I think he was sold because we were in such dire straights, but technically, yes.

If DJ gets a run in the team, he'll score goals off Howard, no question about that. I think it'll be one of the two personally.

No, he's 20 I think. Promising player, but I'm very worried about the number of injuries he seems to pick up. The signing of Oakley and the (prospective) loan of Osbourne should give him the time and space he needs to develop IMO. Seen Odhiambo play when he was on loan for Southend and wasn't...

We need to strengthen in other areas as well. We've just blown £1.5 mil (ish) on Steve Howard. 3 mil for Fulop would bring our spending to 4.5 mil. I would imagine that is the uppermost limit of what Milan has given Ollie to spend. So no, if that's what Sunderland want, I don't think we'll...

You're quite right. We've got plenty of 'one's for the future'. Let's have some players for 'now'.

Jean Tigana and Brendan Rodgers would be very tasty IMO, now that Jewell's ruled himself out of the running. Think I'm probably living in a dream world though...

:eek: Hmmm. Where's the 'stroking your chin smiley' when you need one?

Noticed they've moved the news of him having signed to a friday date on the OS...

And Newton I'd imagine. He was recommended to Kelly by Milan last season.

The lads an utter bombscare. £650K is the best bit of business this clubs done in quite a while...

He's not really unknown on the scale of Hellings if I'm honest. Would be a decent signing and has played on the left in the past if memory serves correctly. I think he's too good for us, but if Milan and MA can make it happen, then fantastic. :038:

Completely agree with this. Freund was excellent when he came to us.

Check your PM's buddy.

In terms of FANBASE I'd say Blackburn are probably comparable if not slightly smaller...

I'd say he's probably a mite busy preparing the players for the match tonight. :icon_wink This is all smoke and mirrors- I don't think for one second that we are being told the real story at the moment- and it may be the case that we never find out what has really happened here. I would...

Re: JFH and Murphy latest - Hasselbaink having medical !!! Do you think JFH is really going to sign if he's been dicked around, as it appears?

Re: JFH and Murphy latest - Hasselbaink having medical !!! Think we both posted at the same time! :biggrin: This is seriously worrying though... :icon_sad:

Re: JFH and Murphy latest - Hasselbaink having medical !!! He didn't say mountain out of a molehill- he said a molehill out of a mountain... Suggests to me that, if Boc is in the know (as he appears to be) , there could well be something in this...

Re: Not one rumoured before but... Very, very excited. :)

Re: pre-blackpool match thread 3-1 City Hume 2, Clemence Everyone complains that De Vries doesn't score despite holding the ball up well for the team, and laying on both of Humey's goals. Att: 29,154 precisely

Was going to this but am not so sure I can make it now. Parking in Cambridge is a flaming nightmare at the best of times (and the traffic is also usually bad!). Parking at the ground is at a premium (and soooo easy to be blocked in- been there done that) so I wouldn't bother if its busy. I'd...

Sounded a fairly decent first half (for a pre-season friendly!), the team seems to be holding their own against pretty good opposition. However, I'm more worried than ever about the left hand side now. It's almost to the point where I'm actually wishing MA will throw Porter on for 45 to see how...

As long as it's from women, it never gets on my nerves :icon_wink:icon_bigg

Are you extreeeemly handsome as well? ;):icon_lol:

1. Where will we finish? (Put your neck out and pick a place, not roughly ) 5th 2. Who will be our top scorer? Deej 3. Who will be our player of the season? Clemence 4. Who will be prove to be our best signing of the summer? Clemence 5. Who will be our most improved player from last...

Mattock will be first-choice left back I would suspect- although I'd be worried about burnout, with Sheehan as back up. Chambers seems to be a decent right-back but not at left-back so I'd be iffy about using him there. Am a lot more worried about left-wing right now- Hayes and Porter don't fill...

Why fans of our club would boo our own players in a FRIENDLY is absolutely beyond me. DJ's barely been at the club five minutes for God's sake! People shouldn't have been bigging the team up too much when we were beating the likes of Quorn and Partick and they shouldn't be lambasting them when...

Heard that Porter had played centre-mid quite a bit in some recent training sessions. It may be that MA realises that he is better there. Clemence is a fantastic signing. I'd rather have hard work and graft, with simple passes to get attacks going than show ponies who spray a 50 yard pass once...

When did that happen with us? We were buggered in terms of signings until MM took over- we never made any moves when the takeover was process was going on. We only managed to make 3 loan signings because we sold Gareth Williams or Martin George decided to flash his cash (whichever story you...

Weso's 20 isn't he? If that team was fit 100% of the time, we'd be lower mid-table at best. However as it wouldn't be, I'd be seriously worried about our chances. As has been said, we need at least 4 or 5 more quality players.

Re: Cambridge United away Im planning on going, been to the Abbey before. Horrible little stadium if you're the away team! May kill two birds with one stone and visit some friends at the same time.

He was integral to our mini 'resurgence' (and by that I mean we won a few games and look slightly more like scoring a goal or two) under Worthers. I'm not saying he's amazing or anything, just that he was one of the few signings (perhaps the only signing?) that really added to the team. Sinclair...

I don't agree either. N'Gotty did fine last season, he'll do fine this season. In fact, of all the signings thus far, I have the most confidence in him. I think there are bigger signings to come (I certainly hope so), and there is certainly plenty of time before pre-season, that's for sure...

I'd say that would have been Milan's unveiling, no? Although I do see your point. Press conferences of any importance have been a bit thin on the ground... As for Sinclair, I'm a bit 'meh'- personally I'd rather have Newton, but I'm willing to give Sinclair a punt. I still think MA's best...

I'd only keep: The 8 we just signed from the academy on prof contracts, plus Mattock and: Hume Weso Newton Kisnorbo Cadamarteri But I'm realistic, I dont think we have the funds to change the entire first team squad, and the following would suffice as decent squad players...

God help us if he is... :tumbleweed:

Perhaps its 'Nige's' way of telling them they're shit and aren't required to train today because they won't be playing on Saturday...
