Because managers always buy players they don't rate. If you believe that.....Aye, cracking buy from Brucey.
Done the same at Brum made some good signing but was scattergunBruce signed decent players some of the time but was awful at squad building. Scattergun. I think he would have worked well with a DoF? Steve Bruce sides are generally good until they get full of Steve Bruce signings
Just as likely we were name dropped by hos agent to try and publicise the player as is actually being interested.From Aug 22nd 2014
With less than ten days remaining in this frustrating transfer window, Sunderland will be looking to add to their seven additions with the latest player to be linked being Mohamed Salah from Chelsea.
It was the Metro Paper though. What might have been under Poyet.
Never got a chance. Needed a good preseason.Always love threads like this..lots of different opinions on different players, the good and bad etc. how much we paid, how much we got
And then once in a while someone appears who unites us all.
I give you: Jack Rodwell.
Wayne was a better footballer than Gary in schooldays.Aye it was Wayne though.
That is rubbish. Bent made the decision to leave.
Don’t forget maradonna.Imagine in a parallel universe sunderland fans got to watch de bruyne, Salah and zlatan wearing red and white.
Kilgallon said on the Under the Cosh podcast he was signed and before he'd even played a game Bruce told him he wasn't in his plans and to find another club, think that sums up the Bruce era.
To be fair Wickham was one of the highest rated young strikers in England at the time. His potential just didn't progress and we managed to get a good fee back for him. I can remember when he went on that good run of form in one of the great escape seasons and he looked very good but doing it for just half a dozen games is no good.
He saved us that season, no doubt about it.Without him, the Gus bus would almost certainly have been relegated from the PL so 10 million was probably good value.
Think we got our money back which was more shocking. All a false economy based on his couple important goals under Gus' great escapeTen million on Wickham says otherwise
Blast from the past! Just had to wiki him to find out what happened - I thought he was the CB who got stabbed in the legs while playing for us but doesn't seem to be.He went on to massive things did Kilgallon.
It seemed like the signings of that era were all about Congerton and Poyet trying to spite each other, Poyet getting his own way most of the time and getting the lesser player. Congerton was vilified and definitely saddled us with some shite but if memory serves me correctly, we could've had Alderwiereld and Van Dijk at the back. I do wonder where we might have got to if he was given the same remit as Speakman.Poyet also had a hissy fit and demanded we sign Coates instead of Alderweireld who was all but done at the time too.
Aye, he ended up at Villa, Everton and Wolves after us.
Callum Davenport?Think we got our money back which was more shocking. All a false economy based on his couple important goals under Gus' great escape
