#DoneDeal Adam Matthews is officially a Black Cat #hawaythelads

 

So 24 hours from the transfer broken to him signing. I like the way we're doing business. Makes me question every link though

 

Going to go with the concensus that he's a good signing. I just don't know much about him.

But with his Celtic pedigree sounds like a really good bit of business.

Well done Congers!!!

 

Funny we choose to announce it at 20 past 10 though

Journos selling papers.
Agents selling players.

None of `em nar nowt.

 

Got a bit of ginga beard going on there, unlucky.

 

Better than Fletchers though. Looks as if he`s got his heed on upside down.

 

****ing Hell!! Keep him away from the Academy! We'll never see him again!!

 

Although he is quite young, I'd assume with his experience he is being signed with the first team in mind... Please god....

 

Dick and Congerton not get the memo about Sunderland not signing players with pace?

 

I think it was Funky who said he's got 4 Championship medals with Celtic!

He's gotta be one of the first names on the teamsheet come Saturday lunchtime!

After Catts of course! Always Catts first!!!

Thats the law round here!!

 

Played over 100 times for Celtic could be a very shrewd signing

 

Not me fella.

 

Sunderland director of football Lee Congerton says he’d been tracking new signing Adam Matthews ‘for some time’ after completing the signing of the defender.

Matthews has put pen to paper on a four-year contract in moving from Celtic in a £2million deal.

The player is something of an unknown quantity but has been monitored closely by the Black Cats and will add valuable competition to head coach Dick Advocaat’s squad.

Congerton said: “Adam is a player we have been tracking for some time.


“Even though he is only 23 years old, he has a wealth of experience, and I am sure he will continue to improve under the leadership of Dick Advocaat.”

Advocaat added: “We know that we need quality players to improve competition for places in the side, so Adam is a welcome addition to our squad and we are very pleased to welcome him to Sunderland.”

Matthews began his career with Cardiff City, making over 40 appearances for the Welsh side between 2009 and 2011, before moving north of the border to Scottish giants Celtic, where he won four successive SPL titles.


So Byram and Jenkinson was probably bollocks

 

We called this one ah Funky. We said today, how did we know tho? Spooky.

 

Just felt like happening didn't it? I thought it might be left till after the weekend though, very quick.

 

Something tells me this is an excellent signing.

 

Now you see... Wearing a shirt and holding a scarf... Not wearing a shirt and holding a shirt like Coates!!

 

No it wasn't. I found it. It was Tees last night on another thread, about 8:47 ish (apologies for my **** memory!)

I don't know how to link it up but Tees reckons he's got 4 Scottish Championships behind him.

He's obviously looked it up.

Just my opinion, based on some of the clips on here but, maybe we've just got ourselves one big ****ing bargain!

It's so difficult to compare leagues, but seeing him taking on SPL defenders and chewing them up, maybe (no dísrespect intended), isn't comparable with the quality he's gonna find in his face come August.

But he looks like one big bloody good work in progress, if he's not already there yet.

Well happy tonight I am!

 

Aparantly he marked Messi out of the game in the champions league.
