The Q wasnt asked , but we can assume that as was already stated ,
Had the kid been fit he would be on loan in league 1 not league 2.

His injury put paid to that & as Ross has known the kid for a few years
Its a no risk loan , when he is fit we get him .
Seems to be a 1/3 of wages for us getting a kid on loan as was discussed with the
Dean Smith question.

Not sure I believe that considering he had a couple of unsuccessful loan spells at league one clubs already.

Harsh on Sterling that, considering his loan with Doncaster was cut short back in September because of the injury he's currently recovering from.

My concerns are around:

- Talking up the sale of Happe instead of playing it down (just as Porter was doing the other day). It's as if we want to flog him off for a few quid.

- Touched on strengthening pretty much every position - centre half, full backs, DCM (hopefully Cisse), strikers and wingers. The only ones he didn't mention were Goalkeeper, understandably, and attacking CMs. Clay and Wright have jobs for life. Bonkers. Proper LOL'd at the bloke there who said Wright reminded him of Ray Wilkins.

- Said won't play 4-4-2 because Wright and Clay there leaves us exposed. (Yet doesn't want to strengthen there, would rather just change formation to accomodate them).

- Massively hyped up Ling and the negotiating he's doing (despite the fact that we've got so many players who still haven't been able to finalise negotiations with).

- Blaming the fans for making the players edgy when trying to play the ball out from the back. Blaming the pitch for not being good enough to play the ball out from the back. (No mention of our inadequate CMs hiding as the reason we can't play the ball out from the back).

Like Bonne and Koroma last summer, we're going to have to accept that Happe is almost certain to go this summer to a bigger club.

Probably our best player this season IMO and only 21 and will get better. Not many 6'5 left footed centre halfs who can play out from the back knocking around.

Things may or may not work out for him as manager here, but I can't believe how many are so keen to see him fail

That question wasn't asked, sadly. But I agree, we can't be. That would be ridiculous.

Didn’t know about the donny injury but from what I’ve read the only reason he only had 8 apps is because he wasnt deemed good enough to get in the Sunderland team.

Kid might be fantastic, but I’d still rather have a fit CM instead.

Just because people disagree with you doesn't mean you have to be disrespectful towards them

Is it disrespectful to talk about a q&a that lasts an hour + then to talk about the last 10 minutes only
When part of that 10 miutes had been sort of discussed in the other parts of the q& a ?

I think you would be disresprected if somone described you , after knowing you a few days
But telling people what you were like , without knowing you you're whole life.

Similar sort of principal really.

Judging by some of these comments above, Embleford seems highly deluded - in terms of his tactical expertise, Ling, and the role played by our fans in encouraging the team.

Doesn't Embleford realise OR CREDIT the tremendous support from the fans attendance-wise at a time when whilst he is serving up the unmitigated negative tripe he calls football?? Clearly not

Who on earth wants him to fail? What an odd thing to state.

Taxio has a point. You get all medieval when someone has a different view to you.
