Just wondering where the rumour of him coming to the Ricoh started... All I see is 'hopefully get Dominic Samuel...' Etc. Can anyone help me?

Think its just because we had him before. More wishful thinking than anything based in fact.

I'd suspected that, but wondered if as always it was a mate of a mate of a car dealer's Nan said they've seen him in Kenilworth...

Has his loan finished at Gillingham?

Mowbray has mentioned being interested in him as well. I'll see if I can find a link.

Here, said it to Andy Turner apparently.

Andy Turner said:
Only last week he told me that Dominic Samuel, on a month-long loan at Gillingham, could be an option but that, reassuringly: “There are loads of players I would like to go and get and that are available.

“It’s like a kid in a sweet shop and you can’t have them all. We have made some decisions, we took Armstrong, Kent and Murphy.

"I could name three more we could have taken but you have to pick the ones you want, nurture them and make them play the way you want them to play and get on with it; believe in them.”

I would love him back. Strong and pacy and with a good eye for goal.

I'd like to see him back here. I'd like to have both him and Armstrong. Problem is Mowbrays previous chats were with the royals ex manager Steve Clarke not Brian mcdermot.

It will all depend on what happens with Armstrong. We don't play 2 up top, so one of Armstrong or Samuel would be confined to the bench. Can't see Newcastle or Reading being happy with that.

Good point, can't see either of them being happy with squad rotation either. They will want them playing as often as possible.

Leaving us chance to come in before the window closes on the 29th with a last minute multi million pound transfer offer ready to parade him in front of the crowd before the Scunthorpe game

Brilliant player, very very good dribbler an excellent finisher. Played some of his best games on the left for us anyway. I'd love him back.

I see there's a lot of interest in Walsall's Tom Bradshaw. Could be sold in this window. Could that hurt their campaign?

He's their top scorer, though has been out with an injury lately.

Mowbray wouldn't change the formation and he can point to results as to why he wouldn't.

I really don't understand this argument (his, not yours), you hear a lot of "go 442" when we hit a rough patch as well.

Do people want to push Fleck and Vincelot further up and remove the protection for our back line? Where would you play Madders? On the wing? Would you drop one of Fleck or Vincelot?

Reading just sold one of their forwards so I guess they'll try and sign someone or bring back Samuel. Readong fans aren't happy he isn't given a chance there.

Don't think you could really drop fleck or vincelot to be honest, both compliment each other well. One way of tweaking the formation would be to go 4141 in a diamond type formation. Still be able to accommodate Maddison then sitting in behind a lone striker. Don't think it would suit Armstrong tho. I'm happy with our 4231, works well for the players we have.

I did not put it forward as an argument, more a throw away comment. As Grendel says TM has no need to change the system especially as he seems so keen on bringing Cole in. Samuel was a main target in the summer less so now.

Also 're 4-4-2 don't bring me in on that....drives me nuts some of our fans fixation with it. However just because you play two strikers doesn't necessarily force you to play 4-4-2. There is always 4-1-3-2 or 3-3-2-2.

Our current personnel suits the current formation.

Agreed. This system is working, we don't play with an orthodox front 2 and 4 across the midfield, or particular the diamond or wingbacks. We're now assuming Armstrongs staying, reading won't allow Samuel to come and sit in the bench, likewise mcclaren won't want Armstrong to be sat on the bench. People need to drop the Samuel obsession. It's not going to happen.

What we need is an adequate replacement for Ryan Kent, good as player Kent was just imagine where we could have been had young Kent had a better final ball

Bit slow on the uptake there ISSS, cos he's already returned and came on, on Saturday, playing the last 30 mins against Rochdale.

Anyway, point is, a lot of interest and a possible £500,000 bid on the table? Could well be he's not even at Walsall by the time they play us.

I think Reading want him to have a few more games and then depends whether they land their targets. I think Samuel will be up for grabs in the summer if they sign strikers in January.

would like this to happen but Reading sold Nick blackman to derby so I think Samuel will be back in their plans personally...PUSB
