NG32 Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Sunderland have a moneybags chairman/owner/whatever he is. Go and spunk £7m on crap and let us have the freebies, please. He actually hasn't spent that much. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 I'd be pretty dissapointed if players saw Sunderland as a massive step up above us tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest firetotheworks Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Surely, even with us only being promoted, if Gosling's choice's were between us and the mackems, he just couldn't chose them, I mean, he must surely visit both places and see the players in each team. You can't look at Sunderland and go 'thats an attractive propsition, I really want to go there', you only go there if your mind set is 'first team football, decent wage, aye ill play there till I get a move away' (Kieran Richardson to name just one) I'd say the stock is pretty even between the two at the moment. The Chairman - Sunderland The Manager - Sunderland The Team - Sunderland The Team on Paper - Newcastle First Team Opportunities - Sunderland? The City - Newcastle The Support - Newcastle The Wages - ?? maybe Sunderland Reputation/History - Newcastle The Potential at the moment - Sunderland Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunderland are settled, have a proven manager and a top goal scorer. We on the other hand are in a massive transition period and its being handled by fools and people who want to take a lend of the fans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pilko Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 Think our (apparent) lack of money could see us an advantage re. the Gosling deal - if he sees that the mackems are loaded he'll know they have the potential to sign better players that will see him being a squad player at best again like he was at Everton.

Dr.Spaceman Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 30 odd thousand crowds to our 45 thousand plus in a lower league? Aye, that's with them flogging tickets for a quid and giving them away to school children anarl. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeyt Posted July 8, 2010 Share Posted July 8, 2010 They've got a canny few CMs who won't want to be on the bench, and who are presumably on decent wages. Riveros, Cattermole, Cana etc. EDIT: Cana's just left Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 I'd be well chuffed if we got De Guzman and Gosling on frees like. 20 and 22? There's room for improvement and development for both of them, exactly the kind of age of players we should be bringing through. young players don't seem to improve under us much from recent experiences IMO....saying that I would happily have them both here.

toontownman Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Cant see us getting de guzman, despite what the rags hint. remember being happy to being linked with his less talented brother julian, which never materialised. jonathon will have a ton of offers on the table if he really has overcome his injury problems. if thats not the case a switch back to canadian allegiance and a toronto move beckons.

oldtype Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 Can't imagine anyone choosing us over Sunderland right now for any reason other than maybe being a Geordie. In fact, we're probably 18th or 19th in terms of attractiveness in the league Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

In fact, we're probably 18th or 19th in terms of attractiveness in the league Stoke, Wolves, West Brom, West Ham, Bolton, Blackpool & Blackburn are all better propositions than us are they? That was just skimming. Howay man, we're not that fucking bad a prospect for a professional footballer. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
AyeDubbleYoo Posted July 9, 2010 Share Posted July 9, 2010 This time next year, if we are established in the Premiership, we'll start to become attractive to better players again (although we won't be able to afford them). At the moment it's a big risk joining us. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I try, optimistically to reference my thoughts back in 93. If we can get a balance as we did then between talented up and coming players and experienced ones I think we'll be ok.
