Beat me to it

 

I think all the new languages are confusing uncle Tony.

 

I'm sure he did his first interview in French.

 

Well he came in from Sochaux, which is in France (about 40Km from where I am now). So some confusion might be allowed !

 

I think he did as well tbf, we signed him from a French club so is probably speaking to Ba and Ekwah in French if his English isn't so good.

 

Not many people visit Middlesbrough

 

Mayenda has dual nationality but was born in Spain and represented them at youth level. Spent most of his life in France

 

Wonder how his Ukranian is coming on.

 

Not on purpose anyway

 

We've all seen Rocky IV, he'll have the basics.

 

I have to say I find this all a little offensive ...

... Mowbray is blithely contradicting decent Sunderland supporters who know the truth.

The club were quite happy to sell off Stewart along with Batth, Pritchard, Neil, Clarke, Roberts, Patterson, etc, without bringing in replacements, in the pursuit of profit over ambition. Thankfully people aren't fooled by this attempted cover up from Mowbray who's furious with Speakman but being coerced into repeating the rhetoric ... shame on him for taking the company dollar and calling a French speaking player French, the club is a laughing stock.

It's naive of the club to believe they can fool people when the facts are so readily available from people on the internet

And don't get me started on us refusing to persuade Stansfield to move the length of the country, for one season, to sit on the bench when Stewart's fit

 

I’m livid KLD hasn’t built a monorail for the likes of stansfield, off the field a shambles again

 

The no ambition shouts from some of our fans, cause we are a selling club before we have even sold anyone is ****ing mental!

Let's wait until we sell someone and see how it's invested eh!

Lihadji sale didn't even fit the model imo. He came was ****e/disinterested/didn't like it or whatever and his agent or whoever has managed to work sale to a Saudi club getting him more money and less pressure everybody is happy but it wouldn't have been the plan when buying him!

 

Beautiful bit of the world we used to detour all over france driving home from spain, (home from home), and stayed a couple of times in mathay very pretty area having done a bit of Switzerland, if I’m thinking of the right place that is

 

As disappointing as it is to be going into our 4th league game of the season without a striker, the noises coming out the club yesterday were encouraging - sounds like Rusyn is a goer, Mayenda and Stewart are close to being back, with Seelt & Embo back tomorrow. Finally the injuries are clearing up and we might just have a chance with Stewart and/or Rusyn.

Of course Stansfield not signing has set a few away, notably the WMS whoppers using it as an excuse to further bash Speakman/KLD, but it is what it is and hopefully there are a couple of PL loans lined up late in the window to supplement what we already have

 

This time a few short years ago our striker shortlist looked like this -

1. Will Grigg.
2. Oh, you wanted more than one name?

This year we've already signed two and may be on the verge of signing another, and we've been strongly linked to plenty of others.

It's called having options.

 

Did we ever only have Grigg as a striker? Pretty sure him and Wyke overlapped as our most minging squad choices...

Take your point however

 

What about that fat bastard. Was he not supposed to be a striker?

 

It says Alex Neil, but very fitting for Big Tone:

 

This should be posted over the road. Now that would be interesting.
