Do you think Rafa would have been starting Daryl Murphy last season like?

As I said, I think we still need another striker alongside Murphy, we're pretty short up top as we're seeing after a handfull of games. If he's signed as a starter then I agree it's horrific As things stand we now have Gayle, Mitrovic, Perez, Armstrong, Riviere and soon Murphy. We aren't signing any more strikers this window. Probably not, but I'd still rather Murphy than no-one. We're short up top, Riv is awful, no idea how good Armstrong is in this league, Perez is better on the wing for me. As long as we signed him with that in mind which I assume we did I'm fine. I don't think we're bringing him in expecting him to start ahead of Mitrovic most games and tear the league up.

Can't believe people aren't allowed to criticise a proven poor player. Who says he will be third choice anyway, the rotation that Rafa favours suggests he will start a lot of games. Just because we are in the championship doesn't mean we need to accept low quality. How is he a proven poor player? We're in the Championship for a reason, he is a good player in the Championship (that league that we are in) some people need to wake up. He's had one good season, he has been poor everywhere else, he even managed to fail in the SPL. Do you think Jamie Vardy is a proven s**** player? Going by Murphy's record he's been absolutely fine for 3 seasons; if he's still hitting around 1 in 3 then he should be fine here unless we've inexplicably signed him to lead the line for the rest of the season. He progressively moved up leagues, Murphy has failed in all except for one season. He didn't like, he jumped from non-league straight into the Championship and averaged about 1 in 4 up until last season. Murphy has had a fairly shite career but going off the last 3 year he seems like an average Championship striker at worst.

Sunderland are in the Premiership like.

Perez gaining a bit of confidence would be better for us going into the season than 3 points.

I think it's more important that Perez gets on the scoresheet in the league than a win too, a 2-1 defeat with a late Perez consolation would be fantastic.

I'd take a narrow defeat at this point. A hammering could batter out morale.

I hope he's on the right plane.

Hard to argue with that.

And you are pua raging that people are mad. He has everyone mad.

imagine not getting a ludicrously small release fee put your contract when we were dishing them out like sweets, you greedy little twerp.

Cannot see the issue at all with signing Murphy like. We'd still need another striker in though unless Armstrong is good enough.

It's a but unfair anyway but no real difference to what we have now. The 4th place teams are/were expected to win their qualifier.

wat

I know I shouldn't as that forum probably doesn't represent them as a whole, but I've went from giving them the benefit of the doubt to hoping he stays there forever. Imagine watching and listing to Alan Pardew through his worst and not absolutely hating him?

I did the other day, it didn't go that well tbh. https://www.holmesdale.net/page.php?id=106&tid=162025&page=34#post_3045022 I'm just on the phone now ordering 10 ton of s*** and 5 ton of bollox,i think a 2:1 mix should be about right to speak your lingo. Location: Midlands

He's a total arsehole like, and massively overrated (by himself anyway), I just don't see him not trying on the pitch, be it in the past or the future. He has and always will try to drive us forwards and we deffinitely need that this season.

If he isn't trying on the pitch he'll be dropped like Shelvey and Gini were.

He's never gave a fuck and has still been one of our best players. Not worried in the slightest about him tbh.

Absolute legend Not really.
