why can't we compete with villa?

[lawe toppa]

Charlie would have been a great signing for us and would of got goals for us. how can we expect to progress and not sign a player who we could of attracted? This shows a distinct lack of ambition. Before the clappies start saying we have signed 9 players etc ask yourselves this apart from brown and oshea where is the quality? We still have not replaced bent, and the left side of the team is a joke. Bruce is a yes man and quinn is full of shit

9.5mil for someone who is out of contract next year? Not including his 60k per week wages, signing on fee, agent fee, etc.

Plus he made the most impact with Wigan down the right.

there are some truths in this post , we are a nearly club always will be mate , bit harsh on Quinny tho

[Il Postino Pat]

£10 million and £65k a week may have just been too rich for Sunderland.

[Ferryhill Exile]

They'll (Villa) gan down this season and we will get him at a fraction of the price next summer.

We didn't even put a bid in, therefore we couldn't compete. We competed with Villa for Craig Gordon, and won.

[Pacific]

if we'd bid he would have choosen us over Villa

we could afford him, we just want value

If people are complaining that we can't compete with Aston Villa after years and years of being a bit of a shambles, we can't be doing too badly.
