... oh bless ... still needing the big club debate? ... OK your club is 'bigger' ... there now ... but you will always live in the shadow of the Mags won't you? ... because if you are 'bigger' than us they are unquestionably 'bigger' than you ... more trophies, bigger ground, able to attract far bigger name players, finish above you every season, never been a retirement home for Man United players gone to seed ... blah blah blah ... we'll just have to console ourselves with the fact that we will certainly be the highest placed team in the east midlands this season ... you'll unfortunately be second in the North East ..
...obviously Lens is far better known that the Dutch players I've mentioned ... I'm sure he will be a fixture in everyone's fantasy football team this season ... good luck with yours ... you will at least have a distinct advantage over other 'managers' ... you being a resident in fantasy land
How did your difficult 2nd season go in the Premier league lads? Oh hang, on you haven't even had it yet, but you're more attractive than established teams? Aye righto #startingtosoundlikehullfans
We signed Defoe about the same time they signed some player called Kramaric. You should have heard them all telling me how good this star from the Croatian league was going to be! Anyways we got Defoe for free and they paid ****ing 9m for this lad, he scored two
As oppose to the for old man Defore scored after starting most games compared to Kramaric being sub most of the time? Keep the jobs coming WUM
http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/551889/Jermain-Defoe-Sunderland-14m-deal 3 million fee not free and stupidly high wages, 14mill package for a semi retired player, and you laugh at Kramaric?
I don't need to read that link, it wasn't 3 million, it was a straight swap for Jozy Altidore. Altidore was getting 40k, Defoe is getting 60k. Cracking business. Defoe is not semi retired, anyways, if he is semi retired he still outscored Kramaric
You do also know that at times Defoe played at full back? He also played mainly on the left wing, getting up and down the line all game to help the team, something unfamiliar to Defoe, yet he still outscored Kramaric
Same as saying we sold Chris Wood for 2.5 mill so Kramaric cost 6.5! Defore played more and at best has been an average forward, Kramaric will be world class, whether with us who knows but if not we'll make money on him, you won't on old man Defore
And Kramaric played as an out and out striker when he played? Course he didn't, more like attacking midfield but keep playing Defore at full back, Vardy will shred him
Defore played more and at best has been an average forward, Kramaric will be world class, whether with us who knows but if not we'll make money on him, you won't on old man Defore[/QUOTE] FFS Where do you find people like yous? Hilarious, think I'll pop in more often. Yous definitely remind me of the Hull fans, clueless Our player is also called 'Defoe', he's been about long enough.
New players have come in fella, we'll play him up front where he has scored goals all his career in this league
Oh dear... We finally shift the Hull lot from our board... I was wondering where the next rivalry would come from. I'm afraid, here it is Having had this stupid "big club" debate for a while (praise the Lord) Sunderland has more letters than Leicester, ergo they are a bigger club, so they obviously win...
If only there was a way to compare clubs - maybe we can play other teams and allocate points upon the results and see who gets the higher number? Nah - that is a dumb idea, forget I mentioned it...
You're wrong it was a straight player swap, the press included his wages in the deal. Don't beleive everything you read, almost all the papers got the wrong end of the stick. straight swap and 60pw wages(100% fact). Despite not getting the service his Goals netted us over 70m.
Sorry fella but it's a mirror image attitude from some of your poster. One even tried to derail a prediction game because people didn't have you down for a win that day. That will be your mod. These daft lads aside I hope you stay up.
