Jozy Altidore to sign today/tomorrow

[lizard]

Altidore has been toilet in the prem, if we do sign him I hope it turns out that it was because he was in a shit team and not just because he is shit!
They only have Wickham, Fletcher and Graham though, so do they really want to let a striker (No matter how bad) leave? Unless they get someone decent in Gus will be up to his old tricks again and we can look forward to playing them in the league next year. (If we stay up, which we will.)
If he comes hopefully he is a beast in the championship and just not cut out for the prem.
At least it's not Graham.
Alternatively could we swap COG or CMS for Wickham?!

Im not sure we really need a compulsive Stepoverer at the moment tbh , looking at these cctv images of him buying a pint of milk in a local shop he is far better off oopt north where they seem to like that kinda thing .

Nearly pissed myself with laughter watching that

ive watched him play many many times, ive read the sunderland forums at length last season, where to a man bar the odd game the concensus is not very good at all..... I'm capable of forming my own opinion based on what ive witnessed watching him play and what others have also witnessed week in/out, and and stand by it. What credibility do you speak of Diego, its a game of opinions?

I'll leave you with a few sunderland fans comments all made in the last 7 days, there are loads more from the last week and 1000's more from last season where he got 1 goal in 30 (how is the credibility of these fans who watch him every week?)

Altidore is ****ing dog shit mind. I don't know what's worse, his football ability or the posters on here who reckon he will come good and be an asset to the team. On the basis of VFM he must the worst signing in SAFC history. Just watch him in any game, I honestly believe that I am a better footballer than Jozy Altidore. I'd love to know what the other players think of him, I bet they wonder how he ever became a professional. Also, I think Graham is the better footballer who I think would have contributed at the very least a few goals if he had played the same amount of games as Altidore did last season. I'm bitter about paying for a season ticket to end up watching Altidore. Nothing against the bloke on a personal level but I guarantee he is the worst player I've seen playing live for SAFC. He wouldn't get a game for the Dog & Duck.

Not a chance, HE'LL come good. He is a plank.

Give over, he's never a premiership player. Seems a decent bloke & doesn't deserve personal criticism but he'd look out of his depth in the championship

a 3 legged donkey would have a better chance

I so wish you were right, but he's total crap. I hope he makes me eat my words (but he won't).

Altidore is absolute shite and will never come good in the premier league. When he was finally dropped we started winning games again. If we sell Wickham then we'll be looking at Altidore as 2nd choice, would be gutted. He genuinely makes going to the match painful to watch

Waste of a post - The difference between the Prem and the Championship is vast. So Sunderland comments are not worth thinking about. He performed well at a similar level in Holland, so worth a punt in my opinion.

Maybe you and [MENTION=16359]JBizzle[/MENTION] are smoking the same stuff...

Quite possibly! I think I know what it was... I heard an interview with a US journalist who basically said their WC was over when he got injured as they rate him so highly in the US of A.

 

[rcf0712]

Depends on the price tag to me, season long loan or a couple of million tops and I'd say take a chance on him - from what I've seen he's very hard to shake of the ball, quite a unit....

 

[rcf0712]

Er, but surely...

He's at his happiest Gus has seen him 'cos he's about to join us!

 

[Hyperion]

This whole thread seems to be based on bull****

I maybe wrong but this absolutely nothing to back this up

 

[OSRGull]

OP knows nothing. Altidore has just got back from injury, he gets quite a lot of game time for Sunderland, he's not going to sign for us.

The new Obika.

Absolute gash

 

[martin tyler]

Is there any information that he may actually join. Seems the original OP plucked a name of a player out of thin air and 12 pages later the debate continues.

Exactly. Weird that some random posters get scorned and ignored for doing this and others get a 12 page knicker wetting debate

 

[British Bulldog]

I'm not quite sure what's the daftest? the OP for claiming it? people believing it or people thinking he wouldn't be good enough?

I think you are deluding yourself of just where we sit in the grand order of English football if you don't think he'd be good enough, that he'd join us does seem somewhat far fetched though.

The debate erupted not through any belief in him joining us, more that certain posters suggested he wouldn't be good enough. Regardless of the rumour, a worthy footballing debate I think. Talking about other players is half the fun isn't it?

 

[casbom]

Does that mean that the OP will get a ban if he doesn't sign today?

It's still drivel. It's still odd that it is worth debating

For some reason they nearly always start don't shoot the messenger, I am only passing this on but... and as soon as someone calls them out, they throw a major strop. the Op has got 12 pages, because he threw this one in and stood back and watched the ripples.

Normally these rumours are irritating because they are so obviously a cry of look at me.

 

[Surrey_Albion]

Does that mean that the OP will get a ban if he doesn't sign today?

Does it also mean in 24 hours the op will add "tomorrow/maybe the next day/soon/one day" to the thread title?

Get a grip.

Drivel is the very life blood of NSC.

that is proper funny! Couldn't agree more with Wombat - good luck with your non-drivel NSC usage!
