Old standoff Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 16 hours ago, The Voodooguru said: It was a privilege to watch Sammut, it was just a pity the coach didn't give him the set up of the team to exploit what we had in him. He had to produce off the cuff magic most of the time, instead of building our attacking moves around him. So for that reason alone I think it's very harsh to say the money he cost could have been better spent. It's always only hindsight that can tell if a player is worth it. The gamble in my opinion should always be taken, for every Fifita there is a chance it will be a Pickering, Mulligan or Sione. With Hock, he is box office wherever he goes, ultra talented but he has a dark side that makes him a gamble. I'd be amazed if we got him, but if there is a chance they have got to roll the dice as he could be the difference between a decent season and a run at promotion. Wholeheartedly agree with every word of that Voodooguru great post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having him in the team made it far closer than it might have been and he also played a major part in, and was responsible for the winning kick, in possibly the most exciting match and finale I've ever seen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anonymouse Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 I dont disagree , he was good to watch and brought some excitement to a phase of what was a dull style of play , but in my view the long term is more important , its like putting Vardy in the Workington reds team , crippling costs , loads of fun and excitement and a privalige to watch for Tenner but with no real progress made as a club moving forward . I'd rather have 3 solid signings in various positions and a team of similar strength and similar pay scale across the squad , it worked for Barrow .

He will be the only player remaining from when PV took over and I'd think easily on the highest salary , had an average season at best last season so maybe he and the club are reviewing their options going forward .

GeordieTownie Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 If it’s about money good riddance. He’s good defensively but he can’t pass and is as slow as a pot hoss. I’m pleased the club are clearing some of these money grabbers out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 Mossop has been a loyal servant to the club over the years, but last season he didn't do a lot for me on the pitch, and at times didn't look interested, I'm not just saying this because he is rumoured to be going to Haven, think it would be best if he moved on in my opinion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
homeandawayer Posted December 10, 2017 Share Posted December 10, 2017 He's always given 100% but I'd rather give somebody else a go. Apart from the hard yards off our line he doesn't offer much. I wouldn't be happy if I was signing Town cast offs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not much gets past you Mousey ! Yep- we need a centre who's main position is centre--- awesome deduction! We have a wealth of LOCAL candidates who are waiting to fill Jason's boots. For the record I give due thanks to the guy for all the good things he did in a Town jumper-- rock solid in D and scored a few as well! Like some other stalwarts he frequently played crocked and if he's found another gig ,well good luck to him! p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
