I’m aware of that but the point being made was that He’d probably be a better option than Pask and Drysdale.
besides the whole hate for this guy stems from him playing for Sunderland.

You have no idea if he is a better option than Pask, Drysdale or even Williams. He has more experience for sure, but that's it. Unless he is being brought in as a starter what's the point of wasting what is likely to be a tight budget on signing him. Young players with promise have to get their opportunity at some point, normally through first team injuries, and blocking those opportunities could prove counter productive to a club like ours that looks to get by through its own means.
The only point I will concede on is if it turns out that we do sign him, then MR's record warrants giving him the benefit of the doubt, which I would then do. At the moment though we haven't signed him, so if I think he looks like a potential crap signing I will say so. Given his performances against us, and that he is not a ball playing centre back, I will be very surprised if MR is interested anyhow, and this smacks me as an agent led story, designed to put his name in manager's minds. By the way my 'hate' for this guy isn't because he plays for Sunderland, I have no time for our bullshit rivalry, but because when I've seen him play he hasn't been very good.
Or Pompey fans after 3-3, or Bristol Rovers fans after 1-1...etcI like the whole 'just watch the Sunderland highlights against us to see how bad he is' (basically referencing the 4-5 game). Imagine what Rotherham fans would think of McFadzean based on the same logic...

Bullshit, so you spent the viewing time taking mental note of Sunderland defenders and low and behold we are linked on the rumour mill with one and you trawl your memory bank to this particular defender as I said bullshit
I think the signing of Flanagan is insurance on the sale of Rose to LeedsIt is going to be a long hard season full stop. And was always bound to be so.
I also wonder that only Rose, of the current back three, has the requisite pace. Hyam wasn't quick even in League 2 (look at the third Yeovil goal in the 2-6).
Robins does like buying lots of centre halves. Flanagan looks like useful back up for a 60 match season.
He was part of the meanest defence in the league conceding 32 goals 2 more than us but played 2 games more so if he joins I’ll give him a fair chance, that’s what decent supporters do.ffs can you read? No he was that bad, he stood out above the others. I suggest you take a look above at the Sunderland fans views of him. I wonder how many times they've seen him play!!

Rose isn’t going anywhere and Flannigan won’t be coming here either he’s crap people must be bored still debating this guy coming in 7 pages of thisRose isn’t going anywhere while he’s injured.
Well if he does I’ll expect you convey that to Mark Robins.Rose isn’t going anywhere and Flannigan won’t be coming here either he’s absolute dog shit people must be bored still debating this guy coming in lol
I don’t need too Robins will also know he’s shitWell if he does I’ll expect you convey that to Mark Robins.
and if you look further, they are saying the same things about their owners as we did about SISU, almost word for word. It looks like the new NOPM movement is alive and kicking up there.ffs can you read? No he was that bad, he stood out above the others.

Wouldn’t it be fun to show new signings the SBT threads made in their honour
I don't think it would bother them that much. If it does then it's probably advisable they find a different career because they should know full well that criticism (warranted or unwarranted) is part and parcel of the game - especially from the fans.

Looks like he'll be interviewed at least.........VACANCY: Part-Time CleanerIf you look at Sunderland’s squad on an individual basis it’s better than ours, we just found an effective system it doesn’t mean all their players are rubbish. To come here he’d likely be taking a drop in wages
Nah I imagine they’d find it funny but I’d like to see the reactions
In my opinion, criticism in the news or forums is to be expected and the players should choose not to read this stuff if they aren't going to like it. Abuse aimed directly at them on twitter or in person is wrong in my eyes.
The Sunderland games this season and last .... what about you?
I normally pay no attention to the opposition we play unless they are notably good or bad. As soon as this link came out I knew who he was though, and it wasn't because he was the new Franco Baresi!!
There'd be an even bigger, angrier thread if we did sign you, tbf.Yeah exactly. I'd find it hilarious if fans were calling me shit after watching me play for one game or in most cases not even once. I think most footballers try to learn to brush it off and see the funny side of it.
