holmesfield_owl Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Personally think it's a bit of a shame BUT I've got so much faith in DR that it doesn't worry me in the slightest. Actually feel good that we are running the club as a business properly, or as near as you can in football anyway. Well done DC. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAL Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 (edited) If we already had an excellent squad, and had the money to gamble on a player like him for a season, then yes we could have definitely hit the jackpot. We don't have either of those yet, so too much of a gamble... But I do like having a player like him in the squad, he puts teams on the back foot a lot of the time. Another but, is that I think he will be given more of a fee role at Sunderland, without having to do as much off the ball work he would have to here, so went for the easy life, so may have a lot more playing time for them.

Which shows the type of players we are now signing. As I said earlier, I am expecting Poveda to play a lot more this season, simply because Sunderland will let him do what he wants, I could be wrong in that, but he seems to be the type that is happy when he can just basically show off.

KrolMong Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Given what we have signed already, Poveda becomes less of a necessity. I’d like us to get the striker and the middle of the pitch sorted first. Then look at forward players, but under the provisor that we move some on (BTC on loan, Wilkes and Smith on perms). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know anything about about Chalobah and his game play pal, but... If Chalobah is taking care of him, which i hope he does, that means there is going to be gaps galore when he is dragged all over the park, so the rest of their players can utilise all the space. Unless he is good enough to know what is what, then all is good. I hope you're right, usually are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe it’s led by his decision to go elsewhere, but the more I think about it the larger the question mark around him is. He’s 24 and could theoretically double his career league starts next season. Quality player, but something isn’t right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Owling_Wolf Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Good luck to the lad, except against us, naturally. A special player and looked a bit of a character. Seems like he's struggled to play in his career so far. I don't blame him for taking the best contract his agent can get him. It can be a short career. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lobster Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 I think we dodged a bullit with Poveda . His Sunderland interview tells all ,he doesn't want to be there . So why take it you ask The answer came from the Blackpool Blog , When he signed for Leeds the negotiations were fraught with Difficulty not only with his agent but he also has very greedy parents ,they would regularly have shouting matches and storm out the room .

The other possibility is that he knows that his body struggles to handle professional football and whilst his stock is high he has a chance to set himself up financially for life.

TheExile Posted July 25 Share Posted July 25 (edited) I think his agent is possibly the one that controls his moves where I think others in the team are more mature. Poveda has some incredible clubs on his cv that his agent can point to as reasoning but his career hasn’t fully kicked in yet at 24. Nonetheless Sunderland have given him a platform where we wouldn’t or couldn’t. He did look quite subdued talking about his move when compared to the beaming smile talking about playing for rohl in January. He should have just told his agent to do one and gone where he would be happy during a key season for him if that was what he wanted. I am glad we didn’t go beyond a structure that we have in place as it shows an element of progress Edited July 25 by TheExile 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
