We’re going to need big Jow more than ever today if these rumours are correct. With Shelvey out as well our midfield is pretty threadbare

Major Lerl

Seems to want to let things go when there’s been a foul and then blows when there isn’t one. Odd to say the least

Genuinely think that’s about as good an appointment Sunderland could get. He’s had prior success, he’s not a PFM, nice guy and they’re clearly not an ambitious club. Neil got paid a pittance so they couldn’t punch any higher than that really

Absolutely gagging for the sack

Really shit news for him and for us, proven he is a very good defensive second option at right back. If Trippier stays fit then it’s not going to be a major issue hopefully

I reckon we’re only a few games away from him laying his cards flat on the table and letting us know that from now on, West Brom will be doing it his way (synonymous with getting them relegated)

Ouch

Whenever I see this thread bumped I click into it desperately hoping he’s been linked with a championship club, alas no

Big Jow will sacrifice Paqueta in front of Bruno and eat his heart like in Indiana Jones and the temple of doom - red card with an additional three match ban for dangerous play

They could do a lot worse than Mowbray, he would be a good option for them

Maupay looks like he’s been dosed up on some drugs in that vid

Wonder what that means for Leicester doing business before the end of the season for themselves. Doesn’t leave them much time to find a replacement. They’ll probably have to massively overpay themselves

Get a thread made pronto. 6’2 so he’s supporting our efforts to be a team of tall bastards

I think we’ll see him start for us very soon, not tomorrow but maybe the game after. This is different from some of the other signings, we need him in the side. He’ll either oust Wood quickly or Howe may put him in on the right whilst still playing Wood for a game or two

Howay Bondswell, spend another season out on loan and come back as a quality left wingback option. Hopefully he can get a season in as first choice for a decent championship team, do Stoke need a left back?

They can’t say they haven’t backed Ten Hag if they go for Antony or Osimhen. If he can’t get them fighting for champions league football with those players (provided they sign) then it’s a failure really

Five year deal on the yellow ticker, I thought it was six?

I’d say that Paqueta to West Ham is the most unexpected of those three by some distance. Can’t really get my head round he hasn’t gone to a bigger club / club with more potential

Imagine they’re waiting for the official announcement of Alex Neil leaving Sunderland for maximum impact

They’ve said it all along though that they are looking for a certain level of player. It’s clear our approach is to buy between the age of 22-24 where possible. Still, there must have been some RWs in that bracket we looked at and just didn’t think we could get it done, e.g. Diaby. I wouldn’t be at all surprised if we get him at a later date, provided we continue to push on

I agree that he messed up a bunch of chances but our best delivery is from Trippier, he’s just scored a quality header and I think we’re far more likely to have luck with Wood in the air over the ball at his feet

We can win this, if Isak had come in earlier in the window I’d expect us to get at least a draw. With Wilson out it’ll be Wood starting but I was pleased to see him actually head a ball properly against Tranmere. We have to remember that Trippier and his amazing delivery wasn’t an option for Wood last season because of Tripps being out injured. I’d expect them to link up better now. There’s no hope of Wood linking well with through balls so we’ll have to work on lots of crosses into the box

Their opinion of themselves as a club is so out of step with how everyone else views them, it’s really odd

Everyone has the same opinion on here, I’m sure it’s shared by the club and that this is down to Dubravka wanting game time and to play in Europe. Doesn’t mean we should take a shit offer, option to buy makes absolutely no sense
