Hi Just wondering since you have now signed...7 players i think it is? Who have you let go? Can only have 25 man squads with the exception of under 21's... I realise busazky has left but who else?
Helguson, Buzsaky, Danny ****tu, Peter Ramage, Fitz Hall, Paddy Kenny, Rowan Vine, Borrowdale, Gabbidon and Lee Cook have all gone....think Tommy Smith is off as well.
Being a sunderland fan who had bruce at the helm for 2 years and keane before that...ive seen what happens when squads are practically renewed every summer transfer window....your in for a rough start if you ask me
Buzsaky, Helguson, Barton, Gabbidon, Campbell, Bothroyd, Young, Kenny, Smith, Hall and Connolly have either gone or will go. Kenny Young - Hall - Gabbidon - Connolly Buzsaky - Barton - Smith Bothroyd - Helguson - Campbell Not a bad Championship team. Hoilett, Diakite, Fabio, Park, Johnson, Nelsen and Green have all signed. Faurlin is also back from injury. Dyer might also make it. That leaves at least 2 places for new players.
We will be fine. Don't worry about our transfers , worry about if MON has the same effect second time around or if you slip back into trouble..
Well 80% of the players we released were dead wood that wernt playing.......we have a good core of players that played and did well towards the end of the season (mainly at home) and we have strengthened in areas we were weak in......had we not signed the players we have, we'd be looking at relegation again.
I think you have answered your own question there mate..Bruce and Keane. While it is always a concern to see how new players fit in I don't think MH will automatically be putting in players that haven't had the Pre-season games, he is in slightly better class than Bruce and Keane but agreed it is a on going work. I also I don't remember you brining in anyone of the Park, Green, Jnr quality, more players that may struggle with change. Our biggest concern will be having Ali Faurlin not starting the season so Park will have to play slighlty out of position but I don't think any of us are that concerned with the gelling process this year, while we were previously. Thank you for concerns though, at present we are a very happy bunch of R's.
Oh dont get me wrong, you have brought in some quality, Park + Fabio, Hoilett etc but its getting them to gel within a quick time is the problem, what we seemed to notice...
I do believe this to be a forum where football is discussed and i tend to get curious about teams other than SAFC...sorry for majorly pissing thy highness off with a simple post
Xxck the naysayers, you're right. Getting a team to gel is bloody difficult. Hughes has to prove he can do it.
Because you were managed by Bruce and Keane. The elephant man and the guy who decided to sell Jordan Rhodes for £200k and replace him with Tamas Priskin for £1.6m.
WAJ.....dont worry too much about us mate. I think the majority of R's fans are over the moon and will wear a few average performances at the start of the season... I'd be looking a bit closer to home if i was you mate...good luck though...Always liked an awayday at the stadium of light....
