Vinny Green Balls Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I would be shocked if they finished 7th. 9th-13th as I said earlier. Would be a bit surprised if they finished lower. Realistically I think the 25-30m bought them 4 places. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tisd09 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I am more impressed with the Johnson signing. While I think Fletcher is a good player they have paid way over the odds for him. But green with envy? Nope Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
nobby_solano Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Johnson's a great signing for them, I do really rate him. Fletcher's ok but as has been mentioned Gyan, Bent, Jones, Cisse were probably better and they didn't kick on with any of those. Wouldn't say I was green with envy but Fartin' O'Squeal has made a couple of decent (if very overpriced signings) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robster Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 I'd be really interested to know the reasoning behind Johnson's decision. The default request for players these days is to play at the highest level possible (International, Europe etc). I'd be interested to know why he's chosen Sunderland over say Liverpool or Spurs (if they were genuinely in for him). It's hardly like there is a new revolution going on at Sunderland. Is is just a case of being close to home being his top priority ? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and actually playing games I would imagine - he's done a lot of bench time for a young player, at Sunderland he knows that if he's fit, he plays.

Is is just a case of being close to home being his top priority ? Maybe it is money orientated but I'd guess he was on more at Man City? To be fair to him he may have based his decision on play time? With the added bonus he is close to home. He's going to be a big fish at Sunderland possibly seen as their biggest player. It will be a decent shop window for him. If he plays week in week out and does well at Sunderland then the interest from Champions League will be more concrete. At his age he needs to be playing week in week out and as long as he is fit that's what will be happening at Sunderland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

cp40 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 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.

Benwell Lad Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 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.

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. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
