The hand of RO'D Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 I have no doubt Mathews will be at the club come the start of the season. As previously stated he's not needed at Sunderland, wants to be closer to South Wales and is familiar with the club. Permanent or loan I can see him in a city shirt against Wigan. Not panicking about this one he'd be another terrific signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think LJ and MA can happily go for a pint tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indeed it's been a terrific & exciting week a complete contrast to this time last year. I think LJ & MA deserve a pint from all of us for getting Tomlin across the line Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bs4Red Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 I started a thread about the Ayling bashers last week and people said there wasn't any. Personally think he is a very very good player and at the start of the season, one of our best. Anybody that thinks Mark Little is anywhere near Ayling must be wowed by littles heavy touches and how much he runs. Ayling streaks ahead, was forced to play as a centre half for majority of last two seasons when he is a right back. Would think he would certainly compete with Matthews.

Davefevs Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 I like all 3 of them. They all have their merits. In a back 4, Matthews is no1 for me though. i won't diss either Ayling or Little, both have their pluses and minuses. People on here are way too critical....we need a squad, we need cover. Just because a player isn't first choice, doesn't mean he's much behind the first choice, or can do a job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephenkibby. Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 Ayling looks to me like a Johnson type player. comfortable on the ball,good first touch. Those saying he can't play fullback have a chat with Yeovil fans (I know their views are somewhat poor as they are lower league) Would love Matthews in but Luke as his back up seems sense to me. Ayling will start the first game of the season (if fit) in the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Robin Posted July 8, 2016 Report Share Posted July 8, 2016 5 hours ago, Rocky said: I can confirm it, from Italian sources ( http://www.fcinternews.it/ ) As an Inter Milan (& Bristol City) supporter, I'm disgusted by that shameful club called Sunderland. ,They refused to pay Inter for the selling of Ricky Alvarez, finding excuses about injuries, etc ...and now this case is on Fifa's hands. Inter gave Sunderland a second chance with Santon...but it seems that they have something against the Nerazzurri. Well, I hope their refusal to sign Santon will not influence Bristol City's possibilities to sign Matthews. Then, if Sunderland will be relegated next season...surely I won't be sorry.. Ciao! .

Kid in the Riot Posted July 9, 2016 Report Share Posted July 9, 2016 Have heard deal is off as S'land not willing to sell in light of Santon talks breaking down. Things could change I guess but for the time being don't think this is going anywhere. Maybe a loan option later in summer? Or we should move on to next perm target.

What i don't get is Sunderland obviously don't want him but won't let him go as they have n't got a third or fourth choice back up to replace him. It does n't seem logical. Surely with all their Prem money it should be easy for them to sign a player to fit the bill. How about a sneaky bid for Billy Jones ? ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both struggled with injuries last season, let them get full pre season training under their belts and see how they look then. Don't get me wrong Mathew's is a good player and could be considered a step up, but if it didn't happen I'd be happy with fit again Little and Ayling fighting for the right back position.

And possibly a GK too. We get all of those players and we are aiming high! I still think it will happen though, I think we have at least two lined up on loan in a Striker and a CB from the prem, that leaves a GK, RB, CB and RM. Absolutely doable mate and I reckon before the season starts. Remain positive Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do too, I know a certain Mr Baker and he would love to come back if Villa don't want him for regular first team football. He loved it with us. He was glowing talking to me about it to be fair. He reckons Matthews wants back too if the deal can be done. It's down to Sunderland finding a replacement but I cannot see a situation where they don't. They don't want Matthews and it would shock me if a prem side cannot find a new RB to suit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

red mist Posted July 10, 2016 Report Share Posted July 10, 2016 Ayling, Vyner and Little, in that order would be my preference, do we need to spend a lot of money on a right back.lets use the cash on a good ball playing centre half, perhaps we could go back for the Hull defender again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
