" GIVE SAMMY AMEOBI A FREE ROLE "

For the role behind Kenneth Zohore, I would throw Sammy Ameobi a bone.

Bear with me on this. Before you think I’ve totally lost the plot, there is a method in my madness.

Ameobi was signed to be the difference maker this season. A high-profile loan signing from Newcastle, he has the ability to be as good as anyone at this level. Unfortunately, his impact has been minimal and the signing has been a disaster. But the talent remains.



Cardiff do not boast the likes of Barry Bannan or Fernando Forestieri, who have inspired Wednesday with their craft and influence. It is the fundamental difference between the two sides and the closest thing Cardiff have to these two is Ameobi.

He was their big summer signing and I feel it’s right that their season should be make or break on the back of it.

Ameobi lacks the discipline or, most problematically, the engine to play on the wing. He also lacks the physicality to lead the line, but if he is going to thrive in any position, it is in a free role behind the main striker.



It’s a position that he has rarely occupied, due to his inconsistency and the fact that Cardiff played with two traditional strikers in the first half of the season.

It was only after their January strikers firesale that necessity saw them trial more of a 4-4-1-1 formation.

Ameobi’s inclusion would be particularly harsh on fellow loanees Lex Immers and Tom Lawrence, who have been more impressive than Ameobi in a shorter space of time, but they are also less likely to create something from nothing.

Ameobi could be a passenger for most of the game, but if he were to produce that one piece of magic that decides the contest, his selection would be justified.

It probably won’t happen and he certainly doesn’t deserve such a show of confidence, but Cardiff surely signed Ameobi to settle contests of this magnitude.

Maybe if they were to give him the chance to finally fulfil his potential in a Cardiff shirt, he would come up with the goods... and everything would be forgiven.

We have tried him everywhere else , who knows

Better to say nothing and let people think you're an idiot than open your mouth and remove all doubt.

Had to check the calendar to make sure we hadn't travelled back in time to 1st April.

The only thing I'd give Sammy Ameobi is a rail ticket back to Newcastle.

One way.

I suppose Scott Johnson would have suggested we start the play-off final with Kelvin Etuhu?

Where's the clown smilie when you need it?

This as got to be a joke right.

He played great in the pre-season game v. Watford.....hasn't done much since. Hope Immers is fit.

Do they actually print this stuff?

no name on the first thread with this in... but you just knew it was scott johnson who wrote it.


im convinced hes just here to troll people, because there is no way this idiot can believe the things he writes.

waste of time throwing him a bone, Ameobi is a vegetarian

Oops Sorry Nige

Please god no.
Immers has to play there

He is rubbish for a pro footballer,after a wasted season you want try him in the biggest game of the season YOU have definitely lost the plot shame they pay you for writing this crap.

No. Not good enough. Send him back to Newcastle. A poor excuse for a footballer.

What a fool this guy is.
He's consistently failed where ever he has been tried yet he wants to risk playing him in the biggest game of the season so far?!

a taxi to Newcastle

I don't personally think it would be a good idea to try Sammy in that position, but hey one of our moans about RS is he is stuck in his ways and won't take gamble.

Crackpot!!!! Does he get paid for that? On the bench

He played great in the pre-season game v. Watford.....hasn't done much since. Hope Immers is fit.

Agree.
