It is but thats why Neto is going for £60m. Be hard to get someone as good but Clarke wouldn't be a bad replacement at less than half the price.
It's a very strange one. Since we lost Stewart......? Very odd indeed. We have the players to provide the main target man, yet....?
Mayenda might do well but we're desperate for some experience up front. Hopefully that's solved in the next few weeks but I'm not feeling confident.
Had since January to look for someone, surely we aren’t daft enough to leave it to mendy or nothing ! Didn’t speakman say the money was there if they found the right player?
There’s a chance for one of my other favourite Sunderland wheezes of recent years: going into the last week of the window knowing there’ll be first team ready CFs available on loan from the PL (Moore et al) then finding themselves shocked, that somehow, just somehow, their wages will be way beyond budget.
Neto has played both sides and through the middle. Normally plays on the left for Portugal when he is selected as well
These are all the striker signings by Championship clubs this summer; Makhtar Gueye, Blackburn, £1.8m Yuki Ohashi, Blackburn, £1.25m Fally Mayulu, Bristol City, £3.5m Sinclair Armstrong, Bristol City, £2.9m Andreas Hountondji, Burnley £4m Wildred Kanga, Cardiff, Loan Brandon Thomas-Asante, Coventry, £2.9m Kayden Jackson, Derby, Free Jerry Yates, Derby, Loan Delano Burgzorg, Middlesbrough, £2.7m Macaulay Langstaff, Millwall, £800k Muhamed Tijani, Plymouth, Loan Elias Sorensen, Portsmouth, £350k Zan Celar, QPR, £2m Kieffer Moore, Sheff UTD, £1.7m Ike Ugbo, Sheff Wed, £3m Olaf Kobacki, Sheff Wed, £600k Jamal Lowe, Sheff Wed, Free Charlie McNeill, Sheff Wed, Free Sam Gallagher, Stoke, £1.8m Zan Vipotnik, Swansea, Free Devante Cole, West Brom, Free Used Transfermarkt for the fees so they are approximate. Some of these wouldn't fit here and some of them I just think they are bad players but there is at least 8 on that list who I think would've been good signings, probably a few more. Not even any signings on that list which should be out of our price range either, outside of Moore's wages.
Has anyone got any hint of ITK info to steady the ship that they can share,think even the most steadfast of us are slightly worried
I think they would sell mate, personally. There has been a few championship to championship deals this summer. Both Gelhardt and Coburn will be bench warmers I imagine. Why not take a couple of million quid. Either way this Mendy deal should have been kicked into touch by now and we should be looking elsewhere.
I’m hoping mayenda shows us all something tomorrow to relax us for a week or so while we get this sorted, I’m choosing blind faith, we’ll get someone in before Burnley, just hope they’re ready to start from the off, I’d be ****ing mendy off now though
