why did he leave after the last call up? getting an irish passport proves nothing. if this chap wanted to play for us he'd have done so by now.

Well up to this season he really didnt merit a call up so lets see what the new man thinks

Cause his wife had a pregnancy scare and was brought to hospital and he felt he had to be there

Because his wife was having a difficult pregnancy and he didn't want to be away from home for an extended period of time. Which is 100% a fair excuse.

Continues his fine form with another goal. I think that�s 24/25 goals this season. Some haul.

**JR89** · 05/03/2024, 9:21 PM

Scores his 20th league goal tonight.

Do we know when O'Shea will announce his first squad? Sammi has to be included.

27th of the season today

Mad that they're only two points off the drop after all that

At the very least Sammi has to be looking at a Premier League move next season.

Really hope this guy is playing for us.

**JR89** · 10/03/2024, 1:12 AM

Signed a new contract this season but Blackburn are financially ****ed. If they get a good price they'll likely sell. Use the Wharton and Szmodics fee's to rebuild the squad. Fans are worried though the club won't reinvest.

**Eirambler** · 10/03/2024, 10:06 AM

Linked with a summer move to Brentford this morning.

**Eirambler** · 14/03/2024, 12:46 PM

Despite all the doubters it looks like Sammie has turned down the Euros this summer with Hungary to play for us.

**JR89** · 15/03/2024, 12:22 AM

Seems Kenny's reason for Szmodics being unavailable for November's games were possibly BS. Szmodics said he didn't receive any phone call about November's camp.

**John83** · 15/03/2024, 3:15 AM

Now that is weird.

**Razors left peg** · 15/03/2024, 4:04 AM

Or maybe Sammie acted the b0ll0cks when he got called up and left so Kenny didn't want to deal with him knowing it was last game.

**Eirambler** · 15/03/2024, 6:50 AM

I'd say a lot of what Kenny spouted in those press conferences was just verbal diarrhoea made up on the spot by a nervous man who was miles out of his depth. He looked absolutely terrified in front of the cameras most of the time, the poor fella.
