they go really overboard at a couple of signings. but what really amuses me is that they assume without doubt they will be a success and improve thier league position, no thought for previous signings like flo, bent, jones, gyan, or that they could struggle to settle, form can suffer. nope not at sunderland , sign a couple players, climb a few league places- simples.

At the end of the day they've made what are totally predictable Arty Ziff signings.  British based, and through necessity to get them to play in the dump, overpriced and on hugely inflated salaries.

Fletcher is an OK forward but with too many relegations on his CV and Johnson can be brilliant on occasions but is  ultimately an "itty-bitty" player with questionable attitude who has become used to getting paid for doing very little. Our present player recruitment team wouldn't have touched either with a barge pole.

I don't see any significant leap forward in their prospects/progress with these two players on board but really start to wonder how a club with such a low matchday turnover (free tickets etc) can sustain it's manager's spending policy in the longer term.

No doubt they are now going to hammer us in the derby matches (see previous season's August macum bravado - yawn)

 

In Keano Brucie Marty we trust. FTM.

It's as if they have absolutely no collective memory or experience whatsoever. Make one or two new signings and their immediate thought is 'can't wait to stuff the mags! FTM! 9-1! 43! hahahalolflrol scumville!  9-1! FTM!'

 

:llorente?:

 

:okay:

 

They'll be spitting bile if Johnson doesn't get much change out of Santon. I rate Johnson but he's exactly the type of player Santon can play against as he's very quick and strong on his right foot when wingers cut inside.

It's still going to plan and as we though it would. They'll have a good spell, trouble the top half and maybe even flirt with an outside chance of Europa League qualification. Then Marty will leave when there's no more money and they'll sink like a stone and take ages to recover.

From a quick look at RTG I conclude that they've just won the Premiership title?

 

Just makes the bile laden jealousy, gnashing of teeth, crying and infighting so much funnier when it all inevitably goes wrong.

They'll never learn.

They just never learn do they, why not let things play out before gloating. I think they truly believe we will roll over and have shit players and squad, whereas we actually have a quality first 11 and enough youth / squad players available, virtually 2 players for each position. Bring it on

It's not a Tyne-Wear derby without them going into it over confident.

Johnson is a very good signing for them and if they keep Sessegnon they could probably get top 10, maybe push for top 8. Still, its a massive amount of money to spend and they there's pressure on them too perform now.

Aye - makes the subsequent meltdown even more enjoyable.

It's always nice to see some of the smaller teams in the North East trying to better themselves. Helps the stature of the region.

 

Indeed it is.

Also nice that they supply free tickets for their sparcely populated stadium to unwilling disinterested schoolkids, students, tramps etc during these testing economic times, while bigger more arrogant clubs expect people to pay to watch their sold out games.

How do Seb "Dead Ball King" Larrson, James "The Irish Messi" McLean and Adam "Magic" Johnson all fit in their starting line up? How well will Sess "Better than Ben Arfa" egnon link up with "Stephen "The most expensive Scots player ever - ergo the best" Fletcher?

 

Seriously; how?

Looks like Larsson will move into the middle with Cattermole, Johnson right with McClean left, Sessegnon central and Fletcher upfront. It doesn't offer a lot of protection for what isn't a great set of defenders, they relied on 2 banks of 4 to keep games tight last year.
