Shtanley Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Personally I think the long wait is us trying to get him for less. I'd pay quite a lot for him, was a real attacking threat for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ciderbeans Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 Being a lot to the table for us. Prem, champions league and championship experience. International experience. Great at defending and going forward. Can cross a ball and has a good long throw which provides another dimension. There is no question, he is better than what we have at the club already. Anyone who can't see that is blind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
View from the Dolman Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 1 hour ago, Dynamite Red said: How has he only played 9 games in 2 seasons? Last season (15/16) he played for Sunderland for 2 games and us 9 games. The season before (14/15) at Celtic he played 42 games. He joined Sunderland under Advocaat, got injured (ankle ligaments) missed 2 months of the season and then shipped out on loan to us. You're using facts. Please refrain.

I think they're waiting to see if Fat Sam is still going to be their manager. The new manager, if that's what transpires may like Mathews, DA obviously did.

BristolBEAT Posted July 17, 2016 Report Share Posted July 17, 2016 I crossed paths randomly on holiday with a Sunderland fan. He said "how did you get on with Matthewshe" he said: "He was ******* atrocious for us". Happily take him I said. Why is there so much hate for him there. Matthews can't want to be there after being left with under 21s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only league game he played in was the 4-2 defeat at Leicester where he came on at 3-0 to Leicester and actually had a hand in Sunderland's second goal. He then did his ligaments in the League Cup and when he returned Yedlin had made the right back berth his own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Orns Posted July 18, 2016 Report Share Posted July 18, 2016 21 hours ago, cynic said: Sunderland rag running a pretty disrespectful article about the "flop" matthews, calling him and others "deadwood" etc. http://www.sunderlandecho.com/sport/football/sunderland-afc/bristol-city-still-want-flop-2m-sunderland-signing-1-8018628? But the bit that stands out is "However, Bristol City are keen to re-sign the 24-year-old, with Sunderland not standing in their way as they look further lighten the wage bill of those considered surplus to requirements." If that is true, what's the hold up ? Blimey - didn't realise he was only 24, seems to have been around forever A definite upgrade on anything I've seen at right back at City in a long time. If it makes sense for all concerned then I'd be amazed if he isn't here over the next 6 weeks or so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like every area in the UK it has it's nice parts and its not so affluent areas. I used to live in Roker overlooking the marina. If that's the criteria for xxxxhole I was as happy as the proverbial pig in xxxx. Also the Mackems I knew are really nice people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the spirit- yes, let's hope all foreign businesses in UK close down their operations piling unemployment misery on deprived areas that voted leave. Whilst we're at it, let's hope City get relegated so Thatch can finally have his boo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alot of the surrounding areas of Bristol voted leave, myself included. Not to mention much of England voted to leave, the Blue's speak for themselves. Anyway this isnt a political debate. My folks live in the North East and they are some of nicest people I have ever met and Sunderland isnt a crap town, there are good areas and bad, like most places, Bristol included.
