Rates him very highly at this level. If Grabban is that good then your house mate should be very depressed as Sunderland are ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McCormack has a number as he has played this season, I couldn't tell you what it is though. I assume 44. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trivial I know, but now the transfer window has closed, it will keep us occupied till Saturday! 1...........He is a deep lying striker.

I think under the circumstances we have done very well......but of course he has to do it for us......I think he will.

LakotaDakota Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 doesn't look like he is too fussy. He has worn 39, 9, 2, 10, 23, 19, 23, 22, 9, 7, 28, 50 & 11 so far in his career Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dnmacf Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Scoring 12 in a Sunderland side in the lower reaches of the table is some feat. You would have thought they would have been desperate to keep him? Of the goals I’ve seen, they seem like very basic bread and butter finishes. Nothing curling into top corners, just composure when in 1-1 situations against a keeper. I think he’ll be a useful option if say we wanted to play two strikers, need to rest Hogan or pick up an injury. These next few months are about one thing and one thing only, promotion. The more options we have to vary our play or cover certain positions, the more likely we are to be successful. He can take a penalty also which may be important in the playoffs. Astute use of the loan market in my view. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much of a merc as that makes him sounds, that Sunderland team is toxic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alreadyexists Posted February 2, 2018 VT Supporter Share Posted February 2, 2018 From what I read it seems like they probably did want to keep him but he wanted to return to parent club so he did. We know how bad things can get when relegated from the PL but imagine if we were then circling the drain in the Champ last season... VP would not be the friendliest of places to a losing home side, and I imagine the same was happening up in Sunderland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted February 2, 2018 Share Posted February 2, 2018 Can't say I've seen him play more than maybe a handful times, and the only time I've noticed him was against us for Sunderland since the other games was with Bournemouth against superior teams. Still, from the Youtube video he looks pretty good and scores goals in a lot of different ways, a lot of them from outside the box. Think it's a really solid signing, and perfect for us that it's a loan and not a permanent signing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
