Farlz Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Don't get me wrong, he did look poor after the league restarted but I'm a bit surprised the club are just giving up on him after 6 months. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s brutal, but when Dean & Co. sat down and asked whether he could take us where we wanted to go, if the answer was “no” then getting rid now makes sense. If we can get a loan fee and £5M for him in 12 months that’s a decent result. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AV82 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Alexander Sorloth arrived at Palace for a similar fee, looked a dud and then hit 24 goals on loan at Trabzonspor in Turkey last season. Rumours are he's now being sold for £20+ million. Food for thought re. Samatta. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonVillian Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Would keep as 3rd choice striker tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wilko154 Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 Find this quite sad that he's spending his weekend on his own kicking a ball around. Would like him to stay and prove everyone wrong. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Otherwise it is a risky move to leave us so light in attacking options again That could be the plan. But then again it could be like last summer when we obviously had a forward lined up but it then didn't go through, which led to the situation why we bought Samatta in January.

Yep it is me again in the Sama thread. It is because he isnt even remotely close to the level required. There is not even a debate to be had I expect on him making the grade here or improving sufficiently enough. He is a write off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No comparison pal, I'm behind all our players 100% but when they are not good enough or can't handle the pressure then we must be decisive and act fast, times have changed.

Right, but what about all the duds (let's say who performed at Samatta's level for us) which were offloaded after a single season and went on to do nothing? I would submit they would be the majority, and they never get mentioned. Put under this perspective, I'd happily run the risk and offload Samatta, especially considering he, unlike younger "duds" Is hardly at the stage in his career where you would normally expect massive improvements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a joke, may not have come across. Not sure i can come to the same conclusion on Sama yet, lots of external factors involved that could explain why he looked a totally different player pre and post lockdown. However, the club know more behind the scenes and if it means they want rid, I'm not going to seriously question it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Worst case scenario he flops and we cut our losses, best case scenario we make back our £ and then some. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villan_of_oz Posted September 21, 2020 VT Supporter Share Posted September 21, 2020 I'm very thankful that Samatta posse hasnt infiltrated VT, they are unbearable of on other social media platforms.

Mantis Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 If he goes I presume it's definite we'll be getting another striker in then? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xela Posted September 21, 2020 Share Posted September 21, 2020 I'd be very disappointed if we let him go without at least 2 new players coming in - Rashica and a striker. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
