Really excited to see him return to full fitness, i think IF he can keep fit he can play a vital part for us this season. On paper there is no way on earth he should be playing at this level.
I'm basing this on nothing but a gut feeling but i hope and believe he can stay fit and play a integral role in our promotion challenge.

Im wondering how others view him, do you see him as one of holloways mercenaries? Or do you fancy him to come into the team and work hard?

Yep, he didn't contribute much at all last season.

Paul Hurst rates him clearly, if he didnt he would have been off as surely must be a top earner.
Get hhim and keep him fit and he should run games in this league week in week out.

Im excited to see him get a good run and hopefully stay injury clear for a while.

Danny Rose is a mercenary, sat there on social media ranting about weather changing technology as we lost our Football League status.

Scannell has been kept on but the difficulty is going to be keeping him fit. He's obviously a decent character because Hurst would have binned him off otherwise. Having played at a decent level, he could be good for the likes of Bapaga, Sousa and Wright.

Marcus Marshall is the forgotten man of 2016 but he played a huge role in us getting to Wembley. I wonder if Scannell will be similar.

Here's a breakdown of his minutes played over the last 5 seasons:

2020/21: 707 minutes
2019/20: 930 minutes
2018/19: 1438 minutes
2017/18: 1126 minutes
2016/17: 749 minutes

An average of 990 minutes per season, and that's in all competitions. So excluding injury time, that's 11 matches on average per season over the last 5 seasons. Looking just at his league matches, he's averaged 9 full matches worth of game time each season over the last 5 years.

I hope all you lot clinging onto the fact that he was decent for Huddersfield in 2015/16 have got this one right, but I'm not holding my breath.

I think a season or 2 struggling with limited games is a concern and sometimes worth a calculated risk but 4 seasons (when he signed) is a huge red flag.

You say this as if he’s actively gone out there to be injured on purpose

The red flag for me, I've said before, was when I.H. signed him he said something like, with a change of a manager, Scannell was suddenly out the team so didn't know what to do.  

And then the same thing happened here.  

So the onus is on the player to prove himself surely.

I've not given up on him, but again, not holding my breath either.  On the one hand, he could appear from the bench almost at any time from now, especially with spokes etc  loaned out, max and grant injured. On the other, will we ever see him play!?!?

Wonder if we'll see him before Max Wright makes another cameo this season. Also wonder how many Scannell threads we'll see before Max Wright makes another cameo this season.
