Dr Gloom 19737 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 yes, but was viana a defensive midfielder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gpirlo68 0 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 We desperately need Colo back, I can't handle watching that Lascelles lad playing while wearing his roller skates anymore, I honestly don't know if I've seen a player slip over as much as he does each match. Titus Lascellas is what we named in pre season against York Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dickie 0 Posted March 22, 2016 Share Posted March 22, 2016 Aye we need Colo back, although he's obviously past his best he still holds the defence better than the alternatives. I also think having him there will help Shelvey get a bit further up the pitch, as he's still excellent at playing it into midfield and attack from the back. I'm not writing off Lascelles yet though - he's still young and seems to have the ingredients to make a good, physically imposing Premier League centre half. Players of his size get better as they get older, provided they don't end up with injury problems. Same can be said for Mitro - it looks like he'll be a target man and, with very few exceptions, they all peak late because experience counts for a lot in that position. Look at the likes of Niall Quinn, Luca Toni, Jan Koller etc - they get better as they pass 30, sometimes dramatically so. That's why Carroll was such a prospect - to be as good as he was in that position at 20/21 really bode well for the future. Unfortunately it looks like he'll never end up the player he might have been, but he still has time. Mitro and Lascelles have all the time in the world if they have the desire.

essembeeofsunderland 811 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 If we do get relegated i expect we will have to sell before we buy.Now knowing Ashley like we do,it will probably mean for example,3 players sold for say £20m and a saving on their wages, and £20m spent on incoming players,including their wages.Obertan,Gouffran,Riviere and Cabella could be regulars next season.Am i correct in saying only Northampton so far have gone form the top tier in english football to the fourth tier in consecutive seasons.

trophyshy 6432 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Lost both our keepers, shit loads of other injuries, makeshift defence, strikers have struggled to score all season. If we stay up it will be the biggest miracle since Sunderland got city status. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12447 Posted March 30, 2016 Share Posted March 30, 2016 Aye it will, I've not been impressed by the (albeit limited) times I've seen Darlow play so I think it dents any chance we had significantly especially as Elliott has been in good form.

Dr Gloom 19737 Posted May 2, 2016 Share Posted May 2, 2016 So what's the consensus now? Stopping up or not? By God we've got a chance now if we carry on playing the way we have lately. But that kind of fairy tale doesn't tend to happen to us. I can see some kind of drama ending in heartbreak on the last day of the season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just glad I was completely wrong about Darlow, the lad has been in fine form in recent weeks. We've been lucky with the goalies stepping up after injuries in that position. I'm still not allowing myself to think we're stopping up, if we win next week and the other two shit munchers lose then a bit of excitement will start creeping in but we're one crappy goalless draw against Villa away from all of this turnaround coming to nowt.

Howay 12447 Posted May 3, 2016 Share Posted May 3, 2016 To be fair Lascelles did look horrific, Rafa has him much more organized and confident even though he still makes some mental mistakes (like the pass straight to that Man City player, he did then recover well though). I'm very happy to be wrong on him though as I think Colocinni is a total fucking cunt and hope he never plays for NUFC again, hoping for him to come back thinking we were fucked without him was an awful feeling tbh. We still really need CB's if we stay up mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
