BCFC OF SWEDEN Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Samuel is in the swedish national team on tuesday! I think we made a big misstake not signing him when we had the chance last summer! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cider red Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Agreed, him and Tammy would have been a handful, if we had known kodjia was going it may have changed our decision. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josh93 Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 Possibly but if we signed him then we may not have got Tammy and we may have been looking at 3rd tier football instead if he didn't adapt to English football straight away like Tammy did Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC OF SWEDEN Posted June 10, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 I think if he's good enough to play for Sweden (big win against France yesterday) and scoring 19 goals in the best League in Holland, he would have been good enough for the Championship!

cidercity1987 Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 I seem to remember he wasn't signed as he was 'too similar to Agard' Who was promptly sold a few weeks later Edit: In fact here is the direct quote, 'too similar to those already in the squad' http://www.bcfc.co.uk/news/article/2016-17/fans-enjoy-open-training-session-in-la-manga-3198545.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leveller Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 I have to say he didn't look special when I saw him play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoons Posted June 10, 2017 Report Share Posted June 10, 2017 If, buts and maybe's!! If we signed him that may have kept tammy out the team? As most the time we were only playing 1 striker most the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harry Posted May 29, 2018 Report Share Posted May 29, 2018 Fair play. Good finish that. I’m so inclined to shout “Willem II” so loud to BCFC!! Really don’t know why the club don’t embrace the fan connections and build a relationship with the club. Mutual beneficiaries of detail of existing players, scouting networks, loan arrangements, friendlies, youth coaching etc etc. Numerous years on now and still silence. Oh what could’ve been.

The goal will draw obvious comparisons to the Bergkamp one vs Newcastle about 15 years ago. The Bergkamp one had a much better piece of skill, but the finish by Armenteros was very good.

The club should at least be honest enough to say they are not interested. I know for a fact willem officially approached the club in 2008 prior to the play off final. Willem board were told they needed to wait until after the play off final to discuss etc, no one from the club then decided to get back to willems board.

What’s the difference between emailing, and sending a message on Facebook? It’s the modern world, or would sending a fax be better? I can’t remember the city official but a few years ago he put a message on Twitter I think, saying about someone who could speak Dutch as he was going to email willem. Again what is the difference? It could have opened dialog between the two, but it’s blindenly obvious only willem are interested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So a city official seeks out someone who can translate in to Dutch, to email them, but it’s only them that are interested..?! I don’t think anyone bar a couple of hundred city fans could give 2 hoots about Willem. And then it’s a bit of banter and a drinking club, hardly any sort of official link, or even the basis of such. I would imagine that a friendly between the 2 clubs would hardly even be understood by the vast majority of fans and certainly not be attractive. And no, I wouldn’t class a Facebook post as an “official approach”! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
