So basically since the mid 80s, Shearer.

Cole for a couple of years before he reached the heights with Man U and Ferdinand for a season. The latter two a quarter of a century ago
I saw the same list as that...
Salomón Rondón (18/19), Dwight Gayle (16/17 - 17/18), Papiss Demba Cissé (11/12 - 15/16), Andy Carroll (10/11), Obafemi Martins (06/07 - 08/09), Alan Shearer (96/97 - 05/06), Shola Ameobi (01/02), Les Ferdinand (95/96), Andy Cole (93/94 - 94/95), Mirandinha (88/89), Paul Goddard (86/87 - 87/88), Billy Whitehurst (85/86), George Reilly (84/85 - 85/86), Chris Waddle (84/85), Ian Baird (84/85), Tony Cunningham (84/85), Kevin Keegan (83/84), Micky Burns (76/77 - 77/78), Malcolm Macdonald (71/72 - 75/76), John Tudor (72/73 - 75/76), Stewart Barrowclough (74/75), Wyn Davies (67/68 - 70/71), Keith Dyson (68/69 - 70/71), Albert Bennett (65/66 - 67/68), Thomas Knox (65/66), Ron McGarry (65/66), Dave Hilley (65/66), Keith Kettleborough (65/66), Bill Thompson (65/66), Willie Penman (65/66),

Callum Wilson, born in 1992, based on my oldest boy who has encyclopaedic knowledge of Sunderland since around 2014 (when he was 6/7) then Wilson will remember Shearer onwards....those that followed are hardly boys own heroes stuff! In comparison look at Man Utd's number 9 history:

Romelu Lukaku (17/18 - 18/19), Zlatan Ibrahimovic (16/17), Falcao (14/15), Dimitar Berbatov (08/09 - 12/13), Louis Saha (03/04 - 07/08), Andy Cole (95/96 - 01/02)
 
3 decent enough signings to go alongside Hendrick.

Not setting the world alight, but reasonably solid business. Won’t take them to the Leicester/ Wolves level, but equally will keep them in the Prem

A world away from what they thought they’d be getting this summer mind...

Reminds of Bruce signing the lads for us after we cashed in on Bent.
 
Mags will stay up but they will have plenty of defeats this season a few hammerings and the usual wurld famas mag meltdoooooons :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:
They will keep us up and 2 divisions ahead of you for another year. I’d like to see a full decade of us 2 leagues above you and it could well happen.

The best part of Ashley sanctioning these deals is that it looks like he is definitely a serious seller now as he wants to make sure we stay up and protect his 300m.
 
Wilson has said he's joined because of the famous no. 9 shirt and the film Goal😂

Nah. He's always sanctioned big deals to keep you up in the PL.

Was this in doubt like? It's almost like he tried to sell the club to the Saudis recently. :lol:

SAFC were in the top flight for a decade recently and now we’re shite ... all it took was irreversible damage from a Bruce transfer window and a disinterested owner ...
