This really is our club isn't it. Pinching myself here, youngest, Hungriest squad in the league, what's not to like. Cheers to those who have drip fed us all with info, very much appreciated, I'm not being greedy if that's it then fair enough but happy to watch this space. Can the lads top it off tomorrow with three points.
Given what happened, very, not going to lie, I am very bloody happy now and vindicated. That said, just read back my last message and don't want to come across as a douche.
Might get myself a Lopes - 5 on my shirt to signify this season. Feel like his loan signing will be representative of it. And I don’t want people thinking my surname is Doyle might hold off until our number 9 arrives tho
Brilliant we've got that over the line. Now, a fullback, striker and maybe a striker and thus will possibly be the best window we've had in years.
Following his arrival, Alves said: “It feels very good to be here and I’m looking forward to learning the English style of play and playing matches, so I’m very excited to get started. The Sunderland fans can expect a football playing centre back – I like to play football a lot – but I’m also a physical player. I will do everything I can to help the club and I’m ready to give one hundred percent.”
Where's Dinosaur man when you want him, he must be devastated? All he's done for weeks is complain about no signings and no fullbacks. There was never any guarantee we would get exciting young players to sign but ****ing hell man where is that blind faith that fans should have. This is what being a fan is all about, hopes, dreams, thinking this is going to be our year, if you don't have that what's the point? It's nearly 50 years since I attended my first match at Roker and I'm still the same every August as we build our squad for the new season but this time it feels different. We are recruiting young players from the best clubs in the country, not bringing in old faces like the last few years and if that doesn't put a spring in a Lads fans step then nowt will. This window is better than I thought possible in this division and I'm loving it. Well done to all the buggers involved and please keep up the good work and I can't wait for Saturday. However this season pans out I think it's gonna be enjoyable. Ha'Way the Lads.
I totally agree with you. I was totally sick of impatient b@stards complaining about the lack of signings. I hope this shuts them up till at least January and then theyll probably moan again
We aren't going to walk this league, we are going to go through some difficult periods I reckon but my god its going to be fun watching a young, strong, technical, mobile and pacy team. I mean compare that to what we have had the last few years! I have zero doubt we will get a RB and wouldn't mind betting the pacy striker we have desperately wanted all these years will come in too
Does make me wonder, if this is what a newly put together back room team can achieve while we're in lowly league one, what does the future hold? Exciting times and we can all enjoy them together.
He was on this board non-stop for days and weeks until he was put back in his box ... ... typical of those posters who only come on when circumstances suit them. The rest of us are here for life
I know nowt about him, but as I posted previously, if he is anything like the others brought in, the recruitment team are shaking off the small time tag. They might just know what they are doing
That's the reason proper foundations have to be built first ... ... otherwise the whole thing will topple as you get higher.
