With that lot to go with what we already have I'd be expecting play offs.

Paranoia, the voices in my head, get help you sad manYeah keep telling yourself that bains bitch
So as I said it works both ways. Don't know how many times I have to read the Kevin Phillips analogy on here either. Total straw clutching.I can only speak personally and say I've been pleased with a few signings based on a handful of games and, on occasion, not having seen the player.
I was pleased with Duncan Watmore and I'd never seen him play.
I'd heard various people, in football, praise his game and his attitude.
He was 18 or 19, quick and cost very little ....... I think he's been a good signing and think he'll be an asset this season.
On the flip side, Matthews had played in the CL and for Wales, was young and we were short of right backs.
For a couple of million he seemed like a decent bet ....... no sign of that gamble paying off though tbh
HA'WAY THE f***ing LADS!
reet, back to the misery.....

No, it's a convenient, lazy and relative example tbh.

But you can guarantee if our new signings make an instant positive impact the posters that are slating them calling them shite etc will be back on here in a flash praising them as if nowts the matter
I can always find positives in any situation mate.
I'm being honest, despite a few glasses of Chablis, now so bear with me.
I was once on the street repairing my American Chevy van that wouldn't start and was pouring petrol into the carb. As I was doing that with one hand I shorted a wire across the starter motor with the other hand and it burst into life. Sadly it backfired and spewed burning petrol all over me. I fell to the ground and rolled around trying to put out the fire. I was engulfed in flames and really panicking that I might die. As I was beating my hands on my hair, to put the flames out, on of the neighbours walked past.
"Having a bit of trouble there mate?"
"Yeah, looks like I might need to put the air line through the carb."
As he strolled off down the street, leaving me smouldering in the gutter, I thought, "This'll make a f***ing good story one day."
I never thought the first time I'd tell it would be on a Sunderland football forum that didn't exist at the time. But the recollection has made me laugh and take a look at the scars .... I expect that might make me appear weird to some people but, as I say, I can always find a positive in any situation. After being on fire, watching us play at Aldershot in the league and fail to win owt since '73 this current situation is just a laugh. If some people are intent on seeing it as a nightmare/catastrophe/disaster that's their choice ..... it just makes me pleased I'm not them.

Hope the new signings all do very well and the club win the league by 50 points....... But you can't blame any supporter for having concern. At the outlook shown by the club at the moment. Sell two keepers for 32m, replace them with a freebie trialist and a 500k keeper for example. The signings indicate the club are skint and Short isn't the slightest bit interested. Personally I think it will be a tough season for the club, the squad looks midtable
Which pretty much amounts to straw clutching.

If he was bothered he would tell us what his plan was that he said he would tell us back in AprilOnly the last bit of your post wasn't guesswork

The voices in your head come from aol basecamp through your ear piece
No, it's a totally different thing ...... I know because I posted it and know exactly what I meant.
Why shouldn't they? Every single supporter on here HOPES these players do well, that should really go without saying really. What I'm seeing is people giving their opinions on what they think or believe will be the case with who we've brought in. Really don't get why that's an issue.
Searching for "lazy" and "convenient" examples is pretty much straw clutching. Trying to compare these bargain basement signings to one of the greatest success stories of our recent history is straw clutching. If people get crumbs of comfort from doing so then fine.

'Lazy' and 'convenient' quite obviously denies any 'searching' which clearly takes a bit of effort
