My knowledge of these loan deal contracts is nil, so maybe I’m talking nonsense ?

Anyone able to inform me ?
As stated, we've offered him a contract which he hasn't signed and we can't exactly force him to. I'd imagine he'd like some assurances regarding future appearances as well as a fair wedge of dough, be interesting to see if his agent re opens negotiations now that TP's gone.

He's VERY big mates with a certain Mr Berahino, as is Tahvon Campbell, another promising forward who's on loan at Solihull Moors. Tahvon doesn't appear to have made the same impression there as young Tyler has with the Saddlers, appearances and stats posted below.

Must admit I liked the look of Tahvon when he played against Rhyl F.C for the U23's during pre season, and thought he'd have done well on loan at a higher level than that afforded by Solihull Moors.

Don't know Leko's contract situation but after a bright start to life at Bristol City his performances dropped off significantly and he has come in for a lot of criticism re work rate and general lack of application. He appears to be struggling a little at the moment.

As you can see form the links posted Tahvon and Leko have different agents while Tyler's isn't listed on his Transfermarkt page. Saido's agent isn't listed on Transfermarkt either, but the chap who oversaw his move to Stoke is Saif Rubie who was suspended by the FA in 2006 over an 'administrative oversight' but had his suspension revoked following a small fine.

It will be interesting to see if this chap's name comes up when if Tyler moves/stays.
