The Cat Posted 1 August, 2023 Share Posted 1 August, 2023 9 goals in 22 for Albirex Niigata FC in Singapore last season. He might be 37 now but can clearly score goals and we love a link with an ex player. Plus he has the experience many fans crave and knows the Championship.

Galway saint Posted 1 August, 2023 Share Posted 1 August, 2023 In the grand scheme of things lee made no material difference to the club and it’s fortunes. players come and go and some are great for the club such as lambert and others sparkle momentarily and score some decent goals but like lee but it doesn’t really make any difference. I couldn’t really care if sulemana stays or goes. It’s a distraction and I’d rather we signed a decent keeper and someone who can score 15 goals a plus a season. At the moment we look the same incoherent club we have for the past few seasons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree but they were after Sulemana in January and we beat them to it so I expect they still hold that interest in him. Everton are skint though, they're selling Gray to fund Chermiti - they've made a fair bit of money this summer though and have got some big earners off the wage bill so we should absolutely not be doing them any favours. Although I can see this happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way Dyche is going to surprise anyone next season is if he wins Miss Teen America.

This is the correct comparison for Sulemana. He may not get there, but he legitimately has the potential to. I'm not sure a dominant, possession-based team is the right fit for him (he could better use his pace in a more open, counter-attacking team) but there's potentially a very, VERY good player in there. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Patches O Houlihan Posted 2 September, 2023 Share Posted 2 September, 2023 I just watched this 4 min pre-Sunderland training vid At the end the players are attacking/defending the goal. Sully's acceleration from a standing start is going to absolutely murder Championship defenders. The nutmeg goal on Bree is beautifully placed (remember Bree was/is a stand out Championship full back) The only player to get near him was KWP and even then you could see how tough it was (And KWP will be probably the best full back in the Championship you would think) Really hope we have him onside and he brings his 'A' game - has potential to light up the PL as well after a season of regular starts with us. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sfc4prem Posted 2 September, 2023 Share Posted 2 September, 2023 He didn't get his opportunity to explore, then! We shall see how professional he is now. If he tears it up, as Tella has shown, there will be interest from PL and abroad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Garrett Posted 2 September, 2023 Share Posted 2 September, 2023 Well, time to get behind him…he’s staying (for now) and if he can get his head right he could be mega for us this season.

SNSUN Posted 2 September, 2023 Share Posted 2 September, 2023 A positive way to look at it is we actively didn't block anyone from moving this window if our valuation was met (Ok bar Che on the last day but we did give him a lot of chances to move previously) - each player had a price and it was up to other teams to meet that price. We didn't block Sulemana from leaving, it's not like we said "you're not going anywhere" in an effort to keep him, it's simply that there obviously wasn't enough interest in him at what we valued him at. Hopefully he plays and plays well and he can go in January with good feelings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VectisSaint Posted 4 September, 2023 Share Posted 4 September, 2023 Wouldn't take it as read that Sulemana is staying, yet. Wilcox stated that there will be a couple more departures yet, with transfer windows elsewhere still being open, obviously Onuachu is the primary candidate but Sully and maybe Djenepo are possibles. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
