relegation fodder?

[NICKY]

He has played in the con fed cup this year you asked if sunderland had singed a international the answer is yes. And its alot harder to get in the italy first than france at the min

he didn't play much last season for his club so might need a little longer than most to settle in imo

76 games in the past 3 years.

played 17 times for his club last season!!!

I never asked if the mackems had signed an international?

as you are so reluctant to talk about your new "star" let me enlighten you

235 league appearances since 2004 season, only 76 ish in the top league (serie A)

14 apps for Italy, first one last year in euro 2012.

not exactly a household name, in any stretch of the imagination.

Did i mention star???? Nope just replying to you asking about decent level playing and so on have you got gomis yet?no just priced agreed already turned down ovwr 7 million for him

ok, just totally ignore what I say then?

I never said we had signed gomis?

you are banging on about these players that the mackems have signed, yet they are all the dregs that other teams no longer want/need, and you don't seem able or capable of backing your arguments up?

I think not !!!!
And his record was very similar to jozy altidore

Only time will tell

I'm looking forward to the new season. I watched the Tottenham game where we thrashed them 3-1, the longer the game went on Sunderland would of scored more and more.
Di-Canio has the players fitness levels excellent, they look sharp and up for it. I liked the look of Cabral a free signing box to box midfielder who can pass and took his goal like a striker.
The attacking formation of Johnson, Giacherinini with Sess and Altidore. Not to mention the return of Fletcher.
Wes Brown will be like a new signing if he stays fit.

Cattermole, Bardsley, Bramble, Kilgallon, Elmo will not be missed.
Mignolet wanted away and Liverpool got the better deal IMO.

Suppose we'd have been better off finishing just above the relegation zone and signing absolutely nobody like

Remind you of anyone?

[safc]

Mackems will be bottom 3 after the first 10 games.

Poor signings, poor manager, poor support.

Poor support?

Thats just silly like, of course we arent as good as the world famous geordie nation but certainly not poor

As for poor management, what would you class pardew, mike ashley and joe kinnear as?

Joe kinnear

[safc]

Geordies can't say nowt about anyone after this man. Even a resurrection when the name went back.

Yas divvent understand man

What a bunch of clowns

[safc]

That will be the light from the championship shining then as the mackems are only heading one way this season.

He came from swindon town, to take the mackems down.

Thats what the geordie nation were singing to us at the last derby game, how did that end?

He came from italy to beat the scum by 3 was being belted out when yous had decided it was time to go and fight horses at final whistle

The poor horsie didnt deserve that ffs

[safc]

and fairplay to hartford for not coming, hes a mackem after all!

best player? you mean demba ba? that was in january, and of course it was a bad move for us, he was our top scorer (and sunderlands joint top scorer for a while) we struggled when ba left, few injuries, uefa football , all too much for a pretty small squad.

Gomis has reportedly signed, proven goal scorer , big & powerful, fingers crossed he does sign and hits the ground running, and we dont lose any one..

5under1and are one of the favourites to go down according to a few bookies, based on past prem league campaigns....least we forget the record low points (15?) total of 05 / 06

Funnily enough , I quite like pdc, hes enthusiastic & passionate, but he is a loose cannon, an unknown quantity.

A grown up debate would be nice now and then, but that would probably rule the majority of the smb's on here out judging by some of the replies.................

roll on the footy season! (and winter fishing on the rocks!)

A grown up debate would be nice, he said

Then goes on to call us something that a 5 year old would find funny

You really couldnt make it up

[NICKY]

someone hit a nerve 5 replies and still going haha relegated more times than you have beat NUFC in the prem ......

[safc]

no, not really, gomis has played at the top level for a number of years, and has played international level, and is still a current international.

can you honestly say that out of all the "dregs" the mackems have bought so far you have actually heard of them, or seen them playing at a decent level?

Giacherrini scored against brazil a few weeks ago, is a regular for italy and played quite a few games for juve

As for gomis, 50 goals in 141 games in the french league isnt all that impressive,Overrated Bafetimbi Gomis Will Disappoint Newcastle Fans | Bleacher Report

Have a read before drowning in your own bull****
