Sadlier out for a proper wing back makes sense. Sadlier out for nobody would be silly.

What if we've decided Izzy's return to fitness means we're better off not carrying Sadlier's wages?

Suicidal.

I still think we're a wing back and midfielder short. Obviously a CB if one goes too. Keeper situation can wait until the summer.

This. But with Thomason being back earlier than expected that maybe mitigates midfield somewhat.

Sadlier was given a chance, he didn't take it.

A chance is a decent run of games in a position that suits. He’s not had that.

Midfield needs better quality/fit, certainly. In terms of bodies we are already heavy, though.

Currently at 7 for the 3 central positions, with 6 who can play the deeper 2 and 5 who can play the more attacking ones - depending how we set it up. Will be 8 for 3 places when Thommo is back.

A lot of money in there that could probably offer more return.

Yes, 'fit' is more what I meant. I feel we're one light, the final piece of the jigsaw if you will. Thomason coming back and playing like he was pre-injury would be great, but it's a big ask.

You don't need to be in the right position to do the most basic aspects of the work.

As Evatt said, he never showed the basic x, y, z of being a Bolton player at this current moment.

Pedersen managed to do the most basic aspects at left back, because he cared enough to do it. I have no issue with Sads, but he was given a year to bother and didn't. So we move on.

[Worthy4England]

I'd much prefer us to get a WB for cover - no problem about that. I'd like a better second keeper than Dixon too. From the narrative, it's clear Sadlier would rather be down South with his "extended family" and playing regular, than up here and not.

The world isn't "risk free" unfortunately, and if we ended up with Adabeyjo, Jerome, Shortire, Williams and N'lundulu for Dapo, Baka, Beck and Sadlier, then we'd have mitigated some risk at LWB, some at No 10, added some firepower we were all screaming about, but maybe increased our risk a little on WB cover...

Whatever we do, you're going to see risks. And should they come back to haunt us, I'm sure we'll be reminded.

We'll see what happens with exists/arrivals from that department after tomorrow, I suppose.

He can be as fit as he likes - he simply isn't good enough.
If that is the thinking then personally I'd say it's a dreadful decision.

[GhostoftheBok]

Ade official now. Good good.

[irie Cee Bee]

Ade official now. Good good.

Wow..take a bow Sharon and Board. You have backed the club brilliantly.

Good league two player for me. But Bradley will be suspended at some point soon and we need far better than Issy. As nice a bloke as he is. It would be a significant downgrade over Sadlier as back up.

[Dave Sutton's barnet]

Ade eligible for tomorrow

[sonicthewhite]

Well what a day so far, and it isn't even deadline day

[Worthy4England]

I'm worried deadline day might be shit. Poor planning from Evatt and the team.

Ade? Edmondson?
