    I wonder what Ellis Simms is thinking right now. What he’d do to get that phone call that says “get up to Sunderland”, rather than trudge into Everton training in the morning to the most depressive atmosphere in the world

    I’m hoping he’s had it and it’s signed ready to go the minute they get a body in themselves

    I can't believe they recalled him.

    and clubs like us taking the punt is only going to encourage more of them.

    In fact, what will encourage players to keep coming to us is going to be when we end up selling the likes of Ballard and Cirkin to top clubs for £15m+ and youngsters see us as a route to the top.

    likewise top European kids like Ba and Michut. Or South American line Bennette. Getting a reputation for playing kids is one thing, but what will really make us attractive to players and importantly agents, is when we start developing them for big transfers.

    Our fans might hate that and need to get used to it but it will be what attracts even better players to us the next time round

    I've made plenty about football thanks, not that its any of your business. Same can be said about you if you don't think the poster in question is a safc fan then you ignore him instead of questioning him

    Think he'll end up here, loan or otherwise. But it depends on Dyche. He might want to keep all his options open, and we can't blame him for that.

    Soonsup-Bell has signed for Tottenham according to The Standard.

    So much for wanting first team football lad!

    Now that we know about the simms plus cash for Stewart offer being rejected it makes sense, playing hardball but it’s backfired if they don’t want to sell, can’t start a bidder war when they can only be one bidder

    Long may it continue tbh. The players and agents need to wake up and do the right thing

    No, I've just told you, I'll post whatever I want.

    If you don't like it that's your problem.

    If I doubt someone is Sunderland I'll call them out.

    So far I've been very polite with this lad so no harm done ...

    ... perhaps he's exactly what he says he is.

    it’s very short sighted of him. Apparently he’s not been getting in the team for Chelsea u21s and he wants to be playing regularly in the PL2 so he’s moved to a different academy. Spurs have also promised him loans to EFL teams next season apparently.

    so he’s gone from one tricky pathway to a slightly less tricky pathway. Never mind. Silly lad.

    He's been sound on here, for quite a while, so I tend to believe what he's saying.

    There hasn't been any squabbling. Not that I've seen. All I've seen is Neville being rather unpleasant and obnoxious, and being called out for being exactly that. He also said he would question anyone who he suspects "isn't sunderland" despite that not being a requirement to post here. The admins are here to take care of things such as WUMs etc, so I'm not sure why he places himself on such a pedestal? Total knob head behavior.

    Maybe if people respected others, and treat the board as an inclusive place to chat football, there'd be very little off topic disagreement?

    The lad has posted nothing to question who he supports. You have based it on him having Mackem in his title. You are right you can post whatever you want, just don't see the point in doubting the lad.
