Ronaldo Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 The guy's nearly 25 and his last two loans to Championship and League One yielded no interest, so he's predictably back here. It'll be nothing short of a disgrace if he gets another contract. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

shintonsghost Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 done nothing wrong yesterday, it wasnt cringeworthy, the crowd were relaxed and were having a laugh with Sammy. if he performs, takes his chance who knows? Gouffran although no world beater was utter dog shit till Rafa came in and now is half decent, maybe Rafa can spark this lad. the Ameobi's have a natural talent/skill but it was their lazy demeanor that let them down imho Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gouffran although no world beater was utter dog s*** till Rafa came in and now is half decent, maybe Rafa can spark this lad. the Ameobi's have a natural talent/skill but it was their lazy demeanor that let them down imho Agree with that post apart from the last part, maybe it's the case with Sammy but by all accounts Shola was always first on/last off the training pitch which was why he was often (inexplicably in a lot of cases) given new contracts despite his poor goalscoring return. He was looking at his best under Roeder until that hip injury - which was picked up and then aggravated by playing for the team for a year with it due to our injury problems - finished his career off. To label Shola as lazy is wrong. I think Sammy has plenty of ability but he just doesn't have a brain and this coincides with no end product, headless chicken and blind alley running. Rafa could find something to make him a useful player at this level and maybe even as a sub in the PL depending on investment. His directness and skill really troubled Rotherham and although it's 20 minutes in one game against the bottom of the league team, I wouldn't begrudge him a few more appearances off the bench.

Cronky Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Hoyed on for 20 minutes, played well, Ronaldo's RAGING. Sounds like a perfect day I'm not sure why his career stalled after a promising start, but it's not easy now for a young player to come through the ranks at a Premiership club, and particularly one where there's a bit of pressure and the manager will find it difficult to take risks. Dummett's the only recent one who springs to mind, and that was after a loan spell. Sammy's interview on NUFC tv was interesting. I did wonder whether he had previously suffered a slight dose of Rangeritis. (and I stress the word slight) Things had maybe been a bit easy, he'd got into the first team and perhaps he then took his foot off the gas. The reality is that unless a player has a continuing commitment to improve, then he'll slip backwards. It sounds like he did well yesterday, so fingers crossed. Rafa may be conservative and stubborn, but I think he's also fair-minded and will judge him on what he sees. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Let's not rewrite history. He didn't play awful but to say he played well is a step up from reality.

Ronaldo Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Howay, man. We're talking about Sammy Ameobi and a completely open game against the worst side in the league and he managed to spend his time on the pitch basically repeatedly losing the ball. He's a nice lad but if you were to talk to him about his football for 10 minutes you could basically close this thread. Making enough wedge to live reasonably comfortably and help his family a bit is the absolute fullest extent of his ambitions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest neesy111 Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 He was ok yesterday, but he's proven across his career he's not good enough even at Championship level. Ask Boro and Cardiff fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 He might get a couple of sub appearances while Atsu & Diame are away. We're in the championship. There's absolutely nothing to be worried about. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I wasn't talking about Sammy, but the insinuation made. The lack of progress in the transfer market, and the strong rumours of Ashley's interference, is a worrying trend going forward. To ignore it, with Ashley's track record, is flat out stupid. Personally I'd be very surprised if Rafa isn't miffed that we haven't brought anybody in. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Foluwashola Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 Not in the business of defending Ashley but there's no point in throwing silly money about for Championship quality players for the sake of 5 months. Genuinely Expect some serious investment in the summer, probably being naive. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted January 22, 2017 Share Posted January 22, 2017 I can't imagine Benitez would be pleased if we brought no one in, because he obviously feels that investment is necessary to secure promotion. But January can be a difficult market and it certainly seems that way in 2017, because there isn't much movement anywhere. We're ten points clear of third and the fees for incoming players stands at well over £100million since McClaren came in. I wouldn't be surprised if we didn't buy anyone; the risk of continuing with what we have looks fairly low-ish at this point. I can't believe I'm saying this, but 'summer is the real test'. If we fail him in terms of recruitment, he'll kick off and possibly leave and I doubt anyone could blame him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
