Club's twitter mentioned that we signed Stéphane Sessègnon 14 years ago today. I think that means Ryan Sessegnon is virtually confirmed. We can call 29th Jan Sessegnon day.
Only a few more year to suffer Sky marra. They are haemorrhaging money like no tomorrow and losing advertising which is why all of the Star pundits went to be replaced by billy no mate types. Its reckoned by 2029 they will be gone.
This for me as well. I'll be logging off here 7.30 on Monday night to watch Frankie and Danny snhow, then the boro match with a few bottles of Hairy Bikers - new Theakston real ale, red top well recommended. I'm staying well clear of this thread, incase it decends into a repeat of last summers embarrassing transfer deadline thread.
I have no idea who these "pundits" are on SSN this morning. I believe they may be "influencers" what ever that is
That doesnt bode well for sensible debate on social media. The game will finish about 10 ish and subject to the result there will be an hour of the window left......
Thanks, he'd have been a better signing for them in my opinion. Having said that Gilchrist is more of a CB playing at RB, that's really what Harry Clarke is/was too.
No signing ever guarantees improvement but everyone could argue that about every single transfer ever made. We could miss out by 1 point to Sheff Utd and you could put it down to them doing business in January and us standing still. And ultimately that’s exactly what the fans will say if we do just miss out. Football is a very fickle sport and it’ll always be the same. All we can do is put ourselves in the best position possible and that’s by signing the right players if the figures are right, I’m sick of hearing about player development. We owe these players nothing nor do they owe us it’s a business at the end of the day and KLD is in charge to do what’s best for the club not what’s best for Chris Rigg because he’s from Hebburn. For months we’ve all moaned about the lack of depth in the squad and having nobody on the bench who can change things but now we’re linked with decent players people are whinging that others might be benched to make way ffs.
I tend to avoid all SAFC social media after we have the nerve to have drawn or lost anyway. You're right, it will only be exacerbated by the transfer window deadline...
hopefully we get our signings before Monday so we can concentrate on match but this is SAFC we always do things the hard way
Yeah I think we absolutely need at least one more attacking player. Personally, I'd either want an out and out number 9 or a player comfortable on both wings. I'd probably prefer a winger but that may be recency bias talking considering we have one fit wide player currently
