Can't see Sunderlamd selling anyway, he'll be key in their survival. Another player who has really impressed me for Sunderland is Ki. He seems to just control games effortlessly. When we went down to 10 at Goodison. He got on the ball and slowed everything down. Not sure why Swansea loaned him out. He's a very good player.

Sebastian Larsson? That must be a wind up. He's shocking. I'd take Johnson any day of the week over him.

Which is exactly what I said, when he turned up for City he was absolute quality. The fact that no matter how well he performed there he found himself on the bench. Which is why I'm saying Mancini ruined him.

It's based on facts. Even you openly admit he was mostly used as a substitute. He never got a proper run in the first 11. If you read Johnson's comments about his time at City he says no matter how well he played he would find himself on the bench the next game. Mancini never spoke to him. The only thing he ever said was yes to him leaving, at the first opportunity.

Mancini never played him, even when he was ripping teams apart he'd drop him the next game. In the latter of his City career he hardly took anyone on. Mancini totally changed him for the worst. He could have been one of the best wingers in Europe if he'd been given faith.

Mancini ruined this lad. He was absolutely class when he turned up at City.

I don't think he works anywhere near hard enough for the loan striker role at present. His goals let him off the hook from some poor performances. He complained that he's not a target man and he's being used as one. Unfortunately, when you're playing as a loan striker you need to get in behind and be a target man. He doesn't win anywhere near enough headers and his hold up play isn't very good. At 20 he's young and has plenty of time to improve, but if he's not willing to graft he will never become a proper goal machine and I wouldn't pay anymore than £20m for him. Although I'm not really inspired by the Traore deal this will at least put some pressure on him because Martinez was not willing to go with Jelavic at all. He just didn't fancy him.

Without seeing either play a full game and baseing this on youtube clips, I have to say I prefer the look of Batshuayi over Traore. This would also be a permanent transfer.

Personally I think we are nailed on for 5th. We're better than United and Spurs IMO. Kopites have Suarez and theres the difference. I think last night highlights our problem. It was the same with Moyes last season. Drawing just doesnt do you any good. If you draw a couple of games you get 2 points. If you win 1 lose 1 you get 3 points.

Kevin Mirallas has really stepped up the last two games. He ran his socks off last night.
