Our current squad better than the mags

With Defoe, Borini, Watmore, Anichibe and Pickford, yes. Without them, no. We currently have no strikers and we no longer have a class keeper. On current squads they would beat us imo
 
Man for man - maybe, probably not but they are a team. An actual team who play football, we are not. Certainly not last year.

They look pretty weak (bottom half at least) but they came up champs and that will give them a little lift over other similar teams next year.
 
Shhh don't give him clues man. He's trying reeeeeally hard to prove he doesn't care about Newcastle.
Personally I have a picture of each of your squad players in my shed. I have a daily rotation for my dart board. It's the turn of Henri Saivet today.

I honestly couldn't describe him accurately. I think I'd end up describing Sylvain Marveaux. Saw so little of him.
 
And we got tortured last year- seriously would you trade teams as it stands?

So by your reckoning you're absolute certs for promotion with 95 plus points, despite the fact that you have no striker on the books and a very thin squad which is predominantly defenders.
The bookies must be seriously wrong then looking at the odds I'll go pump the mortgage on...easy money

Some of the threads on here man just absolutely defy logic
 
Vito
Jones Kone O'Shea Oviedo
N'Dong Cattermole Rodwell
Lens Watmore Khazri

That's a better team than the mags could currently put out. However, I'm sure that come the end of August they will have signed players while we lose them and will be able to name a stronger team.

Put things in perspective.
Dog shit Dummet gets a game for them :lol:

Eh? Are we talking about the same universe? The safc squad that finished eight points adrift at the bottom of the pile? The same squad that is now without the only players of value? JD and Pickford gone? Gutless, talentless and over paid journeymen? No striker? No central mf? No fb's? Gutless central defenders?

I'm bemused.
 
This is the type of ridiculous thread we would have crucified them for at the start of last season when roles were reversed. The fact they have a striker who scored 20+ goals last season and we have lost our two best players from an already threadbare squad means no one should be under any illusion that we have a better squad than them.

Sunderland scored 29, and the player who scored 15 of those has left. Anichebe with 3 of those goals has also left. Borini with 1 goal has also left.

That leaves 10 goals in the current squad, unless more goalscorers have left? And with no strikers, it certainly.is a bit crazy to suggest Sunderland currently have a better squad going into the championship season than the team who just won the championship.
End of the window is probably best to post threads like this.
 
Just get the garbage lorry out throw out those Black & White prison uniforms out!! Hate Newcastle hopefully we switch spots with them next year...
