After another awful performance, the board has been taken over by the bruce enquiry, should he stay should he go? The team has been criticised as a whole, but very few have been named. With bruce statement that he wants to sign all the loan players, are we all in favour off this still?, ive already said i wouldn't touch mensah or muntari with a barge pole, i'm still in favour of ned, but must admit for the first time about having reservations about wellbeck being the next big thing, maybe it's the team and not him. But loan players aside who is worthy of donning the red and white next season, based on what we've seen so far? Yes to gordon/mig, also turner, bardo, catts elmo,, then it becomes unclear. Gyan is a big yes, as long as he's not relied on as being our main striker, as he needs a proven scorer to work with. I still don't want jordan to leave, but if it paves the way for say a top striker so be it. At this moment, the rest i'm not bothered about, but that's not important, what is,is If there is to be wholesale changes in the summer, who deserves to stay and who deserves to go? Some tricky one's there, as there's some cracking players, some nearing the end and some just don't seem up to it. Or is the blame just to rest at bruce's door
We certainly need someone who can cross the ball and take a decent corner / free kick. Oh for the days of Sumemrbee and Johnston......
Not alone there commachio I've never wanted him from the first time we were linked about 2 years ago.
I hate to say this with him being a mackem, but Hendo has been like a headless chicken for months. As much as I'd love a local lad lead the team forward, I'm not convinced he is the man. Although I would be delighted to be proved wrong. However if some of the bigger teams have bought into the hype and offer a fair wedge for him, then I wouln't cry about it and it would help us re-invest elsewhere. Sessegnon is a classic, flatters to decieve player and I've not seen anything to make me feel he's in it for the long term. Muntari has shown nothing so far, Mensah can take his brittle bones elswhere, and to be brutally honest, Michael Turner is great in the air, but a giant cart horse on the floor, with the turning circle of the QE2. He's not top class. Bardo has been excellent, a proper geezer, Catt's would run through a brick wall for the lads, and Gyan has a touch of magic about him- that we need to see much more of. Mig or Gordon would do for me and Steed is worth keeping too.
I'm not sure the loanees are an option any more. Let's face it, I'd rather sit on the bench at Man. C. or Man. U. than play every game for this club. It's a mess, a complete and utter mess.
I have posted my concerns over the lack of depth to our squad for some time mate......... now we are struggling to pick a starting 11 for next season
I very much doubt N'Zog coming. As somebody said on here before, he's been linked with us in every transfer window in the past 2 years! If he would come here, he would have come here already.
Bruce has a struggle now to pick a starting 11,as he seems not to know his strongest/best team.For me,Muntari and Mensah are a no-go.We should have less reliance on loanees,and should play Jordan in his rightful position.But,most of all,we must get rid of Bruce.
It's going to cost quite a bit, all this. Hope our board goes for it but with the way this season is heading, I have reservations they will. Gosh, never thought I'd be such a doom monger!
Bruce's sell-by date is long-gone......I only wish he was long gone!!!!! Wherewereyouknow,you know the craic...it's a shame that Brucie doesn't.What were the song lyrics years ago....if youve got to go,go now!!!
I'm not normally one for supporting calls of sack the Manager, but I think that things have gone seriously wrong. This non-winning streak is just too similar to last year's - it's too much of a coincidence and I would not be in the least bit surprised if we did not win another game this season. So, as you say, the Moody Blues have it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Wherewereyou,we now know the answer to the problem....Moody Blues solve it for Moody Red and Whites!!!!
who'd come to Sunderland now mate........different storey pre-christmas perhaps.............no good if you've got plenty of cash if no body wants to come
