The reality is that we have signed strikers. Speakman has signed, what, 8 to date is it? The issue is that at the price point and wages we can currently afford were looking at dice rolls. The dice rolls over the past couple of years haven’t worked. And the idea that we just don’t take as many rolls and lump all that cash together to get a surer thing (if such a thing exists) is an oversimplification. If we’d had a stewart-like success in recent windows nobody would mention it. Truth is all the stuff regarding ‘proven championship’ and ‘experience’ is smoke and mirrors. What people want is success. Sure it’ll happen at some point. It’s not like they have no track record whatsoever of it.
Jobe was good 1st half, but struggled 2nd half. Wasnt for a lack of trying but he started to drop too deepI heard that we seemed to miss the finishing touch again. Let’s hope we can get someone in before Cardiff just to get them bedded in as much as we can. Heard Browne played well and Jobe wasn’t too good. I still think AA should be in that midfield 3.
we aren’t too far off I don’t think
Not surprised. Hope a couple others are on the exit list as well.You must log in or register to see media

Really think Aouchiche will provide that creative spark to link the midfield to the attack a bit more seamlesslyJobe was good 1st half, but struggled 2nd half. Wasnt for a lack of trying but he started to drop too deep

Ekwah was injured I think and I think we see Hjelde on Tuesday maybe.cheers for posting, that answers my questions re Ekwah and Hjelde
We missed the final pass a lot more than we missed the finishing touch tbh.I heard that we seemed to miss the finishing touch again.

If stansfield is going for 6m. I’d sell ekwah to get some funds for that personally. That midfield 3 seems stacked
just said the exact same thing to one of the lads, I like Ekwah but I have a feeling that to go to something like 6 mill someone will have to leave.
id love stansfield here, think he is the perfect fit for how we play
Have to convince him to move that far north. We couldn't do that before. Devon lad.

Should be aiming to sell a player for a big fee every summer. Always see people saying they don't want us to be a selling club, but I see selling players as a good thing. Aslong as you have a good recruitment team, which I think we do, it allows you to grow.I agree - but people keep saying we don’t need to sell and we’ll spend the money on the right players so if that’s the case it begs the question who is the right player..
For what it’s worth I do think we’ll sign a striker but not having one ready to go when the season starts in 2 weeks isn’t great.
Blows my hopes of Hemir turning up this seasonYou must log in or register to see media

I'll be looking on, with great interest, to see what happens with Burstow.
He's a young 6'2" athlete who's being paid by a top London club and has been involved in football all his life ...
... I'm just amazed he could look so disinterested in playing the game.
I'm starting to wonder if 'success' for some of these young lads is getting their first Porsche and Rolex.
I doubt the Sunderland kit man ever had to wash his shirt tbh.
