Rayvin 5311 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Hang on, isn't Altidore going the other way? So when you factor in his value, they're really only paying £7.199999m. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 46093 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Â FFS he's had a really shit year. He's had a succession of them. And NONE OF IT is his fault. [/Ant] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 14069 Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 For that comment but also at the mackem's desperation with Defoe. You'd understand paying a premium for a player who has been scoring goals in the league this season but he's been titting about in Canada for a year. Reckon people saying "he'll score enough to keep them up" are ignoring that Sunderland are fucking woeful at creating chances for the strikers they actually have, without adding Defoe into the mix.

Yup. It could be that his cleverness around the box will make it easier for Johnson & Laarson to fashion chances, but I think it's more likely that Defoe won't be that bothered about busting a gut to find a yard. Â Are they trying to recreate Quinn & Phillips with Wickham & Defoe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reckon people saying "he'll score enough to keep them up" are ignoring that Sunderland are fucking woeful at creating chances for the strikers they actually have, without adding Defoe into the mix.I think he's always had the ability to create a goal for himself. I'm not talking about dribbling past players but when he receives an average ball to his feet and manages a quick turn or something that get's him enough space to get a shot away. I remember him scoring one like that up here a few seasons ago. He's not like Bent who needs them on a plate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ayatollah Hermione 14069 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 In fairness, we have got a fucking massive injury list, to the point where I'd rather see a new manager come in, get them back and work with them because there's good options amongst them. We're in desperate need of a centre half though since Carver seems allergic to playing Dummett there, despite him clearly being better at CB. And Dummett at CB is by no means the long term answer, obviously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kitman 2207 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 I think Pardew Carver and Stone have a case to answer as far as injuries are concerned. It cant be a coincidence we regularly have the worst injury list in the league. I would hope the new manager will make a big difference in that area. Unless its Carver of course.

Â I'm convinced that our managers just make them run around a lot in training tbh. Load of pulls and strains on that list. Pardew is to blame for rushing the likes of Abeid, De Jong and Aarons back too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ClubSpinDoctor 0 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Letting foreigners fuck off back to their homeland for treatment every time they break a nail probably doesn't help mind.

Pardew is to blame for rushing the likes of Abeid, De Jong and Aarons back too Yup, they definitely rush players back and have done for a while. We've also got a staff that looks like they'd have an outdated view on training techniques with people like Carver and Stone running the show, so I definitely agree they'll be running like a cross country team tbh.

Kitman 2207 Posted January 15, 2015 Share Posted January 15, 2015 Yeah. I'd understand it if we had a load of players over 30 but the average age must be nearer 26 or 27 due to our signing policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
