Been a great player for us over the years and can still do a job lower down this league. But im surprised Bastian didn't get rid during pre season. Maybe he was waiting foe Etu to arrive. He hardly beat a man last season and gone are the days he would make a few 30 - 40 yard runs per game. we were saying that he would be replaced for this season

Dont think its a case of Bastian just wanting his own team like jtfev says, think its more a case of him looking at the team and seeing where we can improve. We have brought in Chisolm and etu and have probably the leagues best winger in sharp, so Saxton's games with us will be very limited.

Surprised Fax are interested in him but If Warrancy is injured maybe just want cover for a few weeks.

There's always one!

There are a lot of unhappy Fev fans because of this signing, but guess we have to move on as does Tommy. He will be a good signing for Fax whether this is for a month or longer. However if it did turn out that Tommy sill has the oppotunity to play again in a Fev shirt I wouldn't be disapointed.

I would guess that Bastian believes he has better wingers at Fev than Tommy, and having never been a coach who am I to disagree.

Yeah theres always one like yourself who thinks they know everything.

Saxton leaving Fev has split opinion amongst the fans just like Finn has. Many think he can still do a job and are gutted he looks to be leaving, many like myself arn't bothered.

Its my opinion that we have had the best of him and I like the fans I go to the matches with I thought last season would have been his last for us.

To be Honest I think a lot of fev fans who dont like change are just using it as a stick to hit Bastian with

If you fax fans think you have signed one of the leagues best wingers then fair enough

If Saxton had signed for London or Bradford I Could see your opinion being different.

I see it a lot like when Barlow signed for Fev last year.

SAMs ripping it up at Leigh by all accounts.

It may give Tommy a new lease of life having a change with a different set up.
A month on loan suits all parties and if it works out he might like what he sees and come up with the goods on the field and stay a bit longer, if not nothing lost for either clubs or player.
I know I will be looking forward to seeing him in a fax shirt and giving him some support, as will others, he will be well received at Fax.

Most of the Fev fans moaning about tommy leaving are the ones who have probably never played a game in there lives, and dont want him to leave because he talks to them in the clubhouse. My opinion is Tommy is a great bloke well liked but his best days at Fev are behind him and he wouldnt of got many games in this year. But i do think a change of coach / scenery / team mates might just give him his spark back and i really hope it does. I like the bloke amount of times iv been driving the minibus and got in the ground early watching them warm up while the lads get smashed in the pub and every time Tommy came over to have 5 mins. He never made much sense lol but i hope it works out for him
