nothing mate only one i believe could still happen is simms but everton need a pull a rabbit out the hat at the moment with an incoming potential sarr from watford , fingers crossed getting a little bit nervous in the striker area now
Sadly Mowbray's plea for more help and experience has seen us sell our most experienced player and get in a kid who's never played a senior game.
He might be our most experienced player but he was also 5th choice CB. Mowbray said he was hoping for more experience in CM
It appears that our only target is Simms and that's dependent on Everton being competent in the next few hours. I suspect it's all agreed, pending on them getting a striker in first, which is looking unlikely. It's a weird situation, as I fully believe we need another striker in, but if the only option is an overpriced punt a lá Will Grigg then is it better that the club keep their powder dry? We look safe this season and promotion without Stewart is a still a lottery at best, so maybe it's not worth making a long term commitment that we only want for the short term. Finishing 10th this season and seeing Lihadji and Ekwah play a lot more than they were expected to this year won't be the end of the world.
Good luck Bailey Wright. He's done a great job for us and seems to be a top bloke to have around the club.
We haven't sold him, your post makes it sound like TM has been ignored for profit. I bet TM has agreed to the move as he wasn't playing anyway and unlikely to and he has probably asked to go to get some minutes. Probably came down to him being a good pro for us and being well liked and the club have allowed him to go as its what he wanted.
Sadly, having 'experienced' players, in the past, was a disaster ... ... the young lads are producing some of the best football of the last half century.
We go into the second half of the season with only one centre forward, you could not make that up. It was foolhardy enough going intio the first half with only 2 centre forwards, but quite frankly, at any level of football, only having one is just plain daft
Being fair to players like Bailey Wright is as important as how we treat the young lads ... ... Sunderland is a club people want to be around.
I know I bet they've just been sitting with their feet up all day today as they know 1 striker is enough
I'm sure in the summer window, the sunderland based journalists were briefed by the club that business was concluded and they then tweeted out. We haven't had that yet. Clutching at straws I know...
