Hes signing for free as a back up to what we currently have on lower wages than he was on before.
Are you really going to get the hump about signing a free back up player?
We've lost 7 players, and of all 7 that left, Sako is better than all of them.
I bet you cheered the goals he scored last season when he was in form before his injury.

If he comes back then I may well hand back my season ticket.
What a bloody joke!
He was never any good - a complete waste of wages.
Please tell me this is not happening.

Well, not exactly an inspiring transfer but in terms of attacking back up we've had worse. If we have another decent signing or two lined up then no problem with it, if this is all we're getting then it's poor really.

 

We were somewhere around Barstow, on the edge of the desert, when the drugs began to take hold...

I knew when I wrote it that I was wrong but I was so keen to rant that common sense did not prevail - apologies!
I still don't want him though

This is a no risk signing providing it is just to the end of the season. Our squad is desperately light and at his best he's not a bad option from the bench. He also knows the squad, the manager and seems a good bloke to have around.


I'm not going to lie and say I'm excited by this, but if rumours are correct his salary is only (in football terms) £30k pw and there is no fee, unlike with a loan, then it is a cheap signing of someone who don't forget scored important goals for us less than a year ago.

Agreed. Think it's a move that clearly reflects our financial situation and does add some needed depth. Parish states on the palaceTV interview that after Perri there maybe 1 or at a push 2 signings. So after Sako I won't be holding my breath for any others. Just hope Bakary can add some goals and Benteke/Wickham can stay fit and bag a few goals (fingers and toes crossed but I do believe they've got it in them).

Hopefully this low spending season will free up some funds for some investment in the future over the summer.

I will cheer any goal that we score - naturally.
However - I disagree with people on here saying it makes sense, good back up etc. - not for me.
I think it is a joke signing!

As for the "we have lost 7 players" - everyone said it was madness having low quality back up just to have numbers - now people are saying we need the numbers regardless of who they are?
Seriously - this man is the answer to our prayers - really?

Minimal downside but also minimal upside really. If we were determined to resign an old winger who had just failed at a Championship club I'd have preferred Bolasie who potentially has a far higher ceiling to reach again but there you go.

Perhaps he asked more than he was worth and/or didn't want to come back?

Also, at Fernabace he may get regular game time and European football. Can we promise him that?

Not likely. They're nearer relegation than European qualification and he's already cup tied this year.

The club have halved Sako's wages at least, by only having him for half the season.

 

Optimistic as ever

It will, we are simply paying off Sakhos large fee atm.

Hopefully,this wholesale clear out and good housekeeping does not come back and bite us in the bum should we suffer some unforeseen injury to key players resulting in our relegation.What false economy that would prove to be.

I can’t see why this is a surprise.
We offered Sako new terms last season and again at the end of the summer window when we only failed to get him because we didn’t have space in the squad.
He’s got a goal in him,knows how the team operates and is obviously rated by Hodgson.
He’s not a long term solution but could make a useful contribution from now until the end of the season.

My thoughts exactly. From what I recall, the only reason he wasn't still a Palace player was his agent telling not to accept a pay cut & that he'd get better elsewhere.

 

Will this be five? It's gonna be five! It IS five!

There are Villa fans that will tell you Yala is not worth the £70k+ a week he's on & we can't afford that kind of salary on a back up player.
