I’m very wary of YouTube compilations after what appeared on the face of it to be a good acquisition in Jozy Altidore. We know how that turned out. Still, I hope Wilson is better than that.


I prefer just to believe, then cope with any disappointment later, at least I had a good feeling about it to start with

I only get genuinely excited if know the player but I do look forward to seeing new ones I know little about. Is Isodor able to play today? I thought he was needing international clearance

That's a fair point.

At least we know that if he can do something once he's capable of a repeat.

I was talking to a Sunderland supporter, on the train back to Edinburgh, who made that point about Mayenda ...

... 'he can strike a ball, he can make the right runs and he won't be intimidated by lumpy defenders'.

He's right, after that it's down to learning on the job, coaching and confidence.
 
I have to say reading this thread on and off today has been disheartening. Far too much arguing and point scoring, not enough respectful debate. When it descends into the sort of abusive nonsense and tit for tat we have seen today I tend to think this little old place loses its appeal. It is at its best when folk are sharing opinions and ideas in a respectful way, even when having wildly different opinion. I hope this isnt an indicator of the way the board will go.
There is spells when this happens
I just mainly keep my powder dry and bypass anything I’m not interested in
I read most thing daily but sometimes I get confused the way the thread goes off in a tangent
It starts off chatting about the original post then somewhere along the line it’s changed into something completely different
Then when you rejoin the post that’s when the problem begins
Just post a new thread relevant

To be fair mate we all do it, we're only human, with a few exceptions <laugh>

If I recall you were on this thread with Tees talking about what you think of 'new posters' ...

... nothing to do with the thread but harmless and it'll always return to the subject.

As people say, it's just like being in a pub <cheers>

Some great finishes in there. I’m really excited to see him play.

The heat maps shared yesterday showed him taking up the left side a fair bit, but a few of his goals there were in traditional striker central positions. Be interesting to see how we utilise him.

Personally, I hope to never see him play a minute.

... because that will mean Mundle and Mayenda have scored about 30 each <laugh>
