January transfer thread

On SSN yellow ticker that he's signed a 3 and a half year contract

 

And this is why my working from home desk is on the living room today! he background! Awesome

 

Undisclosed

 

You are not alone mate.....

 

Mowbray mentions he’s going to be a long term signing and he needs to develop physically so don’t think we’ll see loads of him this season, does look on the skinny side for a centre half mind

 

I think almost all of our signings under KLD regime have been undisclosed. They don't give much away. Properly run club!

 

Agreed. We could tell the world how rich we are… Not like that adds £15m to a player’s selling fee is it?

 

Did we get any definitive news on Stewarts injury? I’d imagine the length of time he is out will play a major role today

 

As the massive lads fan William Shakespeare once famously said:

“To sign Simms, or not to sign Simms. That is the question.”

 

Scan won’t be till today or tomorrow I reckon. We’ll get official confirmation from Mowbray in his pre-match conference.

 

A Simms in the hand is worth Simms in the Simms?

EXCL: Ross Stewart will be out until the end of the season, following a scan on his Achilles.
HOWEVER, the injury isn’t as bad as first feared. Only a 30% partial tear — not a full rupture as first thought.
The Sunderland striker will be back for full pre-season training #SAFC

Stewart is very positive with the diagnosis. Initial fears were he could be out for 18 months. Instead it’s only 4 months on the sidelines for the 26-year-old.
Stewart will have operation in London this week, and begin rehab in a fortnight #SAFC

 

Looks like he needs a good meal or two, hopefully another shrewd transfer by the club.

 

That's fantastic news.

The mags in the replies are weird however it just proves that some of the people on RTG give our support a bad name. Wishing injuries on players is bizarre

 

As good as it gets for that type of injury. Rehab will still be super important.

 

I can never get behind hoping we lose to be honest. I'd rather we go up and see how we get on. We could/should have beaten Fulham at the weekend and they're top half Prem right now. Also bearing in mind how young our squad is and how quickly they appear to be learning, we might be plenty good enough to hold our own by next year.

Also, if we don't get go up it massively increases the risk of Neil / Michut / Ballard etc. getting poached by a Prem team.

 

Lock him in a room with a pen and contract while he can’t run off!

probably as good news as we could have hoped for
