I’m reserving judgement on our recruitment of a striker(s) until the window closes. I’m not concerned at the moment and am sure it will be sorted. They won’t get away with things ‘not materialising’ this window - simply has to happen, and needs to be someone ready to go straight in to the starting line-up.
Di Canio's knees on RTG is still quite adamant the Mendy deal was agreed and will happen

They’re in big trouble if they don’t get their act together.

Sold some quality players for good fees, but have only brought in that Giles & Drameh as full back options.

They still need to replace Greaves, Philogene & Tufan.
 
Blackburn have signed 3 strikers in the last 24 hours.

1 with 11 goals in 32 last season who is 6ft 4 and 26.
1 with 16 in 37 last season who is 28.
1 for the future who is 19 from Nantes.

Yep, no excuses this time.
Imagine if we'd done this with keepers. Playing O9 in goal <laugh>
 
Apparently Kieffer Moore was at the airport about to fly to Turkey to meet them at their training camp but Sheff Utd hijacked the deal and now Thomas-Asante was at the stadium and Coventry have hijacked the deal. My head would explode

I can't remember any of Speakman's signings causing us the slightest embarrassment. Presumably that's because they're well vetted and unlikely to upset the rest of the squad. Players like Ballard could quite easily push for a move and possibly double their wages.

Players like these two clearly have zero loyalty and little integrity ...

... not what I'd like to see at Sunderland in all honesty.
 
If players can do this it's no wonder clubs like ourselves are struggling to get a striker over the line.
Players have no shame anymore.

It's all about the money,mate. And,when their integrity/honesty is challenged......I couldn't turn it down! You could....but your agent/family/your own greed wouldn't let you!
Hello,modern life.

Good for them. Not one of those signings has ever played in the Championship so those stats are irrelevant
Don't agree personally, Mendy is going to be exactly the same. It's still proof of them being able to score goals. Not one of the 4 who arrived last summer had that in their CV's so would be an upgrade straight away. Rusyn was the best and his CV was scoring 13 goals from LW in his best season

Just for context, Gueye scored 2 goals since October
Ohashi plays mainly as a No.10 in the J league
Mafoumbi has 0 mins in senior football

Ohashi mainly plays upfront mate

We haven't signed Mendy, so comparisons are irrelevant. Your initial point implied that Blackburn have signed 3 strikers so why haven't we done anything? I added additional context to show that none of these 3 signings were anything to get excited about.

He's the only striker we have heard anything about at all
 
If Mendy is that good is nobody worried that some other club, Hull for example, might come in to do to us what Coventry are doing to Hull regarding Asante.

I know other clubs in Europe and Middle East are interested in him but I’ve not heard of any interest from the Championship for him.
Now that clubs are aware of him and the time it’s taking us to get him they would not be doing their job properly if a really decent striker was going for a relatively low fee and they didn’t look into hijacking the move.

Of course, maybe they don’t rate him and nobody else wants him, just us.
