Well well it seems as if the strikers of Sunderland are beginning to get back there sharpness in front of the goal as they defeated Galway 4-0.
Chopra opened the scoring in the 6th minute
Kieran Richardson added in the 56th minute
David Connolly in the 84th minute
And of Course our own Stern John in the 85th minute.

Roy Keane's reaction to Sunderland's win over Galway United:

Quote

"It was good. We took our chances and it was a nice way to finish off the trip.

"Our form hasn't been too bad, we created chances and we finished them with some good goals - it's always nice to score four goals.

"We've enjoyed the trip but I don't care who you are, when you've got your new club it's always nice to score and that's them [Chopra and Richardson] up and running and they were two very good finishes.

"Dave [Connolly] and Stern [John] got one each as well and it's always nice for the strikers to hit the back of the net.

"There were a few tackles going in, which I don't mind. The players enjoyed it and that's what you come to Ireland for - competitive games. Galway are 20-odd games into their season and they are fit and strong.

"A lot has been asked of the players on this trip, it's been demanding and I think they've represented Sunderland very well.

"We've another match on Saturday then seven days until the Spurs game. We'll analyse it and see who we are going to put out against Spurs.

"There were one or two players who did themselves a favour tonight.

"We need a bit more strength in depth and we're working on that. We are making slow progress. If I'm learning one thing in this game, it is that the deals can drag out.

"A lot of it is out of your hands, it tests your patience but if you want something you have to bide your time. We're hoping we'll have a good season.

"We're back first thing in the morning and the next goal for us is trying to beat Juventus on Saturday."

Keano nets misfit Mido
EXCLUSIVE FOOTBALLSPY
By Martin Lipton 02/08/2007
Daily Mirror

Sunderland boss Roy Keane last night completed a shock £6million swoop for Spurs' Egyptian striker Mido.

Keane's biggest signing yet as a manager will see the 24-year-old hitman move to the North East on a four-year deal.

And Mido's first taste of competitive action in a Black Cats shirt will come against his former White Hart Lane pals when Tottenham visit the Stadium of Light on the opening day of the season.

Mido, pushed down the Spurs pecking order by the arrival of £16m Darren Bent, had been on the verge of a Birmingham move last month.

But the deal hit the rocks over personal terms and interest from Fulham also petered out.

Now, though, Keane has seized the moment and, while the full contract has yet to be agreed, it is understood terms between Sunderland and the player have been ironed out.

Mido is set to pick up £40,000 a week and become the club's seventh summer signing.

The forward, who arrived at Spurs on loan from Roma before completing a £3m deal last summer, scored 19 goals in 56 appearances for Martin Jol's North Londoners.

His move is set to be tied up today and confirmed this afternoon, after a medical which the striker is expected to pass.

It is a major boost for Keane, whose signings include Cardiff striker Michael Chopra, midfielder Kieran Richardson from Old Trafford, Reading's Greg Halford and Dickson Etuhu.

(Taking dis with a grain a salt, we'll see later, check de source)

PantherX · « **Reply #856 on:** August 02, 2007, 03:51:11 AM »

Yeah the mirror is not the most reliable source.

If it is true though Sunderland have a got themselves a temperamental but potentially very good signing on their hands. When he's on his game he is an excellent but you never know which Mido is going to show up (hint: If he's overweight he'll be crap). He does not respond well to rotation and needs to play constantly to get the best out of him.

Roy Keane will have his hands full with this one.

Not for Transfer stories, only when they slur someones character (once per month or so!). In their defence, this pre-season not only the Mirror have had bogus transfer stories. Almost every daily has published at least one.

Mido and Gordon top Cats’ listAug 3 2007

by Stuart Rayner, The Journal

SUNDERLAND are edging closer to signing two of the three players Roy Keane has targeted before the end of the transfer window, but the Black Cats may be struggling to land either in time for tomorrow’s game against Juventus.

Keane wants a goalkeeper, a target man and a left-back and would like them in place by the time his side faces Tottenham Hotspur on August 11.

The Wearsiders have had a bid for striker Mido accepted by Spurs, while they have come to an agreement with Heart of Midlothian over a fee for Craig Gordon – although not over how and when it should be paid.

With talks yet to get under way with Egyptian striker Mido’s representatives, both deals are some way from being completed.

Sunderland have offered £6m for Mido – real name Ahmed Hossam – but the player’s experiences this year should serve as a cautionary tale. Steve Bruce’s Birmingham City thought they had signed the much-travelled star last month only for the move to break down over the size of his sell-on fee.................................................

Physically, Mido is just the kind of striker Keane has been searching for – a tall, strong target man who is good in the air. Stern John played that role in the second half of last season but, although he was top scorer on the club’s pre-season tour of Ireland which ended this week – scoring twice and creating a goal – the number of good chances he missed was alarming.

Long article , check link for the rest.
These critics will not give Stern credit for working to create those chances , in fact he gets little credit for being top scorer. How come he has more chances than the rest of the team?
As Stern says, the goals will follow, if you don't create chances you can't score.

Roy Keane's reaction to Sunderland's draw with Juventus:

"I thought the game was excellent, we're heading in the right direction.

"It's not often you get the chance to play against a team like Juventus.

"It was an opportunity for my players to challenge themselves against some good players and they stood up to it.

"I thought we we did well but the real challenge is next week, against Spurs.

"I'm delighted with all of them. It was a bigger challenge than in the last few weeks and they are happy in the dressing room.

"We just have to focus on the Tottenham match now and we'll be ready.

"Are we equipped for next season? Only time will tell. We have a good squad of players and the fans are right behind us at this moment in time. It's full steam ahead now.

"I'm pleased with the new players. They have done well but we have to give them time to settle.

"We had a flow and even when we conceded the goal, in the last couple of minutes the players showed a great desire to try to win the game.

"That's what you need, you have to have that desire to win football matches.

"Maybe we were unlucky not to have won it at the end but Juventus had plenty of possession and one or two chances themselves. Drawing the game is not the end of the world."

Edwards and Halford are Cats injury worries

By Nick Alexander

Quote

Greg Halford and Carlos Edwards are fighting injuries ahead of Sunderland's Barclays Premier League opener against Tottenham.

Edwards has a hip injury while Halford hurt his hamstring in training yesterday.

Both players are likely to start against Spurs, forming the right side of Sunderland's team, if they are fit.

Boss Roy Keane said: "We hope Carlos will be all right. He joined in training yesterday and we'll gauge it over the next one or two days.

"Greg has a slight hamstring strain so it will be touch and go for him.

"But overall the injury problems are not too bad. I look at the situation at other clubs and I think we've been very lucky.

"The aim in pre-season is not to pick up injuries but it's difficult when you play games. Inevitably one or two players are going to pick up knocks."

With the new season almost upon them, Keane says the excitement is starting to build in the Sunderland camp.

"Spurs is a great game to start with," he said. "There is definitely a feeling of excitement and anticipation around the place.

"We've had a good pre-season and now we have three or four days on the training ground before it all starts."

Sunderland will also be without Grant Leadbitter against Spurs, he has a knee injury that is set to keep him out for two weeks.
