I have a feeling he'll go to Toquay permanately in the Jan Transfer Window freeing up some money & wages for PDC to bring players in other areas. Shame really as he is a decent prospect

Wouldn't blame Billy if he left us for Torquay. If it goes to plan and we do go up he will be even further away from getting a starting place at Swindon. Think he is a good player but more games at this level is the only way he is going to improve.

Would be a good move for him going there, a team in the same division, hes constantly in the starting line up, the fans appreciate him....and if he came back to us he would not be in PdC's starting line up.
Good luck to him.

I'd love Bodin to be a success for us. But I think he should take the move.
As already said, at the moment he is a good prospect, but he's not going to be getting near the first team any time soon (in my opinion).

If you're the son of an STFC Hall Of Fame left back, then the best career move is to go to Torquay.

Judging by what PDC and Ling have said recently it will be a loan deal, though originally PDC was talking about selling him.
Can't see the point of selling him myself. Give it the rest of the season on loan and then review in the summer. It's not like we'll get much for him nor will it free up much in the way of wages.

Seems to me that were doing the sensible thing judging by comments on radio at weekend from wray and PdC. Taking a look at him to judge how he's progressed and whether he's likely to feature in first team this season.if not let him go back to Torquay til end of season. I'd certainly like to keep him longer-term if he's progressing as Ling suggests.

I would hope that we loan him to them for the rest of the season, as he isn't going to get games here.
Also, if we were to sell him now, we would get next to bugger all for him, but if he does continue to improve he may turn into a useful asset for the future.

Think him spending the rest of the season at Torquay then coming back here at the end of the season is the best solution.

Billy Bodin featured in the sports round up on BBC Wiltshire about 5:40, and he was saying he wants to be playing and would rather be at Torquay getting regular games than here and not be in the first team.
If you look at his record as a goalscoring winger in a side doing well at present, why would we be looking at buying Rooney? Just bring Billy back and accept he is a winger more than a striker.

Get him back and get him in the side. He's scored as many league goals as Ritchie has.

I think the issue there is that before Bodin went to Torquay he said he wanted to play as a striker but may have to settle for a place on the wing at torquay, it may depend where he see's himself now if he still see's himself as a striker or if he is willing to move out onto the wing that may decide his future here as if I remember correctly PDC wanted to convert him to a winger but Bodin wasn't up for the idea |
