In this transfer window. NDiaye looks to be a terrific signing and will be a good addition. Mandane we still don't know about but hopefully if will get match fit soon. It looks like Danny Graham is next and despite my huge reservations and disappointments over this potential signing, I have readied myself for it and will, on reflection, at least give the lad a chance to change my perceptions of craas in Sunderland shirts. His touch yesterday for Swanseas 3rd goal was just what Fletch will thrive on imo and I have no doubt about his talent, just his commitment to our cause. We shall see. Also, I'd like to see a right back and this lad Stone could be it and another central midfielder who I'd love to be Sissoko. Then its onto the last 15 games and see where we can actually finishes up. With the 3 lads mentioned above, top 10 and closer to the to 45/46 points should be our target. Also, let's not rule out a big surprise signing from nowhere. Marty is fond of them too.
Agree with most of your post C'est. DG, not my 1st (2nd or 3rd) choice either to be honest but if he pulls the shirt on and gets us 10 goals he's done his job. Wouldnt play him thru there tho. This young Barnsley kid. He must have been watched a few times and other teams are watching as well so he must be good but is he one for the future. Would prefer a more experienced signing. Sissoko would be superb and give us the height, pace and physical presence we need in midfield especially playing alongside N'diaye who it appears already will take on cult status. I think if these signings come in and they gel quickly we could go on and achieve 50 points. Basing the 50 points on us not losing Mig there mind. Westwood is a bloody good goalie BUT the defence are full of confidence knowing Mig is there. A sneaky bid could come in for him yet. Deffo our most saleable asset. If an acceptable bid came in for Sess tho I believe we should let him go.
DG, Stones and Sissokho along with the other two would represent a cracking transfer window for me. Wouldn't be disappointed if we were to look at Le Fondre.
I'd have him, but Reading need him and will not let him go for a reasonable price. When they're relegated we'd get him for cheaper at the end of the season. Would still love to get Zarate!
Zarate Boyce Le Fondre. Happy me, and nailed on top 10. Boyce has come on out of nowhere this season, he is seriously getting to be very, very good.

Haven't read this properly, but Boyce? As in Emerson? Anyone remember that amazing goal he back heel volleyed against Spurs at the end of last season, or the season before? Some of that might be wrong, but for some reason I remember it like that.
Aye, him mate. He had a blinder ain a game I watched maybe 3 month back, so I've kept an eye. He's smart going forward, quick and strong, and has a nice touch, he's decent at the back. He'd be a very good compliment to Rose on the left.
[video=youtube;9OJFB7Urtas]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OJFB7Urtas[/video] Ok Swansea. And it wasn't as gppd as I remembered. He's never really caught my eye, other than that goal- not that I particularly keep an on Wigan much.
He's a RB, and I don't suggest it as long term. We need a RB, and we need one we can get. 2 in 23 is irrelevant for a defender.
