R.Bear Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Good luck to him and everything but he was complete trash. One of the worst players to put on the shirt in the Premier League era. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From reports, it could be about £2m in fee we've lost, plus about £0.6m in wages (which we'd have had to pay for someone) Given he was a replacement for Kodija - who the reported fee (transfermarkt.com) for was £2.7m, plus his wages for 6 months - our position in the end might actually be better than it would have been! Obviously, bringing in the right player would have been preferable, but the price for them in January might have been a lot more.

Dangerous to start the season with only 2 strikers again. Wesley isn’t back until January and even then he will take a while to get up to speed.

Agree Paired with him not really coming back after lockdown, not sure if he had depression or just loneliness or what but something wasn't right Not buying in to this worst player terrible signing stuff, think lockdown done him, good player in there somewhere, wouldn't be surprised to see him do a sorloth 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As a lot of people have if you read the response. If he has mates at the club, they will notice too. For the sake of 5 minutes writing, the club might have just left a couple of players a bit pissed off for their mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorloth was still learning at Palace. He arrived as a 22 year old i think. Very different. Samatta is soon turning 28 and wasn't even prolific in Belgium. I'd be surprised if he scores 15 goals this season. Edited September 25, 2020 by villalad21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was woeful. He played no part in us staying up. He earned good money and got a 4 and half year deal What is this poor Samma narrative everyone is feeding? Poor guy. We probably quadrupled the wages of a terrible footballer and increased his profile to get another great move and another 4 year deal. He has won at life. Bloody hell. Poor Sama. 1 like 1 prayer.

It's just very poor PR & Comms and marketing from the club. The post and statement will be picked up by global media, never mind the many Tanzanian, African, Turkish and Fenerbahce fans that will see it. Should put some effort and class into it. Makes us look like an indifferent club. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachoFantastico Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 (edited) I was never entirely sure about this one, I think Ally was an absolute panic buy without a whole lot of options out there. So glad we got rid of Suso though. Wish him the best all things considering, never seemed good enough for the Premiership.

The Fun Factory Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Didn't realise that he has now officially left. Well good luck to him, ,at least he always worked hard and acted professionally. Is this a transfer or loan? All in all a very strange signing. You get the feeling it was about option 3 or 4 in the January shopping list. It shows that for 8 million now you don't get a lot. Its a shame he as looked quite lively pre lockdown but for whatever reason he lost his mojo and his departure is hardly a surprise. We are ridiculously lightweight up front again though.
