Keep the Faith Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Swansea isn’t so bad. The area around the marina is quiet nice, the beach is serviceable and the Gower is just around the corner. Obviously it’s no Bristol!

formerly known as ivan Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 Here’s hoping he goes to Swansea and we get someone decent enough to replace Semenyo! I get £9m needs to balance the books but a chunk of that needs to be reinvested in the playing squad. How has it come to us looking at Luton’s fringe players ffs! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But we are getting a decent windfall, surely a million of that is for reinvestment. Cant wait to sell Scott for £25m in the summer and sign Lansbury as his replacement! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They need to balance the books, sort out FFP and then move forward. It will be a bit easier in the summer but not great. Were building the club now, painful, but it will be fruitful in the long term.. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Semenyo signing for them more to do with playing in the championship next season. He isn’t a player going to save them from relegation. But it’s a step up for him and a learning. The fact people are happy with Cornick coming in as his replacement really does show where we are at currently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No argument with that,it is exactly where we are,we are up sheet creak without a paddle regarding finances,if people think we are going to blast away 2-3 million then they don’t understand 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rudolf Hucker Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 1 hour ago, GrahamC said: Phillips scored their goal, Welch saved a penalty from him & about 5 others that should have gone in. Remember the novelty at the time of being on Sky & pretty sure @77 punk and I went on a post match drinking session to celebrate.. A then colleague and good friend of mine is a Sunderland season ticket holder and invited me to the match because I happened to be in the NE. I sat next to him on halfway surrounded by Macams. Phillips’ pen was saved then Anderson thumped home a screamer. On both occasions I barely moved a muscle but when I got back to the car, I sat in the car park, windows and doors tightly closed, shouting my ‘kin head off! What a good night! 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a rubbish season ultimately but it had such great potential. I still remember it with fondness for some bizarre reason. Loads of foreigners signed - I really thought we were gonna make it! That was my first season. I recall a Gate Post in that game v Wolves. Basically said exciting future, lots of new overseas playees and a coach, new ground at Hengrove Park etc. PL status the aim. Despite scoring first we proceeded to lose 6-1 at home, at home, v managerless Wolves! What a start for Benny that 1st month was, Tora disaster albeit disaster mainly in opening 2 games.

In Sam Bell and Tommy Conway we have our ‘up and coming’ replacements. As you said no need to be buying other peoples young talent when we have our own.

It looks like Nige is going towards a 433 in the longterm so we don't really need to bring in a striker as a replacement. We need someone who can play on the left cos we are lacking in that area. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocking Red Cyril Posted January 27, 2023 Report Share Posted January 27, 2023 17 hours ago, Mr Popodopolous said: Or for some games, you could go Sykes wide right, Weimann in the middle and Cornick on the left, there are options- it can be flexible and fluid. Not saying Wells must be jettisoned or anything but the system or personnel can be tweaked a bit bit with the same basic framework. I thought had not long back signed a new reduced contract 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
