    Imagine if someone got subbed at half time and told they were being sold and then carted off for a medical?

    Agree, let's stick with rumours rather than waffle

    Time for Speakman to decide if we’re serious on promotion back to where we belong or if he is intent on lowering us to being a middling champ club a la Bristol City

    Time for Dreyfus to start acting like a multibillionaire

    Fingers crossed for today but not holding my breath

    oh and **** the Boro

    Listened to the podcast with the ex head of data and he mentioned that the hierarchy don't try to "force" and "pressure" promotion, I think they'll see it as a good chance for promotion but won't also break all their internal rules and methods to rush it through

    I think Speakman has already shown his aim is for promotion - The Le Fee and Mepham signings prove that

    Today is irrelevant to that. Would it be great to add players today, of course it would and I personally feel we need a couple extra players in to kick on

    KLD has been smart as hell with his investment since coming in so he just has to keep doing what he's doing

    Exactly how it should be eh

    The people running our club has the short and most importantly long term in mind when making decisions

    I don't want short term success, I want us to be successful over many years and I feel our owner and KS are the people to take us there

    Tell it like it is mate, and that’s how it is.

    There’s been a significant change from fans hoping for signings, then expecting signings and now demanding signings.

    People know exactly what signings they want and seem to believe repeating it, on social media, will push the club into action then seem offended if their wishes aren’t granted. There’s a belief, among some, that ‘signings = promotion’ and ‘no signings = no ambition’ Staying with the squad who’ve given us a chance isn’t an option and will be throwing away our chance of going up. Not demanding signings means you’re accepting mediocrity apparently.

    If ambition is shown, money spent and promotion not achieved the answer will be ‘spend more money next time’, guaranteed …

    … then, when it all goes wrong and the spectres of relegation, debts and liquidation appear people will say, ‘Yes the owner/club should be punished but why should the fans suffer?’

    Sunderland have become bigger and better without repeating the mistakes of the past but some will still say ‘They’re trying to do it on the cheap’ as if that’s a bad thing. KLD keeps saying he wants the club to be sustainable …

    … some don’t like the sound of that despite the alternative being unsustainable.

    As you’ve said some want money spent no matter where it comes from, preferably KLDs own pocket for some.

    Que sera on the window … Ha’way the Lads at Boro.

    First windup of what will be a long day! Think KS and KLD have already shown their intent and their ability to see it through.

    Can see why other teams have said the window closing when they have a game is a pain in the arse.

    Today's going to be long enough waiting for the game without the hassle of deadline day.

    What will be will be at 11pm tonight and the biggest thing is 3 points and no injuries l, the rest will sort itself out over the next few weeks
