Rasiak Situation

[Saint Charlie]

Great win today, and other results not too bad either. However, with Rasiak scoring today, and Watford looking like they will struggle it does seem ludicrous that he is scoring goals for a team within a couple of places as us.

 

I understand why we loaned him out, and this isnt really a gripe at anyone particularly but it could throw up some strange scenarios later in the season if both teams were still near the bottom.

 

Probably we didnt expect them to be near the bottom and maybe eventually they wont be but I doubt if we can recall him and loan him somewhere else but IMO would way rather a loan like Saga's rather than to someone in the same league.

 

I mean the guy could score the goals that relegate us which is ludicrous and wouldnt really put him personally in a great position either.

 

(Its slightly different with John as he is only at Bristol City until Jan but I think GR is at Watford for the whole season).

Imo they will both be sold in january anyway!

[Saint Charlie]

Rasiak I don't think can be bought as is on loan for the whole season. Watford won't buy him then even if they wanted him, they would just wait til the summer.

[CHAPEL END CHARLIE]

It's a season-long loan with Watford having an option to purchase in January . I'd be surprised if we ever saw Rasiak playing for SFC again .

he is out of contract in the summer.

I thought we signed him on a four-year deal?

Correct

You could also argue that Rasiak weakens the Watford side due to his inability to close down from the front or retain possession from long balls...

 

If he's not scoring, he can be a liability to a struggling team, and not just financially.

 

I say, let them keep him!

 

[SFC Forever]

I second that.

Apparently Boothroyd has been sacked today so Greg probably won't know where he stands until a new man comes in.

my mistake. That's interesting then. I guess we want him to score a few goals then to attract a buyer or another loanee.

 

I bet my bottom dollar that he returns here in the summer and we have to pay him right until he moves on the last day of August.

We simply cannot afford their wages!

[OldNick]

I do hope he is a season long loan and not just til january, we cant afford him back on the books

Somewhere around the penalty spot, I'd have thought..!
