Pointless thread alert.....

Stripes black shorts too?

Barcelona SC from Equador by all accounts.

Maybe we have to face it that we are just not that attractive to younger ambitious players who believe they are already the complete article and we do not offer them much in terms of improvement. For some being closer to first team football means less than the pay packet or big club kudos.

Agent touting him around......

I am bored with Le Tissier now on this issue....he needs to stop thinking about living his life in the public glare and expect everyone else to.

Has this one been seen? http://fedenerazzurra.com/2013/01/22/southampton-to-raise-12-million-for-coutinho-inter-giving-in/

A repeat of earlier news? http://sportsbyte.sunderland.ac.uk/?p=26947 Dont know why it's a Sunderland webpage.

make it 2 now!

plenty of possession...need to make it tell with an early goal

Came on last night and changed the game in midfield. Blinding pass to Ibrahimovitch for the Swedes' 2nd goal. Could have been a legend here.

Are we admitting we're all w*nkers?

Dont make me wet myself!

Shaw is supposedly our next sunshine boy who has already been noticed by the top 5 who would turn heads with salary offers. Staying with us is attractive if there is a short progression route to first team football. Put a £6 Mio 20-year old in front of you as well and that doesn't look so good. He can warm benches elsewhere for more.

Luke Shaw would be off then if we sign up a younger LB. Profits to be made?

We're more likely to sign George Best than Leon Best.

The only acceptable alternative would be the original candystripes.

More rumours around suggest this will go http://www.jarrowandhebburngazette.com/sport/transfer_latest_ex_sunderland_star_set_to_leave_stoke_for_southampton_1_4196544

Or Chaplow. Is it me or does no-one else believe that his absence since beginning December is the key reason we are not putting sides under pressure in MF and getting results? He was definitely doing a brilliant job in MF (L/C/R) before he got injured.

Admit I thought we may be lucky to be in the top 6 by the end of October originally, but having seen the opposition I am disappointed we missed points against Derby and Reading. Showed we missed Lallana for the midfield creative spark, Need to look at bringing another in maybe?

We have looked weak down the right with Guly in front of Richardson recently. Seems that most times neither could beat a man or put in a cross. Don't know if Guly feels out of it or not but it doesn't look right its working there IMO.
