Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

[Southern A]

Tbf he played 46 games(including playoffs)last season and if you remove 8 to make it 38 he still has 12 goals

not if you remove 8 that he scored in

 

[Irish Black cat]

not if you remove 8 that he scored in

Why would you pick 8 games in the middle of the season and not just remove 39-46 and count the first 38 games like a season, or even more relevant since he missed games you do it to matchday 38 cause you aren’t guaranteed to play every game and the that’s the number of prem matchdays oh look at that still 12 goals

He played the equivalent of 34 games minutes wise so slightly better than one in three.
For comparison Mayenda played the equivalent of 25, scoring 8 so also one in three but did also have 5 assists. Wilson had 2.

That’s your opinion, the club back the two strikers that got 15 g/a’s in their first season in the championship. Both have profiles that suit premier league football. And we’ve signed a young striker from a top PL club on loan who made his debut at 17 for BARCELONA/

It’s fine to maybe feel that way but there’s zero evidence to say our strikers aren’t going to manage to score goals

It's also not just about the strikers, we've purposely signed rapid attacking players to play on the counter.
We will be under the cosh for a lot of the games but I think we have goals in us, all the way across our front line

 

[One footed wonder]

Teams aren’t going to defend deep or shutting up shop against us at all this season the challenges for us this season from my view are going to be

can we be solid/resilient enough at the back to prevent teams that are going to taking the game to us from scoring

given the fact they won’t be defending deep/shutting up shop can we be good enough on the counter to create chances

and then are we good enough to take those chances.

watching last night an established side like Bournemouth played pretty well and still conceded 4…..we need to be patient and understanding with the team.

I think we can surprise a few but we will also take the odd beating, we need to stay level and take each game as it comes.

Really hoping we can get off to a flyer today HTFL

teams may shut up shop against us after going 1 or 2 nil up mind. We won’t always be able to rely on countering.

aye absolutely fair points to me it feels like a different type of defensive approach and it won’t be shut up shop championship style.

This probably only makes sense to me but I see it as more containment, keeping us at arms length rather than retreating with absolutely everyone behind the ball and you are right that’s when we need creativity.

it’s tough at the top, all we can do as fans is get behind them

 

[BGG228]

Just to ask. If you don't care what anyone says why are you on a forum for open conversation?
As for your opinion, you may well be right or you may be totally wrong, we won't know until the season kicks off and we see all the pieces put together.
In my opinion I think Isidor is more suited to the prem than the Championship. I think Mayenda will relish the challenge, I think Guiu will add strength and determination to the front line, I think Abdullahi and Ogunsuyi will play their part this season
We all have opinions mate but to say you don't care what anybody says kind of defeats the object of your initial post ( if you dot care what is said why post in the first place??)

Figure of speech mate. You're overthinking it.

 

[Bob the Mackem]

I hope the crowd bring on the noise, the Cov game showed how it can change a game.

 

[BGG228]

It'll be a cauldron, at least to begin with.

 

[Nads]

I said league season. I notice Isidor scored 12 now tho so yeh

worth pointing out that was a 49 game season so we can normalise that down to 38

Wilson didn’t play 46 games, nowhere near. Neither did the Big Man.

But you know what we have in that scenario? Rocket left boot Granit.

If we break our transfer record to bring back Amad then that would be unbelievable but can't see it

Couldn’t see Xhaka, Diarra or (soon) Mukiele either mate.

Nothing is impossible.

 

[TonyG]

Xhaka is unreal but Amad would be akin to Aliens beaming down at half time in the stadium of light at half time and saying “We’ve been up there all this time Marra’s and we hate Sam Fender too”

 

[BGG228]

It's not going to happen. Anyway, dare I say it; in my opinion we need a bigger physical presence than Amad in a new forward.

 

[Northumberland Rocks]

He’s already seeing it.

120k shirts sold already. Madness.

10k waiting list. Madness.

Half mile queues at club shop. Madness.

And this is while we still expect a relegation battle.

I have seen the increase in Sunderland shirts all over Shields and all over Sunderland last few weeks.

Even the little corner of our earth that is this forum. It never ends on here now, never.

Those of us that been in here for the last 15 years or so will know that’s not been the case, even when we were PL before the fall.

The club is growing, buzzing, thriving. For the first time in my life the city is too.

It’s a perfect marriage with an owner who sees it and this is just the first blowing of a Tsunami.

We aren’t Liverpool, United or Arsenal.

We Are Sunderland. We were always proud of it. We just needed to rest, reset and go again.

Great post that.

I was surprised to see that Wilson made 43 league appearances, plus 3 play off appearances. Equivalent of 34 games in minutes. Felt like he’d missed more.
Mayenda made 37 appearances plus play offs. equivalent of 25 games or so minutes wise.

Aye the minutes is important and the fact he was only playing bit part back end of season when we were coasting games.
