Summer window

Maja been playing in second tier in France and when playing in championship looks well short of what some people are asking for as for Nisbet and Healy not sure I would call them experienced and as your post says fairly experienced I could argue so is Hemir ??? I will concede that Yates may well be able to do a job but is still not the 20 goal a season championship striker that some are expecting however do you think any of these would placate what some of our fans are asking for. But thanks for finally putting some names out there and whilst IMO I probably would only entertain Yates I believe he would only really be a short term appointment and not really sure that would be good for him or the club, but like I say just an opinion and I could be wrong, I still think we need to build for the future and think that the way we seem to be retaining our players of value points to a building process just think a bit of patience is needed.

 

Yeah but with Hemir and Mayenda you could say exactly the same

 

Rumours stansfields at the game today

 

Christ he's there early

 

I watch a lot of football but I don't follow a lot of football, if that makes sense.

99% of the lads we are linked with or sign I've never heard of or not paid any attention to. I can only judge what I see when they play for us.

Then add in personal opinions and the huge emotions that come with supporting the team and there will always be discussions.

I freely admit the off the field stuff really annoys me, bit that's because I want us to be self sustainable, I want the best off the field as much as I do on the field.

Anyway, in 40 minutes I will be in the pub

 

Must be keen

 

I think people are going to be pleasantly surprised by him.

 

Think he is probably there for the early bird discounts on a pint

 

Is she gigging in town?

 

Which gob on here said their was no post re Cannon and Nixon and him joining I've just read the full article

 

Yeah, I named those specifically because realistically we still have Stewart and he’s our main striker so IMO we need someone who has a few games under their belt and can slot in straight away. I don’t blame the club for signing the younger strikers at all I think they’re both great signings and I’m certainly not daft enough to think we should be spending £10m+ on a striker at this level.

We don’t need someone to score every game we just need the clever runs, occupying defenders to create space etc which generally players get with experience.

Maja for instance we seen how clever his movement is when he was at Sunderland and he’s a great finisher, I think it would’ve been a good option to have on the bench once Stewart is back (if he is) and offers something different then we’d have Hemir as the 3rd striker and Mayenda as cover out wide aswell as being able to slot in up top.

I think for the younger lads to come in and make an impact straight away it’s difficult because of how teams set up to frustrate us and they won’t be used to that. Hemir will be fine, it’s not his fault whatsoever we were **** against Ipswich. He had absolutely no service but sections of our fans refuse to point the finger at Roberts and Clarke because they’re normally top drawer.

But even Maja and Nisbet are 24/25 ish with 5+ seasons under their belt which is considerably more than Hemir and you feel like they could’ve maybe just dealt with us trying to adapt better than throwing the young lad straight in when he has no other striker on the grass in training to learn off amongst obviously coming to a new country, new lifestyle and lots of changes off the field etc. I’ve never really thought of it until now but that’s probably another reason we need Stewart to stay.

Sorry for boring you to death

 

50% off the beer. He'll be smashed by KO

 

First time he's tried to use the new digital ticket.

 

Maja did **** all in the Championship. He had a good league 1 half season. He then did **** all in Ligue 1 and had a reasonable season in the French 2nd tier.

Doesn't actually support your argument in my opinion

 

New tactic, play the first half with no opposition, it’s currently 0-0

 

I don't know and I don't know why.

 

It’s also another reason why I react to defend the club when people say things like “we’ve had 18 months to sign a new striker”.

I understand the sentiment entirely. But Stewart doesn’t do his Achilles and we have £20m extra to spend on that striker.

 

it wasn’t me but Nixon has never said Cannon is coming to us. He has always maintained Preston are favourites but others are interested permanently. It’s been his stance for about 2 months.

If you’ve read anything else it’s fake or somebody misreporting him

 

Did you actually watch a single minute of Maja once he left Sunderland or have you just quickly looked on Wikipedia at his stats?

Exactly the same boat as Roberts and Clarke were in before joining.

 

That's what ppl don't get is how much it costs for that experienced striker. Me personally I wouldn't class Stewart as experienced in the championship yet all sunderland fans are saying he's worth 10 to 15 mill. Some just need to take a step back and realise what your asking for costs stupid money way football has gone.
