The way things are going it seems very possible at the end of the window we will be putting out a first 11, none of who were ‘our’ players when we got promoted.
Ballard, Hume and Mayenda/Wilson are the only ones currently first 11 but we’re looking for 2 x CB, a striker and probably another RB.
Le Fee didn’t become ours until after we got promoted.

Seems a bit unfair but we will have a great subs bench.

it’s not unfair

it’s necessary
 
Been the ‘saleable asset’ that’s made the most sense for a while and I don’t mind Patto personally would like to see how he reacts to competition but feel he could be off especially if Neil goes, they’re very close

shifting him and Neil considering the depth we’re building is a no brainer now for massive psr headroom and really blows the lid off the war chest

Or at the very least makes any spending insanely manageable financially

and we’ve got to remember we’ve got a golden egg in rigg for more psr headroom to come

we must have the most impatient fanbase going when it comes to announcing players.

“has the keeper died”

“there must be an issue”

“Cancel kyril’s credit card”

just wait until it’s announced ffs
And there we have it, 10am the next morning and it’s announced.
 
we all know that Patto needed stronger competiton for the No1 jersey

maybe this is the rocket he needs, but I can see him or Moore being sold.

I have said a few times that our best chance of survival is if we completely upgrade the entire team, except for Le Fee
 
We signed 10 players in the summer after promotion from L1 and then another 4 in the January. The amount of business we are doing can't be a surprise to people.
We needed to hit the ground running and we’ve done that at a ten fold.

the recruitment team deserve a huge pat on the back, we only need 2 cbs and a bit more depth and we’re done and it’s only the 1st August.

usually we’re sweating a bit before we kick a ball and are praying for late breakthroughs.
 
I guess the only counter to that is that getting a sub keeper in of a reasonable standard for a minimal amount can be tough - and you can’t get any cheaper than free! But given the size of our PSR number this coming season, we could certainly do with getting some decent money coming in the other direction.
Weve brought in about £45 million on sales (£50 including ekwah)

triantis chance to be sold. Neil maybe too. We will have brought in a lot

And he needs to be played deeper. It’s why I think Guiu is a good signing. Le Fee needs to be close to the other two midfield lads picking pockets then breaking not competing against centre backs with his back to goal but neither Mayenda or Isidor are made for a more isolated role.

Well,this is Sunderland and we might still be sweating,but I agree the recruitment has been outstanding so far. If we dare to dream that we can get a top,strong,pacy CB in in the next few days,I would be delighted with our squad.
The focus for the rest of August will be outgoings.
 
Signings are not a simple case of 'b' follows 'a' and 'c' follows 'b'. We have "irons in the fire", it may take time to get them "over the line", but it doesn't mean we're not prioritising them.

Yeah i agree but didn’t say anywhere we weren’t prioritizing them in fact i actually alluded to the club actively looking to add centre halves.

I’m not criticising them just pointing out I think that we are desperate for quality in those positions
 
How much would we realistically get for Patto and Neil who only has a year left on his contract. Maybe 15m for both? 20 at a push.
 
He is slimmer now. Been grafting with a private PT and is in shape. Unfortunately, some of his habbits still not in keeping with a PL footballer. I'll say no more.
Must be keeping the cottage open, dont know anyone else who drinks in there and I live 10 minute walk away.
