The difference is, (very) ocassionally McLennan is good. This guy is hopeless - he's just fast and that's basically it. He's got no footballing intelligence whatsoever and no end product. Yes he had two shots at goal today - I could have done exactly the same in those situations - one sclaffed wide from the left hand side of the box, and the other running in from the right hand side and blootering it wide and over the bar. Just send him back now - maybe get some kind of multi-ticket with Longstaff and Jenks. They're all a waste of time. Come January when they all go home, everyone will agree with me. I hope you’re right but I think some if not all of them are here on season long loans ? Link to comment
Tord31 Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 This guy has a great chance of making it in football. Very promising start and I think he can stay in football. 2 Link to comment

Good news if we can get out of some of these season loans Link to comment
Big Hat Logan Posted October 3, 2021 Share Posted October 3, 2021 Would rather have Kamberi tbh. The guy isn’t very good. Link to comment

Stoneybloke Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Will he be taking another taxi like Longstaff? Lets hope that whoever is responsible for it takes a good look at these loans and makes better judgements in the future. Link to comment

aberdeen1970 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Absolutely hopeless, sadly. Can keep Longstaff company for part of the journey home. Link to comment
King Street Loon Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Not sure he'll be going anywhere. I reckon Aberdeen will take up the option on him. Link to comment
sooth_stander Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Completely forgot about the lad. Not even coming off the bench nowadays so he’ll be heading back south next month, you’d have to expect. One of the glaring gaps we have in our squad is raw pace, both wide and through the middle (don’t suggest McLennan, plz) and I had high hopes for the lad, alas, he’s no better than the aforementioned McLennan Link to comment
RED_JOHN Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Samuels will need to up his game at training to even get a regular squad place. He has disappointed everyone at the club as they had extreme high hopes for him. The option to purchase will not be pursued. The days of Derek McInnes type transfer’s are gone. Link to comment

To cover his full wages themselves when they can let him rot with us and get a portion of them covered by us. They have no interest in him....remember we have a "right to buy" option on him at the end of the season so that shows he's finished at Molineux. Right now, with the Devlin further extension fiasco, I have no confidence that we won't end up exercising this purchase option. Link to comment

If Hedges goes in January (which i think he will), we will need a much better replacement than Samuels. I'd be sending him back down the road and trying a different approach. We'd be better signing a young winger from one of the lower leagues in Scotland who's got first team experience and has potential than some untried guff from England just because he's come through a youth academy at a premier league club. We'd be much better giving the minutes he's had to one of our own young players. Link to comment
ABERDEENROWIE1903 Posted December 19, 2021 Share Posted December 19, 2021 Must be first loanee we had with an option to buy Looks to-date like a long list of loans who have failed to impress Wouldn't miss him if he packed his bags tomorrow Seems we are still interested in Jamie McGrath at St Mirren which seems a better option by a mile Link to comment

Samuels isn't even as good as McLennan so he's a total waste of time for us. Link to comment

But I repeat.....why would Wolves take him back? The deal was for the full season. They'd be perfectly entitled to ask for whatever loan fee payments were agreed for the full season. But it would still inconvenience them as they'd then have to provide Samuels with training facilities, medical and physio cover, injury insurance etc. Now Wolves are an EPL side and in the grand scheme of things, these would be a drop in the ocean for them but it's stuff they thought they had gotten rid of, certainly till the summer and in their minds hopefully for ever, He has no future at Wolves whatsoever. It isn't just as simple as what you and others are making out just to say "send him back" Link to comment

Bournemouth Gee Posted December 20, 2021 Share Posted December 20, 2021 He might come good, you never know! We're one nil up at snake mountain. We clear from a hun corner. Substitute Samuels sprints away and makes it 0-2. Link to comment
