Manquillo

Agreed but that only happens if the lending clubs want to sell. Those loans were purely for the benefit of their home clubs ( the fact that it helped us was a side issue) and there was never any intention of parting with them.

 

Happy with the signing if he is any good, and could give a flying fukc how much he costs after so many games as it aint my money.

 

He's barely kicked a ball for Atletico Madrid.

 

Reading this lot led me to think our club just can't win.
We've been slating them for very little transfer activity and soon as we get someone through the door he's being pulled to pieces cause he might have a clause in his loan contract.
Can't we just be happy that we've actually signed a right back.

 

Can only speak as I find. He's normally been right but then again,a stopped analogue watch is right twice a day.

 

We haven`t. We`ve borrowed one. We`ll sign him if he turns out to be good enough.

No idea if he`s any good or not tbh. Time will tell I suppose.

Our recent transfer antics are not exactly instilling confidence. That`s the way it is for me anyway.

 

We needed a first choice RB so happy we've got one, a one rated so highly too. Feel sorry for Josh Robson though. Not only is he pushed down the pecking order to the first team, he could well be playing second fiddle to Love in the U23 league. Not sure how I feel about that. Maybe a season long loan for the lad. He must not be left to rot.

 

A six month loan would be better for us just in case we need him.

 

If we don't charge a fee with the loan we can recall him. That's the way I'd go.

 

Thats the way as we need positivity now - we are Sunderland and it's a privilege to be here -
Welcome

 

yeah but he'd still be better than any other right back we have

 

Recall when we got Alonso on loan - played really well and was a big part in our upsurge in form at the time.
Let's hope for similar now

 

What? Dump his twitching corpse in the right back spot?

 

just shepherd the play towards him and watch the tackles fly

and he'll still win more headers than love

 

I'm not sensing much Love for poor Donald.

 

i wont write him off yet; i've only seen him play once. just a bit o fun at his expense. i'm hoping both he and mcnair will be decent players.

 

What they need is to be mentored by 'senior' professionals as being thrown in at the deep end doesn't always work! I've been to both home games and categorically say that their distribution is terrible

Early days for both lads

 

Aye as is tradition at Sunderland we've given them the worst possible ways to make their debuts, heaping pressure on them. Baptisms of fire aren't the best way to judge them.

 

both 21 years old. absolute madness having them as first choice players. baptism of fire sounds too nice a phrase for what these lads are going thru
