But he's not is he

He played well in about half a dozen games at the start of the season, got an England call up, flopped and then, likre the rest of his teammates, played like Lucas in the 2008-09 season for the rest of the season

How does that equate to be proven in the Premiership?

This is what gets me about the blind faithers - they bang on and on about how great the club is and try and give everything an LFC spin - and yet nine times out of 10 they clearly don't know the facts of the subects they are debating

I see that on this website again, again and again

And you are basing your comments about Henderson on watching how many of Sunderland's games live ???

I'm into football and having Sky at home I end up watching most televised league games

I saw Sunderland play maybe 10 times last season - twice against us - and that's what i noticed

And it waws backed up by what i read in the various newspapers when i didn't see the games

Have you seen many Roma or Juve games James?


That job interview was going so well until I realized I was fukked up on acid in the middle of a cornfield naked and talking to a scarecrow.

Roma no, but I watched most (if not all) of Juve's games on ESPN last season as my flat mate is a lifelong Juventus fan

And Aquilani looked a decent player in what for them is/was a pretty mediocre squad

Like Miereles I wouldn't say he's brilliant - but he's better than either Adam or Henderson

Unlike a lot of people on here I do like to have some basis for my opinions - rather than just assuming the club know best

Problem is though jim, as you probably know serie a is not the quickest or most demanding league in the world and on that basis its a bit unfair to say Aqua would be better than what we have.

That's certainly true, but Alonso wasn't the quickest or most physical of players either, yet he managed to dominate games in the English league due to his intelligence and ability to pick out a pass

Aquilani strikes me as this type of player (obviously he's not Alonso's level) and it seems senseless paying £20m for a player, hardly ever playing him (despite the fact when we did he looked pretty decent) and then sending him out on loan twice

Just can't believe that if he was anywhere near Alonso's level we would be trying to offload him,just wouldn't make any sense.Could it be Aqua himself wanting to leave which would make more sense if he's as good as you think.

I think the most of us are fairly well into football and I'm guessing a large number of us have seen the lad play as often as yourself so I'm going to lump you into the ranks of ill-informed debaters along with the rest of us on this topic and and all others. not sure that using the newspaper reviews as your back-up for your opinion gives them any more credence....

I can agree that people can go over the top with the optimism, but it goes the same with the negative stuff and I have to say I'm pretty sure Kenny and the boys would rather have the over optimistic than those who slate them week in week out. I go into every game thinking the boys can win it and that they will play out of their skins and I hope they have that same mentality when they run out of that tunnel.

When it comes to the new signings I place my trust in Kenny and his team to be bringing us in guys who will give their all for the shirt and hoping like hell they set the league alight next season.
