    Morning mate thought the tax man had got you when the user name changed <cheers>, Sess is not indispensable lads and not as good as people think for 60% of the games if he goes he goes we move on and, hopefully get in someone who is better.

    You never know, time will tell. He might not be as good ability wise, but as a team we might be better. We can play 2 strikers now instead of accomodating Sess behind 1 striker.

    in 2 days? we do this all the time, sell our better players and replace them with inferior or not at all. id rather we peddle the ****e, than get rid of the class.
    thats why we always struggle, seems like common sense to me.

    ill get all the sess haters on now saying ''he's ****e man'' he's not.

    Not sure "better" is the thing but more consistent. Sess, on his day, is the best footballer I have ever seen at our club. Looked poor so far this season but if we got consistency out of him he's irreplaceable for less than £15m. That'sthe word though isn't it " if"

    He is only good half the time though mate, in a top team he could get away with it in a team like us mid table strugglers we can't cover him. Agree his is good when he is good but, equally bad when he is bad. As for better if we get someone in who is decent all the time and doesn't get homesick/uninterested at the start of every season affecting his play then I'd settle for that.

    Morning Turnip nah, the taxman thinks I'm more trouble than I'm worth!

    I love to watch Sess play when he's on form but could strangle him when he's 'in a mood' ......

    I reckon Ki will be much better than people think and he wants to be here which is an improvement.
    There's been rumours about Sess not settling since he stepped off the plane and I'm sick of it now.

    If 2 of the 3 strikers could get used to playing in a settled system I can't see why Sess would be such a loss.
    We need players to adapt to Sunderland and not the other way round as it is with Sess.

    ;)

    It is mate, there's 3 of them on that photo, which was on the club website for ages.
    They've never lived closer to Sunderland than Mansfield but they're great supporters ........ I was investigated by the NSPCC mind.
    The banner is rolled up safely until next time <whistle>

    I have always said sess is a luxury we can't afford ate brilliant on his day we just never knew when that day was coming. Someone more consistant will be better. I still havnt heard for definite he has gone

    Nice one <ok>.. I remember it well and done in the best possible taste ;) You still sit in the bay window upstairs at the companions when you get over? I remember you used to, I came looking for you once after the Burnley game at home 2/3 years ago but I either missed you or you were caught up in that volcanic cloud that cancelled a lot of flights that weekend..

    Nail on the head lad. Sess has individual ability which had never been in question although its very patchy. His team play is awful.

    Teesside has said it though, we can now set the team up far better and accommodate 2 proper strikers. That's far better for the team and I will take the bet that says we won't bring in that final piece of the missing midfield before Monday is out.

    I think there is one more ace in the pack to come yet.

    Yes mate, I'm back for the Arsenal match and will be there before and after ....... we're staying up so I can get mortal! Come and have a pint if you're in mate.

    If that was the 3-2 Burnley me and my eldest were arrested!

    There was a bunch of Sunderland people racially abusing Edwards so we told them to FO.
    At the end they came and started lashing out so we decked them. Because we 'won' the polis picked up to cart away.
    It was hilarious when we watched the CCTV with them ........ they eventually released us without charge but it spoiled the night a bit.

    Reckon you are right with that last bit mate got a feeling we'll bring in someone who we haven't been linked with and who is a very decent player.

    Sounds like fun that but the last thing you need. No it was the game after that when they had been promoted, we won 2-1 I think and Fletcher scored a cracker for them..
