    Very true. Plus we have proven that we are an excellent place for aiding in player development, the Fulham game has probably opened up even more opportunities with some big clubs.

    I fully expect another couple of surprises before the window closes.

    Had this kind of thing on rtg years ago, because I wasn't local to the area. Put me off forums for years... What's the point.

    Thought this place was different.

    Sadly we're not and that's the problem.

    We've had an endless stream of people,over the years, pretending to be Sunderland who start off in a certain style, usually have Mackem in their name and don't post about the matches ... it's just a little strange that, after such a thrilling game yesterday, you choose to ask what transfer news there is.

    These 'imposter posters' start off being polite, are sussed and then show their true colours by being abusive before vanishing.

    The whole process usually takes around a month if they're being really careful and clever ...

    ... hope you enjoy your time on here.

    It's just the same bloke under a different name pops up every few months, settles in, then starts chucking grenades all over the place. He's due a reappearance. I find it entertaining myself though.

    Chelsea have about 50 out on loan plus their actual u18s and u21s squads. Plenty of players are definitely out their it's just a case of being brave enough to give them a shot (which Chelsea seem terrified of doing ironically <laugh>)

    It is different mate, sure it was just tongue in cheek.

    I’ve not looked on other forums for months now. The difference is chalk and cheese.

    You don't need to worry about that Neville. This isn't your board. That's what admins are for. It is remiss of you to be suspicious of the bloke based on a word is his name, and cos he didn't use a capital letter in the word Mackem. Grow up. He's free to sign up, he's free to post, and he doesn't have to answer to you or your suspicions.

    Aye it still boils my piss that the big clubs are allowed to just hoover up the best talent, pay them a ridiculous wage and never give them a chance in the first team. It’s pure greed.

    No it's not, I'm perfectly entitled to be suspicious.

    He's entitled to ignore me and you're entitled to say whatever you want.

    So that's clear then.

    Oh I know mate, been on here for a few years myself and it's the polar opposite to rtg. Just know how a new poster feels when the they get negative comments as soon as they join.

    Of course you are, that doesn't mean it isn't remiss of you or that it isn't knob head behaviour. Leave the bloke alone Neville. Enjoy your evening.

    Think you need to stop being so paranoid and just the lad post whatever he wants.

    Haven’t seen anybody post anything that makes me think they’re not a Sunderland fan so no reason to doubt for me :emoticon-0148-yes:

    It's ficking ridiculous tbh. The whole thing needs looking at, it's killing the talent at u16/u18 level. They stagnate until they come come back at 22/23 but they should be flying from 18/19

    I'm not paranoid at all, we've had loads of imposters on here.

    The lad can post whatever he likes.

    So can I, if you don't like it just ignore me and get on with your posts.

    Try to make the odd one about football and not just other posters though

    It is starting to change, you are finding promising players starting to move to European clubs. The likes of Cirkin wanting first team football, rather than spend their formative years going out on loan every year. We need to be ready to pick these type of players up.
