They've taken up that chant for Kaboul too. Levy probably bumped up the price to allow them to use it Glad to see Kaboul's appreciated at Sunderland. He had a bad start and was written off by the pundits when really all he needed was a few months of coaching with Big Sam.
I'd have Yed's back next season, if only on loan again. He's got pace to burn and the way we set up Sam likes his full backs bombing on so no need for an out-and-out full back. I'd also like to echo many belated thanks for Steeeeeeed (especially), Chimbonda (less so) and even Taino, Bent (even tho the judas left us in the lurch - how'd that work out ya bastard?), then Rose and now Kaboul, Yed's and (indirectly) Defoe - I've just about forgiven him now for breaking Craig Gordons arm. Feel free to keep sending us the pick of your youth. I hear very good things about Nathan Oduwa....
It's been great seeing some of our old lads do well for guys, especially JD who's an absolute legend here. Bent was a mug for leaving you, he found the perfect club for him, was banging in goals for fun and then decided to change that up, absolute idiot. Oduwa's got every skill in football at his disposal but that sometimes ends up being a bad thing for him as sides like to wipe him out, I think that's what partly caused his loan at Rangers to be cut short this season. Definitely worth a punt I'd say, I wouldn't even mind seeing him feature for our first team soon but a loan would likely be better right now if he can get guaranteed minutes somewhere. If he learns the game a bit better, he'll become one hell of a player. If you don't get Yedlin then go after our young lad Kyle Walker-Peters because just like his namesake, he's a RB who loves to bomb forward and needs a loan next season to develop further, he's someone I think most of us expect to eventually get into the first team squad in time to come. Though if you want a bit more experience instead of youth, you're welcome to Federico Fazio, a two-time winning Europa League centre back... We'd even drive him to the SoL for you and cover petrol costs if you like?
Kyle Walker-Peters? You taking the piss? nope, apparently not hey, you mock fazio but would you rather have him or john oshea, wes brown, sebastian coates or santiago vergini as back-up? hopefully BSA will spend next seasons windfall wisely and get another kirchoff and kone in. well played this year and good luck for next season. was gutted to see you lot come in behind leicester. any other season and the title would have been yours.
Haha nope, believe me when we saw his name get put into the academy we all thought it was a wind-up as well! He does look a cracking player though and is right in the mould of Kyle Walker senior. Mate I'd rather have my Nan - who's had two hip replacements and needs a walking to stick to get about - play CB over Fazio, he was just a walking disaster, weirdly he'd have a good game for the most part but would then just guarantee one major **** up every 90 minutes, became a joke and a huge liability. Cheers Zlatan, well done on the survival and all the best for next season
Fazio would probably do quite well in Allardyce's style, in all honesty. He's not the most mobile centre-half and that was exposed badly by our high defensive line and it killed his confidence. He's very happy with the physical aspects of the game, anyway...
I suppose Costa rolled around on the ground for a hundred yards to get the ref's attention.Nice sly punch though....reminds me of a certain Robert Smith.
Maybe an early Spurs kyle walker, but wherever he came from up north seemed to think he was already paulo maldino reincarnated and blessed with usain bolts turn of pace, and david beckham's cross.
