Maybe 3 in but before Sunday I’m not so sure about, unless you think they will just arrive and be ready to drop straight in the team.
Lee Congerton. The same man who put Rodwell on £70k per week with no relegation clause. To be fair to Defoe at that time, he was a regular in the England side and would have been in contention for the World Cup squad a year later. Being in the Championship then woukd have ended that straight away, so I do understand it and as you say, we'd probably have flogged him to get him off the wage bill anyway (like Vito Mannone).
right now i have no idea, but he has his better games in a more forward position on the right...once he stopped trying to do far too much when he had the ball his overall play was better, i have always liked the fact he tries different things so defenders are never sure which way he will go. such players will always lose the ball a few times, roberts and clarke, when doing similar, get applause while gooch gets slagged off...it seems our 'homegrown' players just HAVE to be included in the first team while young but after a couple of years they just HAVE to be sold on as not good enough. clarke and roberts at present do bring more to the team, maybe that is why they get applause, i just do not see why gooch gets pelters at times...i do agree with many though, he is going to have to up his game now in the championship, 'being useful' is not what we want a team based on.
Thought Parrott was a "done deal" here, according to RR. Just goes to show no kernt knows jot all the majority of the time.
Thanks mate. I may be slightly biased but I think we would be the perfect place for Delap this season.
I'm with you on this, Clocky. I thought it was best for both parties that he moved on in the summer. His delivery into the box is usually poor. He can be like a headless chicken when he's running with the ball and he always looks like he has mistake in him. I don't see it with Gooch.
Is Delap available for loan? I thought he was following a similar path to Foden and I expected him to be in and around the first team, this season.
Saw themselves as the unofficial moutpiece of the club when Madrox were here (Methven used to feed them a lot of info) but they know next to nowt now and are about as reliable as Tribal Football
I respect everyones opinions, we’re all Sunderland.. but Gooch is absolutely ****e and nobody is changing my mind
There using that name and good sunderland supporters are taking there info as fact They know less than Joe public
That's the problem we have, trying to sign a striker that know they will play second fiddle to Stewart, not many premier league clubs will want to send someone out on loan to be a part player
I’m still enjoying the Turkish weather and been dropping in and out of here trying to keep up with what’s going on. Some panic seems to be setting in amongst a few, we have around 5 weeks to go before the window shuts and I reckon we will use the whole window to make sure we get the best deals. I’m sure if Parrot & Broadhead don’t come off we will have others lined up. I agree we are short up front but Stewart has proved he is robust and rarely injured, he’s a unit ! Im sure he can hold his own until the right players arrive. Personally I am more concerned about centre midfield, I think we need a real quality player in there. I get we kick off on Sunday and it would be great to have them in beforehand but there isn’t a lot happening in the championship so I think the real business will happen towards the back end of the window
