Westwood was quite possibly the best keeper outside the Premier League last season and is a good signing.



Both excellent players and on the cheap.



He had Premier League teams queuing up to sign him, he may or may not make it, but he's certainly not average.



Wes Brown - 15 appearances for the best team in England last season, including two in the Champions League. John O'Shea, 33 appearances for the best team in England, including seven in the Champions League and eight international appearances. As much time injured injured as playing? Righto.



Henderson was sold for two three three times what he was worth, it was good business.

You are more than welcome to shoot down Mackems that come on our board and to give an opinion on a player, but you went so far with your comments that you just made a twat of yourself. We'd kill to have to have those players sign for us, they sold their players for more than they are worth, while signing players that were worth more than they paid. I hope they have a **** season, I can't stand Bruce, but I at least know a decent player when I see one.



OLM, Lets get somethings straight. First of all i agree with you in that Hull City would die to get those players signed but i was NOT talking about us I was talking about sunderland. For a team with ambitions of a top 10 PL finish those players are woefully inadequate. Even you should know that ? or you would if you knew anything about football. I stand by my original Post for a top 10 PL finish club. Those players will keep sunderland in the bottom 8 for sure.

Since Bent was sold last Jan. they have lacked goals and only goals will keep them up. So far it looks like Bruce will go for a very rigid 4-4-2 and try to keep Clean sheets. That may or may not work. Surely with the Bent money alone SB would have been better off going for Steve Morrison(now norwich), Danny Graham(now swansea), Sean Long(Reading) and DJ Campbell(Blackpool) as he could have had all 4 for about 15million and they scored over 70+ goals last season. 8 rising to 13 million for Wickham is silly money and adds unfair preesure on the lad.

Time will tell and i look forward to Sunderlands progress over the season. But dont ever say my post are an embarrassment ? Just consider the deeper meanings if you can. Rant over. Looking forward to watching it unravel.
 
John O'Shea is a brilliant signing. Wes Brown is also, fitness permitting. Larsson and Westwood are good signings for free. Wickham is a sensible signing for their future but lack of strikers would be a serious worry if I was in charge. David Vaughan is a steady little midfielder.

I think they've done good business so far. I'm assuming they are going to bring in a few forward players though because right now, they look excellent defensively but missing craft from midfield and very light up front.
 
<ok>

'The FRENCH TICKLER' is on the HDM site I have noticed. I've never posted on there and never will - it's full of morons like him who know nothing about football

Eh up. Another one with phones ringing in the kettle and post dept. And you call me a moron ? That rich from you.
Still waiting for you to post something worthwhile and acurate.
 
I'm afraid so, You should have gone for Norwich, Swansea and DQPR, or West Brom and Wolves if you didn't want to go for the completely obvious. <ok>

We almost agree on something OLM. QPR and Wolvers for sure will go down IMO and one from Blackburn or Swansea.

I think Lambert @ Norwich has recruited well for the survival battlle ahead. Bottom 8 but they shud stay up. I also
feel Wigan will do better and they have the perfect start to there fixtures. Norwich(H) Swansea(a) QPR(h) and a possible 9 point haul to start with.
 
I don't think they've spent that much! <laugh>

Anyway, I thought I'd give my opinion on their signings:

Keiron Westwood - Good keeper. Unproven in the top-flight.

John O'Shea - Not bad. Not great.

Wes Brown - Spectacularly average defender.

Craig Gardner - He's had one good season in his career.

Sebastien Larsson - OK player, but overrated.

Ji Dong-Won - Obviously I don't know a great deal, but he's only 20, so he could go either way.

Connor Wickham - OK striker, for his age, but is he ready to play in the top tier?

Good post. You got what i was saying. Maybe i did not put it accross as well as i should though. Cheers.
 
A Sunderland fans views on their signings (JUST COPIED IT = NOT MY WORDS)


Although we have brought in 8 players. Only 1 actually exites me and that's wickem and he's unproven. I hope I get proved wrong but,

Brown - good defender
Oshea - good signing versitile
Gardner - one good season in PL
Larson - have never rated, no pace, no skill, but good delivery.
Chinese fella - can't comment
Wickem - could become great, but are we just a stepping stone?
Westwood - good championship keeper, but there's many.
Vaughan - I think championship player, didn't notice him at all last year.

Don't mean to be pessimistic but where's the player there which actually exites the crowd, can beat a man with skill and pace?

I know that there is alot of time left in the Market but going into the season with the players we have now, I don't expect us to be in the top 10. We need a good attacking winger, and a VERY good striker. I hope we get 2 marque signings in, then we are ready, but at the moment, our team is worse than last year.

Remember we have lost bent, welbeck, onouha, mensah, Henderson (wanted him sold to be fair)

But how do we replace bent and welbeck? We replace them and im happy ...

Well done. Another one who got what i was saying. There you go even Sunderland fans are under-whelmed by these.
Told ya so. OLM maybe you may now get what i was saying in the first place mate.

At least I can spell...

You have been on this site for about 2 weeks, I've been on here since it launched in January and was on the old 606 site for nearly a year, so how you can accuse me of posting nothing worthwile or accurate is beyond me.

Most of your posts have been woeful, in terms of your opinions, the evidence you base your views on, and grammar (it wouldn't surprise me if you hadn't left Primary school the way you put some things).

I have also seen your posts on the HDM site; quite frankly, they are embarrassing. Your lack of knowledge on the club is tipified by your opinions on Bullard - retrived from the HDM site:

"AP NP and JB can all shake hands and get down to getting Hull City back to the PL and that way the rewards would more than pay for the last 2 years."

<doh>

Oh dear. What a sad soul you are. I am an optimist and never discount anything. It may happen but yes unlikely.
As for the rest of your post ? well it sums you up. Clueless fool. One of the many thick Hull fans. End Of.
 
Hull fans are thick. Who'd want to watch Rugby while the mighty Hull City are around?
 
Gormless ****

I do a lot of reading on here and I'm regulary entertained by various posters and some of the banter.

It amuses me greatly seeing the reactions to the posts of TWF (Percival), I can understand and appreciate blatent wind ups and banter

But,

You are just a pathetic, attention seeking, ill informed, poorly educated, embarrassing ****

No wait, I'll change that. ****s are useful 3 weeks out of 4. You're a **** on rag week (a ****ing pain when it turns up and a ****ing joy when its ****ed off).

Thats all

Goodbye

You really are another sad person. Words sum you up to a T. Yet another who has phones ringing in the kettle and pot dept.
