Aye but his news was, the striker wants to join and is waiting for the clubs to finalise a deal. Surely if that was true he wouldn’t be in the squad
He said the same about simic yesterday mate, let’s see what happens by 11pm before we all hit the panic button

honestly don’t think he’s the player I convinced myself he is. At that fee, with that low sell on, half of Europe would have wanted the player I thought he was.

Can only think he was mixed up with someone else. Either the club looked at him as a development player but and chose not to go with him and we (fans) mixed up up with someone else, or the club thought he was someone different until we had a close look, had happened before (cough, Milton Nunez, cough). For that deal he could not be rated at €12million a year ago.
 
Also, and I promise I’m not trying to sound “I told you so”, as I’ve kept saying today, the fact no concrete links to any strikers have happened today, other than the young lad, was worrying to me. All the signs are pointing to no striker coming in and I think it was nothing other than blind faith and hope that there is.

there’s a difference between the club talking to good players and actually being in the process of signing them in the real world
 
Bournemouth defender
2 midfielder
1 striker

Better ****ing not be that lad from Gent with 60 seconds of professional football under his belt

Surely not, will be inexcusable if he’s who they are bringing in up front.
I won’t get worried until 11pm though.

If that is who we bring in (not saying it will be) then KLD and KS will lose my support (am sure they'll be devastated)

Yeah same here I think mate, I’ve been very positive so far but it’s clear what we need to do so I’m hoping they get somebody across the line who will make a difference.

To be fair, when he leads with "Chances of Sunderland signing Gift Orban from Lyon today are looking pretty good right now"...it's kind of hard not to think he's full of absolute ****e the second Orban is named in the Lyon team tonight.

He's said it to get clicks on his articles man.

It was always a hail mary as the yanks like to say, he has a profile big enough to get a club in one of the top-5 leagues, probably even in a European competition.

In the past we have struggled to offer competitive fees and wages but we are told that this is the sustainability model and that is fine. They have (effectively) £20m sitting in the bank to get a striker. It will be unforgiveable if they fail again

How do you know we didn't sign a striker last night and are waiting for a dramatic 10pm announcement? Too many on here desperate to slag the club off
Why would we do that? If we did the club would deserve criticism for playing silly buggers.

If you think my post is slagging the club off then I give up. It is an opinion not expressed in a way that is quite neutral.
