G STAR RAM Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Devils advocate here, I am by no means a Sammon fan but did he not bring more to the team than Bamford? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rynny Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Did we need the sly dig at Clough? Yep I think he's surplus to requirements, dint think Clough will come back for him.Where is the sly dig at Clough? Clough has already been in for him once, why not again?

Dunno, Bamford is a luxury few teams in the championship can afford, Sammon, is someone you bring on to hassle and run a game down in the last 25-30 mins would depend on his wages but i wouldnt be fussed to see him go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't see one either but I'll throw one in so not to disappoint..... Sammon is the kind of striker a poor manager would sign. Bamford is the kind of striker a quality manager with an eye for talent would sign. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammon, for all of his faults, is good for pressuring defenders and he did pop up with a few late winners early on in our decent run. Bamford has an eye for goal but brings absolutely nothing else to our team, although this may be because he was played out of position. I always thought he was weak and gave the ball away cheaply.

Gary Teale Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Well as Bamford scored double the goals and was only here half the season it's a none contest. Salmons best quality seems to be running around. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRBee Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Even as a sub you have to score goals occasionally. I got fed up of seeing the ball bounce off him. What does Sammon offer as a sub that Mason Bennett can't? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can totally understand why you're saying about Sammon and Bamford. But we didn't pay 1.2 million to do just that. Paid that because he was our main striker at the time. Regards Bamford, agree lazy and at times periphal to the game. But no one said Gary Lieneker was all running and chasing. He was bang lazy but scored plenty. Depends what type of player you're after up top I suppose. Horses for courses and all that jazz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndyinLiverpool Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 £1.2m and £15,000 p/w!!! Signing this donkey really was the start of the end for clough. He tried so hard to sign him too. As if he were the last piece in the jigsaw of success. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlsonDerby Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 He had such a great game early on when we spanked Watford 5-1, bursting through their defence and scoring. After that game I thought we were onto something. I think it is this game that made me have so much time for him because you saw what he was capable of.

I clutched on to that straw for a long time too. The bloke played out of his skin that day, but the whole team did...he's put in a lot of horrid performances since and he's done nothing to suggest to me he was worth the alleged figure, or even half of it. He was a diabolical signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was a diabolical signing. You're not wrong I just really wanted it to work ha. He'll do a job in this division but we've moved up a gear and he's been left behind, just as theo was last summer.

Possibly Watford away this season as it was a late winner, though he'd just missed a similar one on one a few minutes earlier so he'd done enough to be moaned at even with the goal haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
May Contain Nuts Posted May 30, 2014 Share Posted May 30, 2014 Too much of a gap between his brain and his feet, if he was 8 inches shorter he'd be lethal I'm telling ya. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
