That's not true. All our signings and outgoings have been reported on at least a few days in advance outside of Alese and Seelt in recent years.
Hence why I said the club keeps things quiet, we used to get rumours weeks before anything happened. Now it only seems to come out when deal is done or nearly done.
 
Probably but Ballard was all set to go to Burnley before we nipped in and I think Seelt might have been too. It’s not inevitable we miss out if we really want him.

Exactly. The post linking us links Burnley. Nothing is done.

We are 10 times the club they are and a tricky winger would be ping there to die defending.

Wonder if he knows Romaine? Get on the blower lad!

He’d be £20m+ surely

They're trying to offload him after 6months because he doesn't fit their style of play anymore - just signed Gouiri yesterday too.

Think there could be a decent deal to be made but it's always hard to predict fees - I would have expected Edwards to be much more than it sounds like he is.

Id be much more up for rowe, would assume a premier league club came in for him
 
Everything is “potentially” something.

the squad is strong and has been strengthened by the addition of Le Fee. If we don’t get any other deals across the line then it’ll be disappointing but not fatal
Massive missed chance for me. We need the depth
 
I blame the posters a couple of days ago saying it’s very quiet and there’s no rumours to talk about. Since then we’ve had bids for Watson, speculation about jobe and now edwards is going to Burnley :emoticon-0102-bigsm

Was never going to be straight forward with Sunderland was it lads
 
I must say that i'm a hell of a lot calmer about our situation than I have been for a long time heading into a January deadline. I think we need another attacker but I wouldn't say we are desperate like we were in 22/23 when Simms was recalled and Stewart got injured or last year when our forwards just weren't good enough.

I think we'll sign one forward and i'd be fine with that.
 
Another view on Watson I’ve been thinking that may not be popular. Decent fee with sell on / add ons for Watson as it seems clear his agent is inviting approaches and has been for a while. Clarke in on loan and line up an investment for the summer.

How is it "clear his agent is inviting approaches"?

From what I gather, it's the same club who have approached in 2 different windows.

Even if his agent was doing that, that's his job. He can go into the next contract negotiation and say "This lad is so good that a top Premier League team are interested" and it immediately strengthens the negotiating position. It's just part of the game.
 
Burnley/Sheff UTD playing a deadly game. As which one doesn’t go up (or both) they will be at risk of FFP.

so let them get themselves into trouble
Burnley won’t be in risk of FFP they’ve barely spent

Definitely not desperate at all assuming we keep the first teamers at the club beyond this window,imo.

If the edwards deal is a permanent that’s the big challenge we have against the parachute payment clubs. Loan deals we can be competitive as the wages won’t be factored in but we won’t be able to match the permanent fees.
