If we'd kept Mannone .....

[The Rat]

Anyone who says we wouldn’t have more points

Jesus

I said this at the Time

 

[JAR7391]

I think we would have had at least another 10-15 points and thereore be mid table mediocrity instead of relegation fodder.

I agree. Maybe not that much better off but definitely not 5 points adrift and there’s no way in hell we’d have conceded 72 goals.

 

[Goldeneye]

The three keepers between them have set the standard for how bad this season it has been.
It was obvious at the time it was a big mistake to sell Mannone just before the start of the season it was the one position we were alright. All this bother for just £2m. That charlatan Bain has a lot to answer for...

 

[Mackemed]

He wanted to leave and the managers decided to sign shit replacements. Nothing to do with Short or Bain.

Shut the fuck up mate.

 

[Dagzd1973]

Ellis short has cost us a place in the championship . Giving no money

The absolute f***ing state of some Sunderland fans.

 

[nowtgoodeverhappens]

On the way home my mate told me it looks like we’ve had our goalie sent off and we have an outfielder in there when Camp is in nets.

 

[Kubicki26]

The absolute f***ing state of some Sunderland fans.

Aye the ducking state of Sunderland fans who defend Ellis short

 

[U22]

I agree if we kept him or replaced him adequately we wouldn't be where we are, however he did want to leave.

Still, regardless of that, we should have signed better and not signed someone who got dropped from a team that was relagated from this division the season before.

 

[dangermows]

Well we didn't. Welcome to Ellis Short and Martin Bain's SAFC.

Let Mannone go and Pantilimon go and pocketed all the Pickford cash.

Put in relegation clause in to allow Defoe to go on a free.

Wouldnt stump up cash for MVila and instead opted to pay a record fee, over numerous installments, for Ndong.

I blame moyes.

manone at the end of his last season done a walkabout with JD, as if he knew he would be leaving.

to sell him after selling Pickford was just crazy or promised by the manager.

How did we go from having a surplus of good keepers to Curly, Moe and Larry?

 

[Treehugger]

Mannone

I hope Mannone's critics on this thread now realise what a shit keeper looks like.

He isn't "very poor" or "wank" and wasn't then. Nor did Pantillimon go to a "top 6 club".

Can't argue with your assumption marra, our goalkeeping situation is dire.

 

[EchoMan]

Camp was woeful today. Cost us the game IMO.

 

[WHD]

It's one of the main reasons we're going down.

 

[Dagzd1973]

We're in this mess because Short gave TOO MUCH money, the exact f***ing opposite of what you posted.

 

[Billy Batts]

With the benefit of hindsight we should of kept him yes, but the goalkeeper situation typifies Sunderland by replacing bang average players with worse. It is amazing that Sunderland have had 3 cracks at replacing Mannone with a keeper of equal standard and failed.

[octopuss gardner]

For the sake of £2million (which is immediately negated by relegation which would have been avoided) It would also be interesting to know, the difference in Manone’s wage and the three amigos combined wage, I bet it wouldn’t be far off been equal or more for that lot. Complete and utter shambles.

 

[Frasmotic]

Maybe we should also be looking at our 'keeper coach' & our 'defence coach' (if we employ any) because there appeared to be no communication or idea how to identify and deal with two of their players anticipating a cross.
