Bizarre. I can't get my head around anyone who has watched Scottish fitba for the last 20 years thinking we would need more than 4500 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I honestly didn’t know that, so I apologise for yet another daft post. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

well fan for life Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 (edited) 1 hour ago, thisGRAEME said: Which, from memory is a big part of why our game fell to bits when Kipre left because we never replaced the daft numbers he did, I think donnelly redressed the balance a bit from memory (may well be wrong) but last season we lacked it. There was nothing more majestic than big Cedric striding out of defence to pick someone's pocket and ping passes about. Some laugh having a defender the size of a block of flats who could nutmeg strikers at will.

Yorky Posted July 27, 2021 Share Posted July 27, 2021 58 minutes ago, capt_oats said: Cheers. I thought it was something along those lines. It feels really weird to be 4 days from the first game of the season and us still to have 3 or 4 obvious gaps in our starting XI but equally it's also vaguely reassuring if we've actually looked at where we had problems last season and are looking at players who might actually be *quite good* in those roles and do good, relevant numbers. As I say, that's only off the back of a report that he's someone we were looking at and putting 2+2 together but given the way our midfield failed to function with say, Robbie Crawford in there it feels relevant. Along with I’m guessing many supporters just the fact we appear to be targeting better quality players outweigh the fact it’s leaving us short early on. I would rather we start poorly while building something longer term than starting the first game with a large squad that we know is going to do nothing. It is as you say pretty weird to feel ok about it when we should be really worried, I’m probably more comfortable with the direction we are going that at any time in the last five years. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odoffin still comes out high, but be wary of thinking someone is a good ball winner based on total numbers, especially when they're in a really weak side. Less possession your team has, more opportunities to win the ball back. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

capt_oats Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 Sunderland being "linked" with a "move" for SOD. According to *ahem* Football League World "the Black Cats feel as though they could get the player in this summer for less than £500,000". Tbh, thinking back to the chat during the Euros about there being a "modest" exit clause in his deal £500k would sound about right relatively speaking. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kapowzer Posted July 28, 2021 Share Posted July 28, 2021 (edited) Pro's: Current international right back 2 years on his contract remaining Current captain (whistles and looks ceiling) £500k for someone that cost us nowt Con's: Form decidedly "meh" (granted a lot of that could be down to the job he's being asked to do/tactics) "Modest release clause" which only benefits us if there's someone else other than Sunderland interested Him: Big bump in his weekly earnings Upheaval for the family Us: Does GA think he can use that money better elsewhere? Max Johnston ready? (club seem to think he has something about him as few others have featured in their own video short "Here's ma dug") Edited July 28, 2021 by Kapowzer 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
