O’Nien has surprised me at every stage which means nowt as my opinion counts for little …

… however, he's been a virtually automatic choice by every manager he’s played for.

If RLB plays him against West Ham there won’t be a single moan from me.

Nor me. Every coach has always picked him, whoever else is fit.

Sum of the parts and all that.

Plenty of time. Seelt might surprise a few anyway. And I do not have a moments doubt re Ballard. But we will clearly sign a CB.

Yeh that was my wider point that there's plenty of time. I was responding to somebody asking to compare our window to Leeds. Its really hard to when there's so much to do

With what strikers though?

I get not being comfortable with Seelt and Ballard starting week in week out but both are talented enough to put in a strong performance against West ham

If they had Bowen and Elliot in their line up it would be a challenge for any centre halves to be honest. I really do like both of them.

How do we know Ballard and Seelt aren't good enough? If you cant trust them against West Ham at home, then we are ****ed for the season.

If they're not good enough to play West Ham, who'll supposedly beat us in our first home game ...

... we may as well not bother turning up at all this season.

**** me, how do you get out of bed and go to matches?? At least Moyes waited 2 games in before he said we were ****!

This is West Ham who recently couldn't score against Wolves and lost to them ...

...seriously, if Seelt and Ballard aren't going to compete with teams like that we're f*cked before we start.

I must admit, if I were a Newcastle fan I'd want Isak sold as soon as possible and then get on the case of bringing Trafford, Scalvini, Guehi, Gallagher, Wissa and, say, Sesko in, would improve them massively and they'd be fine from a PSR perspective. I don't think their fans do want that though and I'm not sure that PIF/NUFC move at a speed adequate enough to get all that done.

As a Sunderland fan I personally hope they make Isak stay, that he's miserable and demotivated there and that they continue to tyre kick and drag their heels on all their other deals.

Noway they get all if those for the isaak money. Clubs will want double what players are worth

Think that would be more a challenge for our CMs and fullbacks tbh

Both quality footballers, Bowen's one of my faves but both better drifting in off the wing imo

Aye, no doubt. But at some point the CB either needs to engage, or delay. Once they come more central, which both do in particular Elliot, they become a CB problem.

Then again I am not one for arguing against Ballard and Seelt has impressed so far. No dramas from me if they are starting pair, although I suspect we will see one in at least. If we are being ruthless when it comes to last seasons midfield and wide players I see every reason they will be at CB too.
