Þeir eru ánægðir með hans framlag til félagsins, með hugarfarið og segja að hann geti talið sig óheppinn að hafa ekki fengið að spila meira.
Alfons kom á láni frá Twente tímabilið 2024/25 með kaupmöguleika. Gengið var frá kaupum síðasta vor og hefur hann því verið í um eitt og hálft ár í BIrmingham.
„Sampsted getur talið sjálfan sig mjög óheppinn hvernig þessir 18 mánuðir hans hjá Birmingham spiluðust. Það merkilegasta við tímann er að hann hélt alltaf áfram og sinnti sínu starfi þegar þess þurfti. Ég held að allir vonist til þess að hann eigi góðan feril eftir tímann hér," skrifar Conor Keane, stuðningsmaður Birmingham.
„Auk þess að vera flottur leikmaður sem gerði aldrei neitt rangt, verð ég að segja að mér fannst framkoma hans til fyrirmyndar," skrifar annar.
Fleiri taka undir eins og má sjá hér að neðan.
Looks like Sampsted is off then. On top of being a tidy player who never really did anything wrong, I have to say I thought his attitude was exemplary.

A top professional, unlucky not to play a lot more games for us. Wishing him all the luck in the world #BCFC
Sampsted can consider himself very unlucky for how his 18 months at Blues have played out.

The most remarkable thing about it, though, is that he just got on with it and did a job when required.
Think everyone hopes he goes on to have a good career. #bcfc
Can’t knock Sampsted. Never moaned and always seemed like he was cracking on. Steady and can’t say he’s ever had a bad game. Over the years we’ve had some cunts here and he’s definitely not one of them so he deserves a decent move

Failed! Sampsted has NOT failed. That is a terrible headline and totally untrue. He never let us down and has been a true professional. Deserves regular starting place. Good luck Alfons, sad to see you go. KRO? #BCFC @BCFC https://t.co/Z9pebigvjO

Shame to see Sampsted go as he didn’t really put a foot wrong #bcfc https://t.co/FR4MYNBhvQ

Not sure I’m a fan of this unless we have something on the pipeline. Both RBs are injured, Iwata is running on fumes at times & Wagner is the only LB. Sampsted isn’t a world beater but he’s a solid option and versatile. I’d keep him personally at least until summer #BCFC https://t.co/sFrOJyEKhU
