Rumour - the Yak back

To be honest I can see this happening, and providing we offer very sensible money I think it's a no brainer - we know he can score, we know he'll fit in and given his torrid past few years he's probably keen to get back somewhere where he can feel some love. Plus our current attacking options consist entirely of Doreen from catering.

Wonder if this will have any influence on Mbengue staying? We can but hope...

Love the guy but he hasn't had a good season since Covid has he? Won't be mad if he does come back, but can see him having a similar season to Shane Long.

Yeah, but he's got a lovely smile xx

[Hound]

Despite the goal stats, he did still play a fair bit for Cardiff last year

And it is dropping a division - and imo there’s quite a drop in quality between these divisions

Reckon he’d do a decent job tbh

Good point. I'm in!

[Snowflake Royal]

If we start next season with Mbengue and Meite, the whole club will be one big smile.

[Sutekh]

It was pretty simple apparently. Watch who we sign next….

My best memory of the yak was when new cork Seth? Offered to buy his mum some flowers when his dad died

Whatever happened to that guy? Was actually an Arsenal fan iirc.

[AthleticoSpizz]

As long as ‘we’ don’t expect too much from him, and he is waged accordingly, then yes please.
Waged as a 25 games a season player….then most definitely a YES.

Nah, Seth was the Irish guy workingin the Irish embassy in Paris. You're think AscotexGunner, who used to be an arsenal fan, then switched to us but remained an arse

Pretty sure Seth posted on the EiL - MIA thread in AE last week.


As for The Yak, lovely guy, but of a legend but not totally convinced by resigning him.

Na, AsoctexGunner is an ex Arsenal fan. Seth is a closet Arsenal fan.

Didn't click at Cardiff but his best stuff was while he was here and I wouldn't be upset at seeing him return. Not sure the squad could handle the personalities of both Mbengue if he signs a new contract and Meite if he comes back.

[Rax]

I'm absolutely convinced that if Yaks plays for us in L1 - he'll rip the league a new one!

Given the intelligent play of Wing and Savage, he'll have a field day

[Snowflake Royal]

On their day, Yaks and Big Kelvin E will utterly destroy L1 fullbacks.

Would have to be the biggest pair of wingers ever.

Would rather we avoided on the basis that I feel it would be sentimental than actual ability.

If my memory serves me right, often he was a poor player for us and had 1 or 2 purple patches a season. If we want to get promoted we need players who can deliver consistently. He is a big personality which we liked here but sounds like it was downfall at Cardiff which also concerns me.

We can’t just bring in players not good enough for the division above on the basis that “they’d do a job in league one”. If he’s genuinely the best option we have then fair enough, but feel we should be looking for those who already play in the division.

I don’t think its fair at all to say he was often poor with a few purple patches.

You seem to be misrepresenting people's reasons for signing him too.

We're going to struggle very hard to recruit quality League One players with the potential to step up from within League One, especially without paying significant (at this level) fees to prize them away from.their current club.
