Summer '24 transfer window

Guarantee you if the Athletic posted in the next 3 hours that Mendy is sorted and coming for his medical, your buzz would return

 

it's weird for me, maybe the efl drop some class ****ing advert and everyone is bang up for it again but my feed is just dead haha. Riots really ruined the spirit which is to be expected

 

mate, I would be ****ing hitting the roof

 

I'm buzzing but apprehensive about it being called off, hope not!

 

So why would that suit Speakman?

 

Sad realy

 

KLD doesn’t want us to go up and make him £100m’s it must be true cos I seen it on twitter

 

Yeah I've been clear that I don't particularly like Speakman but this idea that he'd prefer to keep Dodds in post and stay in the Championship, than be seen as the guy who took Sunderland back to the Premier League, makes no sense whatsoever.

 

I see what you mean however age is irrelevant
17 if good enough we use them

 

These Twitter people ohhh

 

The Speakman conspiracies are out of control

 

That one is MENTAL

 

I agree mate but how many 17 year olds are playing regularly at this level and performing though? You see/hear about so many lads at that age who are going to be the next Ronaldo and within a few years they’re playing in L1/L2. Whereas it’s less of a gamble going with someone tried and tested at this level. It’s so much pressure to put on the shoulders of a 17 year old lad to make him our starting striker.

 

Absolute gonk whoever posted that.

Embo left because he’s about 6th choice at best and needs to play regularly.

I also like how he agrees he’s pushing academy players out, then lists O’Nien (not an academy product) as the next one to go

 

Hahahahahahaa holy **** man, the same onien he gave a new deal?

 

Of course it doesn't..none whatsoever. KS is DOF, and his brief is to get us success within the financial budget he's constrained by and the strategy he's been told to operate. Anyone who thinks KS is not trying to perform his duties to that directive has not engaged with the club.
He presumably has ambition and you don't need to look far to see that someone who can perform these duties successfully is much sought after at the top end PL clubs.
If he does a great job for us,he will be in high demand elsewhere,there's no doubt. The idea he's not working flat out to get us success is total nonsense.

 

Fish and chips on the front at the illuminations

 

Pathetic eh, weve kept most of our best academy prospects

Embleton just isnt of the standard needed any more and would only play if we had quite a few injuries this yr

 

Also gave potentially our best ever academy graduate his first pro deal (Rigg) and Neil and Patterson are integral members of the squad. Almost as if he gets rid of the ones not good enough and keeps the ones that are.

 

Everytime it’s a little quiet this comes up, it’s like some want us to fail so they can point the finger ‘told you so’ embarrassing
