£2.5 million well spent.

I said it at the time, and I will say it again, EHD was an absolute bargain. Admittedly hasn't played every game but has been more than excellent in the ones he has played in. Superb on Saturday.

Hope you lot find your form soon. The more Northern clubs doing well, the better.

He's a good player, and probably has the guile we are missing (which is stupid because obviously we're missing him because he's not here, so...ah heck).

I would take that with a pinch of salt though. The lad's got a loose tongue in more ways than one, just hope Keano can beat the brat out of him. Any word on that TPFKA?

[ThePosterFormerlyKnownAs]

Doesn't seem to cause trouble, unless he is being quiet to remain on the fans' good side early in his career here. There was talk of a training ground falling out because he missed the two games before the N******e match, but RK said that he was feeling fatigued and stressed after playing for Senegal and the subsequent riots that went with it.

He's been spotted in and around Sunderland on a night out, and I would only hope that he is keeping this sort of behaviour to Saturday nights if we play on the Saturday.

We haven't seen his penchant for winding up opponents yet, though.

I'd easily have him back, just for some kind of creativity!

[Lord Kangana]

He was a disinterested pain in the arse towards the end, but at least he was a talented, disinterested pain in the arse. Clueless journeymen in a tactically inept system aren't a remedy for those failings.

what's the point in looking back at what we had, we need to focus on we need to do to get ourselves out of this mess

[officer_dibble]

Fair play

Notice he hasn't scored yet Nov 29th is looming....

[palexjones]

When he arrived I had great expectations, as the seasons wore on the expectations evaporated, he was never consistant, add to that his baggage, mouth and behaviour I was not sad to see him go and he aint ripping up tree's now. I do not believe we would be any better if he had stayed. Sometimes he was very entertaining but not often enough for his football. In the end he was very frustrating. He gone and he wanted to go but I do not reckon he is where he wanted to be.
Move on, we need what we have got to get thier collective act together
2.5 mil then has become 4-5 mil now, times moved on prices have shot up IMO.

Give yer head a shake man.. one missed pass and its fall out time? Cisse wouldnt pass to Pele when he's in the mood he was in on saturday. Watch the Cisse/Jones partnership after 2-3 weeks in full training.... be afraid, be very afraid, i would be, those two are fearsome men and move at freaky speed.

James is a big old hard unit as well mind, not many defenders as solid as him, or who would be allowed to take the same type of shape in a challenge. kenwynne is also about a stone bigger after the gym work during his lay off but just as quick.

David James is a kernt.

Jones, for all the clamour, won't terrify defences until the new year when he is truely sharp. Lightening fast over a short period and incredibly strong. He isn't the selfish striker like Cissé and will do the donkey work. I'm looking forward to seeing them in tandem in the later part of the season.

Diouf and Cissé haven't played together that much, more fleeting appearances by one or the other. The Forest game in t'cup was a fine example of how they can work together though. Both outstanding then.

Jones played very well against us last year - keep him fit and Cisse's leg intact and you be reet.

Rather have Jussi than Gordon in net to be honest.

Agree there, for the moment. Jussi is the better keeper NOW, but when we look back in a few years - say when both have played x amount of games in the top flight - and compare the two, I think most would say Gordon was the better keeper. Both are great shot stoppers and worthy of a place in any side and I'd be happy with either/or.

[Lord Kangana]

When he's managed 8th, 6th, 8th, 7th, a cup final, sojourns into Europe...then I'll look back and say he's as good

Without doubt my friend, thats why we tried to buy him 2 seasons back. I still feel Gordon is a liability. Cisse is amazing , despite the two horrible breaks he has not lost bottle, him and kenny are going to be awsome, cisse is just what kenwynne needs to learn from, couldnt be a better role model.

Diouf has a big part to play in our squad, will get loads of games , maybe some as sub but he will remain a big part of things.

Aye, gordon has age on his side. Jussi's early thirties so I'd say has another 3 or 4 years as a top class goalie.

To be honest, you could donate entire forums to some of the saves Jaaskelainen has made.
