    Who'd have thought we'd draw with Plymouth and actually have kept pace with Leeds and Burnley and closed the gap on Sheff Utd by a point.
    It was a really **** result for us but not actually the end of the world

    The transfer window is a bloody circus. I'll be glad when it's over. It gets everyone hett up and desperate for signings when in reality everything is fine and we don't need a great deal. If showing ambition is spunking 3m on will grigg then I'm happy with our approach

    Sunderland pay ELF's reported 60k plus a week and put in an obligation to buy of around £20m.

    In the championship.

    And are accused of a lack of ambition by their own fans.

    That's a ****ing farce.

    It wasn't just that he came, tried his best and just couldn't reach our standard ...

    ... he was absolutely useless, didn't try and made it clear he didn't want to be at Sunderland.

    One of the worst signings in our history.

    Could do with something exciting to give us a lift after that disappointing Plymouth result.

    Apparently the lad whose played a handful of times in Europe for Roma earlier in the season just isn't enough reason to be excited for some.

    i think we should go out and throw 10m at that kid from Wycombe to really show some ambition, that’s the way to do it…

    In your opinion Bob, who would you like us to sign and for how much that would prove to you that we are showing ambition? This is not a dig. I’m just interested

    What lack of ambition? We've signed a top player in Le Fee and you slag the club

    Don't mean this to sound bad but you don't get me rilled up at all as I know you have an agenda against people at the club, so I am totally chill. Post what you want but if I disagree or even agree with someone I'll comment back

    It also does sound you are having a go

    11pm Monday is the time to express concerns about the window for me (I’m very happy with the window so far) plenty time yet the January window is notoriously difficult to get good value, don’t be shocked if nothing happens until deadline day, do expect leaks before then though

    Exactly this.

    The club know what we need and be working to get the players in, I'm hoping we have our business done by Sunday so Monday is fully.concentrated on the game

    Aye i always say judge a window once it's actually closed

    Then we can all judge if we think it's been a good one or not

    I think if it closed right now it would be a good window, could have been better of course but keeping all our better players and adding le fee I don’t think it can be seen as any less

    I’m still trying to figure out what showing ambition is, who should we be chucking money at?

    Tom Cannon? Diaz? Louie Barry?
