David Sullivan is relieved that Slaven Bilic put the block on Michail Antonio going anywhere on loan earlier in the season.
ClaretandHugh had revealed several weeks ago that five clubs had approached the Irons looking for a loan deal involving the player but Bilic had knocked them all back. https://www.claretandhugh.info/five-clubs-chase-unhappy-antonio/ .
Now Sullivan has gone on the record confirming the story and clearly believes it shows how highly the boss rates the £7 million signing from Nottingham Forest.
Sullivan said: “Michail Antonio is now getting back to fitness and people are starting to see why we bought him.
He’s a great member of our team and our squad and it shows why the manager would not loan him out when six Championship clubs came in for him before the loan window shut four or five weeks ago.
And thank goodness we didn’t as we need him,” he added.
I hope he keeps his place when Moses is fit again. Antonio gives 110% for 90 minutes, and defends really well, I can’t say tat about Moses, who is great in small doses, but often goes missing.
I think he will become a member of the Payet, Lanzini, Sahko club.
COYI. Happy New Year.
Worth the wait I love attacking wingers with pace and with all the top teams having bad defences the best thing is to attack as the last game proved,
Liverpool have one of the worse defences in the Premier
Then we can attacker Mersaker and co and watch Wenger weep,
Good times coming
Let’s not respect the point from now on lets entertain the fans
Respect the point-the new sound of sunderland
Grab any point I should imagine now !
Is it just coincidence there has been flooding in the north since Hippo went up there or has he taken the mudwallows with him 😉
