I’m old enough to remember when we turned down a million quid for Gordon Armstrong, and I thought we were mental.

We would never have had that Chelsea moment in 92 though.

He should come inside and diarra should go on the wing.
Was it not because we'd just flogged Gabbiadini to Palace and the fans were pee'd off, also remember similar for Gary Owers for 700K or something but these could be dreams as its 35 years ago..

True. My favourite ever Sunderland goal that.....till Ballard's.
Remember someone came in for Owers, can't remember who though. Remember delivering my Echo's and reading Southampton had lut a £2mill bid in for Armstrong.....splashed all over the back page...i couldn't believe it. Took a 'spare' Echo i had left in my paper bag home to show my Dad

Was Enzo one of the ill players, if so good spot and well done him for managing to play so well, proper little fighter.

For Owers, I remember Nottingham Forest being reported to have bid £1.5M. He was valued at about 400k in part exchange for Martin Scott in the end!True. My favourite ever Sunderland goal that.....till Ballard's.

Cool as Fridges
Full Back
Massive fan of his. Grafts his arse off, loves a tackle, tough as old boots, skillful as they come, can open a tin of beans with that right foot and on top of all that, as cool as penguins toenails.
Not fussed where he plays but we’re a better team with him in it.

Diarra should be on the bench, he produces very little. Even his penalty the other week was shite.

Most talented midfielder I've ever seen at the club.
