Inside Walsall's Aaron Pressley deal: January rebuff and fending off competition
The 2-0 defeat at Barrow in April still sends shivers down the spine of every Walsall fan who was there to witness it.
One of the stars of the show was the Bluebirds' domineering 6ft 4in target man, who proved uncontainable, especially for returning Saddlers skipper Donervon Daniels.
It was perhaps the first time Walsall fans had set eyes on Aaron Pressley, but Sadler was well aware of the terrifying threat that he posed, and had been for sometime.
In fact, Pressley was on his radar in January, but the 23-year-old opted against a loan switch due to Nathan Lowe's prolific form.

"Aaron was probably into the mix of stuff we spoke about in January in regards to things that didn't happen due to the Lowe situation," Sadler revealed.
"But he's certainly someone who had been on my radar for 12 to 18 months."
