Errr....what?

Wilshere, Sturridge, Walker, Bertrand, McEachran, Butland, Oxlade-Chamberlain.....before I go on, what exactly do you mean by "real talent"? Maybe I don't understand well enough.

Wilshire is in the hospital. And I need to see more of Chamberlain. The rest have little skill/technique.

I'd understand if you told me you've never watched the rest of them play rather than saying they have "little skill/tecnique". No offense but that's quite ignorant, tbh.

I was trying to be polite. I dont think they have ANY technique. English players in general play a physical indimate,kick & run fast football & I see very few English players having good technique.

For example Lampard for a No.10 has poor technique.

lampard is not a number 10

Those players I listed(except Butland who's a GK) have skill and/or technique to their game, including Walker and Bertrand who are fullbacks. I understand the perception of English footballers but most of the promising young English footballers have at least some sort of technique to their game.

Oh and Lampard is not a No.10 mate. Never been.

Roberto Mancini has confirmed that England winger Adam Johnson was left out of Manchester City's squad to face Southampton in order to help him find a new club.

Johnson made it clear earlier this week that he was not happy to sit on the bench at City, and he has been strongly linked with moves away from the club.

Liverpool, Tottenham, Everton and Sunderland are among a host of clubs linked with the 25-year-old.

And Mancini admits he is now ready to let Johnson leave, with reports linking City with a move for Swansea City's Scott Sinclair as a direct replacement.

"Adam is a young guy, he is a good player and he wants to play," said Mancini.

"In these 10 days, if we find a good solution for him and he can go to play, maybe it is better.

"I don't know about a loan. We have two or three situations. We are talking with him about this.

"But if he stays here I don't have a problem."

Can't understand how a team missing wingers and in love with english players like Liverpool didn't go for Adam Johnson. I agree with the OP, he is an underated player.

I think after going wrong with 4 expensive British flops, we're taking a different approach. And the fans are glad, much rather get a 3million Assaidi from Eredivisie than any British player.

Yeh I hope Liverpool stop with the British players. There's probably cheaper bargains available in other countries.

Splashing 10mil on Adam Johnson

Could do a lot worse.

Official! http://www.goal.com/en/news/8/main/2012/08/24/3328841/official-adam-johnson-joins-sunderland

The 25-year-old has signed a four-year deal with the Mackems, and becomes the club's second signing on Friday following the acquisition of Steven Fletcher from Wolves.

Manager Martin O'Neill told the club's official website: “Adding quality players to the squad has been our main aim this summer and Adam certainly fits that bill.

“He has terrific ability, great delivery and I'm sure he is a player who will excite our fans. I couldn't be more delighted to have him at the football club.”

Johnson joined City in 2010 after several eye-catching performances for Middlesbrough following his graduation from the club's youth setup.

However, he failed to maintain a first-team spot throughout his time at the Etihad Stadium, regularly featuring as a substitute during Roberto Mancini's tenure.

The Middlesbrough-born wideman has 11 senior England caps but did not make Roy Hodgson's squad for Euro 2012 this summer.

Really good pickup by Sunderland, no question.

------------------Fletcher-------------------------
McClean----------Sessegnon-----------Johnson

not bad

I think they'll stay up this year with that.

Kompany: "Looking forward to see you on MOTD"

Sunderland are better than Newcastle

Indeed, i wonder where Larsson will play now if at all

I don't think Fletcher strengthens them much from last season as Bendtner is better IMO.

also ICS i'm not biting

Nice to see the Sunderland fans already see how overrated he is

Please Sunderland sign Downing from us. He's WC. please. please. He can join your already WC Team and provide crosses to your WC striker Fletcher and WC midfielder Sessegnon. He can also be the understudy to your WC captain Clattermole.

Oops

without Sessegnon Sunderland is going to suffer altough he is bad atm

What a terrible footballer... just terrible, can't dribble, can't cross, can't pass. Sunderland were robbed.

The worst player in the league, by far.

GL Jinx will strike soon

As bad as he's been i reckon Sunderland have some worst players tbf.

Zealous wrote:GL Jinx will strike soon

Its no jinx he's always been a inconsistent highlights player and doesn't have it in him to be a starter which is why Mancini always benched him.

The only people who said otherwise are people who didn't consistently watch him and watched MOTD/Youtube videos.
