    I think it's all about expectations. If I look though that squad with a even a hint of promotion expectations it's so short it's not worth discussing. But when looking with expectations of an extended championship stay its not so bad but it's not so good either, alsorans is a God awful league. I guess that's just where we are until you know who ****s you know where

    Simon Grayson has been left delighted with Sunderland’s transfer dealings over the summer window.

    The Black Cats boss engineered a mass overhaul on Wearside, working tirelessly up until the final second of the window to recruit 10 new faces.

    With deadline day signings Marc Wilson, Jonny Williams and Callum McManaman rounding off the lads’ summer spree, Grayson has shared his pleasure with safc.com following a hectic summer of activity

    “Marc Wilson (is a) centre-half (and) he plays for the Republic of Ireland, we are delighted to beat competition from Premier League clubs to get him,” he said.

    “His experience will be vital and he can play as a holding midfield player as well so we are delighted that he has turned down those opportunities to come here.

    “He is looking to play regular first-team football which he will get here and he knows quite a lot of the lads so it will make an easily transition for settling in.

    “Jonny Williams is an attacking midfield player and part of the Welsh squad,” he continued.

    “He played in the Euros (last year) and comes on loan from Crystal Palace. He has great commitment and when we agreed the deal he drove eight hours from Cardiff to get here.

    “He showed his commitment, he is a tidy footballer and he is the kind of player who will get on the ball and make things happen.

    “We also did Callum McManaman from West Brom. He is a quick winger who likes to run at people, take you up the pitch and all these players are looking to strengthen the squad and help contribute to a successful season.

    “We are delighted to have all three and I think it rounds off which has probably been a good window for us.”

    Why? Think most people understand we're early in a rebuild. The club is in an awful state. I think most people understand it takes time.

    The last thing which will be testing my sanity is Sunderland this season. I'm at peace that it's going to be hit and miss season. We're laying the first blocks in a long recovery. You'll get no angry projection with me other than to idiots who take to twitter and show their lack of reason to our plight. They'll make our situation worse, they always do. Cause they want it all and they want it now and when they don't get it they become pure poison to the club. I intend to embrace or weakness this season know it's a work in progress and I'm going to enjoy it, where ever in the league we maybe.

    It's an old photo of me pulling a face in a trilby and tweed jacket. I might be a stud muffin under these rolls of fat. Who's to say? :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    I totally agree Teesside. Infact I just texted my cousin, a season ticket holder, a similar message with the proviso - injuries allowing as we have at least 2 additional injury prone deadline dayers
    All in all <applause> for me atm

    True but at least we haven't broken the bank in our efforts to get out of the top feeder league
    Now we'll just need to watch and hope :emoticon-0112-wonde and :emoticon-0107-sweat

    Yes he did mate. Thats where Man Utd played him.
    Wilson can play in midfield aswell. We have lots of options.
