Well you could comment, seeing as you’re a member of our forum!I think we've improved slightly, especially if Willis signs. Conor McLaughlin got in the team of the year last time he was at this level so he should be an improvement at full-back where we were forced to play a central midfielder for large parts of 2018/19.
I'm glad Cattermole is gone, you can't justify paying someone £30-40k per week at this level. The signing of McLaughlin should free up O'Nien to play in his natural position of central midfield and we've got some good young players coming through who can play there.
Plus there are still a few weeks for us to make some more additions. I'm quite relaxed tbf.
Regarding your squad I couldn't possibly comment as I'm not clued up about who you have signed / sold / released.

At last something reasonable I can respond to.
Willis is definitely an improvement on what we currently have, as you would have seen in the 5-4 game our central defenders are woefully inadequate even at this level. I was concerned last summer when we signed Baldwin and the Peterborough fans weren't that arsed. As it happens he started okay then went downhill rather rapidly, I'd like to think he will never play for us again but I can't see who'd take him off us. Thankfully the new owners seem to have put a stop to us handing out long term contracts so he should be out the door in a year or so.
Regarding Burge I'd like to think he will be backup to McLaughlin who is one of the more capable goalkeepers in this division, if it wasn't for him we'd wouldn't even have finished in the play offs such were the depths Baldwin and Flanagan plunged to last season.
Any sign of you getting Enobakhare? He was class from what I seen last season.
He has a recurring and I believe chronic knee injury. Hence why if we went through busy periods of matches he had to miss one. He was managed well like I lot of players have been over the years. Doesn't mean he is injury prone. Injury prone suggests he gets an injury every week, and doesn't make it onto the pitch, when we all know he does.
I don't disagree, i just think hes no longer our player so i'm not really fussed where he goes.
I'd wind your neck in if I were you lad. Your city contains absolute bilge like Willenhall and Hillfields.
Always find it funny when people from a working class city try and get all high and mighty. :yawn:
Add 'a sense of humour' to the list of things people from Sunderland are lacking.
Above or below basic hygiene and incest laws?

What's the story in regards to your finances and the takeover? Seen a few mentions of these on your forum but never read through the topicsAny sign of you getting Enobakhare? He was class from what I seen last season.

The takeover looked pretty close but appears to have had a hold-up and now it's off. It shouldn't affect us this season as financially we don't need it until/if we get back up into the Championship. We're not skint, but unfortunately, the League One FFP rules have come into effect now for us (relegated teams get a years grace), and with the club paying 46k a week to Oviedo, 40k a week to Cattermole (who's obviously gone now), it's turned into a balancing act to keep within the allowed income/outcome threshold. Just one of those difficult things to deal with for being shit for the last few years, I guess.What's the story in regards to your finances and the takeover?

No idea. Just think it’s funny that managers think he’s worthy of a contract at a club like Sunderland. And you lot think he’s no better than non league

As far as I know there are no plans for more investment at this stage.
There are some right dribblers on that forum who don’t want to give the current owners a chance even though they’ve basically turned a complete financial basket case of a club around in the space of a year.
They’ve put the club on really sound financial footing, which is what was needed after years of excess under Ellis Short.
For some reason there are people on that forum who expect us to be chucking money about like there’s no tomorrow whilst we are in League 1, they don’t seem to want to acknowledge that is what got us into such a mess in the first place.
Does he own a owl?That bloke is 6'5 mate.
46k to a player in League one? That's insane.The takeover looked pretty close but appears to have had a hold-up and now it's off.

Looks like Willis is being announced tomorrow - glad we might actually have a capable defender in the side next season.
Never did they dream they’d reach the depths that they have.46k to a player in League one? That's insane.
Would have thought there would be clauses for relegation.

I don’t understand. Are you saying there are professional keepers who you don’t think are good enough to play professional football and you decide. HuhRyan Alsop was a premier league goalkeeper - it’s making you sound silly
You’ve got to think soWould he be on a lot more money with Sunderland?

Excuse my ignorance but why are you going through another takeover process? I thought the new lot had come in only a year ago and have done an ok job at stopping the rot.The thing is that is probably what he was getting paid after the relegation clause had come into effect.
The previous regime were absolutely clueless.
I'm interested to know how so many of our supporters know the salary Willis will be on when playing for a club he hasn't even signed with yet that are in the same division as us.
confirmed nowWhere has this all come from anyone? Just rumours off their forum?
Strange one this as I heard Willis was having a medical st Hull City
That bloke is 6'5 marra.
