We all knew, even if we dared to dream otherwise, that we would only get one season after we lost to Luton in the playoffs out of Clarke. We can debate the fee but, as others have said we failed to get a bidding war going between teams in the PL and that limited the fee. The injury last season and his form after he came back along with his performance against Newcastle will have make teams think twice about signing him. I am pleased that his last game was against Sheffield last week and not in the awful last day of the season defeat. The model will always do this to us. I still think that we are going in the right direction. We have a midfield three in Rigg, Neil and Jobe which is probably the most talented in the Championship, two strikers coming in, Wilson appears to be confirmed by the Tom Hank’s video just put out by the club, and a defence which is looking good. To all of those complaining, where were we three years ago?
Absolutely nailed it mate, none of our business ... we're supporters, not investors. People seem to think that paying £30 to watch us obliterate Sheff Wed entitles us to a say in the negotiations. It's like going to the theatre and demanding the leading man doesn't go to Hollywood for a big film role ... ... and refusing to ever go to that theatre again if his understudy is given a chance
Funny that folk are totally moaning that we are posting a picture of a scarf n ball when we are selling Clarke - def a few never seen castaway
Last season was a bit freakish with Everton and forest docked points. Burnley still had a chance of staying with two games left and had about 23 points
Think he’s played some minutes for one of the age group teams but like you not heard much about the lad since he signed
The 23-year-old forward has moved to Wearside on loan for the 2024-25 season, joining from FC Zenit Saint Petersburg. An option to make the transfer permanent following the conclusion of the campaign is included within the terms of the agreement. Isidor said: "I’m so happy to be here and sign for Sunderland. It is an amazing club with a huge fanbase – and when a club like that wants you, it feels amazing. I didn’t hesitate. It was a natural decision. I always knew Sunderland was a big Club, so I can’t wait to get started and to see the Stadium of Light full. Hopefully, I can get the fans chanting my name.” Kristjaan Speakman: "Wilson's a mobile and athletic forward, who possesses senior experience and a healthy goalscoring record at the top level. We feel he's a good fit with our playing identity and he has the attributes to help the team in forward areas. He's excited to be here and we look forward to helping him settle in."
Sounds to me we will be playing him upfront with the mentions of him being a mobile forward and having a healthy goalscoring record
Intrigued by this signing. Has some really good attributes that I think will suit us well. Not too far removed from Lyon nearly signing him so he clearly has something about him plus RLB knows all about him. Welcome Wilson.
