Yinka Casal has been released.  GOOD RIDDANCE

Source?

Do you have a thing against black people Gaz?

First Aaron Brown, then Yinka Casal ;)

It's on the OS

Yinka who?

Sad Day for everyone at the club I really think he could have been great

About time.

thats shocking. :-D

Yinka the Stinka

Good luck to him. Not his fault he was sub-standard, he was hardly going to turn down the chance to play for us.

I reckon he could do a job! ;)  Emptying bins or something!

Is it my imagination or do we finally seem to have a board who arent afraid to make decisions, irrespective if it costs a few bob?!!

Just need shot of Aljofree now and its all positive!

Another player who has joined us from an unknown and failed to make it. His career will probably be over now...

Well is best he goes now and trys to salvage his career rather than sitting rotting here

Another wage off the books, turn the lights off when you leave the building holding hands with Aljofree.....bye bye.

I am so glad to see some of the dead wood being released and the way our squad is shaping up is pleasing! 

Right decision to let him go, good luck to him.

about time.

I suspect he was one of the lower earners so it probably didn't cost as much to pay up his contract, it is more of the high earners like Aljokefree that need to be moved on to make more money available.

I am so not in the mood for "Aljokefree". If I could, I would poke you in the eyes for that.

More dead wood gone though, Still cant believe a fee was involved when he came!

As someone else has already said, it wasn't his fault he wasn't good enough. If you're offered a chance to play professional football, you take it.

Good luck to him.

Thanks for the effort.....Goodbye and Good luck.

I've played at the CG more times than Casal has.

Yes. But you're even worse than him, I mean, didn't you pay the club for the privilige?

Yes I did.

....but even worse than Casal, thats harsh man - really harsh.

Cheerio.  :bye:

Kasali Yinka Casal has joined FC Cluj in Romania!

I think they were the team who were in the Champions League last year! So he's done well there. From sixth in league 1 to top of the romanian league!

That cant be true!

Seems as though it may be true

Judging by one of the comments on the above website it looks like they've been YouTube'd:

We were you tube'd by Casal as well weren't we?

Cluj's forum talks more bollocks than us!

"have got two black sausages that were noticed by a pidbul and a buzzard (die @ Razvan) were expelled from their fourth league and are good to us what the hottest period in the history of acquisitions cf. force pitbul @ buzzard"

Best news of the year so far. Thank god he's finally off our books.

What did Cluj see in a player whos not good enough for League 1?

Must have seen his youtube video and checked him out on Champ Manager.

Also Patrick Kanyuka is at Cluj too?

Are we sure they aren't just on trial?

Casal has gone to Cluj, one of the clubs involved in the Austria pre season tours, that were organised by football agents.

He goes back to Cluj, they give him a few outings (maybe in the UEFA cup), and then the agents go back to another club in western Europe with their youtube video's and try to get another club to splash out £100k?

We got done on this one.

I dont know whether the club has decided to go back to Austria again? But I would hope the club would consider a different pre season tour this season.

Weird, I checked Wiki earlier and he had him down as playing for Cluj. I assumed someone was playing silly buggers.

Hero!

Extraordinary.....was there a mention of Swindon in the interviews?  Do you think they know his record here?  I've never been happy at the level of criticism against him because he showed some promise when he first arrived, but has obviously had a bit of a disaster since - but this move and the interview seems extraordinary, if Cluj are as big as people say they are.

That is amazing!!

Talk about falling into a barrel of thumbs and coming up sucking on a tit!!

Good luck to him..

Wilson said he hasn't signed for anyone yet but might end up at an Italian 4th division club, which is probably the equivalent of playing for Poole Town over here.

Fourth division equivalent over there would be the same as Northampton, Bournemouth, etc etc here.

In pretty much every other country, the football pyramid turns to shit after the top two (or at most three) leagues - no where else has the depth that we do in England. The Italian 4th division level is at best, equivalent to the Blue Square Premier but that is being generous.

Isn't even Serie C a lower standard than BSP? Seem to remember they get a few hundred average gates at best at Serie C level, if that's any guide

Their league 4, is pub league standard, even Darlington would muller  the top teams in that league.

The pro leagues in Italy are; Serie A, Serie B, Lega Pro Prima (two parallel leagues), Lega Pro Seconda (three parallel leagues). Average attendances for the bottom tier this season is 782, so as I said its BSP standard at best and that's being very generous.

We have higher average attendances in League One than they do in Serie B.

To be fair, quite often in the last 10 years you hear of Italians, French, Spannish fans comming over here watching a lower league game and being shocked that League 2 standard footballers are paid professional footballers.

Must admit that if I were a footballer, I'd prefer to play in lower leagues in Italy than here. Would be nice to see a bit of another country and the weathers better!

I thought the weather would be better too, but oh no, its fucking freezing in Italy in the winter. League 4 over there is our sunday league.

You wouldnt get paid for it. Casper Schmiechel is on £15k a week at Notts County. That must be a world record lower league football waste of money.

There is in Kanyuka's interview. http://video.clon.ro/video/47212/patrick-kanyuka-isi-doreste-sa-ramana-la-cfr-cluj (http://video.clon.ro/video/47212/patrick-kanyuka-isi-doreste-sa-ramana-la-cfr-cluj)

Amazing that we've offloaded fringe players to Norwich, Aberdeen and Cluj this year. Gives hope that we might actually make some decent money if we needed to move any of our good performers on. To think that we used to sign players with that little research.

Signed Kanyuka aswell?   :doh:

The Sporting Lisbon fan who I took to the Yeovil game, was very impresed with the standard...much better than she thought it would be.

The Bayer Leverkusen fan who came to Charlton v Swindon on boxing day was

A - Surprised at how close to the pitch the fans sit and
B - That nobody threw anything onto the pitch.

Bollocks - i spat my dummy out when the equaliser went in!

Eugh Patrick Kanyuka - Now that kid was an idiot!
