Ridiculous, but if it does come to pass - do we have a sell on?

i think his perfomance against leeds was terrific
so why wouldnt they show interest
just because he didnt do well for us doesnt mean to say he wont suit their way of playing
you lot have got to remember,players dont give their best when you constantly
get on their backs and complain about them.
look at the team now constant moaning about certain players
you wont astrker comming here
woe betide him if he cant hit the back of the net
he will be called all the names under the sun
these arnt the fans i grew up with
all this site does is constant moan
id love to see you moaners put on a pair of boots and get slagged off week after week
it would be a case of "i cant come today im not well"
players are only human
and the sooner you tossers realise this we may have a family team again!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He was a regular in an average league 1 side when he was with us and Peterborough.
Sunderland are an average ish league 1 side so it’s not beyond the realms of possibility.
If he went there he probably wouldn’t score many but would probably play quite well and become a decent squad player.
Like he was with us.

TN is doing well because there is no crowd. ie less pressure.
He would crumble at the stadium of light with 20k+ on his back week in week out.
I hope he does go to Sunderland. Genuine guy who does try hard and deserves the money but it would also mean one of our competitors are going to score fewer goals than they do now! That can only strengthen our (and every other clubs) position in the league and force Sunderland closer to being a league two club.
Really shows what a Sh1t manager little Lee is if really thinks this is the answer to Sunderland's problems. Even not following the club, it's clear this is not what they want!

Could be a good fit, gifted, intelligent, and technically good player, if you are looking for 20 plus goal striker then Tom's not your man but midfielder who will grab 10 a season , good buy. Suffered with us as hailed as the new Taylor and not surprisingly confidence in front of goal suffered as a result of constant criticism.

This would be so, so funny. If you think Gasheads were unkind to him, we weren’t, it would be like a Christian thrown in the lions den in Ancient Rome with those lunatics up there.
Squeaky wouldn’t be very popular either!

But he didn't. By his own admission, TN accepts that his time with Rovers was unfulfilling. With a high transfer fee and contract costs, he was bought to score many goals. He barely scored any.
If Sunderland are considering him in any capacity I would be astonished.

He was successful at Exeter, did ok at Posh and is doing well at Crawley. It’s only us that seem to be so unhappy with him. Perhaps it’s as others have said, he came here and many on here thought he was going to be a 20 a season forward, which he wasn’t. Exeter didn’t play him like that, Crawley certainly aren’t. I don’t know enough about his time at Posh as to how they played him.
But it seems as if perhaps we didn’t do our homework on matching the player to what we needed. Perhaps it wouldn’t happen now under Tommy W! 😉
I’d have thought it unlikely he’ll end up at Sunderland but don’t see it as a complete mismatch but if he struggled with expectations with us he’ll need a good start there or that lot will be quickly on his back.
UTG!
