Turn the clocks back only a few weeks on this board and a good 80% of posts were full of negativity and doom and gloom ... even borderline suicidal! Roll on 29/6/2011 reading today's posts and I'm happy to be a SAFC fan, Quinn & Co have obviously been doing their homework behind the scenes, today's signing being a prime example. I know we still need to strengthen other areas but my confidence has returned, I fully believe we will add at least 3 maybe more high calibre signings before the seasons start. What happened to the old Sunderland and transfer deadline day, we obviously do things differently now! Optimistic .... I am!
Well I was certainly one supporter who was down in the dumps after our total capitulation since January and then selling Henderson 2 weeks after that awful period. However, as with any supporter, I am entitled to be happy as well when things are good and the signings so far are all very good IMO. They will all add to our sqyad and make us a far stronger unit. That this recruitment is quite clearly nowhere near over yet is a hugely encouraging sign that Bruce means business and thast good for the club and us supporters.
Already posted this in another thread the Bruce out brigade the questioning of Quinn and Bruce My answer then was the transfer window is open untill August lets judge then At the moment things are looking positive and i still see a couple more big names coming in
I will admit to some mild panic, i even feared that the Henderson sale was gonna put off supposedly nailed on signings, Larsson and Westwood. Looking at it now, we are getting the balance, we have a young hungry team, and arguably THE hottest young prospect in British football. You can cite Sturridge and Welbeck, and i'd love either, but undeniably we have somehow got a hold of the most sought after of the lot, and my credit and praise for Bruce, Quinn and our wonderful owner Ellis Short could not be higher. Our 3 muskateers, and not an injury plagued Frenchman in sight!
