Interesting Johnson tried for him before. Good sign. All Johnson can ask is to be backed and this is the club doing that.
I hope he puts him straight in rather than getting him adjusted to the football philosophy at the club as Johnson has done with other new signings
If you want to go up, I am a firm believer you need to sign players who have played in the division above. Pritchard has been great for us once he got up and running and I’m certain this lad will be too. Great signing
Football League World have deleted their article saying Roberts is going to Wigan instead of us. Tells you more about the truth than the original article itself did...
Just what we need! I think Flan needs a rest, certainly not the player he had been earlier in the season. Roberts, a big **** off CM and a striker (hopefully Defoe) and we’re laughing.
Sounds like EXACTLY what we need from the RR interview. Sounds like him and Doyle might be a lovely ‘Pound Shop Vidic & Ferdinand’
"RR: Finally, for Sunderland fans that are unsure on this signing, what would you say to them? Mark: If you see Batth from the outset as a no-nonsense centre-back who’ll help you keep clean sheets, you’ll be happy. Just don’t expect Beckenbauer." That's exactly what we need, cut out a chunk of the daft goals we concede and we'll be flying. Beckenbauer can wait until next season
I know its just twitter but its pretty refreshing to sign a player from the league above whose fans seem to either wish well knowing that his time is up, or some even wishing he'd stayed.
