Long term recurring eye injury?

It’s a shame Kimber never kicked on because he had the talent but ultimately he had enough chances. Not young anymore either.

Amazing what happens when you sign good upwardly mobile players from Europe rather “Skipp” and “Ayew”

Sunderland have 44% of our points total from 24-25, 16% of the way into the season.

Most predictable free kick ever.

He is a bad footballer - he’s a winger with 549 apps, 85 goals and 45 assists. He doesn’t look terrible in that he doesn’t have a poor touch or really do anything overtly bad but in the aggregate he adds nothing. I hated the signing at the time and he’s been even more of a hindrance than I expected. Dross

Necessary. You have idiots think he plays well though because he sees so much of the ball (to the detriment of the team). Even shit strikers are better than no striker.

Because they’re working in an environment where they just manage in their own self interest and there is no design on the future. Vestergaard has two years left (he’s 33) and Faes has one. A competent club would have already let them go or sold them. Instead we play players that are expensive, declining or don’t want to be here because they might be marginally better right now. This short termism is why we’re perennially in a mess. Look at how we managed Iversen, dicked around an academy graduate that would have kept us, extended his deal, didn’t play him and then rejected a £4m - left on a free. It’s the worst of all worlds time and time again

Hope if we get a fine for failing to control our players we contest it. Carranza and Abdul’s were totally wrong. Chav twat.

3 starts between them and 2 were out of necessity. What I mean is our academy players have to jump through hoops all the time, Nelson is being held to a higher standard than any of our other CBs? Why is he dropped for mistakes but Faes and Vestergaard play with impunity. Nelson has gone out on loan 3 times, impressed everywhere, looked good in the few games for us in the championship last time and gets to watch proven failures cost us points?

Why is one 45 minutes in a shit side thrown together for a cup game enough to rule him out but Faes/Vestergaard can shit up games all they like? If he cost us £6m he wouldn’t have been treated like this. The approach to academy players is all wrong and you’d think having the director of football also being the academy director might help but, no it doesn’t.

If he persists with Ayew up front then I’ll think very little of him - up until now I’ve thought he’s done a good job in difficult circumstances but he’s shooting himself in the foot now

What do you expect when you have Soumare and the Soumare of forwards in the same side. Net negatives in possession

Chav ref is shit

Off the top of the Birmingham Road Eve

“Daka can’t hit a barn door!!!” At least he’s near the barn

Ayew ruins any enjoyment I have watching us play.

Blimey, probably couldn't afford him but https://fbref.com/en/players/28702d71/Kamiel-Van-De-Perre

We probably need two actually defensively capable across January and the summer. Norwich bought jacob Wright for £5m but don't seem to start him. 4 assist in 900 minutes last season. https://fbref.com/en/players/b6db05c3/Jacob-Wright Would be worth enquiring about imo.

Looks like he’s adding goals to his game - £30m will look a snip at the end of the season unfortunately

Anis Mehmeti's contract is up at the end of the season, it's worth having a go with a small fee in January. Smashing it for Bristol City this season. These are all out of contract in 2026 too. Hugo Bolin at Malmo too, although he mostly plays LW where we're pretty strong. Yari Veschaeren Trey Nyoni (lol) Gabriel Piccini (very nice Serie B stats) Andy Irving (no idea how good he is tbh, good record from midfield in Austria) Oscar Fraulo

Still gutted we were robbed of Braga, Athens, Zhaporizha (?) and Prague

He adds something we’re lacking, it’s not like Thomas contributed at all going forwards. Adds more athleticism too.

Some of these guys must have about 8 years no claims on their car insurance
