While I don't pretend to believe everything in the garden is rosie, Iam bebinning to feel that we are too insular, whereas Some other are buying we are not and on top terrible injuries. Well reading the BBC page I came across the W. Ham report after falling out of Europe. "The Croat says he is interested in signing Manchester City forward Wilfried Bony, but will not "beg" anyone to join the club. Bilic freshened up his side again, making eight changes from the starting XI which beat Premier League rivals Bournemouth at the weekend. However, he had few attacking options to choose from, with Dimitri Payet, Andy Carroll, Manuel Lanzini and Andre Ayew all out injured." I am sure that we will see out our mini-crisis and as our senior players begin to return we will have a decent squad (eventually) and hopefully attain aboring mid-table position. KTF
Thats sums up the life of a Sunderland fan- I really feel if we need more positivity then we might have more stability at the club.
Not sure where the West Ham comparison comes in. We have one out and out forward who's 52 years of age. One injury and we're ****ed.
Could well just be a window dressing statement as WHU have laid out next to nothing in this window. IIRC they have signed about four freebies.
Borini is our only cover, totally agree, we are short there. Who wants to warm our bench tho as when fit Defoe is in.
here the West Ham comparison comes in. We have one out and out forward who's 52 years of age. One injury and we're ****ed. Just wanted to highlight that it is not only SAFC that has an injury crisis WHU list is frightening -but also bilic feels that even though they are a 'London club' they will not beg a player to sign for them. If he feels that these sh*thead players feel they need to be begged to come to the capital city what f'cking chance do we have
That result was an absolute disaster for West Ham, btw. They were desperate for a European campaign in the new stadium.
Aye, it's all Eliis Short's fault. As is the M'vila deal (which wasn't screwed up by the drop in the value of the £ after Brexit, was it? Oh no, it was all Short's fault). I agree with noggie here - we're too fond of feeling sorry for ourselves. And blaming anybody handy at the time.
Borini is out by the way with a groin strain ! so good old Defoe has to be superman this season. Chelsea spend £60m plus on two players and they are top of the table, easy. Short cannot see that I am afraid so until we get huge investment we will struggle. Gone are the days when you spent £10m on players and had a good team, we have not moved with the times or even Everton and I dread them coming here in 16 days time. Is it that all these managers have wanted to spend £20m plus on players but were stopped ?, it must be true.
