Coventry, Ipswich and Hull

£20 million :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Brighton have well and truly had your pants down, we bought our keeper and first choice defender for £22 million.

Best of luck this coming season, it’s going to be some slog if the likes of Rushworth are your main targets :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Likes of Rushworth? Have you ever seen him play?

Just like Brighton had our pants down with Gyokeres.

He’s not. You’ve been led down the path of buying home grown players who are half as good and cost twice as much as players from the continental leagues. Roefs was a brilliant signing for £9m. Go compare.

That's what we'll do with the rest of the team. Rushworth is the most important signing we will make both financially and on the pitch.

So if you've seen him play, why are you so amazed at the fee?

Teams like Coventry have never shown humility to us, even after we knocked them out. They still trot out the bollocks they should have won.

They've been arrogant for years towards us.

F**k them.

One team and yes, I totally agree show the same amount courtesy towards them as they do. That's not a problem. However, the amount of pelters Hull, Ipswich, Boro etc. have received recently is just embarrassing. Easy survival because the former two and Coventry are coming up etc. when the reality is nothing is easy or given in this league.

It actually could be the Mags. Poor/nonexistent scouting or recruiting team. Very poor form and a manager out of ideas. A want away squad and many ageing. Owners who are not interested and rarely involved. Angry fan base. Out of Europe. A precarious PSR/SCR position.

They do have saleable assets, but are the least likely to reinvest it well.

If they dont have a good start this coming season, the bubble could burst spectacularly.

The way things have been going for us in the last couple of years I wouldn’t be that surprised, though it would take a mammoth effort from one of the teams coming up

Roefs would still have been a brilliant signing for £20m. They're getting a young, quality, homegrown keeper for pennies in PL terms. Be very unlikely they don't make money on him, of course it's a great signing.

This. It's mad reading this forum lately. You'd think people would have a little more humility given where the club have been in recent years.

And this is exactly what I've been pointing out recently.
sunderland have done really well in their first season up, and qualifying for Europe is quite an achievement.
But, the way SOME people are just dismissing the promoted clubs is really odd and quite pig headed.

Yes, the 3 that came up might well go back down next season, but similarly so could sunderland.
One good season doesn't make any team an established premier league team, and just dismissing the way the three promoted clubs MIGHT go about their business is also very odd .
The 'sunderland way' has worked for you this season just gone, but that doesn't mean it's the ONLY way to achieve something.

Coventry, Ipswich and Hull have been promoted deservedly - they've therefore earned the right to have a crack at it - in their own way.
People just dismissing other clubs in this way is the exact attitude that people accuse Newcastle fans of.

It's a good signing but it doesn't improve your team,. See Burnley, they spunked their load on turning loans into permanents (basically staying still). That would be my worry, especially if that's a big chunk of a budget (I don't for one second think it will be mind, surely not?)

Called it, some variation of 'things are this way now but may not always be' as expected :lol:
