Those were the words of Mat Sadler just hours after the January transfer window opened. It was a bold and brave statement but have Walsall indeed finished the January transfer window in a strong position than they entered it?
Losing Nathan Lowe following his recall by Stoke City earlier in the window was always going to be difficult to replace. The 19-year-old hit the goal scoring trail from the moment he arrived at Bescot - plundering 15 league goals and another three in cup competitions.
Walsall have not been helped by the fact that they've collected just one win in four games since his departure. However, Sadler has stuck to his word when it comes to keeping hold of Walsall's most prized assets.
