transfer

Got a phone call today saying brian howard is to sign for sunderland.

 

I did wonder

...when it became apparent we have already agreed a fee for Grant McCann, who said from the outset that he was out of position wide left and saw himself more as the central playmaker. It set alarm bells ringing that it was paving the way for Howard's departure. So I would not be in the least surprised.

fecking thing!

 

Very Worrying

myself and others have been talking about the possibility of his transfer for a long while. Without him we will be nowhere near as good an attacking force.

 

I might be talking out of turn here

but i think he is a bit too gung ho andcommits himself far too often, leaving us exposed to the counter attack. We seem to concede fewer goals when he's not playing.

 

Good player who would definately be missed. Last year of contract ... if there's a fee and we can't/wont meet any wage demands than best that we take the fee and re-group.

 

RE: I might be talking out of turn here

Although that is a bad point there could be a lot more wrong with a player than being two attacking. I just feel that he orchestrates our attacks and has that touch of skill and class thats lacking in the rest of our team. Would be very sorely missed.

 

You'll not get half a mil for a player out of contract in June Loko ... mebbe 100k if that. I'd love to be wrong on that though!

 

I heard that too at the match on saturday

Just put it to the back of my mind though. Seen as we always hear loads of rumours

 

did we seem less attacking against burnley??

or did we let the forwards and the wingers do their job whilst letting togwell and mccann hold the midfield solid??? pesonally i'd prefer two ball winning players in the middle who play it simple and let the others do the attacking

 

He's going nowhere...

FACT!

 

How do you know that's a fact? nt

 

Sunderland have supposedly bid £1m for Carlos Edwards,

attacking midfielder isn't he?

 

but against burnley in the second half

we resorted to just hitting the long ball over the top because both our central midfield players were sat so deep. We need somebody a between the likes of togwell and the attack so that we can get the ball along the ground because unfortunatly none of our strikers are any good in the air

 

Yup, you usually are!

 

Tha's an arse thee.

 

Why did they call you to tell you

Sunderland or Bri's agent got a random dial facility?
