    5.40 on the last day of the window and look at the state of us.

    Looks like the club`s given up.

    Soul destroying this.

    Right now I'd be grateful for Arouna Kone.

    It`s got to that stage.

    Next we`ll get the `we tried` statements.

    I believe he's injured at the moment.
    Also, I don't know if he's old enough for us.

    From not believing the press for much of the time to believing what they're saying now?

    5hrs 11 minutes to go. Fingers still crossed!

    Moyes has been managing our club since July. Where is all your options Moysey? Surely he'll have a list of about 8-10 players he'd go for, he just needs to work his way down the list.

    No more targets. Can't get clubs to sell. That's why you need money in the Jan Transfer window, you have to overpay to get teams to sell, No budget, no selling team likie.

    I wonder what the new signings make of Moyes's quotes earlier when he said he won't be bringing any new players in who would improve the squad? Welcome to Sunderland lads,your ****e but better than nowt.

    <laugh> You're joking aren't you? Yeah must be joking. You know it's more complex with way more factor at play than just doing that.

    So it's coming pretty clear. We need another sale to generate the budget to sign a big striker, failure to do this would be unacceptable. Short is trying his best to send us down and cut his nose off to spite his face.

    The only thing i'd take from a relegation is that Short the **** will have ****ed himself up the arse in the process.

    Well I could run my finger down a list of things I want in a catalog. Pointless exercise if I don't have the poke to buy it.

    We know we've had a list of targets mate, it's been reported all day. Clubs won't sell, tells my we don't have the budget to even test them.

    We know we've got 7.5 mil because that's what we bid for Ulloa, that should be enough to get someone in whether from domestic leagues or abroad.

    7.5m for a striker is going to get us a Jozy or Kone. It's not good enough a standard mate. It would be like flushing 7.5 down the drain going for the next Danny graham, Chopra, stead! This is the category of quality 7.5m is going to get us in this market. Just don't see any value in over paying for ****. it's 5 managers of having to fill holes in squads with these sort of signings which have us up **** creek. Ever since Bruce sold out spine and replaced them with free agents and loans, this has been a big part of our problem. It's squad filler pennies is 7.5 million.

    Getting someone in from abroad might be tricky now due to time constraints and getting medicals done etc but overall I agree. If we've already thrown the towel in the list of targets must have been limited to Ulloa and Jay Rodriguez. If we're leaving it til the last day, you would have thought that we'd have been putting in the ground work since the window opened. But it seems its been half arsed again.
