Westwood was quite possibly the best keeper outside the Premier League last season and is a good signing.
Both excellent players and on the cheap.
He had Premier League teams queuing up to sign him, he may or may not make it, but he's certainly not average.
Wes Brown - 15 appearances for the best team in England last season, including two in the Champions League. John O'Shea, 33 appearances for the best team in England, including seven in the Champions League and eight international appearances. As much time injured injured as playing? Righto.
Henderson was sold for two three three times what he was worth, it was good business.
You are more than welcome to shoot down Mackems that come on our board and to give an opinion on a player, but you went so far with your comments that you just made a twat of yourself. We'd kill to have to have those players sign for us, they sold their players for more than they are worth, while signing players that were worth more than they paid. I hope they have a **** season, I can't stand Bruce, but I at least know a decent player when I see one.
'The FRENCH TICKLER' is on the HDM site I have noticed. I've never posted on there and never will - it's full of morons like him who know nothing about football
I'm afraid so, You should have gone for Norwich, Swansea and DQPR, or West Brom and Wolves if you didn't want to go for the completely obvious.![]()
I don't think they've spent that much!
Anyway, I thought I'd give my opinion on their signings:
Keiron Westwood - Good keeper. Unproven in the top-flight.
John O'Shea - Not bad. Not great.
Wes Brown - Spectacularly average defender.
Craig Gardner - He's had one good season in his career.
Sebastien Larsson - OK player, but overrated.
Ji Dong-Won - Obviously I don't know a great deal, but he's only 20, so he could go either way.
Connor Wickham - OK striker, for his age, but is he ready to play in the top tier?
A Sunderland fans views on their signings (JUST COPIED IT = NOT MY WORDS)
Although we have brought in 8 players. Only 1 actually exites me and that's wickem and he's unproven. I hope I get proved wrong but,
Brown - good defender
Oshea - good signing versitile
Gardner - one good season in PL
Larson - have never rated, no pace, no skill, but good delivery.
Chinese fella - can't comment
Wickem - could become great, but are we just a stepping stone?
Westwood - good championship keeper, but there's many.
Vaughan - I think championship player, didn't notice him at all last year.
Don't mean to be pessimistic but where's the player there which actually exites the crowd, can beat a man with skill and pace?
I know that there is alot of time left in the Market but going into the season with the players we have now, I don't expect us to be in the top 10. We need a good attacking winger, and a VERY good striker. I hope we get 2 marque signings in, then we are ready, but at the moment, our team is worse than last year.
Remember we have lost bent, welbeck, onouha, mensah, Henderson (wanted him sold to be fair)
But how do we replace bent and welbeck? We replace them and im happy ...
Eh up. Another one with phones ringing in the kettle and post dept. And you call me a moron ? That rich from you.
Still waiting for you to post something worthwhile and acurate.

At least I can spell...
You have been on this site for about 2 weeks, I've been on here since it launched in January and was on the old 606 site for nearly a year, so how you can accuse me of posting nothing worthwile or accurate is beyond me.
Most of your posts have been woeful, in terms of your opinions, the evidence you base your views on, and grammar (it wouldn't surprise me if you hadn't left Primary school the way you put some things).
I have also seen your posts on the HDM site; quite frankly, they are embarrassing. Your lack of knowledge on the club is tipified by your opinions on Bullard - retrived from the HDM site:
"AP NP and JB can all shake hands and get down to getting Hull City back to the PL and that way the rewards would more than pay for the last 2 years."

Calling Hull fans thick isn't the way to go Tickler!
I think The FRENCH TICKLER is trying to complete with doveston007, to win the 'most obnoxious poster' award.
Was not meaning all. Some are the best around. But the rest ? well, no more comment.

ya phones ringing again OLM

It's ok, he just doesn't know what obnoxious means, so can't state a worthy reply![]()
Gormless ****
I do a lot of reading on here and I'm regulary entertained by various posters and some of the banter.
It amuses me greatly seeing the reactions to the posts of TWF (Percival), I can understand and appreciate blatent wind ups and banter
But,
You are just a pathetic, attention seeking, ill informed, poorly educated, embarrassing ****
No wait, I'll change that. ****s are useful 3 weeks out of 4. You're a **** on rag week (a ****ing pain when it turns up and a ****ing joy when its ****ed off).
Thats all
Goodbye
