@daniel_corker @Philip_RJ89 How on earth did he bottle it? He missed a penalty, it was a top save end of.

@past_sunderland Arguably our strongest spell last season was playing 5 at the back. Chelsea away, Arsenal home etc

[Luke Hedley @LukeJH1996]

@UnderTheLight73 @sjl_safc In my opinion in Danso you are signing a player who is probably the most comparable player to Ballard in the league and given his injury record it makes complete sense to bring him in.

[Luke Hedley @LukeJH1996]

@UnderTheLight73 I fully understand how it works 😂 my point is it’s not an absolute requirement at centre half because the players we have in that position are not at their career.

Worth noting as well that Ballard/Nordi both pick up injuries so having a ready made replacement is a better.

@UnderTheLight73 Xhaka is 34 and wanted to leave in the summer….try again

[Luke Hedley @LukeJH1996]

@UnderTheLight73 So this theoretical young centre half has to wait 2 to 3 years to get in the team because we’ve got current players in prime years. That’s not going to work is it?

[Luke Hedley @LukeJH1996]

@UnderTheLight73 It’s not Football manager 😂 they are 4 or 5 years away hypothetically from needing to be replaced. You could even argue that you have your young centre half in Jenson Seelt out on loan and a potential centre half in Methalie.

Nordi did last season when we had two others…

[Luke Hedley @LukeJH1996]

@UnderTheLight73 Nordi is a right back despite him being a very good centre half. 27 is a perfect age for a centre half. No need for succession planning yet because they are all at perfect ages. Ballard/Danso and Alderete/O’Nien looks balanced to me.

[Luke Hedley @LukeJH1996]

@JamesCopley_ As soon as Diarra comes on, Hume’s performance drastically improved. He needs legs around him to play the position.

@DobbySolanoNUFC Be a laugh when it’s in the championship

🔴⚪️ Love this quote from Regis Le Bris in his #SAFC presser this afternoon:

🗣️ “They said we would finish midtable in the Championship, we were promoted. They said we would be relegated by Christmas, we finished seventh. We will keep doing things the Sunderland way...”

🤯 Bafflingly, I’ve already seen so many people write Sunderland off this season. It’s like they haven’t watched the club in the last few years…

[Luke Hedley @LukeJH1996]

@NostalgicNUFC You’ve won one trophy in 57 years and it’s the smallest domestic trophy you can win. And now all of your better players have fucked off. You have no bragging rights on us anymore. Just back to little old delusional Newcastle 👍

@WTFSunlunPod Have you ever seen a mackem in Milan?

@nufcpb Hahahaha class

[Luke Hedley @LukeJH1996]

@BradleyDSharp11 I’ve not been his biggest fan but I don’t find it beneficial to come on social media and call one of our players a cunt after making a mistake. It’s just so reactionary and everything that is wrong with social media.
