His class is awesome, he deserves a start. Just don't think we can change the team. However if we are safe come Wednesday. I'd love to see him start. Great to watch, oozes class.
We're just starting to see the lads potential, and you dont become a Juve player being ****e. As you said, oozes class, and was mighty unlucky to not get the goal yesterday. Could see the difference in the way the team played when him and Jozy came on, we started to take it back to Utd, as the first 15-20mins after the second half was all Utd. We could only hoof it out of defense to let them reset and go again.
Defo think there,s more to come from him, as said above you don,t get Juve games if you,ve not got it.
I'd be tempted to start him ahead of AJ on Wednesday. He's earned it. AJ is just as good as an impact sub and needs a bit of a push.
If Larson as expected goes, JC possibly gone I think Giacch will become a permanent fixture next season. Him, Borini & Connor make quite a decent combination.
I'd like him to stay but I also think we should keep Ki and Colback. Even Larsson has reminded us recently what he's capable of. Brid and Catts are sure to stay, so only Gardner I'd want rid of.
A couple of months ago we'd have been glad to see the back of most of the squad. Now, it's keep this, that or the other. Amazing turnaround really. I'd love to keep Giacc, but I'm concerned he may head back to Italy if he feels he needs to do that to be part of the national squad. I'm also hoping JC will stay, and Catts. Less concerned about Ki, Larsson, Gardner.
Yeah I think that's fair, Blunham. Ki is a good footballer though, so despite his absence coinciding with our great form, I'd still be keen to get him for £6/7m. Gardner can go and we can bring in one or two good midfielders, that'll be fine. It's right back and strikers where we really should focus
The trouble is you cant compare the first 20 minutes of a game with the last 20 if you get my gist, the players fitness, state of mind and the pattern of the game is totally different, determined by the scoreline and time running out etc., horses for courses, and Gus has arrived by one means or another at a very good ballance with the players available, small margins exist between success and failure, leave it to Gus.
No matter who we want to stay Gus will have his targets of who to get,and who will get the chop, based on previouse games when they didn't work hard enough, i trust him to get it right
I'd keep him on the bench where he's being effective, the physicality of 90 minute in this league could still very much effect him as it's done all season. He pre season plan will help sort him out. I think we'll be seeing a lot of him next season but for now, a half hour a game is doing us and him wonders.
I hope we keep him. He always looks dangerous and is capable of getting goals from midfield. I would like to see him play the No.10 role behind wickham. Borini is going to be going back to Liverpool so we will need to replace him. Also Ki, Larsson, Gardner and Colback will all go so they will also need replacing. Plus a rb, 2 cb's and sign Alonso for LB. Its going to be a very busy window for us again. The wage bill will be much reduced though and that will help us a lot.
ive been a big fan of this lad since he first arrived, still believe he can become our best player. think next year we can see more from him hopefully, does have a tendency to disappear when starting games though, very very good impact sub
I've saw him rip Inter a new one at the San Siro, full of class as you say & the Juve mate I was with was so sad when he left but glad it was to us because of me. Quite s few of the Juve fans now keep a close eye on Sunderland results whom before couldn't give a hoot about a lowly EPL team...lol.. You ain't seem nothing yet. "jack'n'the box" will excite us all next season as he runs at defenses.
Disco, have been thinking this and reckon he'll be a player who gets better the more he acclimatises as it were. A more consistent version would be alright eh?
From what I saw in the confederations cup and in glimpses for us I'd agree. If we can play to his strengths (easier to accomodate than Sess) and get him settled in he will be an absolute weapon.
AJ is similar in many ways, but both offer real quality in short bursts, let them fight it out for now, its win win for us and Gus in our hour of need.
