Winter transfer window

It was supposed to be flexed last week, but we would not pay loan and wages for a forward who would help us.
FRUSTRATING OR WHAT

 

I'm totally for that.

Purely trying to show the idea behind signing a CB IF we don't get an experienced CDM.

 

Wonder how much of that is true or will happen?

 

All for it.

Personally I'd like to say the same about Pritchard.

Then we know we've had a good window!!

 

I wasnt going to reply, but hey ho.

The reason i have mentioned off the field stuff that needs improving is exactly for that reason, to increase our income, so KLD doesnt have to fund anything. I havent mentioned it for a good few days and have set up a seperate thread for finances. That has been taken by some as a dig at the owners, its far from it, its an opinion and thats what messageboards are for arent they expressing opinions?

 

Is the Moore?

 

Wouldn't disagree at all
In the scenario you list, you would hope that the £50m+ received for Clarke, Ballard & Neil (for example) would be reinvested. Those 3 players cost us £3m, so you'd hope that even £25m could find us 3 players either as good, or close to as good as them.

I've always said that the real test of the model would be when we lose a marquee player and what we do with the money. All eyes are on this next week to see if any of the Stewart money (assuming it wasn't already spent in the summer) is spent.

The bigger issue is currently the Head Coach. I don't see a way forward with him at all, so the rest is moot

 

You’ve been reading to many of Bobs posts.

 

The first thing he needs to do is win against Stoke.

 

a) No, he's trying to run the club sustainably so we're not reliant on a sugar daddy in the form of billionaire (look what happened with the last billionaire) or an oil-rich state with a PR problem.

b) That's why we're investing in youth and trying to make a name as a club who will develop young players.

c) It's got us quite a long way from where we were when he arrived

d) It is sustainable (at least in theory), that's the point of it.

e) what do you mean it's not sustainable for Sunderland fans? It's either sustainable or its not. I'm a Sunderland fan and I think its a great idea

f) what's wrong with that? Our (the collective we, obvs) money is running the club so 'we' have more of a connection to it. Its not a local club if a foreign billionaire pays foreign mercenaries to come and half-arsedly keep us just above the Premier League relegation zone.

 

If you say about him not spending money etc is true than KS is exactly what he wants/needs to get the most out of his asset.

 

Excellent point.

 

IF the Cresswell rumour was true, would that be Triantis going out on loan?

 

I think he needs one, he’s played mens football before no point in him sitting on his arse here

 

I agree, hes looked ok in the times ive seen him in the u21's but quite raw. A loan to a decent league 1 team would do him the world of good imo

 

I agree with this. I do think we have to be better commercially. Arguably that’s what they tried to do with the mags game but ballsed it up. Simple fact is if we don’t have extra income we don’t compete.

 

If what Bob said is true then you'd would've thought it'd be Moore.

 

I know I know BUT I want it to be true !
Keifer Moore perm, styles loan and Amad loan rumours

 

Agreed.
