He was also subbed off after 43 minutes the other night with an injury (no idea how serious). I'd have said that ATS leaving just means we're committing to going with Grimshaw at right back and settling with Tait or Livingstone at left back. Looking at where we are and the fact that Tait's consistently been our best option in there then I'd have thought we'd prioritise a forward assuming we can get shot of a couple who are already on the books either on loan or permanently. As it stands we've Main / McCormack / Sammon / Johnson / Scott all playing for one position. Seems unrealistic to think we can bring another forward in without at least 2 of those moving on whether it's permanently, on loan or even a development loan for someone like Scott and do what we did with Hastie and make sure he gets games. If you've watched the Sunderland documentary on Netflix then the episodes on Deadline day pretty much show how much of a shitshow it really is if you're as much of a mess as Sunderland and desperate to get bodies in. It's entirely a domino effect. Teams miss out on targets then just start turning to 3rd, 4th, 5th choices. You would assume that if Desp is right then of the two players leaving, one of them at least will be a forward. If its two forwards gone then I'd agree that it'll be a forward coming in. Robinson did say he felt he needed a forward and a left back before ATS left which suggests to me he's still not able to trust Livingstone 100% so if only one forward leaves then I'd guess a left back will come in. I didn't realise that tymon had been getting his game and if he's injured then that should be a non-starter. Basically in all this rambling I have no clue what will happen today but probably for the first transfer deadline day ever I wouldn't be massively bothered if nobody comes in and we decide to give the younger guys a prolonged chance in the team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Swello Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Sammon was a weird signing in the summer, we literally didn't need him in our squad and on our wage bill - and so there isn't really any surprise that it didn't work out as far as I'm concerned. I do think people go overboard about him though - to listen to some of the chat it's as if he's Jacob Blyth's less talented (pizza loving) brother and that isn't the case. If this is all true, it does make me wonder who he's making way for though..... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luke92 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Yas! This is amazing news. Hopefully this means we will be bringing in another forward with some sort of goal threat. Sammon - great traps, crap striker. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've no beef with Sammon, and it was worth it for the giggles we got out of it tbh. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Desp Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 There's a certain amount of irony in that as soon as we start playing in a style that would actually suit a player like Sammon, we get rid. No issue with him moving on though. At best, he was only ever going to be an awright signing. One away, one to go... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ropy Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Get him running after a through ball and he is a danger. Back to goal, not so much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capt_oats Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) We're apparently "tracking" Matt Kilgallon from Accies along with Hibs and United. This seemed daft initially but then I remembered big Mbulu was subbed off after 16 mins in the Reserves game on Monday. Leaves us with 3 centre halves 2 who are pretty...injury prone.

That would be a deal that would leave the moon worshippers in the support going mental. Signing a 35yr old while Maguire is away on loan. I can hear them now. Also why has he put Everton at the bottom of that tweet 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

supermarv Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 If we manage to get Sammon off the wage bill the it’s great business and hopefully get Newell and Main elsewhere on loan or transfer but would prefer main stay and help as much as he’s shit. I’m HOPING for a striker and a left back but not fussed about the left back situation as I believe Livingstone could do well there but ultimately it’s the managers choice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Busta Nut Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 I have no issues with Sammon either. I have never rated him but he never really got a chance here and as mentioned previously, listening to some of the shouts in the stands you'd think he was evil. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy from the Bradford local paper has said Sammon isn't going to Bradford. He was offered to them but they said no. Maybe if we throw in a free pizza 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
