Family have been publicly slating the club too so be good to draw a line under it allWhen was the last time Cotcher played for us? If he's still officially a Sunderland player then he must have spent a lot of time sat around twiddling his thumbs in the last 18 months
Quality strikers was the question tbf. A lot of poor options, whom I’d be disappointed if we signed

Which ones have been mentioned mate? New here so not seen much in the past.Half of them have been mentioned in this thread as players people would have
Who are we deeming would be a quality striker that we’re after? Realistically we’re shopping in a market that’s so cheap we’re taking chances there’s nothing to say even someone like Ugbo will be quality.
Waste of a season then. Criminal at that age. Every chance he could have gotten some game time here had he been a bit wiserHad trails at arsenal, man utd n leeds - played u21 football for all i think
Anyone can sign a striker, harder to get get a good strikerThere’s been about 15 strikers who’ve moved to championship clubs this summer already
Nothing to say spending big money brings in quality either thoHalf of them have been mentioned in this thread as players people would have

Me too, think the lads needs more games. To adjust to the championship. Fingers crossed he'll turn outI will be disappointed if Pembele is away so soon. Appreciate he has been poor in pre season, but in my opinion there is a top level player in there. His injury was a bad one and I still suspect he is finding his way back from that. I would keep him around this season personally.
Aye thats the thing, he probably would've gotten a first team appearance last season the way things turned out. Now he'll be playing academy football again.Waste of a season then. Criminal at that age. Every chance he could have gotten some game time here had he been a bit wiser

Strange one, I was told Riggs progression was what pissed them off, Rigg being the ‘golden child’ and not himPathetically advised. Chasing the bag constantly and not bought into the youth development pathway that is now at the AOL. Just needs to look at Riggs rise through the first team.
He is a really tidy player mind and I wouldn't be surprised for him to play at the top level at some point.
Will never succeed with that attitude, most players will play in a team with a better prospect than themStrange one, I was told Riggs progression was what pissed them off, Rigg being the ‘golden child’ and not him
no idea if that’s true mind

I still get nightmares thinking about some of our big money signings over the yrs

Hawking his wares across the land when he should be getting 30 games a season under his belt for the 21s. Madness2 games for Arsenal u18s.
1 game for Man Utd u18s.
1 game for Leeds reserves, 3 games for Leeds u18s.
I remember reading he trialled with Ipswich as well but didn't feature for them, could be other examples like that.

Which will be why they are being deliberate. There's a point where wanting to get a decision right becomes paralysis of course, but there aren't many shots at this this summer (particularly if we retain the likes of Clarke). I can understand a desire to try to get the best possible chance of success.Half of them have been mentioned in this thread as players people would have
