We only have Lens who can add quality to that, shows that a CAM is critical to us. A goal scorer wouldn't go a miss either. A winger for when Johnson gets sent down. Another full back for cover. A centre half who isn't injury prone and no older than 27. **** there's still a way to go I'm still confident we'll get the players in, still 5-6 weeks to go yet...
It's hasn't been good preparation really with the absentees, hopefully our games in England get us clicking together.
There's a lot of sarcastic talk about the MLS in England, but when you consider Toronto FC are standing fourth in the Eastern Conference some seven points behind DC United and have their two best known players - Bradley and Altidore - out, I just wonder where Sunderland would be standing in that division. I think MLS deserves a bit more respect than it gets here, especially outside of our top eight. Ok, I don't think DC United and LA Galaxy would do so well in the top section of EPL, but against the likes of Sunderland, they're in no way inferior these days.
Couldn't disagree more. Player for player, they aren't even close and would be lucky to survive in the championship with a full season playing competitively.
Catts has been absolutely atrocious tonight like, he's either pelted it at a red shirt or straight out of play on most of his touches.
It's just a blip mate. They'll be back we're there happy after another 3 or 4 matches. Big problems behind the scenes with a consortium whose won nothing with the other pro-sports teams they own but know more than the football minds they employee. Try googling about Ryan Nielson (Blackburn Rovers &NZ) whom they fired but he's such a nice guy that I doubt you'd EVER find an unkind word attributed to him but others have written about the goings on at Toronto over the past 5 years.
The score display still hasn't been updated like, glad I actually saw the goal or I wouldn't have a feckin clue!
Check out ESPN......they're taking the piss out off the English EPL team, Sunderland trailing the Taranto FC Development Squad....lol Ps. That was before Defoe's 2 goals btw
