nepal_villan Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 My guess is that there were some thresholds, like maybe appearances or goals, in the agreement with Fenerbahce where they could opt-out of purchasing him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted June 4, 2021 Share Posted June 4, 2021 Pay him up if so. Honestly wouldn't get a game for Birmingham City...or Solihull Moors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be the same for all fans. Sounds more like he's under contract to Tanzanian fans to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 He wasn’t brilliant, but I don’t think he was that bad tbh. I’d have him every time over Davis for example. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think most if the dislike came from his Twitter followers. They way they acted we expected Lewandowski He looked decent at the start and shit after covid. His 1st game people were raving he was a major upgrade on Wesley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 He did look pretty good tho in his first few appearances, got into some good positions, probably should have got one or two more than he did early on, seemed to have a bit of pace and a little bit of trickery and strength, then he just seemed to drop off a cliff for some reason. I’d be content with having him as an option potentially but unsure if it’s worth all the baggage, particularly the mentally unbalanced cult following he seems to have. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He isn’t responsible for some over enthusiastic supporters’ opinions. He is not at the standard of where we want to be though so doubt we will see him again. On the €6m agreed fee. Problem is I guess if he doesn’t agree to personal terms? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

osmark86 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 it isn't Samatta's fault that he has a fan following that is borderline cult-like. kind of feel bad for the guy as he seems like a really nice person. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Samatta is on a lot more but could attract a club to go on loan to that saves it. Davis is cheap and less desirable, so we can keep him around for a few minutes here and there without it hurting the balance sheet. If purely on ability then I think we have Samatta as backup. If someone comes in for him for another loan to pay his wages we’d probably let him go and use Davis. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think there are any circumstances in which a player can be compelled to go and play for another team. A club can't force a player to move.
