Samuels, like Longstaff, won't be missed, and despite his two goals, Jenks hasn't made much of a mark either.

Hopefully, we'll be a bit more shrewd going forward if delving into the loan market because that's an abysmal hit rate from the summer.

Better or worse than our trio of shite strikers from last January that contributed to Derek’s defenestration? 

I'd say marginally worse.

Harsh on Jenks IMO. Clearly a player there but has Brown and Ferguson ahead of him.

I agree with you, it could and should be a lot better. Volunteers aren't the way to go tho. 

Hopefully they're looking at what other clubs are doing and will improve.

With Barron being recalled to Aberdeen, what would you say is the order of preference for central midfield roles with current Aberdeen players?  Do you think Barron is ahead of Campbell in the manager's eyes?  Glass only seems to use Campbell when he absolutely has to.  Brown, Ferguson and Jenks all get game-time ahead of Campbell - will Barron also leapfrog him?

I think its impossible to judge Samuels as he never really played for us with 2 starts and 5 sub. My first thoughts at watching him was he is like Darren Mackie with pace and no much skill. 

These loans cost Aberdeen money with upfront fees and wages so another failed transfer deal by Glass.

Ask the question on 1st Feb when the transfer window has shut. 
There may be more ons & outs…

Well I'd agree with @Merkland Red and say that I'm being slightly harsh on Jenks, so in my opinion, in order of worthiness, I'd say..

1. Ted Jenks

2. Callum Hendry

3. Flo Kamberi

4. Austin Samuels

5. Fraser Hornby

6. Matt Longstaff

...so I'd say the 1st half of this season's loans were marginally worse than the 2nd half of last season...although it's a horrible list

Swap Samuels and Hornby for me.

Whilst he never looked like scoring, Hornby had some technical ability to speak of. Samuels put his head down and runs with the ball.

He got shunted down because my abiding memory of Hornby was the sitter at Ibrox. Although, that might of been his best game* too and he showed a bit of promise.

*I really can't remember much of last season. Matches in stadiums closed to fans is in my Room 101. I couldn't even watch us play in Lisbon online it was so grim.

Is it just me that finds these annoying & tedious? 

Ever since somebody got one on SKY, there was always going to be more attempts. Some better than others.

 

And we could do with some real news to stop folk making shit up.

Mason Hancock signed a new deal, so there you go.

Aye, that miss was unforgiveable.

As with Longstaff, Samuels was another example of what happens when you scratch the surface of a #Barclays skwad.
 

Mediocrity abounds.

I've always thought that.  They'll probably be more athletic, but quality wise, there's some very average footballers in that league.
