Well the truth is..we need a back-up CF. And the fact that he can play on the wings is a big bonus.
We were linked with Mrabti for this position. And I don't see why he'd be better than Asoro.
It might all end well. At least it looks like we have a plan. Not just a random mishmash of players who might be mildly famous with no coherency.
Hopefully Ghoddos is next. | |

Absolutely. GP and his team stressed the other night the importance of players being hungry and wanting to play for the club. If they do, they're in, if not they're out. Why some people are moaning about this refreshing change is beyond me. Back the coach! | | | |

Yep I agree with that but how can we achieve that with Jenkins and the Yanks still here?
We have been lied to about the 'next level' .
The only hope for me is that Harry will indeed be a magician and these younger players will fill the gaps of those who want out and those who will be sold to balance the books.
It's a bloody long shot in my book, especially with the bunch of Charlatans at the top still involved.
What we are seeing unfolding is dithering and buying on the cheap as usual. I also think it is unfair to expect young players to immediately step up to the plate.
There are lots of opinions about that the Championship is going to be a cakewalk and our much reduced relegation squad, coupled with a few cheap under 23s, will suffice. I very much doubt this.
No one will be happier than me if Potter turns out to be that person who can achieve success with his hands tied behind his back and the millstone of Jenkins and the Hedge Funders round his neck. | |

A 19 year old who impressed for a bad championship side. Expecting him to have a higher scoring record is pretty crazy considering the team around him. You can't expect strikers to score if they don't have the correct ball and support from the midfielders. And like it has been said, he also played on the wing. Young fast winger who is also a striker is ideal for us right now.
And if Mcburnie plays well for us (or we even manager to keep a player like J.Ayew/Bony) then having his pace on the wing would be ideal for our play! | | | |

Östersunds have received a bid from China for Ghoddos | |

Bottom line though is this is obviously Potter's doing. He likes him having worked with him before, and if we're going to give Potter a chance have to let him bring in the players he thinks will help us. And I assume (hope!) he'll have a few more lined up as well.
I reserve the right to change my mind if Potter's team and this guy is completely shit  | | | |

If we'd been in the Championship last season and had a mass exodus a few of our current u23s might well have 20 games by now.
He may well be a fantastic talent but the main thing making him stand out is that he got an opportunity due to Sunderland's collapse. | | | |
| Joel Asoro on 09:49 - Jul 10 with 3281 views | omarjack |
They can pay him more obviously. But he might not see the appeal. Although championship football is hardly appealing as well.
Hopefully he'll choose well. And be a PL players after this season. (promoted with us I mean, not to seal a move to Cardiff as we sulk in the championship ffs) | |

And he obviously done quite well to make Arsenal and Derby take notice. | |

Where has Potter worked with Asoro before? | |
| |
| Joel Asoro on 10:04 - Jul 10 with 3234 views | Daggyjack |
A very good talent. A good signing to me, very pleased as he is highly thought of.
Previously watched by top clubs including Juventus and Man City and was thought to be leaving Sunderland for a top flight club. | | | |

Sorry, misread article - it says he's *familiar* to Potter having come through the Swedish system. Not quite the same, granted. But sounds like he's aware of what he could bring to us. | | | |

Yea agreed | |

Personally I prefer going for the young hungry players.
Have seen enough of the mercenary type had plenty in recent years.
We have to trust in Potter his methods and his recruitment team.
As regards the next level crap just leave it go Jenkins the hedgefunders as you call them won't be with us for ever.
Don't let them spoil it for you that's my view anyway. | |

Sounds promising and hopefully our intent to put some pace and width on our game. Early rumours Dyer off to Celtic as Wilson declined Celtic wanting more play time. I'd take Wilson on loan in a heart beat. [Post edited 10 Jul 2018 10:30]

Wilson would be a great loan. I think Klopp will still loan him out as he's not ready for their senior squad (although he's an upgrade over Solanke and Ings so you never know)
As for Dyer to Celtic. That's just newspaper talk with zero substance. They don't even claim there are links. They're just saying that it'd be a good idea for Rodgers to sign his former player.
Anyway I'll still keep Dyer. Still a decent back-up. | |

Odd, parody like confirmation from Sunderland owner Stewart Donald.

I find it odd that various sources claim he's from a Nigerian descent while Transfermarkt (A site fully I trust) say he's Ghanian.
Well..who cares. | |

I shouldn't worry he's not that good.
It's OK wanting young players who are hungry for success but they have to be able to deliver (or at ver least show they are capable of delivering). | |

Yup Dyer is pure speculation on the back of Wilson not going to Celtic. Agree Dyer could do a job in Chamionship but if it were a trade off I'd prefer Wilson. | | | |

Don't bother asking Sunderland fans for a coherent opinion.

Much more excited to see young players brought in who will be hungry rather than overpaid has been with poor attitude. More of the same please. I can see us developing acyoung exciting team we will all like to watch. | | | |
