Sunderland and Celtic in for buttner on season long loan
Believable5
Unbelievable2
12 signings and in the relegation zone! that is unacceptable!
Agree5

Celtic cannot as the scottish transfer window has closed
Agree6
Disagree1
We shouldn't have bought so many players. How can a team gel with so much disruption. PDC needs to be told - no more transfer activity
Agree1

Only 3 of the new signings started yesterday, so what exactly is your point?

We needed at least 12 signings! It's true, such a volume of change is extremely risky but would we be better off if we hadn't made them?
Remember yesterday we had our two first choice strikers un available; that would hurt any team. We only had four of the new signings playing so they're not to blame for that performance; that was more indicative of last season.
PdC knows he needs a CM and I think he's been experimenting with what he has to try and find a decent pairing. I'm not sure there is one!
I said back in July it was going to be a testing season but the changes had to be made and I admire what the club is at least trying to do.
PdC keeps mentioning the lack of confidence around the squad he inherited. I wonder where that comes from when 20,000 fans get on the players' back at every opportunity (sometimes even without an opportunity!). Please don't damage this crop of players or put off others joining by slating everyone and everything about the club.

Nonsense. Only 3 started? So what was the point of it. Disrupting the first team and the entire squad.
We only needed 3 or 4 players. With a chance to refresh in January

Agree tottaly with above post too many changes too little quality in this squad!
Agree0
Disagree0
We got rid of like 8 players, we needed players in numbers aswell and they have european experience, it will take time to gel, but things will improve without o;shea, vaughan and larsson playing, personally I think Paulo has picked these players as he wanted to take a look at them to see if they can cut it and ji, oshea, vaughan and larsson can't!
Agree1
Disagree0
You honestly believe we only needed 3/4 new players. that's nonsense! 7 of those players yesterday were there for us week in week out last season, where did that get us. You answered your own point, there were only 3 changes! and some of the 'established 'players can't cut it!

Okay everyone, don't get too excited

FACT, we have the slowest back 4 in the EPL. FACT, we have the slowest midfield in the EPL, so what do we need? so why get another player with no pace?
Agree10
Disagree1
Just watched sows last two games he's crap we need some pace in the side
Agree3
Disagree2
I thought sow was a pacey fox in the box type player? Hope we get him, can't be worse than ji.
Agree1
Disagree2
Id take agbonlahor or someone like him pace and can score
Agree4
Disagree4
WE NEED not want WE NEED A FAST STRIKER, FAST MID, FAST LB get it sorted man DI CANIO, THIS HAS BEEN A BIG LET DOWN I KNOW WE'RE 3 GAMES IN BUT COME ON
Agree5
Disagree1
Agbonlahor scores 5 a season if he's lucky.
Agree3
Disagree4
Sorry to sound like another hater but I have been very optimistic for this season and my optimism is very quickly being sucked out of me. Cabral on the bench? Vaughn and larrson in cm? What is going on in dicanio's head? really struggling to see the method to this madness. If anyone can give me thier oppinon on the matter of these team decisions it would be a big help as I feel i'm going out my mind. Vaughn is a waste of space.
Agree5
Disagree1
This is being reported on metro says we have had a 12M bid turned down nothing about terms being agreed it won't happen
Agree2
Disagree0
I'm really not too sure is Di Canio actually knows what he is doing. We have no speed but he still doesn't try to bring any in and Ji shouldn't play for our club again. My optimism has totally disappeared.
Agree4
Disagree1
I'd made my decision on JI after one game. weak as water
Agree3
Disagree0
The main problem with us at the moment is PDC doesn't know his best team and all the chopping and changing isn't working as we havnt the quality to rotate like this!
Agree2
Disagree0
{Ed024's Note - We certainly need a settled core to the team.}
Agree with the above why play JI when he is out of form. where is cabral and karlsson who are playing well? strange decisions from a strange manager!
Agree2
Disagree0
I have never seen sunderland play so bad. we were passed off the park we missed cattermole so much and I hate saying that, we were weak we could not pass, play had no pace at the end they were fitter than us, I really hope i'm wrong
Agree1

We need ndaiye back he was starting to show a bit last season and he is a physical player.

Sess out - Ki in.
Although I'm gutted to see Sessegnon leave (even though he is so inconsistent) I thought maybe PDC could have given him a bit more oomph but never mind I think Ki is a good move by PDC because he has learnt to be able to keep the ball and spot a pass after his time at Swansea. All the best to Sess in the future.

Unbelievable2
Ki is a very good player but swansea in europe this season where you need strength in depth if he has a good few months for us he will be back at swansea in january
Agree1

There is no call back clause so we have him for the season READ THE FACTS!
Agree2

Yes there is a call back clause! Go look on the sky sports site!

Can be recalled in January good signing though

Just looked at Ki on youtube and I know it can only show his best clips but he looks great. Good passing, good set pieces, good shot, not afraid to tackle and I didn't expect it but he has a bit of flair and can beat people.
Believable5
Unbelievable3
I think it is also to help Ji settle because PDC rates him highly and maybe another Korean will see us get the best out of him.
Agree1

Will all respect, he is being rejected by his club for very good reason. A bit like the majority of your new signings.

North and South Korea. I can see war on here

They are both from South Korea

Reading the various rumours it looks like ki will sign on a season long loan + de ceguile in at lb that for me leaves a striking position to fill if sees leaves, if so I would love the club to bring in a exciting number 10 type player though fletcher n altidore might just click here's hoping HEPCAT 86
