Martin Samuelsen has returned to West Ham to play in the Under- 21 Cup semi-final match against Liverpool U21’s – but only for the night.
He returns back to Peterborough tomorrow and will remain there on loan for the rest of the season as agreed.
Director of Football at Posh, Barry Fry told ClaretandHugh tonight: “It was part of the loan deal, he can return for West Ham Under 21 games but it is only for the night and he will return back to Peterborough this week”
West Ham development squad won the semi-final 3-2 with Samuelson playing 120 minutes. You can bet he will be back again for the U21 Cup Final.
Barry still hopes he can persuade West Ham to extend the loan into next season if they get promotion but he admits he will have to do some serious negotiating to hold on to Samuelson and says it is the manager he needs to win over: “It will be Slav’s decision” he told us.
Barry went on to praise West Ham by saying: “The business West Ham did in the summer from the manager through to every player was in my view the best in world football.
Slaven has got West Ham people through and through working with him and they are playing absolutely fantastic football.
What a thrill it would be for everybody that loves proper football to see the Hammers win the FA Cup this year.”
Lol,Skrtel just sent off.Big bully on the Viking.W*nker 😀
Its a cracking match I must say.Only down side is that now the Wetpants have watched it they will be experts on the Dev kids as well as the first team,ha ha 😀

Please don’t say that Frankie,don’t think I could take them being dev squad experts as well,lol
Can’t help but like Barry fry and I have tried to help it at times
Time to start counting the days down to No More sending out Martin Samuelsen on loan, whatever your age, when you have the talent clearly Samuelsen has time to develop around the top players we have at the club not on loan.
Samulsun now looks good enough to replace Moses and save us a fortune,
He was brilliant tonight against good defenders who play first team football City must be kicking themselves,
Can’t wait to see him around Payet and Lanzini
