I thought he had been doing alright the last few games

http://www.swindontownfc.premiumtv.co.uk/page/News/NewsDetail/0,,10341~926055,00.html

Brentford want to sign him, can't do it til the jan window, makes sense a two month loan deal.

good, rather free space for someone else

Headline on Clubcall website:

Bees swoop for Swindon ACE

That's brilliant.

say what you want about him but he has suprised me this year.not as bad as people made him out to be tbh

how many games has he played and how many goals???

Well it's to a higher level!

Good luck to him.

Sturrock isnt fucking about is he?  Fola was alright, but I'm not going to cry about it.

I'll remember him for the sublime skill on the touchline v lincoln skinning a couple of men then miscontrolling the ball into touch 3 seconds later.  :D

sums him up nicley.

Bit surprised and disappointed myself. He had variable quality but was a 100% player. And he was a handful and a different option.

If it's paving the way for a new striker then that's a different matter. And it's a step up for Fola so good luck to him.

Most of all I'll miss the "do-do-do Fola Onion Bhaji' song

lets face it he is no big loss is he? i'm mean really come on

I would have liked to have seen him play more before forming my judgement. Disappionted to see him go.

 :nod:

Cant help but think Lukas' midweek hattrick influenced this desision, along with the need to juggle our resources in order to sign this zaboub character.

Bit of a shame, whatever people think of him out of all our strikers he caused the most problems just through being impossible to mark as even he didnt know what he was doing.

All the same interesting to see Mr Sturrock getting things moving so quickly, exciting times ahead me thinks   :D

Boooooooo!

hes my favourite player but that mostly because hes ace  and rubbish at the same time.

Sturrock out!

Agreed... Jutkiewicz is a very promising player and lets be honest... Fola was infuriating at the best of times... Yes, commitment,  but we need to finish games.

Brownlie might get a go now.

6 starts 2 goals, 1 in 3 game average thats better than alot of our strikers, the fact Brentford want to take a look at him shows he has something about him.

Good luck to him i say

lets hope they give us some cash for him .. £50k?

Bit suprised as I liked Fola .. hope he does well for Brentford .. but I think Sturrock has certain formulas in mind .. ie lots of crosses and people who can head a ball in .. Fola fitted neither of these

I take it that your choosing to forget the cup game he played and the 9 sub appearances making it not such amazing reading.

Either way he's gone to higher levels now so good luck to him but i don't think we're missing much to be honest and I wouldnt be surprised if they dont want him come january

Brentford have never played football he will be their sort of player.

Fuck him.

Well, he's clearly not Sturrock's kind of player is he? The Accrington game summed him up really. Missed an absolute nailed on sitter in the first half which would have put us one up but did really well to set up Peacock for our equalizer.

Sturrock obviously knows what he wants. That has to be good 8)

Surprised by this, though Luggy must know best, seeing all that goes on. Fola always looked our most penetrative attacking threat, close to goal, except for occasional flashes from Roberts. He also looked better than Shakes and Brown for wing play and crossing , who have been very frustrating.
He has been a winger before, and if Luggy requires "lots of crosses from wings", high up the field, then maybe it's also goodbye to Shakes and Brown.

Money talks - Fola's young so we'd be able to sell him.
Maybe Sturrock/Board are looking for some cash in January...

He bangs in 4 in 5 games at Brentford and we're talking 250k or something - he is only 21?

agree!

Brentford wont stump up £250k

a bit surprised at this but obviously Sturrock doesn't rate him. tbh if Luggy wants to bring in league one standard players then Fola does not really make the cut as i only think he is league 2 standard

At the end of the day he had a good game against Brentford in the cup, but apart from that he has flattered to deceive.

Well done Lugger.

Im just totally bewildered that ANY club should want ANY of our players!Especially one from a higher div

where did fola come from?

Cambridge United.

Brezovan, Weston, Ifil, Evans maybe Smith & Williams. Other than them I'd say a higher league club coming in for one of our players would need their head read!

An on form Roberts can do a job in a higher league. Peacock too though never as a 20 goal a season striker obviously.

When does his contract run out? We'll probably end up selling him i think... Make a bit of money on an average player.

Oh dear, another optimist - whats your prediction for our position finish? 24th I presume?  floghorse

if you go by games started i would hazard a guess that his ratio is better than peacocks.i may be wrong though

He's straight into the team tomorrow. :shock:

he'll be straight back to us in January - thats my vote anyway

I don't rate the bloke at all, but what's the betting he scores tomorrow?

hahahaha, was the k a typo? we'd be lucky to get £2.50 for him.

we've got a wealth of strikers at the club - peacock, roberts, brownlie, jutkiewicz, caton at a push - so if we can offload one then we might as well. brentford were obviously impressed by him in the cup.

personally i've never really rated him although i admire his effort, the bloke's talentless and if it wasn't for his size and pace he'd never be a footballer.

He was only given 12 months, so any cash received will be a bonus.
Im a bit disappointed as i thought he had something about him other than the obvious.

Let's see what this French fella is all about.
