Sheffield Wednesday have signed Zayette on a 2 year deal! I wonder if he'll ditch them for another club like he did with us!
If he can remove the errors and crazy decision making out of his game then they've got a good centre half on their hands, so good luck to him! Him and Gardner reunited!
Zayatte requested a release so he could move back to be with his family in France. He then immediately signed for a club in Turkey. Though it didn't matter, if he's just asked for a release to move to Turkey, we'd have released him.
Is that what took it so long? I seem to remember it taking some time before we released his registration, something about compensation was included as well I think. I did like Zayatte, he had good attributes for a centre back but he just went crazy and lost it randomly making silly mistakes or very rash challenges.
I think we were a bit miffed for a while, as he requested a release on compassionate grounds, which turned out to be bollocks.
Just checked the BBC story on his move to Turkey and it said we received 'a nominal compensation fee'.
Played a large part in us staying up. Ye he was clumsy but he was also whole hearted and threw himself into a lot of challenges he shouldnt have done. Good luck to him and thanks for the part he played in our best ever season.
Zayatte certainly had his moments.... one of those players who could be brilliant and totally incompetent and wreckless in equal spades. Happy days. He'll do OK for the Weddies. All they need now is to sign Aaron McClean to ensure there will be more goals scored from the back (own net) the by the strike force.
Zayatte was brilliant at first but then he just became a liability. Ive never known anyone score so many own goals, every single game I half expected it.
I always liked Zayatte. He had some mad moments but he did the basics of defending which some of our defenders at the time didn't.
