Summer transfer thread

I love being a Sunderland fan. we are mint.

 

Ironically it's 1-1 years since they last beat is.

 

if you look at his top 5 goals for Cardiff, this is pretty much his bread and butter. Ring fell out and there is no defending it.

 

I haven't got an issue with Birmingham. Always remember the year we destroyed the 1st Division in 99, there aways fans has a banner "Congratulations Sunderland form the blues". Jobe wants to stay there and show some loyalty then fair enough. Onto the next one.

 

He’s a Geordie scumbag mate, simple as that. Scored some important goals for us but we massively helped with his gambling debts… I know that for a fact.

 

Remember in the 70s getting half bricks chucked at us as we lined up to get into the ground
Think the ground was being redeveloped

 

Aye but the fans they really hated got full bricks.

 

Well the 70s were a rancid time in football weren't the mate? wasn't around for that.

 

oh it think it's well published that he signed for us for the signing on fee and wage. No sympathy. They dug him up on sky sports news when the Saudis brought them to talk about the club. Lives in Holland now.

 

Like I said - Geordie scumbag. He can rot for all I care

 

Both Jude and Jobe signed pro terms with Birmingham to ensure they got a fair fee for them, out of loyalty and respect. Must have a very switched on and respectful family.

 

Good player Bassey but I think it’s a good deal for Rangers…

 

I think Jude is an outstanding talent and if Jobe is half as good he's going to be a top quality player himself. Any club that gets him is going to get a real asset.

 

Aye and it is good to see. As much as I would be happy if we had signed him it is good to see young lads show a bit if loyalty to the clubs that developed them as kids, if we weren't going to sign him this was the alternative I wanted to see.

To sign a pro contract with a club lowered down the pyramid when it's likely the top 4 were circling shows a confidence in one's own abilities and chances of making it to the top and at one if them teams in the end anyway.

 

I've got a good record of judging players potential over the last few years and this is one I got totally wrong. Said to my mate that he will never be a good CB, was so wrong last season - the boy was class at CB 2nd half of the season

 

In my little bit of Wikipedia research just now on the Bellinghams, I learnt that Birmingham retired Jude’s squad number. That’s mental

 

Yeah I remember that. Makes the club look small time!

 

I remember the fuss about that at the time.Nunber 30 odd or something?

 

Absolutely ridiculous …
