Hes done well. Deserves a chance next season.
Loan Etete there next season. See what he does out there.
Big goal for them if they can hold on.
Oh dear, they’re 2-1 down well into added time now.
How many has he got now about 10.?
Hard for them to catch Charleroi in the safe spot now - 5 points behind. Could overtake Molenbeek, 1 point ahead of them, for a playoff against a team from the division below.Quote:

Bellamy and Burnley saw enough in him to offer £1.5m.Quote:

He's the most natural goal scorer at the club.
I think he needed the loan and it will have done him the world of good whether he's here next season and beyond or moved on.
I wouldn't get too carried away, it's probably not quite championship level overall. Mark Harris has scored a similar number at Oxford in league 1, no one has yet mentioned it was a mistake to let him go.
Let's hope he's the saviour though as we absolutely could do with someone who knows where the net is.
I'm pretty sure that Kortrijk play 2 up front, and I think we would need to as well if he is going to be a success here, given how little suppport our strikers getQuote:

Yes Etete is another who I think would be a much better player playing alongside someone up front. You could probably say the same for Robinson and Meite too, also AshfordQuote:

And another one today.
Kortrijk look like they are down though
Shame. Seems a decent level to send loans.Quote:

Agree, seems a missed opportunity.Quote:

I'd completely forgotten about Saadi.Quote:

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?Quote:

I remember the goal he scored against Rangers like it was yesterday.

This goal? It's at around 0.37 here.Quote:

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.Quote:
