Dale gone

Wonder why he's not available for selection? Locked himself in his room or something?
 
I remember the Crewe fans weren't happy with the manner in which he left so I'm sure he'll receive a warm welcome back

He moped around before leaving which pissed the fans off massively I think. He may need to find somewhere else to go or go grovelling on twitter.

I would guess due to his lack of involvement the Critch has deemed him not very good value for money at £500k!

Money is obviously tight and we are in desperate need of midfield players so I guess all resources are being diverted there, as well as to Beesley. The Beesley transfer seems a bit of a gamble, he's just had a short run of decent form in L2 age 25, but he's cheaper than Dale's agreed fee and worth a go I guess, in a position we need cover/rotation for Madine.

Could well be.
 
The other angle is that the Brannagan option is more attainable than perhaps we realise coupled with the saved expenditure from Dale and the inclusion of Thorniley in a deal .

All of a sudden that buy out clause be it £1m 1.2 1.5 etc comes within reach.

Given our midfield shortage Dale would have been a gimme so something else is playing out.

I suspect there could be a direct link with Brannigan. We only signed Dale at the last minute when the Brannigan deal fell through in the summer so maybe Dale going back means the Brannigan deal is now happening.
 
I was disappointed in what I saw in Owen. Barring that first game, he seemed to lack the confidence to beat the man or to make a forward run into the box

I’m sure there’s a good little player in there somewhere but not for me at this stage
 
Shame about Dale as he looked a talent in his short appearance against Reading. Looks lightweiight though and clearly he has had big problems with injuries so for the club it's best we don't take the offer at this stage to sign him on a permanent deal.
 
I feel sorry for his girlfriend having to leave these shores 😟 I feel she had a lot to offer😁
 
Was one of our 'meh' signings this season alongside Connolly, Casey, James, Sterling and John-Jules.
Few more misses than hits for me in our summer dealings.

That's a bit harsh bearing in mind we have stepped another level and I would say at this point over-achieved. Connolly, James and Sterling have all played a part in that success. Casey is one for the future and John-Jules is the only fail (as Woodburn and Kemp were last season). Covid has made the loan market more difficult as even the big Premier League clubs are thinking twice before loaning out young talent.
