Vinny Green Balls Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 the issue is not whether they are decent signings or not, as far as I am concerned. Just imagine what they could have improved if they spent the money more wisely. We all know British players are ridiculously overpriced, and these two are no different. Filling two much needed positions when they could have easily filled four, and with comparable or better quality. It's absurd and it has bitten them in the asshole, as it did with us, in recent history. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ponsaelius Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Yawn. They sell when they get value and cut their cloth accordingly exactly the same way we do. Check their ins and outs over the last few years. Keano spunked a fortune but it has been equalized since. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thespence Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Correct thespence. He is very much a right winger regardless of his footedness. Playing him left negates his best attribute. The Northern Ireland lad on left prefers to shoot instead of cross. Sebastian Larsson was the main creative hub of the Sunderland team so it will be interesting to see how Fletch fits in to there game plan will they play it into him then look for him to lay it off for the wingers to shoot.

Vinny Green Balls Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Spending a fortune on overpriced players didn't work for them before. They certainly did okay getting so much for the likes of Henderson, but seriously, they are weak in other key areas, and that hasn't been fully rectified with the signing of these two. Bottom line is that they got absolutely fleeced, and it certainly won't improve them by the 30m they paid. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everyone behind the ball, break with pace, shoot from any old angles looking for goals/corners. Repeat ad infinitum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. Nguyen Van Falk Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 That's the difference between us and them, their sole ambition in their squalid little lives is to get one over on usc whereas we tend to not care about them until Derby week. If we make any signings of significance over the next week the last thing I will be thinking about is that the Mackems will be jealous of us. Yep, read so many posts on RTG already about us. Enjoy your new signings you inbred fucks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disco Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 In theory Fletcher is just Bendtner's replacement, so not too much improvement there it's actually only the signing of Johnson that will 'add something'. As with most O'Neill teams due to their ability to play 10 men behind the ball at all times they'll probably be more effective in the cups. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thespence Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Fletcher is pretty bang average imo. As far as SAFC strikers go he is not at the level of Bent or Gyan or have there known goalscoring power. There loanee strikers in recent years are better than him imo I am referring to Bendtner , Wellbeck & Cisse. Fletch may prove to be more consistent than Kenwyne Jones but I don't think Fletcher has them unplayable days that Jones could have. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
