Keith Downie ‏@SkySports_Keith 4m Sunderland boss Gus Poyet on lack of signings: "the closer we get to next week, the more drastic we'll have to get." Keith Downie ‏@SkySports_Keith 1m Gus Poyet tells @SkySportsNews he has had to change his pre-season plans for their trip to Portugal due to the lack of new signings.
It's all now looking quite strange I thought we had our potential signings ready to make the jump, but it is beginning to look like we have under estimated the peculiarities of the transfer market yet again
I have to say, this is all starting to look like another transfer window **** up and a relegation fight. The club looks like a shambles and, unless I'm really missing something, the 'master plan' is in tatters. And that's from an eternal optimist!
The big question is from this is this... Does drastic mean A. Overpaying? Or B. Secondary targets? I don't like secondary targets, I don't like over paying either.
That's why you bring a DoF in. To lighten the work load. Two of them have been unsuccessful to this point.
Eyup Rog! That gif is a representation of life as a fan of NUFC. The people signify our hopes and dreams. The never ending hole is where they end up! I imagine it is the same for you guys too!
dunno mate, doubt it but it smells like an amatuer that should be keeping his gob shut Its all very well saying it looks like we're ****ed, we need a miricle, when the chips are down but ffs you dont play the market this way, bid £14m for one now we are desperate, what gives?
We really need congerton to earn his keep and show his skills. This is one of the most important transfer windows in years and I'm not sure he's upto the task. Sure we have the 3 signings we got on frees but they were easy deals to be fair. Our squad is paper thin and we need not only numbers but quality. Short needs to stop pissing about and put his hand in his pocket and either back us or sell up to someone who can. We have a lot of potential but it will never be fulfilled by penny pinching and not being incisive in the transfer market.
