That was complete rubbish. He came out publicly and denied that online.

Would be a great signing, a real leader, experienced, and probably up there with one of the best CB's in the league. To be honest I was surprised when posters in other threads thought we didn't need another centre back drafting in, especially considering our oldest CB is 23 and has only played...

He certainly wasn't shit. I think he has (or in my opinion, had) raw talent that could've been developed under Robins. Is it premature? It's well noted that athletes sometimes cannot perform to the same level as they did prior to the injury. Say this wasn't the case though, his development...

You do realise there's a pretty good chance that Jodi won't ever be the same player that he was? Granted he had talent but we only saw a brief glimpse of that potential and talent within a short period of time. Not to mention that was also at a lower level of football so what guarantees are...

What I find frustrating about Hiwula is that if you look at his goals against Bradford, Barnsley and Doncaster, he's actually got a half decent left foot. Yet in the majority of games I've seen him play in he's completely reluctant to use it. Especially if he's forced to take a first time shot...

A lot of pieces have to fall into place for him to leave. Wilson seems very happy at Bournemouth and extremely popular with their fanbase - plus he doesn't seem like the sort to throw his toys out of the pram and demand a transfer. Similarly, Bournemouth don't seem to need to sell so unless the...

With the greatest respect unless you're in the shoes of a professional footballer you can't say what you would or would not do. Football has evolved massively since Matt Le Tisser last played and ambition trumps club loyalty 9 times of out 10 in today's game. Perhaps hypothetically if you were...

Really hope you're right! Perfect deal for the club if that's the case. Whilst I would snap Wasps' hand off for a one year extension, knowing that it's more than probable we'd be in the exact same position 12 months down the line unless SISU behave themselves is pretty depressing. Now that we've...

If you're going to start name calling at least get your facts right. They most certainly are in a position to offer much more for starters as their playing budget is larger than ours, so they can offer more wages and bonuses. Last year I think they had the highest average wage for their players...

Oh fair enough, my sarcasm radar was clearly off this morning haha! Glad you agree as it's a real pet hate of mine. I just don't understand the negativity directed towards players who have given their all for the shirt, played well and yet some fans hold the notion that they're never allowed to...

Bit of a cliche isn't it? Fans will literally say that about every star player who leaves their club. I believe the same was said about McNulty when he departed to Reading, yet fans were desperate for him to come back in January due to our struggles in front of goal. Willis has been excellent...

Stendal certainly inherited a decent side as well, there's no doubting that. They were predicted favourites along with Sunderland this season so I suppose there are slight similarities. But realistically if you're comparing the calibre of player on paper prior to the season, Sunderland wins...

Mark Robins is a huge fan of Clark if memory serves. Would he a good addition if brought in.

No they didn't? Honeyman played 45 times last season and scored 7 times from midfield in their relegation season. Gooch featured over 40 times prior to their relegation to League One since the start of his Sunderland career. Maja was the least experienced but was highly rated last season, and I...

Bit long winded but couldn't condense it so apologies in advance. I'm not by any means saying his job was easy but saying he deserves the manager of the year award simply because he was forced to rebuild isn't sufficient reasoning in my opinion. By that logic Mark Robins should've been awarded...

I disagree entirely with this. Granted he had a huge rebuilding job on his hands so he has to be given some credit for the work he's done in shifting a significant amount of players out, and subsequently bringing in a fresh group. But given the size of their budget, and where they currently find...

That was only because he knew as much about lower league players as I do about astrophysics. Bugger all.

Wouldn't be the worst idea in the world to hang onto Davies next season for a number of reasons. Solid player, well liked in the dressing room and a good leader. Also, whilst it's obviously important to avoid keeping players for the sake of it, at the same time it's important that we don't leave...

I'd agree with this to an extent, although I disagree entirely about moving Hiwula on as he has goals in him, something that we're already desperately short on. I understand the logic of putting wrong footed players on either wing so they can cut inside - something Hiwula has benefitted from on...

In his first full season in the game he's looked head and shoulders above the likes of Mason, Brown, Grimmer McCallum. Granted he's had a shaky start and has tailed off, but I reiterate, it's his first full season in the game and that's to be expected. From his performances this season...
