    Shame. Seems a decent level to send loans.

      They do, and it is.
      Should have used it more over the years.

        Agree, seems a missed opportunity.

          City sent Idriss Saadi on loan to Kortrijk for the 2016/17 season. He scored 16 goals for them but never returned to Cardiff.

          Incidentally, Ike Ugbo also scored 16 goals in his one full season in the Belgian top flight (2020/21). Food for thought.

            I'd completely forgotten about Saadi.

              You forgot the guy who won the prestigious Loan Watch player-of-the-season award that year? Have a word with yourself. You'll be telling me you'd forgotten about Etien Velikonja next.

              Saadi had a year left on his contract after his season at Kortrijk and we sold him to Strasbourg. It was an undisclosed fee but Wiki has it down as £1.35m. We've got the same option this time round with Isaak Davies (and Ebou Adams).

              Saadi went back to the Belgian league in 19-20 with Cercle Brugge but only got 3 goals in 16 appearances. Ike Ugbo also went back, with Genk, in 21-22. He got 3 goals in 18 appearances and was then sent out on loan.

                I know - I'm deeply ashamed! Don't worry though, I hadn't forgotten Velikonja. 😁

                  I remember there being some excitement when we signed Saadi, youngish striker who'd played in Ligue 1 and scored a bunch in Ligue 2. Did he ever even play for us?

                    Have you seen this ?
                    Who the **** is Steve Tucker to speak of the great Etian in such terms ?
                    I remember the goal he scored against Rangers like it was yesterday.

                      This goal? It's at around 0.37 here.



                      I was going to say 'what did Steve Tucker know?' but then I saw he described Rangers as fallen Scottish giants so he was obviously an intelligent bloke.

                        He played a grand total of 21 minutes for City - 13 minutes in 2-0 victory over Reading in November 2015 and 8 minutes in a 2-1 defeat at Fulham in April 2016.

                            Possibly, but I've no idea. I wasn't following things so closely then.

                              At least he found his level

                                I also remember a little excitement about him pre season and fans disappointed he left. Didn’t realise he had so few minutes for us.
