the training ground and in the dressing room?
Disappointed. Looked strong and physical and a good shout. Never the less, hope we got a fee , and his wages off the books. O'keefe and no one next please.
Also disappointed, and a bit confused.
Warnock said he was prepared to give him a chance, he did, Saadi scored a couple and thought he'd have done enough to stay.
Still, I trust warnock, maybe Saadi was on silly money and warnock needs to free up some cash to make another signing?
Still think the most likely reason he's left is that he didn't settle in this country.
Undisclosed fee according to the club - can't see it being too much, but I bet it's more than we paid for him.

I will move on when I am ready thanks
Saadi is 4 years younger than Fred, recently won his first international cap & is deemed good enough for a French first division side to grant him a 4 year contract. On the other hand we have paid £1.6m for a striker who has scored 46 goals in the last 8 seasons at Championship & League 1 level.
I know it is not fashionable to criticise Warnock but I feel that we may well have got the rough end of the deal here.
what deal? there was no 'deal'. the two transfers are unconnected. A deal implies if one didn't happen the other one couln't but in tis cae that is not true. Ward was already a done deal.
Maybe the club was made an offer they didn't want to refuse for a player they knew didn't really want to be here anyway.
Better to take the money or keep paying him for sitting on his arse?
I guess as fans we assume players love the club and city as much as we do. When in reality they are guns for hire and have no real connection with us. It's not often a player such as Mcnaughton , or a Whitingham fully buys into it.
