    Congers has taken a lot of flak, probably justified but, credit where it`s due, that was a superb bit of business.

    We get the chance to keep M'Vila now as well, I know he's faded but he'll be better again next season.

    I'm a happy ****ing carrot here like.

    oh and it will relegate our unwashed cousins from up North.
    I would just put the pic up of JC on every players peg in the dressing room with his little statement about playing for a bigger club and not be involved in a relegation battle.

    When Altidore was at Hull my grandsons spoke to him many times on tweet/text whatever you call it and they said he was a really really nice bloke. As a Premier League footballer he was an absolute disaster scoring 1 in 28 for Hull and 1 in 42 for Sunderland. He made a name for himself in the Dutch league but Wilfried Bony outscored him. Bony finished up going to Swansea where he score 1 every 2 games and then went for an obscene amount of money to Manchester City where he has managed 1 in 6 I believe. Meanwhile Jozy has found his level in the Mickey Mouse league where he has scored 13 from 25 appearances. To be fair to Jozy he has done much commendable charity work and is a very popular bloke. However, the name of the game is scoring goals and whoever managed to transfer of Defoe in a player transfer with Altidore deserves a knighthood and the 'Freedom of Sunderland' award.

    I agree, but even a faded M'Vila is a better option than what we had previously and Rodwell. He'll come good next season again.

    I said he's one of the best players to wear the shirt earlier in season and I maintain that mate, he's got genuine quality and football brain on him.

    He will be class next year. You know what's made the difference, I dunno how man of you use Instagram, but it's clear that they are proper pals a load of the players. There's often been talk of a divided room but it seems that's been cleared.

    They rip each other to bits sometimes it's canny funny like.

    I don't do instagram mate but agree the lad is a class act and we need to tie him down to a contract.

    Thought Phillips was a better all round footballer but both as good in front of goal as each other. Have to say I don't mind eating humble pie. Thought he was here for a payday but he works his arse off for us,. Sometimes a little greedy but he's a striker. Swapping him for Altidore is a master stroke!!

    Hold my hands up, I thought he was past it and just wanted to make a bit of cash before hanging his boots up. How wrong was I? Love him :emoticon-0115-inlov:emoticon-0115-inlov
