Finchley_Ram Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 With Macca stating he wants to sign Dawkins, DCFC may have too many strikers.. Martins Russell Ward Dawkins Bennett Sammon With Sammon at the bottom of the picking order and january coming, shall we sell him or do you think he still has a future?

Srg Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 What's Dawkins got to do with Sammon? Completely different type of player... Not forgetting they actually play different positions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Wonder what the response would be if we offered him to Sheffield United for half-a-million Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not forgetting they actually play different positions Dawkins got nothing to do with Sammon, I didnt say otherwise. My point as macca signing another attacking player has Sammon got a future here? Macca hasnt really used sammon alot and Im assuming he must be one of the highest earners at the club. With January coming up, getting rid of him and getting someone else could be the best option.

Then ask if Sammon has got a future because we are signing another attacker? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then ask if Sammon has got a future because we are signing another attacker? Im making very clear sence. With Macca Wishing to sign Dawkins increasing our attack force and sammon isnt really getting a look in and also one of our high earners. Is there a future for him? regardless if sammon and dawkins are not simlar players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rams-R-us Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Simple answer is not. He may stay till the end of the season but can't see him here next season. I also think we'll sign a striker in jan pushing him further away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you mean getting rid of Salmon and use the money to bring in another striker - if so then that's a bit of a contradiction if you feel we have too many strikers. If Martin gets injured or suspended, his logical replacement from within the current squad is Salmon - no other 'striker' fits the bill Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott129 Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 You're listing 2 different positions there... You've got the main striker where Martin's got that nailed down and Sammon behind him. Then you've got the wingers with Ward, Russell and Dawkins fighting it out for the starting spot and Bennett just behind them. Sammon's still the main back-up for his position. Albeit a very expensive one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eddie Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Sammon is the only natural cover / replacement for Martin, Finchley An injury or suspension (Martin is one booking away from a one game ban) would mean a square peg replacement or a change of formation if Sammon goes. Your dislike of Sammon is one thing, but would you happily sabotage a winning formation or style for a game just to be rid of him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stive Pesley Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Sammon is just a different option up front. He doesn't really have a natural competitor for his place. If he's happy to sit on the bench and play bit parts where we need to try a different attacking option then he'll stay. He'll never be first choice though as we'd never start a game with the option of "big man holding up play and blasting shots into the stand" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynny Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Russell could be the main striker, could he not? Front 3 of Dawkins Russell Ward not to bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Your dislike of Sammon is one thing, but would you happily sabotage a winning formation or style for a game just to be rid of him? I would actually prefer to see Bennett play in that role if Martin was suspended, as his touch and control is superior to Sammons. I actually think we need another striker in the Martin mould if he does get injured/loss of form. That type of striker is the pivot in this teams style of play and currently is one of the few positions we don't have like for like cover. So as for Sammon's future? He needs to be hooked permanently and not thrown back into the pool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RodleyRam Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Sammon / Martin Dawkins / Ward / Bennett / Russell Unless we sign someone in Jan Sammon is still a big part of the matchday squad. If Martin gets injured he's an able replacement. He'll have a part to play at some point as the games come thick and fast. He'll do a job for us, give everything and is a good personality to have around the place... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bennett has potential but at the moment he's very raw and i'd trust Sammon much more for that position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Scarlet Pimpernel Posted December 3, 2013 Share Posted December 3, 2013 Agree with the Bennett comments. Jacobs is way ahead of Mason at the moment for me. Still very much undecided on Mason as to whether he will make it at this level. His first touch has been very poor lately and you can't teach that. Either he has it or he doesn't.

Still very much undecided on Mason as to whether he will make it at this level. His first touch has been very poor lately and you can't teach that. Either he has it or he doesn't. I guess we all see different things. I like Jacobs but don't see him as as a holding striker in the Martin mould, I get that if we were talking about using him in a different formation if Martin wasn't available. As for Sammon I just don't see it and would rather play Callum Ball as a Central Striker. For me this is more of Bennett's natural position, he's strong and has good control. I think when he has come on in wider positions he is trying to force it a bit too much. The only time Sammon is effective is if the ball is in front of him in wide areas, I think he is woeful in the central are especially when high balls come to him in that position.
