Something seems amiss here. I have just read the Sunderland fans site. The vast majority posting are over the moon that Charlton are prepared to take George off their hands.
The general opinion is that he is shite.
Lets hope that Nigel Adkins has seen something in him, that George has never shown at Sunderland.

I've seen it said Sunderland used him as box-to-box, where as AFCW and Walsall used him in his natural CDM position. If you play somebody out of position they usually are shite.
I thought NA’s team selections to suit his preferred formations and style was sound at the end of last season. If he is seeing qualities in players for specific positions and playing styles that he likes, that’s good enough for me. I don’t care what other fans think one way or the other. It is about what we are building and getting the right mix together.
Sunderland fans thought Matthews was useless as well who in my opinion was our best player in the championship season. Like the post above, Charlie Wyke got pelters as well. Don't mind their fans but if a Sunderland fan calls a player shite.. I get excited to see them as they usually turn out decent.
Also, Dobson was very highly rated at West Ham didn't work out for him there but I don't mind signings like this. It could be what we need in breaking up play and the dirty side of the game.
Would be surprised if there's anything in the Mullin rumours , doesn't exactly fit how I'd expect us to play and strikes me as a bit of a one season wonder.
The big difference with Ajose is that he was signed as our main striker. Would expect Mullins to be competing with Washington and Schwartz for that second forward role when we play two up front or coming off the bench when we need a goal.
We are a hard bunch to please sometimes a guy who smashed it last season broke records for league 2 helped get his team promoted and should be in on a free whats not to like
I'm not sure Mullin would be an Ajose situation. Ajose was our marquee signing and the main man to get us goals. Stockley will be our main man up top this season. I'd see this more as an Aneke replacement, or Schwarz maybe, if he's off.
Do those players out of contract at end of June get paid in July?
Yes.
Bonkers. I'd love to have a contract and then carry on getting paid for another month after it has finished.
Footballers really aren't in the real world.
It's a hang over from a time when all players had one year contracts that were renewable by the clubs only and over which they had no control.
It is effectively a months notice money.
Whether that is right or wrong is debatable but it means players released who don't get new clubs at least have some sort of cushion and not all of them are on £Ms or even £Ks a week.
Thanks. Interesting.
But time to reform the system now in 2021. There are a lot of people not on huge money who don't have this perk and no reason why footballers should still enjoy it.

Cawley said we weren’t after Mullin weeks ago so interesting to see him being linked again.

I wonder how he fits in the team if he does sign? I thought Nigel liked a 4231
How many Bournemouth fans would have welcomed Simon Francis based on our views?
