ATB Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 If Dempsey indeed is signing for that lot, they'll have proper annihilated any upper wage cap. Also, surely that would mean the end of Sessegnon. If that's the case, I don't think they've done particularly well. He is striking to get out of Fulham to join... Sunderland.

Guest BooBoo Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Let's not be blinded by rivalry. If Sunderland sign Dempsey on top of Cuellar, Saha, Fletcher and Johnson then it represents a very good window for them. They've shown ambition, backed the manager and strengthened. As it stands they've closed the gap. They won't break top six but they've realised where they're weak and done something about it. I wish we would do likewise.

Ted Maul Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Two good signings for Sunderland in a footballing sense as they're definitely miles miles better than what they've got - however I do wonder a little about how their finances are going to cope with around £25 million on those two with their wages also. Seems very Martin O'Neill at Villa to me. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest BooBoo Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Of course Sunderland have been unimaginative in their deals but bottom line is they'll have a much better team than last year. We can't say the same, yet. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnypd Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 Fletcher Sessegnon Dempsey Johnson is a pretty tasty front four unfortunately. a hell of a lot better than seb larsson, that pockmarked irish lad, frazier campbell and craig gardner.

Mike Posted August 27, 2012 Share Posted August 27, 2012 You dimwit. You honestly think I care that much about Sunderland? I've never met a Mackem in my life. We didn't have Sunderland fans over here until a few years ago and, knowing what I know now, I mostly just feel bad for them when I hear that's who they support. But once you sign up to serve the black and white then you take on everything that comes with it. James McClean? Hope he turns out to be absolute shite. John O'Shea? Hate the guy now. We're part of war that never ends Michael, it may not be our war but when that inbred Mackem comes at you with his weaponised cheesy chips do you think he sees that apathy in your eyes? No, he only sees the black and white stripes, and it's fight with your brothers or die on your own. So soldier the fuck up, you pussy. Nah, fuck that. I'm not going to hate American players because they play for teams that are rivals of my team. I chose Newcastle. I'll learn the history and realize who the rivals are and enjoy those wins a bit more and lament the losses a bit harder, but I'm not going to turn my back on some shit that I am for something that I chose. If Dempsey going to Sunderland makes the US team better, I hope he goes. It'd be great if he went to Rome, though. That would be way better. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
