TheHoob Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Can't say I've watched any of their signings so far except Altidore but Giaccherini looks like a good player. Dangerous game they are playing having so many new players who need to adapt to not only a new club but a new league. The mass macktracking about players coming from different leagues is a sight to behold. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
triggs Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 obviously not hipsters. I only seen him at the confederations He also played for the Italian team that got to the final of the euros. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 I severely doubt Matri would go there but it's possible I wouldn't concern myself with that.... Matri is a very average player who relies on lots of service to do anything. Which he won't get at Sunderland. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Barnes23 Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Their squad has been full of dross for a long time, so I don't think the turnover of players is a bad thing. Wholesale changes were needed if they wanted to progress and it looks like they're taking place. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just seems it's going to be like the R. Keane era mk. II for them. They seem to buying quantity but are they actually any quality? Altidore to me just seems Shola-esque, and very average. Not to mention they've lost 2 of their best players aswell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deuce Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Get the impression that this board would downplay any signing Sunderland made. "Cavani? Nah he's average. Needs a lot of service which the Mackems won't provide. Pure quantity over quality that." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope..... if they sign Giaccherini then its a good signing and if they sign that Argentine RB it would be a good signing from what i have heard. But Diakate, Altidore and Mannone are average.

Deuce Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 They'd all be upgrades over what we currently have in the squad, particularly depth-wise. Sunderland is making positive moves to overhaul their team, while we've not made a single positive change yet this offseason. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah.... maybe Altidore would but i would rather try and get actual quality that can improve the team than a squad filler. Also i'm aware we have done nothing so far but so have a lot of teams, quality signings are a lot harder to do than getting squad fillers. If we still haven't bought anything come start of season then fair enough but its too early to say anything at this point, every team in the division will look a lot different when the season starts.

STM Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Even if they overhaul their squad, it won't have the quality of ours. PDC is doing the right thing by bringing in hungry players and trying to get rid of the older ones. However, the signings they have made are largely underwhelming. Alot to be said for team spirit though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stuy_O Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Think that was more down to us being completely gutless than the quality of the sides. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 This happens with them every summer. Massive changes in the summer completely changing squad. The squad won't gel and they'll struggle by December, manager gets sacked new one comes in does well until end of season. Rinse and repeat. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SEMTEX Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Quiet tones...but....they've done really well this summer, haven't they? They've done decently so far. Really well is a stretch. Mignolet -> Mannone is bad, but I'm aware they'll be going the Westwood route as #1. They've got in some decent names to make up the numbers too. + I know you're American, but Jozy's previous stint in the UK was unimpressive. I know his form is good, but he's been scoring in the dutch league, he's far from proven. It's a big risk for that money. Heard good things on Peruzzi, but never seen him play.
