Thrilled Peterborough United Director of Football Barry Fry has welcomed the news that West Ham have allowed Martin Samuelsen to stay with the Posh until the end of the season by declaring: “We’ll make him a £20 million player.”
The Hammers have announced the flying midfielder will stay at London Road and Fry immediately said: “He’ll win us the League and if he stays another year we’ll turn him into a man on and off the pitch and send a £20 million player back to Upton Park!”
Speaking exclusively in the ClaretandHugh interview section of MooreThanJustAPodcast, the former Birmingham City manager under the Davids declared: “Every Posh player looks up to Martin. He’s a training ground genius.
“He will be knocked about and learn to mature at our level. It’s a better place to grow up and learn your trade than in under 21 football where nobody ever tackles.”
Barry elaborates on Martin and discusses Jack Collison’s future, how Jannai Gordon was been given no chance to develop at Upton Park under the former manager and what should happen next and his incredibly close relationship with David Gold and David Sullivan only on the Moore ThanJustAPodcast
Same as Burke next year when he returns it will be like signing a great player for nothing,
His last goal was amazing,just hope he does not get the krap kicked out of him by players like Keown ( very little talent )
I have a lot of respect for Barry Fry and am sure he means what he has said
“and if he stays another year we’ll turn him into a man on and off the pitch and send a £20 million player back to Upton Park!”
Don’t do that we won’t be there!
Laughed at that mate, about time we had some humour on here
