Guest Paxton Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Colback looks like a good, young prospect, tbf - but to compare him to Tiote is absurd. Yet probably less absurd than comparing Cattermole who has no discernible footballing talent beyond leaving a foot in and being a dickhead. Quite....hence the likes of Chelsea being linked with bidding around 20 to 25 million for Tiote. Cant quite see the same for Cattermole and Colback...... How good was Tiote at 22? Like I said, give it time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Paxton Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 That Messi is alright, but I think Connor Wickham would be better suited to Barca's style. Well worth the 8 million pounds in my opinion. 18 years of age and is only going to get better. In the very few times he's played this season, he's looked comfortable and very composed on the ball for such as young lad. Aye and tbf it's nigh on impossible to find a ready made goalscorer for around £8m these days. Never heard the saying 'One for the future'? Future, past (9-1 FTM LOL!!!111) isn't it time you lot lived for now? Yes, my club is in the best position it's been since the 1950's. Strong squad, financial backing, well known sponsors, world class manager and slowly gaining a reputation internationally. I firmly believe that Sunderland is living the life right now, it's known as "Niall Quinn's magic carpet ride" Ok definitely taking the p*ss I thought the mags were supposed to be doing this on RTG? We've had a s**** 50 years, apart from the 73' cup win. Mainly relegation promotion relegation promotion. (And Division 3) This is the best position we've been in for a long time, wouldn't you agree? Is this any better than the promising spell under Reid? If so, why? Genuine questions. We didn't have a owner with strong financial backing under Reid. We should have pushed on from there, but we didn't because Murray fucked around with transfer fees ect. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They like to pay ridiculous fees for s*** players. Carroll? Henderson isn't shit. Average footballer yet to reach his peak who moved to one of the big clubs way too early.

Guest MrSundlofer Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I would also pick Jack Colback over Tiote. At 22 he is already a solid Premiership midfielder. By 25 he shall be a regular starter in the England squad. This just proves how stupid some people really are Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if torres went for 50m, does that not set the benchmark no, it means they were both massivly overpriced. at least torres had a good record of years of doing it at the top level scoring all types of goal, carroll had half a season being a battering ram.

Well if torres went for 50m, does that not set the benchmark The price was to do with Liverpool telling Chelsea they wanted £15m profit from selling Torres, so whatever price was agreed for Carroll, Torres would cost 15m more. Our bargaining position was that of a man holding 4 aces in a poker game, such was the desperation of Chelsea to buy Torres. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think you have a capable squad for Europe. Injuries have hit you hard but players such as Williamson and Perch have came in and done a fantastic job, and so you haven't lost your place. Pretty comfortable squad players to have that would get in Wigans starting 11. Don't think you'll win it because the Premier League shall obviously be your main foucs but just to be in the Europa competition is an achievement for any club, any Sunderland fan, including myself would love some European nights at the SOL. And it shall also improve your image internationally too. I think Ba is a fantastic player and so no doubt bigger clubs shall be in for him, but he won't be a loss because as I mentioned earlier you have found a just as good, if not better player in Cisse. Cisse was a bargain (Maybe judging too early?) for the price that you paid, considering Gyan cost us 13 mill. Not luck, but I think Pardew has done an excellent job. To turn a championship side into a team fighting for 6th place, on a limited budget in under 2 years is amazing stuff, your scouting team haven't done bad anarl. Top 4 is not far off if you get the right investment in the summer and keep Ba. Next season I think they're shall be much more competition between the two sides. And I'm not sure how it'll pan out. But you cannot doubt O'Neill has came in and done a fantastic job with the same team as Bruce had. (Relegation candidates) Not a meltdown at all, all I did was give my opinion, and that was that I don't rate Cheik Tiote over my Captain. Jesus I have heard much worse statements from some of the mag poster on RTG, that just go under the radar. Like I said, I'm a level headed poster.
