Good job we never signed a black striker called McDonald back then or the same paper could've claimed we called him 'Superblack'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 On 02/01/2020 at 08:23, Kitman said: The articles posted by J69 reminds me of john dahl tomasson, someone who we all thought was a dog shit striker until he moved to a club that actually understood where and how to play him. Im not saying he will have as successful a career as JDT but surely Joelinton can’t be this bad. Tomasson was tried as a lone striker,alongside the main striker,behind the main striker and in mid-field and was like a little boy lost in every position.

Alex 35057 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 JDT was signed to play as a number 10 behind Shearer. I’m not that convinced he was suited to the PL back then anyway though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monkeys Fist 42356 Posted January 3, 2020 Share Posted January 3, 2020 Aye, I seem to remember him being as substantial as a wren’s cock, with a first touch that made Shola look like Messi. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5217 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Dalglish was a horrific manager for us. And with Liverpool the second time around. It took until Robson for us to recover from him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
