Sam is a top lad. Good to see him doing well in America. That article though - pure Soccer Guy.

I didn’t realise he had moved over there. The best of luck to him, a player I had really hoped would do well with us.
Every gimmick hungry yob,
Digging gold from rock and roll
Grabs the mic to tell us,
He'll die before he's sold.

"If you watch him when he turns on those afterburners, man, he can really move" - Yeah!

Great stuff! I don't know why more players don't do that if they get the chance.

Good luck to him. Not sure who told them he was the youngest player in our history to make his debut, doubt if he's in the top 20.

Hope he can get a few seasons out of this.

I liked Sam,very skillful player, got a couple of injuries at a time when he started getting a few regular games, lacked a bit of strength.

I liked Sam and still feel he could and should have played more the year we won the cup.
I’m a Stubbs fan, I don’t like to hear him criticised too much but I do feel he could have rotated his squad more that season to make us more competitive in the league. I thought that Stanton was good enough to play a bigger part and shouldn’t have been out on loan at that time.

In all fairness, I think most folk would agree with you re Stanton and I appreciate I’ll be in the minority. I also went to a United game with a mate and he played well that day too.
I just thought that a fresh but imperfect Stanton might have been a better bet than a superiorly talented but physically and mentally knackered alternative, that season a few of our players fitted that description at times.
Especially when you consider the quality of some of the teams we were struggling to beat.

I had hoped that the first season in the championship would be the making of Stanton, Handling, and Cummings. In Stantons case he was the standout in a poor team and the other two were showing fleeting moments to suggest potential was there.
Cummings obviously took the chance and has thrived since, Handling was unlucky with injuries but looked to have grabbed a few opportunities in Stubbs' eyes, but for whatever reason after the relegation Stanton could never replicate the form from the previous season at us which was a shame.

As maybe the only Hibs and Rising fan, it was awesome to watch Sam this year, even if only 3 games in person. He looked pretty smooth out there even in the 100+ degree heat. Final on ESPN this Sunday evening.
