Saw that tottenham need a clearout to fund new players which in my opinion are top quality players which would only serve to enhance our squad- players like dawson sandro dembele townsend. I know all will be demanding a decent wage but at some point sunderland have to decide there direction. Do they continue with the transfer policy under di canio where they sign randoms with no PL experience and it continued under Gus when he signed Scocco for 4 million. Weve missed out on so many decent players and richards is just another example.

Especially Dembele and Sandro

Played off the pitch today. Fortunate draw. Wickham is a striker, and a lot better than Fletcher, why not play him there. Gomez needs to start. Yes mr mackem, we need defenders. Rodwell looked like a boy against men. Another long long season. Bollox!

Yehh mate just need to make a statement and buyy players with premierleague experience that will make a difference in games like we had today. Roberge was completely out of his depth and should have scored aswell. Wesley is a class act and should partner o shea; we need options at the back but I thought on the whole today we did OK. Larson offers very little in the middle with set peices being his supposed strong point and we never score from set pieces.

yes Gus got it wrong with the back four! and again with Vergini and Jones out we were threbare at the back and would have played Larsson at rb rather than Brown Rodwell looked unfit hopefully he can produce the goods when fit!. but I suppose playing badly and getting a point is good! hopefully by next Sunday well have some signings and our defenders fit!

Proof we need more signings. We have no depth. Vergini is not a star player, but if we lose him for a match or two due to a knock and this is all we have we're in trouble.

So 1 game into the season.
Transfer window not even shut yet
The manager promising more players.
Catts of all people scores a screamer

And not one of you can even raise a smile. Jesus.

We pulled of a draw today at a ground where we do not have the best of records. having had the softest penalty I have ever seen given against Roberge who fair enough wasn't great today nor do I ever expect him to be but looked better than when he first arrived.

Look at the positives for god sake.

Mannone continues to look a class act.
We are scoring goals from midfield.
Even Catts has enough confidence to shoot from 30 yards.
We have Fletcher fit again.
Wickham is willing to play on the wing witch shows commitment.

There is method in the madness here. By playing Wickham, Fletcher, Larrson and AJ it allows us to revert to 4-4-2 when needed which showed effective at times today.

they are in no means the finished article but for christ sake give them a few games before we all turn bitter. God
