If we do bring him back, it speaks volumes about how we as a football club didn’t have the staff who were good enough to get the best out of him and he had to go to that footballing colossus Gillingham to make get him up to a standard good enough for Sunderland. The subtext of this post is how the **** have we as a football club allowed ourselves to fall this far.
According to the Chronicle it’s not true. https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/spo...derland-not-interest-signing-mandron-18253291
I haven't seen enough to judge to be honest, but I wouldn't be completely against it (providing it's to compete with a better signing and it's a space freed up by Grigg/Wyke/Lafferty). The lad is a target man who is more mobile than Wyke. He's 25, so coming into his prime years. He's played here before, so knows the club which always helps. Bizarrely though, probably not unsurprisingly, he's got a Mackem/french accent when he's speaking.
He's poor though tbh. Wyke being **** doesn't make Mandron any better. 28 career goals, 10 of them for Eastleigh and 2 out of his 5 this season against us.
We got “the best” out of him.. He wasn’t good enough though! We were either premier league or just relegated I think. He was certainly nowhere near that level and still isn’t. Most prolific in non league so he’s still not there. agree about the subtext mind, Completely!!
