Absolutely mate. But at the point we are selling players to Liverpool, Juve or Barca then I think we be happy. This club can be massive though. We can get to European football levels. I really think we will under this ownership.
After arriving on Wearside, Lutsharel Geertruida said: “First of all, I want to thank God for this opportunity, and I also want to thank the Club for their trust in me. I’ve always wanted to play in the Premier League, and I’m so excited now that my opportunity is here. We are new to the league, so we need to fight, and I want to be a part of that. I’ve seen the recent games and think the group looks fresh and energetic. Now, I just want to be as important as possible for this Club. I’m ready, and I can’t wait to see the fans in the stadium.”
think with afcon though it's hard run anyway, other than maybe leeds all the other games i don't think we'll be expecting much the will be every single reporter is reporting there is
Great window. Pretty much all the players signed are talented and look good signings individually. I have some minor quibbles about balance for this year in a few areas. We also really need to pivot to hg signings in the coming windows. Will have to see how we do at that as it’s a market we’ve almost totally ignored this summer. But we’ve certainly given ourselves a decent chance. Great effort.
Fair. Always going to be difficult to make wholesale changes and rock every box, to tick 90% after 8 years in the football wilderness is stunning.
Just need to bank as many points before afcon obviously, December could be rough . Can’t fault the club, give ourselves a real shot. Let’s hope RLB can work his magic
Just checked and you'd all be amazed to learn that he's actually the first Lutsharel to play for us. I could have sworn we have another but I was thinking of Gavin McCann. Easy mistake.
I think the club have recognised the need for so many signings and given the "English tax", that could only be done through foreign players. Once we have the core of a Premier League squad and we start to pivot towards 4 or 5 singings a summer, we'll see bids for that type of player I'm sure.
Think we’re gonna need to grow a few. Hopefully we can make good progress before January and dedicate ourselves almost entirely to adding the next generation.
