The club will have a list of targets doesnt mean they would be successful though If we end up with 1 striker it is disappointing but I trust that the club have tried everything possible to bring the right players in
Again tho - we may have had a list of 5 players as back ups to simms and been onto them all day. And they might all be in exactly the same boat as simms. We just don’t know. for all we even know, simms has been off the radar for 48 hours as Dyche wants to keep him and all efforts are on countless other options.
Aye because those employed to make those decisions have played a blinder here haven’t they Going into the latter half of the season with one fit unproven striker.
I thought it was nailed on that we’d get at least one striker in. The quality we want not available, mixed with limited wiggle room in our wage bill, possibly?
I’m sure they have a list or two but it’s one thing having a list and another getting the deal done Especially in January. Of course I’d like more in but If teams are trying to milk us because Stewart is out is sooner go with what we’ve got
It's about opinions.mate, if you look at his games in detail, he looks lethargic and seems to let players just go past him. We need a bloke who tracks back and can still score. Look if he comes back, I will be happy, but there are better out there, but we will not pay the big wages.
No, because he has literally never kicked a ball for Sunderland, therefore is unproven for us. Are you taking the piss?
In their defence many of our now starting lineup were unproven at the start of the season. Certainly at this level
In a football match you win by scoring goals and not conceding. It could be suggested that in a football transfer market, you have won if you are stronger at the end of the market than you were at the beginning. As of 20.15 pm 31st Jan 2023, we are weaker than we were on 1 Jan 2023 This window has been a failure!
He scores goals and can hold up play leading the line, just because he doesn't run about closing down players for 90 minutes doesn't mean he is lazy imo.
No, but then it’s not my job to do. Same as I wouldn’t hire Speakman to do my job. Like I’ve said, I like Speakman, and I’ve said that I think he’s doing a good job. I just think we should have done more to ensure we don’t go into the latter half of the season with only Gelhardt.
You don't need strikers who track back, that's not their job. Strikers press from the front in spells in the game.
They have played a blinder since coming in, taken us from League 1 to the top half of the championship - have recruited a squad of exciting youngsters who play unreal football
