Is Roy Keane playing with fire at Sunderland?

1
Another great article from former Republic of Ireland forward Tony Cascarino, where Tony questions the recent signings that Keane has made including Pascal Chimbonda, El Hadji Diouf, and Djibril Cisse. I disagree with Tony on his views though as I think Roy is doing the best he can within his resources to bring in players that can help make Sunderland a respectable team within the Premier League and keep them out of a relegation battle.

Torres Summons Lightning Strike

1
Fabio Capello believes Fernando Torres is the best striker in the world, though he did not look it here. He did sink Sunderland and claim three opening-day points Liverpool barely deserved with a wonder goal seven minutes from time, however, and that is all anyone can ask of a world-class striker.

To the enviable talents fully displayed last season and in the European Championships in the summer can now be added the knack of appearing to sleepwalk through a game before bursting into life with one decisive moment. Click to continue reading...

Premiership Preview--13. Sunderland

0
Backed by the loudest supporters in the Premier League last season, measured at average peak volume at 129.2 decibels, almost as loud as a jet, Sunderland will look to improve on last season's respectable 15th-place finish. The Black Cats were the only newly-promoted team to survive in the Premiership, an accomplishment in itself, but manager Roy Keane has made it clear through his summer signings that he wants more from his club.

Bye Bye Dioufy, Hello Riga

1

El Hadji Diouf
is gone. He has to pass his medical and then hes officially with Sunderland. I liked Dioufy over the years that he played for the Trotters. Even though he only scored an average of 5 goals a season, he was exciting. You never knew when he would blow up in someone's face and then have a moment of sheer brilliance from the wing.
