Sunderland peeps not too impressed

What I've discovered, ever since I started reading some of these teams' message boards, is that English fans are never impressed by anyone. Everyone is shite and not the quality they need at (insert club).

I doh know what English fandom is like in real life, but their message boards are oppressively negative places.

Support your rumor w/some proof!   remember that one, ha ha...Kenwynne will be in top flight just now, only a matter of time

[AB.Trini]

Truly is an accomplishment to see  the TNT players playing in the  'Elite Prima Dona League'  Gives us more reason to hope for a world class team.

On another note imagine as a fan in TNTN yuh supporting  yuh big side and the team going out to sign a whole heap ah jamacians, how yuh go feel? just wondering.

[Rodney]

I await the backlash, but here goes....

I think Sunderland Fans are getting carried away a bit. They been in the Premiership fuh about 4 seconds and they already gettin quite picky. I'm not too sure what standard of player they expect would want to sign for them, but personally Jones is just as good as Chopra and he cost 5m so why not Kenwyne who is a lot more versatile player! Trust the judgement of your manager, he got you from relegation zone to champions in less than ah full season. Ah hate the dismissive talk on yorke also.....considering his role in the team, the man does his job. Many of them seem to see a completely different level performance from him than I do. I agree he hasn't exactly set the world alight there but he has been more consistent than quite a few players in that team.

Yes it's true, I don't support Sunderland (just the Trini's in the team)

Boy, I have learnt to pay no attention to the "fans" on that forum. They seem to come on more to argue than to support. Nothing and no one is good enough. About 90% of them whinge for no reason other than to have something to say. Doh take it personal.

I look to what the manager says and the decisions he makes. Cause clearly if was up to some ah dem fans, Sunderland would be in League 1 this season instead of the EPL.

yep.

Just wait until TnT games come around again. One set of argument and every player is to get cried down because TnT should be beating the USA Mexico and CR regularly.

What is the difference?

We need to get our house in order first.

ROY KEANE could make a £5.5million bid for Southampton hitman Kenwyne Jones.

The Sunderland boss is desperate to add new faces to his squad ahead of the transfer window closing at the end of the month.

And Saints striker Jones, who is always wanted by Derby, could be heading to the Stadium of Light.

Keane refused to confirm his interest but did add that a striker was among his list of priorities.

Asked about Jones, he said: "I don't really want to get into that.

"I have been saying for a few weeks that we need a couple of players - and a striker is one of them.

"Possibly I'd like another defender and of course we have Carlos Edwards injured now.

"We're hoping to get one or two but I would not like to comment on which players it is.

"There are a couple of weeks to go before the transfer window closes and clubs will hope to use that time to get as much as they can for their players

"But we won't get drawn into any auctions."

[mukumsplau]

yea yea yea thaz it roy, surprise we!

[Themanfriday]

Pretty sooon we may have a Trini team in de Prem.  Keane will have his whole forward line full ah Trinis. No defense doh every one knows we suck in that area

[jaden]

Roy Keane has refused to comment on any interest in Kenwyne Jones, while Sunderland winger Carlos Edwards is out for four weeks.


Southampton striker Jones has been linked with a £5million move to Sunderland, having also been tracked by Derby County.

Black Cats boss Keane is hoping to bring in more players before the close of the transfer window, but shied away from admitting an interest in Jones.

"I don't think it's fair to be commenting on players that we haven't been given permission to speak to," said Keane on Sky Sports News.

"I've said for weeks, and I will continue saying it, we are probably looking to add one or two players to the squad and that will continue over the next week or two.

"But I'd rather not comment on certain players at certain clubs because they're still under contract there."


Edwards hamstrung

Keane did confirm that Trinidad & Tobago winger Edwards will miss the next month with the hamstring injury sustained against Birmingham City in midweek.

"It's a big blow for us, Carlos is a big player for us," continued Keane. "He gives us plenty of width and can beat a man.

"Carlos is out for four weeks we expect - that's part of football, other clubs are having injury problems.

"We have other players to come in and hopefully they will do as good a job as Carlos."

George Burley has issued another Hands Off warning after Sunderland reportedly joined Derby in the race to sign Kenwyne Jones.

National newspapers have suggested Roy Keane wants to pip Billy Davies to sign the Trinidad and Tobago striker.
But after balancing the books over the summer, Saints do not need to sell and Burley is determined to hang on to his goalscoring ace.

Burley said: "I want to keep Kenwyne. He came and spoke to me yesterday and I told him I want him to stay.
"With all this speculation it has not been easy for him. Some managers go shooting their mouths off and talk in the press but I don't think that is right.

"Kenwyne is not the finished article but I want to keep him. You can never say never but I am determined to hang on to him.
"It will be totally my decision with Kenwyne. We don't need to sell him. The club is in a good financial position.

"We were able to spend a million on Wayne Thomas because we brought in a million for Pele who was great in midfield but I needed a centre-half and that's how we did it.
"Wayne Thomas will help us and next week I might be able to get another player in to strengthen us and push us on.

"We were not able to keep everyone over the summer but that is the reality with no parachute payment.
"But we are in a healthy position now which is why we can turn down £5.5m for a player."

Steups! Please!  Yuh know by dis time next week Kenwyne posing in ah Sunderland shirt.

BURLEY - NO NEED TO OFFLOAD JONES

Southampton boss George Burley has underlined his determination to hang on to £6million-rated striker Kenwyne Jones.
Saints turned down a reported £5.5million bid from Derby for the Trinidad & Tobago forward, who has also been linked with a move to Sunderland.
Burley told the club's official website: "I want to keep Kenwyne. He came and spoke to me on Thursday, and I told him I wanted him to stay.
"With all this speculation, it has not been easy for him. Some managers go shooting their mouths off and talk in the press, but I don't think that is right.

Without Kenwyne, they ain't getting promoted. So, in the long term, keeping him and getting promoted will be worth much more than £6.0m to the club. So, as much as I want to see the boy in the EPL, I totally understand his coach position.

Cyah say ah happy IF Keene looking to pull another Striker, need or no need, buh let say this rumour pans out, I think he would be looking at the utility ability of Jones, especially as cover for Carlos. Especially wit Carlos catching the injury bug, cause once that starts, it can spread to different areas easily, especially in season. Thus right midfield might be his present position.
Funny though, this is where I was crying for him to get runout  from day 1 for T&T and his move to the UK.
And when Carlos comes back, decent cover for anywhere, especially if yuh cyah get a A1 forward to buy, or current forwards slump.
It's just that price tag, and the item is ah noname brand....might b just as good as the higher priced name brand  items, yet not many ppl buying, so no history, little gaurantee, if yuh will.... Could put any Manager wuk in Jepurdee yes

[superoli]

What Trini woman dealing Roy ?

Some of them lot wouldn't be happy if we signed RVN and won the Premier league this season 

I think most of the time they only do it to be controversial

I think Kenwyne Jones would be a very good signing for us because of his obvious links with Stern, Yorkie and Carlos, Keano is building a TEAM not a squad of individuals and I think signing Kenwyne has a lot of advantages to it, mostly because he would settle into the squad very quickly because he has three familiar faces already there helping him, the downside is, I think Sterns opportunities would become limited within the team, but I'd be happy to have him playing for Sunderland


On another note; it was nice to see the group of TnT fans in the Sunderland end at the Birmingham game, they were sat about 10 - 15 rows in front of me and they went mental when Stern came on  , I didn't see them when he scored because i was too busy going mental myself

very unlikely. Jones is not seen as a utility player in England and he has not been used in any other position other than striker for the last few years for club and country. If Keane buys him, it will be most likely as a forward since Keane will have no idea of his ability to play in any other position. No manager spending over 5 million on a player who just going to fill in wherever, especially when he hasn't been used in any other position than up front for years. Very bad business and I don't see Keane doing it. then again..managers see things that the fans don't. but initially I think he would be looking at him as a forward

that does not make me digruntled atall atall the longer you stay on here you would get my drift

great to hear you all had a great time
and yes some of your points are valid but we TnT peeps would love to see it......

(Exactly ) but initially I think he would be looking at him as a forward (initially, and yet, if he happen to see the boy U17 or even WC tapes -  )
