    Wouldn't say I'm a fan, supportive yes. He only needs confidence and to improve his pace over 5 yards. I can't believe you can't see his qualities. that video there shows what he's capable of, lesser opposition yes but he's a 6 million signing who needs work. You very rarely get the total package for that sort of money.

    It's not just me that thinks this way, A lot of lads on here who really know their football can see his qualities. Gus Poyet can see his qualities, Jürgen Klinsmann can see his qualities. In fact the only people who can't see it appear to be people who write players off quickly.

    To Quote Connor Wickham on confidence:

    What is confidence for a striker?
    It's everything – that's what you live off as a striker. As soon as you get one goal, two goals, three goals, you feel like everything you do is going to come off. You can't do anything wrong with confidence, and it's the most important thing you play off. For me it was massive, and I think that's what it came down to; playing with no fear and not being scared of anyone.

    and on lack of confidence:

    How much can you feel it at the other end of the scale when you're not confident?
    It's different, of course. You might take an extra touch, think about things too much and give the ball away. Then your head's down and you're nervous about going on. You need to stay positive, keep strong and believe in what you know you're able to do. If you're confident, things will come together.

    Give the lad a chance.

    erm... wsa the "voiceover artist" not... Jozy Altidore? I don't know but that ws my assumption since he opened with "It's Jozy", sounded alot like him imo, can't see why they would dub someone else over?

    I thought it sounded nowt like him. Possibly a filter they put over the voice track if it is him but the voice just sounds odd to me.

    In fact I've just listened to an interview of his and it doesn't sound like him to me.

    Having endured decades of ****e it's funny to see some things.

    We have a Sunderland player, who's helped us stay in the top division, going to Brazil to play in the World Cup <ok>

    But a video clip from an advert doesn't have great production values ........ I'm ****ing suicidal.
