Petrovic


Depressing if we've gone from Petrovic and Bulka to Johnstone.
It doesn’t really fit with everything that has come out so far from more reliable sources, the recruitment team have clearly identified goal keeper as an area we need to make a big improvement in, I can’t see us giving up this early in the transfer window.
 
Sunderland are ready to move for Wolves keeper Sam Johnstone to fight with Anthony Patterson for a game.

The Black Cats have just brought in keeper coach Neil Cutler, as we revealed, and he is a huge fan of experienced Johnstone.

Cutler worked with Johnstone at Aston Villa and Wolves and would welcome a third chance at the Stadium of Light.

Sunderland have been looking for expensive keepers in Europe but may look at a relative bargain with Wolves.

The move may happen as a loan because Johnstone still has a couple of years on a contract at Wolves.

Nixon this morning^^

I'm not being funny like, but the thought of the owner, manager and recruitment team saying "sod a keeper like or Bulka or Petrovic - the goalkeeping coach is recommending a bloke he worked with who can't get a game for Wolves" is kinda nuts.

:eek: :eek:

Sounds like lazy journalism
 
Johnstone is absolutely shite. If our new goalkeeping coach rates him...then I'm worried :lol:

I reckon it's more like "that goalkeeper at Wolves has been made available by them, who has a tenuous personal link with him that will let me throw out a spurious link to keep the SM engagement up"?

:lol:
Well Neom is more of a half built concept in the middle of nowhere. Whole team/town/transfer is weird

Yeah but the PIF ownership and petrodollars are real enough mate.

True- amazing that he’d agree to spend 5 years in a Bedouin tent round the back of a construction site. Power of cash for you

Absolutely, he'll live in isolation an air conditioned villa in a compound surrounded by servants hundreds of miles from the "city" and "supporters" he represents.

But as you say he can count his money so it's all good.
