Advocaat has brought the 29yr old Ola Toivonen to Sunderland from Stade Rennes. A Swedish tall attacking midfielder/shadow striker, has good link up play and was a real arse on the field for PSV for opponents. Pretty good signing although I haven't seen him alot when he went to France. He's a player not many people in the PL will like for his antics but could give Sunderland some bite. I think Advocaat has made some decent to good signings but so far he's really struggling.

I'll take that bet.
Depends how desperate we get as we approach 1st Sept.
Steven Gerrard
yay. Exciting news!
No, please just no..One of the biggest reasons why I am desperate to keep DDG is that we dont sign this guy..I have seen a lot of average keepers at United before..and strangely they dont stop being average when their playing for us too.
Cillessen is really good with the ball at his feet and is generally a pretty good goalkeeper. Obviously not anywhere close to de gea, but I don't think people will notice him too much because of how solid we are defensively. 5 games in and Romero has hardly been tested, but hasn't exactly filled me with confidence with the ball at his feet. That's where Cillessen would be an improvement (but still a downgrade on de gea... shame he's most likely leaving).
I think we might still buy three players: striker, right-winger and goal-keeper.
Apparently Woody went to Paris today.
Not a bad place to visit for his holidays
The same Graham Hunter who fell for the Ramos brothers games hook line and sinker?
Source?
Saw someone post it on another forum. It's most likely BS. Or he's just gone to see how ADM is
A tad unfair. He has been tested several times for example, when the Brugge player was clear onto goal and Romero forced him wide and smothered a very good goal-scoring chance.
Where did you hear this?
Yeah they have 791k followers without the k, so most likely true.
do you believe in magic ?
Ibra would be fine as a stop gap #9, although Lewandowski would be the dream buy.
Cillessen shouldn't even be considered, we need to look to Germany for our next keeper.

He did well there, but that's why I said hardly... He's had like a handful of saves in 5 games, and apart from the chance which he forced the player wider before he smothered it, none were really a test for him. Not a criticism, just that he hasn't really had much to do.
Wasn't he an ex-United youth team player?
Jermain ?
He'll only play two games: Dippers home and away - just to wind them up.
Smokescreen doesn't seem to be working. Maybe we should try sand attack.
He's gone to burgle ADM and ruin his career in Paris. You don't mess around with Ed without paying for it.
No, woody just needs to be more evasive from the press and co.
He should try double team.
Cavani imo
not this again, we don't need average players anymore.. if we buy anyone may it's top class or top prospect... Cillesen's not even better than Romero..
We should forget a #9 and buy a winger. Just pay for Griezmann.
Maybe he's just gone for a romantic weekend.
Doubt it, that leaves them with just ibra, who has been told he can leave.
This gets my vote. His value is only going to increase from here on end. Can be a cf or a winger.
He hasn't conceded a single goal in four games. What more do you want?
I think it would be unfair to blame Romero for Carrick's own goal.
Everyone seems to know Cillessen very well.
Fine with me - that'll be €14 please, thanks
I'm not blaming him at all? I'm saying he hasn't been tested in 5 games so we don't know how good he is, but when it comes to having the ball at his feet, Cillessen is better.
He hasn't been tested imo, we haven't exactly gone up against the best the prem or europe can offer.
Of course he's been fine so far. I've yet to see how he handles some of the shots de gea was dealing with last year.
