loki679 Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 He's still very unpredictable and hard to judge which way his career will go. http://cache.images.globalsportsmedia.com/soccer/teams/150x150/3287.png Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth Crooks Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 Was pretty chummy with HBA when I've seen him in pics and vids like. Big...fucking....mistake. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I think Sammy lacks balance, awareness and desire tbh. Those issues compounded with the fact he doesn't really have a position will stop him from ever really being a good player. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pata Posted September 23, 2014 Share Posted September 23, 2014 I think Sammy lacks balance, awareness and desire tbh. Those issues compounded with the fact he doesn't really have a position will stop him from ever really being a good player. He has the raw talent (decent pace, technique and dribbling) but your assessment is probably very close to what will happen. Hard to see him getting the minutes he needs here. Hope he can find a good team in the Championship and get back to the PL that way with a smaller club. That article is ridiculous though, last time he had a run in the team he was easily one of the better performing players. Pardew is a joke. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As for his career path, SanToon is mostly correct, imo. I do rate Sammy as a player, but I think he'll end up spending the next five-six years or so performing fairly well (though still lacking end-product which is quite obviously never going to be a part of his game), eventually get his way back into Premiership through being bought cheaply or promoted, score a brace at SJP for another team, record a few hilariously shameful appearances for Nigeria, and end up back in obscurity, probably abroad.

That's some detail! I don't doubt his talent. What I'm unsure about is his determination and ambition. He seems quite a laid-back, happy-go-lucky character and I wonder whether he has the drive and the aggression to really push himself. Either that, or the gap between what Pardew thinks he could achieve and what he does achieve is creating a bad impression, regardless of the actual value of his contribution compared to others.

Beren Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 He'll be a superior Wayne Routledge in a few years once a decent coaching set up gets its hands on him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 He'll be a superior Wayne Routledge in a few years once a decent coaching set up gets its hands on him.

The College Dropout Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 He'll be a superior Wayne Routledge in a few years once a decent coaching set up gets its hands on him. Routledge is significantly better IMO, although I quite like Sammy. By the age of 22 Wayne Routledge had played over 100 competitive games for Crystal Palace and looked a great prospect. Ameobi's 22 and played less than 40 competitive games. Truly, if he had ambition he would demand a loan and regular first team football. Even if it's league 1.

Unbelievable Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 Just seen Pardew's comments, what a load of crap. Sammy should just demand to be transfer listed for the sake of his career. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tachikoma Posted September 24, 2014 Share Posted September 24, 2014 The end is nigh: http://www.newsnow.co.uk/A/734927723?-21483:5807 Harsh and this comes out, after he goes on record saying "we need to be professional"? He must have thought that the Gods wanted him to stay after the Hull 2-2 and nothing can touch him now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pilko Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Looked like something approaching a PL player today. Surely has to take Gouffran's spot in the team in the short-term? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Watch this space for more drivel from Pardew about how "we was tellinh him he needs to step up and take his chances as he is running out of chances..on today's form we are happy he's taken my advice and performed well." Or just the fact he was given a chance and put on the pitch may have helped. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TRon Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Not really sure why people hate on this lad so much. For someone who isn't a big money signing, he always seems to give opposition players a hard time when he gets a chance. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

samag Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Great cross for the goal. At least he looks to be positive when he comes on. It may not always work, but for me a winger first job is to be positive take people on put in crosses, more than just track back and help your full back.

toontownman Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Makes more of an impact than Gouff, Cabella or Obertan. Frustrating how much potential we actually have in our squad ruined by the guff coaching it. As mentioned earlier, I wouldn't be opposed to Aaron's and Sammy either wing. Depending how he settles Cabella behind Cisse. Surely even numnuts has to realize now we should be switching back to 2 up front. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest neesy111 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Remember this lad was supposed to be breaking into the team 3 years ago. Its about time he developed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree, one of the faults we always seem to have had at this club, we never been able to develop enough players from the youth/reserve teams.
