With the new season just around the corner, with Hugo now gone and striking targets yet to be signed. We now know Franco will be the main man up front, leaving the back up being Sammon as the big target if he gets injured. Does anybody think he will have a better impact this season if he stays. Watching him last year, he did graft and put in a few decent gamaes, not spectacular but hard work. It seems it went all down him after his sending off away at Man Utd, like he had lost his confidence. He’s not the most skillful, but may score and set up a few more with the 3-5-2 formation and get more results with the midfield now chipping in with a few goals and more croses flying in. DiSanto had a few seasons with 2-3 goals pre season, but cracked a few in last season. Its could be a more improved season for Sammon. Unstand that not everyone will agree with me on this one, But Sammon does give 100% each game and we all want the players that Pull the shirt on to do it proud and succeed, Plus behind Franco, he’s our only option
We have an Argentinian striker coming to train with us soon. What’s his name? Maura Bossenti or something like that….
Lets raise the white flag then,if this waste of space is on the way here,DOOMED,all DOOMED,he is one LAZY footballer :angry:
He’s scored goals everywhere else he’s played.
The new system will suit him – give the lad a chance.
Lets raise the white flag then,if this waste of space is on the way here,DOOMED,all DOOMED,he is one LAZY footballer :angry:Not lazy, Just not a pace striker or one who can chase 4 defenders down or take them on, on his own from the half way line. He is a finisher. You will see a different striker this time. He could be potentially deadly. Just typical he is in his last year of his contract again and will be sold in january if he scores 10 goals as his agent will tell him to go somewhere else.
He’s not the most skillful, but may score and set up a few more with the 3-5-2 formationWe’re playing 3-5-2 now??? I’m still having a hard enough time trying to accept this bloody 3-4-3 thing people tell me Bobby played last season & now he’s gone & changed it again :blink: :blink: :blink:

Quite.
I find it amazing that people can write off a player’s chances of success for tactical/formation reasons whilst having no clue whatsoever which tactics/formations we actually play.

Yeah but Boselli will never suit Bobby’s 1 up front formation ;)
Back to Sammon, I like him coz he’s a grafter & will run through walls all day long but he just doesn’t appear to have that extra bit of nouse needed to be a success in the top flight.
Just as an example, 1 thing sticks in my mind from last season & it’s from the Blackburn game at Ewood Park. In the initial build up to the conrer that Alcaraz scored from, Moses (I think) put in a superb cross. Now you could see what he was gonna do & Sammon should have been hanging off the shoulder of the first centre half so if the cross got past him all he needed to do was knock it in. If you watch him though he hangs back about 4-5 yards from where he needs to be so when the cross does indeed beat the first centre half & he then puts on a bit of a sprint, he’s a yard or 2 away from where he needs to be & the ball skims past him
I’d like to see us keep hold of him & see how he develops over next season though coz a player can always learn somet like that1 thing sticks in my mind from last season & it’s from the Blackburn game at Ewood Park.

oh yeah, i remember that!
Well that’s either due to the fact that you don’t pay enough attention when watching Latics or the fact that I watched the goal & build up on a continous loop for about a week afterwards on my sky+

That header he missed at Old Trafford last season!,what a chance that was to put us one up against Utd.
Not good enough for Premier League Football,not even as sub.Still worth a bit more time in my view and i can see some goals from him next season.
He deserves that because his goal against West Ham in 2010-12 turned that game and went some way to keeping the club up that season.
feck me, how long was that season?
