Altidore

I guess the question is does anybody have a better solution. As we've said there are no great solutions so saying a given player is crap isn't helpful 'cause they all are. This season the team has scored 2.2x more with Altidore than without him. If there was some obvious plan I would say sure let's do it, but there isn't and we don't have time to develop something new. That leaves Poyet with the option of going back and seeing what has worked best over the course of the season. Again, if someone else has a better solution we're all ears.
 
Altidore has 25 league appearances and we are bastard bottom of the league. He is one of many f***ing problems this useless f***ing team has.

Sick as fuck today
 
Goals don't matter as much as points do. So what are the stats for those?

Persisting with Altidore is one of the reasons we're in this mess. He wont be here come August so no point even playing him now, these last few games will be mainly used as planning for next season I think. We just need to hope he scores at the World Cup or something so we can try to recoup a few million on him.
 
We've scored an average of 0.5 goals a game more when Altidore has worn his red boxer shorts as opposed to his white pair.

See, I can talk shite too!
 
Sunderland total vs. EPL opposition (league & cups) = 3660 minutes = 38 goals

Altidore on the field:
1969 minutes = 27 goals = 1 goal every 72.93 minutes (or 1.23 goals per 90 minutes)

Altidore not on the field:
1691 minutes = 11 goals = 1 goal every 153.72 minutes (or .56 goals per 90 minutes


but lets send him to the u-21s

It is sad how blind some people are. Put players around him and the team will score goals.

I would buy that if we did better without him, but we've done much worse without him. As you said before Poyet has changed other things as well, but still we clearly have scored much less since he has been dropped. Again, what is your better plan? And I would question if we would be in this mess if Poyet had given some more time to the team that was so successful mid-season instead of chopping and changing. I agree that that team isn't great, but clearly the changes have been even worse.

Ball control - none
Passing ability - none
Heading ability - none
Strength - none
Movement - none

Worst player I've ever seen play for us. But oh he scored against Bosnia and a few in a third rate Dutch league so he must be f***ing mint, it's everyone else's fault.

He's f***ing shite, fuck off.

I don't have one, we are down, I don't care, I just want the season over and done with. Anything that will avoid is getting a battering against Everton at the weekend will be a good start.

That really destroys the theory that anyone but him would score goals...When he hasn't been playing, Sunderland has been much worst and goals has been even scarcer to come by...stats don't lie.
 
Blind? f***ing hell man he is part of a the team that is currently f***ing bottom. He is part of the bastard f***ing problem.

He's f***ing useless

Ya, you lads choose to see what you want. The squad has scored more goals and played better with Altidore in it. Is he a great player? No, but the squad plays better with him in it. If Gus had a bit of sense he would pair him up top with someone else so he wouldn't be so isolated to see if it could work.

Which is surprising considering he contributes fuck all, no goals, no movement, can't pass, can't control a f***ing football etc etc etc.
