See that Sunderland are looking to offload Adam Matthews and Bristol City are wanting him, Would anyone take him back?

18 Jul 2016 20:31:27
I read he had joined BC permanently. Was always a big fan of him, as a 'full back' I would have him over Lustig. If he's fit then I'd have him back yeah.

18 Jul 2016 20:38:49
Based on his ability I would take him back in a heartbeat. Some people say a player should never go back to a previous club and I think there was something about him wanting go back down south anyway and that's why he left us in the first place. I can't see it happening.

18 Jul 2016 21:47:09
Nah can't defend.

18 Jul 2016 23:11:02
Brilliant on his day but injury prone and has never progressed since he left us.

18 Jul 2016 23:51:51
He has hardly kicked a ball since he left Gordo so I couldn't say if he has progressed under different coaches or not. I'd take him if he was fit. It won't happen though. We have 3rbs on the books as it is.

19 Jul 2016 00:40:59
Take Matthews back any time. With he and Lustig we had real competition for an important slot, and often got the best out of both. Lustig for me was always the natural RB and Matthews more versatile, but Lustig didn't have the best season really.

19 Jul 2016 01:10:57
Agreed. Against better sides with the two of them on the right overlapping I always felt we were stronger.

19 Jul 2016 07:20:28
Him not progressing is down to my other point rglen8 being injured all the time unfortunately that's the case for most the players with pace.

19 Jul 2016 15:52:43
It may seem stupid, but in my opinion Adam Matthews was never the same player after he had his shoulder injury . Prior to that injury he had no problem pushing the ball between two defenders and charging through them for the ball with no concern for his body . He lost that.

18 Jul 2016 17:25:23
Anyone have an idea of the crowd for Wednesday night?

18 Jul 2016 18:29:05
Ye I was wondering about this too.

18 Jul 2016 18:58:11
I've been hearing that it'll be close to full but not heard anything concrete regarding the numbers.

18 Jul 2016 19:00:21
Sell out apparently.

18 Jul 2016 19:30:42
aye cb thel be me big edo wee timbo auld bhoay n prob loads ae other people you comin?
sorry am jist in a daft mood the night eftur reedin the broons eftur takin an eccy?

18 Jul 2016 19:40:13
Would love for it to be a sell out, I know we should win easy but we all thought that for the first leg and the fans are always the 12th man, we need to help the team get through by showing our support.

18 Jul 2016 19:49:53
A sellout would be incredible! Let's get paradise rocking🍀.

18 Jul 2016 21:29:59
Is it not because it's on the season ticket and we have so many season tickets that it's a sell out? It means 15,000 season ticket holders might not show up but nobody can buy their ticket. Hopefully it's not the case and there's a good crowd!

18 Jul 2016 21:43:27
Was just about to say the same as NT. Holiday time just now for many so let's hope there is still a good crowd

Is the rail seating put in place for Wednesday with it being CL.

18 Jul 2016 20:12:01

why you little!

18 Jul 2016 23:04:11
I'm just hoping for a big crowd to strike fear into the away side, anything can happen in these qualifiers and we need to push our team through these games.

19 Jul 2016 00:46:52
I'd hope those that couldn't attend would lend thier cards so others could.

18 Jul 2016 15:51:19
What's everyone's thoughts on signing miroslav klose have read he is a free agent not sure what his wage demands would be but I think he is just what we need upfront in The short term. Would allow us to look at some real quality other positions.

18 Jul 2016 16:07:26
him and ronaldinho would be good for teaching the youngsters even if you only got 60 minutes from them per game

18 Jul 2016 16:28:38
Yeah good shout, he still looks super fit. Even giving him 20 games over the season to keep him fresh. Like Big D said - think what Dembele, and kids like Calvin Miller and Jack Aitcheson would learn off him! I guarantee he's incredibly dedicated and a brilliant pro!

18 Jul 2016 16:49:32
I'd reckon a player like him will finish his career in his home country.

18 Jul 2016 16:56:20
Klose and Ronaldinho? Think you two have been playing too much football manager! No way they would consider moving to Scotland.

18 Jul 2016 16:57:16
Is he about 38 now?, he was, is a great striker, and would be a great addition, but surely he could make a lot more money in usa or china.

18 Jul 2016 19:01:55
Yeah but China and America don't have European football.

18 Jul 2016 19:54:06
I'm surprised at that age sevco haven't snapped him up yet lol.

18 Jul 2016 19:55:18
Aindoh i think over near future a lot more players like ronaldinho will head over to china for final pay day. Can honestly see some shock transfers this season.

18 Jul 2016 21:31:29
Hey guys just a similar taught what about to thomas rosicky. The poor guy has had a lot of injury problems but if he just played the euro games and a coaching role. I know ye have a lot of promising attacking midfielders what a guy to learn from tactally brilliant great attitude and a leader will be sorely missed at the emerates.

19 Jul 2016 00:49:32
I'd personally chip in for Ronaldinho - the most talented football I've seen play the game if not the most prolific. Always remember that shot against chelsea. Said more with his ankle than most can with their whole game. and it wouldn't even matter if he just played a bit part if the likes of liam and ajer and grifiths could pick up some of that magic dust. fairytale, tho it is.

18 Jul 2016 09:26:20
Ed any truth in the Duffy deal including forrest.

{Ed007's Note - Not that I know of.}

18 Jul 2016 13:35:51
Cheers ed.

{Ed007's Note - (yes)

18 Jul 2016 09:40:01
Gonna be a big week,5/ 6 goals on Wed, Shane Duffy, Chris Gunter, Scott Sinclair, and watch out for the left sided winger who might just pop up, betting sites are being touched on James mcClean again,2 Derry Bhoys in one week, only all rumors, but Oh what if.

18 Jul 2016 09:56:31
4 players in a week may be wishful thinking! Think a centre back will be the priority before the next round.

18 Jul 2016 10:31:54
Here's hoping! Although i can't see us singing 2 left sided wingers.

18 Jul 2016 11:27:32
I'd be chuffed with McClean. Gunter would 'do a job'. Duffy and Sinclair, I would have preferred Toure (until Jozo is fit) and Elyounoussi. As a package I'd be quite happy, because they're players we could do with and that's better than the thought of not having them.

18 Jul 2016 11:44:31
* I wouldn't be chuffed with McClean. Bit of a Freudian Slip there.

#jamesmccleanisnotjamesmccarthy.

18 Jul 2016 11:54:53
sinclair and mclean do we need both?

18 Jul 2016 13:51:32
Rather Sinclair, McLean is rubbish

Willing to change my mind on Duffy having seen a few things lately.

18 Jul 2016 16:06:33
Same here with sinclair vs mcclean kev.

Undecided on Duffy. If we're actually in for him that is. He's an alright age. One of the better defenders in the English Championship. He's tough in the tackle and a bit no nonsense which we could do with. But it's just good. Guess I just had my hopes up a bit that's all but I want great, not good.

18 Jul 2016 22:22:30
Elyounoussi has already moved to basel and for a relatively cheap price that we should have been all over. 3 million or so i believe. Mcclean is just an idiot and want him nowhere near the club.
