That's kind of what I'm saying. He has been crap for Sunderland but he might do better dropping down a level and playing in a different system. It's just the outpouring of negativity that I take umbridge with, people can't seem to look at player signings objectively.
Agree that it's not...
But if you take the blinkers off and take into account his international record, his record in Holland and the fact that we play against championship teams every week, it doesn't seem like he's so obviously rubbish all of a sudden.
I don't believe this for a sceond because he must be on decent wages at Sunderland........
...but anyone who thinks this wouldn't be a good signing is living in cloud-cuckoo land.
