On a serious point, football journalism has been getting worse for years, but any "super computer prediction" articles are probably the worst and most lazy articles out there. They only exist as click bait at best and are an insult to peoples intelligence, so pointless they might as well have not been written.

Agree i was just trying to be light hearted as the thread has been fairly depressing over the last day or so

Seriously I do think it will be a tough season but you never know with this lot

I do read into his comments and it does kinda feel like we might be struggling to land signings atm comments and tone wise.

“I think we probably still need to sign a goalkeeper,” said the Sunderland boss. “The market is still open, although the market is unpredictable and it is always like that.

“At the minute, we are focused on the squad we have – that is always the case – but obviously we will also be trying to reinforce the squad. We don’t know when, and we don’t know how exactly, but we are working hard behind the scenes.”

Probably just RLB being his usual can’t give much away self like but it does feel like we’ve stagnated last couple of weeks

That's where you're going wrong mate …

… as you say there’s a long way to go yet.

Perhaps getting some early business done gave us the chance to sit back a bit and bid lower. It’s possible we’d have gone in much stronger, with Xhaka, if he’d been our first signing.

Transfer threads always become weird and people who never post are suddenly on the board winding themselves up …

… they always attract ‘new members’ as well for some reason.

Burnley have already signed 10 players.
2x LB/LW/RB/RW. A GK from the German second division and a forward from the Championship.

They’ve not replaced Egan or Trafford and their CM’s look incredible weak. You’d feel they still need to bring in at least another 5 or 6. Then they’ve got to try and make them all gel very quickly.

I’d rather keep doing what we are doing and targeting quality for each position and not just bringing bodies in for the sake of it.

Is a good keeper like, but he's no Trafford - assume they want a new #1

Tbf I think anyone can see with our current defense and goalkeeper situation that’s not going to fend well in the PL

Whereas so far Leeds have concentrated on their defence with a Goalkeeper, centre backs and centre midfielders. Not a bad policy on the basis that if you don’t concede many you’ve always got a chance of a point or knicking 3 points. They probably feel there in a better position than us as things stand currently. Now that could / will change by the time the window closes

There’s no point in anyone comparing knob size until April at the earliest.

Not really, anyone can read this forum or any other ...

... and, in reality, most of what's on here isn't really news.

Absolutely, they were better than us last season too and we’ve lost 2 regulars (Mepham and Jobe)

See where we’re at come September though, a lot of work to be done
