I think I'm the other way. I blamed Given, Carroll, Enrique etc at the time but with time understood what Ashley's like. 

 

100% this. Carroll sale broke my heart, and it ended a level of love for football which I'll never get back. It's only be recent since I forgave Given as well. Enrique I was pissed but the goalkeeper thing ended that quite quickly. 

 

Enrique was fully responsible for his move. It was fair. Given really dropped us in it with timings and Carroll was convinced to leave. It was his decision but the club made him aware they wanted it and would be best for all parties.

I believe that Milan were formed on the basis of some Sunderland fans wearing their red and white kits down the coal mines and then donating them to the locals.  Hence the red and black stripes, marra.

 

This is not the story officially, of course, but three erstwhile Sunderland historians know the real story.

With all this talk about our budget, I wasn't expecting us to pay quite so much for one player. I don't know if this means we're going for quality not quantity.

 

Tonalifan's description of him very much mirrors what you see on You Tube - a real 100%-er, and versatile. 

 

That's perked me up a bit.

Shay spent the closing moments of his final appearance for us away at Blackburn stopping a fight between Barton and Enrique and I'm sure he'd spent half the game being sick pitchside too. It stung at the time but we did have a reasonable deputy in Harper and we were such a bloody shambles right then I couldn't blame him for wanting away so quickly.

Nah Bruno progresses the ball with passing and dribbling much better. Silkier. 
 

The Tonali comps are full of hard running, interceptions and tackles, good feet and decent passing. 
 

A Bruno comp will have more skilful runs and less obvious passes. 

 

Yeah I agree, he won't progress the ball like Bruno. But I think he is far more composed than Bruno in certain situations, primarily in defence. I would imagine that Sandro will allow Bruno to operate further up the pitch but with the ability to pivot.

 

I really hope this happens, can't wait to see them both control the midfield together.
