Why are we picking on Kenwyne Jones? When: Fuller Delap Whelan Diao Pugh Collins Faye Soares Sidibe Tongue Higginbotham Are equally as bad or even worse, take a long hard look at our squad people, it's crap
Especially when the likes of Ben Marshall, potentially one of the best youth prospects we've ever had, still out on loan. Get him back and give him a go.
FTCI, What!?! I thought it was you who disliked KJ? I haven't bad-mouthed any of our squad of late to be honest. Except Mama, which is fine.
Aye, we've got a fair few to pick on. I couldn't pick on Pugh though, that'd feel like kicking little Frodo in the face.
We are having a go at KJ because he probably cost more than all those listed above put together and he is a lazy barsteward! Sunderland fans warned us before we signed him that he was useless and he has proved them right!
Agree Phil I will also say that we have a problem with lack of form all over the park with the exception of Asmir, Huth & Walters no one is really adding anything to the team right now. Ethers and Ryan have got nowhere near their standards of last season. KJ is possibly the stand out disappointment overall due to price tag and also the warnings were there from opinions of Sunderland fans and eagerness of Bruce to get rid. Great minds think alike Waddo
To be honest jub, I think everyone apart from begovic & huth are playing poorly, so why pick on our record **** signing?
You've half answered your own question, I think fans' criticism of Kenwyne at this moment in time is due to not living up the price tag plus also portraying the look of a bloke who doesn't give a ****.
KJ has the talent but fails to apply it, I think people are more forgiving of an honest tryer, with less genuine talent, than a so called star, who looks like he doesn't give a fig.
Oh right, I see. Yes, a lot of our fans seem to have seen how poor KJ is at the moment, I didn't see it at first myself. I suppose all those fans can't be wrong.
FTC in why because he was brought in to score goals I suppose! At 8 million quid I would run my ******** off for HALF of what we must be paying the guy. He's lazy and worst thing is, he never or hasn't for ages looked like he's even going to score. Agreed though, he's only one of around 8 other player's I could pick on after Monday nights shower of ****. IF we get anything from Saturdays game I will be totally stunned an I usually look on the positive's every time. Unlike Sgt of course. This weekend however, I feel we are gonna get well and truly stuffed. HOPE and PRAY that I'm wrong and I'm working so, can't get to Upton Park. Tony P Sure the Mackem's told us, and how right they were. They also said he goes on scoring streaks and looks unplayable. Let's hope that streak starts like, right now please K.J.
OK people I've said i will get off TP's back, so i thought it was about time we all got off KJ's back that was all.
KJ proved his worth to me when we played Sunderland at home. The away fans were giving him some right stick. Now me if I was him I would have run my nuts off to try and get on the score sheet to shut them up, but he didn't seem interested or at all bothered! KJ is here for the ride and the big pay packet and what was typed above is quite true, he doesn't really have anyone challenging him for his place! Walters gives 100% every game and might not be prolific or even that brilliant, but you cannot deny his work rate and effort!
I have to say sticking up for KJ is a joke ........... i mean come on we are all not stupid !!! are we ? This man who cost us 8 mill ........... and is on 40 -50 k a week !! im sorry but its abysmal .. his lack of effort will tell and i bet TP gets rid ! i will be surprised if not .. if he dont it will only be for the lack of buyers !! This guy guy should be thriving on our style of play ! OK .. so who next if we sell him ? What club ? i would be amazed if anybody seriously comes in for him ! where would he go ? options are small due to him being as big as he is and not pulling his weight or height.. Please tell me any other club that would now take him for that kind of fee ? Thats a great question fella .... please feel free to answer ???????????????????????????
Speaking as a Sunderland season ticket holder, as previously mentioned we did warn you that KJ was one lazy bastard!! He should be suited to your style of play but the truth is that he is not interested and just happy to pick up his 40 grand a week.
You did warn us but it's not made it any easier to accept it. It's disgraceful really, to make Fuller look hard working really is a feat that I didn't think could be breached.
Yes, must say that I was relieved when we did'nt sign Fuller in the transfer window! Still think you will be ok this season though as there are lot poor teams that will finish below you.
