    This Semih link could be a smoke and mirrors to try and show Akpoms agent we won't wait around. Very unlikely if the likes of Villa have been linked hours ago to the same player.

    Great to see us showing intent and ambition this window though.

    I 99% believe we’ve put a bid in for him as they say. He fits the profile more or less perfectly. It’s too on the nose to be a complete fabrication.

    what I completely doubt is that we’ll be successful

    Soo do you think we’ll get a striker in that’s been named or unknown

    The Akpom link could be a way of us telling Westerlo that we do have other forward options if we can't get the right deal done.

    I think it’s going to come out of the blue

    if it’s semih I think it must be nearing completion to get out.

    if it’s not him then it’s going to be someone not named imo

    The report about the Turkish lad says there’s a package there, could it be we have had the offer on the table a while, and due to the clubs interested the club have decided to press ahead with akpom

    I’d absolutely love to be properly in the know and be involved in all the work Speakman does. And know exactly how many offers we have on the table and for who. I reckon we have at least 5 or 6 bubbling away with the hope one comes off

    Just made the mistake of watching a youtube and now all I want in the world is a Semih.

    Have wanted SAFC to sign one of those stocky, mobile strikers ever since we missed out on Salvador Cabanas. Reckon that type would be absolutely loved at Sunderland. Incidentally that archetype has a specific name in South American football. Anyone know what it is?

    Aye. I think it’s really important to have proper full backs able to step in not just someone to come in and “do a job”. They’re important to how we play. Like Gomez going in at RB over Trent, he does a job but nowhere near as effective going forward as Bradley was when he came in imo.
