Do Sunderland have any Mackems playing? Its about getting the right characters in, regardless of where they're from

He was also about 17 or 18 in those appearances man ffs

I don't rate Mitro very highly but Daryl Murphy scored 27 goals in the championship last season so I'd say he'll be fine

Players tend to get better as they get older like

Aye saw that. Stopped reading when it described him as a good passer

Southampton got pelters for sacking Adkins, Leicester with Pearson, West Ham with Fat Sam and now Watford are with Sanchez Flores. They're the exact same situations as our one with Pardew.

Pace, power, speed, acceleration, he's fast

Really? You only followed Newcastle for 8 years? Aye Boumsong and Rozehnal were way better

Best defender I've seen for us

Even when he was good he went through long anonymous periods in games. Wonder who will go for him

You forgot Emile Mpenza

Definitely hope we keep Krul, Mbemba, Lascelles, Dummett, Perez and Armstrong. After that there is a few I wouldn't mind keeping but wouldn't be devastated if they left either

Because France's options in HBA's position are absolutely insanely good. Is Cabaye tipped to make it?

Did he actually say that quote?

Love Martial

Not so sure. Think it's as simple as Robben/Ribery aren't at the same level anymore. But the rest is better. Dante & Gustavo are big step down to what they have now. I think Kroos and Schweinsteiger were better than what they have now in midfield also

They have better strength in depth but their first team isn't as good as it was a few years ago IMO

Wales have pretty good left back options which is unlucky for him

Go up either way IMO

Everybody knows Cisse is pretty shit these days, that's why there is less chat here

I'd keep him. Think he'll be a good player at that level

At what point was last season worse than this? It was a worse situation for Perez. Perez is a physically small lad played up front by himself for most of the season in a long ball team and did a pretty good job overall in a position which he wasn't suited to. Mitrovic is a big strong guy playing in his best position and didn't show as much

Nobody praises Perez' performance anymore. He did a lot better last season in a worse situation for the majority of it than Mitro did this season though

wat

Find it hard to be angry at Chelsea when we couldn't beat Aston Villa tbh
