Realistic mate, I’ve always said I think we’ll be play offs and lose it this year but win the title nexts season. That’s since the new lot came in.
Just messing with you fella.
it's understandable people feeling very apprehensive about it. This is Sunderland after all...

I'm still hopefully optimistic that that crap run was a 'blip' and were going to win the play offs convincingly ;)
 
Anyone think JD would score 20 goals in the championship? If we get there of course.

what a buzz it would cause if it happened with crowds being allowed back in.
 
While they were here at the same time Maja spoke very highly of Defoe and the amount of help he offered.
And they both left! There's very little, if any, loyalty left in football. We really shouldn't think we are bringing some of these footballers 'home'.

Defoe owed us nothing and still doesn’t. He did an awesome job here.
Maja is a young player and had a shot at more money and playing in France.
As for loyalty, it doesn’t pay the bills. Football is a business and the players are employees paid to do a job.

I'd take Maja back on loan if we go up no issues. Defoe's on pitch abilities would not be my primary reason for bringing him back. He would fit perfectly the type of environment they are trying to forge across the academy structure. There are literally no negatives to any player-coach deal if the money is right.
 
I don't think anyone would be delusional enough to think Defoe is as good as he was in the Prem, he'd be a good backup option off the bench and a great character to have back here, I'd certainly be offering to pay for his coach training if I were in charge at the club and offering him experience as a coach here.
his wages o play would be so high they would probably account for 20 per cent of our entire budget next season!
the coach of his coaching badges will be fuck all compared to his wealth..

the money cant be right though..our wage budget next year wont be big enough if we are in league one to accomodate a player on 20 or 30 grand a week..

how do you know he would fit into the academy structure? what kind of coach is he?
