really let us down last time around when we were in the Premier League, and while I'm rather happy with the rest of our business, I am a little concerned we once again appear the be neglecting the middle of the park.
Great to see Luis linked, but we need two, maybe even three robust midfielders in, preferably with Premier League experience-
Azor and Marcelino are options, but we're going to need better than them if we want to stay up and I really do not want to see Jack-bloody-Taylor playing in the Premier League again. |  | | |  |

Wow these types of posts starting before a ball is kicked is amazing. So you're saying if we don't win then the season is a right off? Given you've gone this early to say it's a must win. My days. |
I am saying Sunderland is a game we can get something out of bearing in mind the next games include Man U and Liverpool.
Last time we were woeful, getting 3 points on the board for the first game might be the last 3 points we get until end of October when we play Forest and Hull.
The games are too difficult, 3 weeks out from the first game we don't have a team / squad that can handle this step up, at this time.
Your expectations may differ from mine this time round, last time it felt like a bit of a day out seeing new grounds for years or at all, this time I want them to give it a proper go and stay in the league by hook or by crook, going down is not an option.
That's where I am at with it right now anyway, as always it is different strokes for different folks! |  | | |

“Preferably with Premier League experience”
I keep hearing this line constantly, here, EADT or Blue Monday and it’s a bit annoying.
The Lukic signing would be decent and has played a lot at the level but it will be a 4+ year deal for someone who is about to turn 30 on very high wages. He does make us instantly better of course.
But do we think Leeds’s looked at Stach last year who was 26 and thought, nah, isn’t proven in the PL let’s not bother.
Thats surely the recruitment teams job. We need some better int players unearthed who could be here longer term and find their way to be a good PL player. We seem to be relying on other clubs to do it for us and buy them later. They clearly are out there, clubs have proven it. Even Southampton a level down with the likes of Jander last season. Need some more of this mixed in.
Seems to be ether very young projects abroad or older heads that have played in England. I don’t necessarily hate it but I’d like to see some more players that are of the mid twenties ilk and playing in the top leagues looked at. That’s where Leeds and Sunderland thrived. [Post edited 1 Aug 15:10]

Downied for "Jack-bloody-Taylor" which I think is really unfair.
Agree we need two or even three there though.
We do just have to wait a little bit for the dominoes, cliche though it may be. |
Agree but should be no where near a Prem squad. |  |

Normally I would very much agree with you but after such a disaster of a season in the Premier last time I really think it's imperative to get points on the board early , if not confidence from the fans and the players will soon slip away . For me anyone being realistic can see we are struggling to get our midfield targets. I am now worried as I still live in hope we can establish ourselves as a Premier league team but out seemingly amateur recruitment seems to be letting us down . Seems a very long time ago Ashton told us we are better equipped this time but as yet we are repeating our midfield mistakes. I desperately hope I'm wrong and will be giving the players my full support however difficult it becomes. |
Think disaster is OTT personally. Yes the season fizzled out but there were a lot of what if/fine margin moments that went against us, which could have easily turned our season. Yes it would be nice to get off to a good start and on paper Sunderland isnt the worst opening game to have, but to think it’s must win feels a bit bonkers tbh | |

I think people don’t like how forthright I was with my disdain for Jack Taylor playing in the Premier League, tbh! |
Really ? Crikey. I’ve seen a lot worse on here than that about players and other posters. To be honest what you said was mild compared to some comments I’ve seen over the years on here. |  | | |

down arrows mean you disagree with some part of the post, not that you think it's the worst thing ever written (as libero seems to understand)!
no need to sensationalise everything | |
