Right, so if we can't get anyone better than Taylor, do we just forget about a back-up for the position of left-back?![]()
You also claim he's no better than Gunnarsson, Mutch, Whittingham or Kim, yet none of those players have 80+ Premier League games under their name like Colback.
There's strength in numbers and, whether he's better than all four or not, the fact he was involved in a struggling team last season could help us out throughout the next.

Yeah we do forget it. You don't bring in players who aren't better than what you've already got. You don't bring in players to become back-up either (exception perhaps being GK). You bring in players who are you believe are better than the current set of players. I've seen enough of Jack Colback to say I don't rate him and don't think he'd improve the team. If he's so good then why is Di Canio willing to let him go? I know he's turned down a contract offer but given the players Sunderland have signed thus far its probably down to him knowing he ain't going to get much game time. If we're looking at Sunderland players I'd much rather us sign Craig Gardner.

So what, it's Simon Lappin to the rescue whenever Taylor's injured? Because I'd much rather have a versatile and fairly experienced Premier League lad to step in, rather than someone who's hardly played in the last two seasons.
DiCanio said he was furious when the lad initially turned a new contract offer down as he's a useful player, but even if he is willing to let you go due to incoming players, it's because those incoming players are top quality.
In regards to your other point, do you really think Craig Gardner is going to get into that Sunderland team over the likes of Giaccherini, Sessegnon, N'Diaye, Johnson, Larsson, etc, when more signings are expected?

Pathetic. Of course there are one or two in BU that want "Tan Out'' - but the GROUP maintains only
one thing - Support the Club, support Tan, but make him aware we are not happy about his lack of
respect for our heritage, history and wishes.
The supporters that have accepted Red have a few amongst them that prefer the red to blue and
see red as the Club finally ridding itself of the bad old days. Am I accusing you of supporting a ''group''
that wants Blue banished forever?? Of course not
