Yeah I said we’d take a LW and a striker

shows stuff is being done quietly though

We've been looking into the south American market for AGES, but never seem to quite pull the trigger. Wonder if we will this time. It would have to break soon though to be done in time.
 
This screams of a CF who is 22-25 coming out of France who has scored 10-12 goals in Ligue 1 last season on the final day doesn't it. Probs like €4.75m deal or someshit <laugh>
Akor Adams. Vaguely linked to us last summer. Started at Montpellier like a house on fire but tailed off. He'd do.

Phil smith said that the club want two forwards, either 2 strikers or a striker and a winger.
Yeah the club seemed to create an expectation around that via off-the-record info. That being said, I'd be quite interested in Tom Watson being winger. The chatter about the Mexican winger seems to indicate that it's still a live aim, though.

Good - they’re needed

Mundle played well on Saturday but he’s 21 and still inexperienced, can’t be relied upon every week

I really hope we sign a striker and another who can operate out wide.
 
Funny that I was well up for Simic, but because he's opting for Cardiff, I'm now no longer arsed at all.

If he actually thinks joining Cardiff and then loaned out to Belgium is a better career move than coming to Sunderland, then he obviously has zero confidence in his ability, and his career will amount to nothing.

I probably look bitter as **** saying that, but I only want players here who want to be here, and picking ****ing Cardiff over us tells you everything you need to know about him.

Something odd about that though but who cares

they are bottom of the league

Cardiff could be offering much better wages, we’ll never really know

Footballers think differently to us supporters too. He or the people around him might not see much of a difference to Sunderland and Cardiff at this moment in time.
