Sunderland Kaned

Not necessarily, sometimes there are situations where contracts only have a year or two left - or a player even goes on a free. For example, Zlatan. Big wages yes, but will score something out of nothing and it's what we miss in matches such as Monaco. In any case, wages can be structured in various ways and can be heavily performance related - it can work both ways.

Whether u like it or not, it is the way the game has gone. Eventually we will have to invest a bit more (in one player opposed to 3!) if we want to keep up with all of our rivals and actually win some trophies!

Sometimes that one special player can make the difference...

good point, makes sense.......but we still need another striker, more so that Harry is out for 8 weeks...

 

We need janssen to hit the ground running asap tomorrow with a couple of goals going into the premier league with more confidence..

 

We don't have the resources to compete on the level of the top clubs, in terms of wages or top dollar signings. Beside that, there weren't that many "world class" players available, except maybe for Higuain who went for 90 mil. Now that would just be careless, especially when we have a talent like Kane...who should be able to once get up to that level.

A young squad as ours will be inconsistent, both as a whole as well as individually. Many players don't hit their prime until 25 or so....most of our players are in their early 20s. As fans, we ought to be aware and dare I say; consistent with our support. Sunderland was a tough game, but we were able to get a point from that. All these are learning moments for our team, already we are in a better position compared to last year. I believe that are so many more upside to our squad....other than the injuries, there were no other negatives from the fixture.
