I think they may be right with them being linked with players they weren't in for. There's been a lot of that here as well. Agents just trying to make it look like their players are attracting the division's bigger clubs.
Someone suggested to me earlier in the summer that Sunderland don't have much cash, which their business so far would suggest might well be the case. |  | |  |

Weird if that's the case, isn't it? Weren't the Louis-Dreyfus family supposed to be pumping millions in? [Post edited 21 Jul 2021 13:40]

Phil, are we thinking today for Coulsen? |  | | |

"They all do it mate, constantly looking for one up man ship over the biggest team in the league. Macanthony at Peterborough used to always mention us when they signed a player."
I can honestly say that Sunderland are the biggest club in the league that I'm not that worried about. |  |

Yeah, probably some truth in that.
I do find it funny how a lot of fans get over excited about their own signings and by the same token disregard and discredit rivals signings. I don't know how they can objectively look at the business of both clubs this summer and suggest they've signed better players!
They do seem a strange breed - seem to despise Charlie Wyke despite him scoring 31 goals for them last season. I'll be hugely surprised if they sign a better centre forward this summer. |  | | |

Interesting OP there. None of the players we have signed are any better than what we already have (according to the Sunderland fan in the OP) and they are in a market for better players than who we are signing.
Time will tell. |  |

At the bottom of page three is a splendid example of de-portmanteauisation (not the correct description I know, but I like the word I just invented), whereby 'one-upmanship' has become 'one up man ship'. |  |

Some of their fans seem to be trying desperately hard to convince themselves that they aren't moving backwards this season. |  |

I don't think so, later in the week I believe. | | | |

Natural given what they were told during the takeover, I think? | |

I like that as well. We tend to focus on our own clubs though naturally. I didn't know much about most of our signings previously but when they join and you find out a bit more about them, coupled with the inherent optimism (delusion?) of being a football fan then you naturally get excited. For an outsider they probably just see 'oh Ipswich have signed a league 2 goalie' for example. |  | | |
