Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

[CR17]

You're mischaracterising me a little bit here; I said I'm not convinced we sign a centre back, not that we will in fact not sign one or that I don't want to sign one.

Relegation being viewed by the club as a disappointing inconvenience, meaning we will not sway from the path, that we will persist with the plan and immediately switch to prioritising promotion to get back on track. Relegation would not be a catastrophic event resulting in the current ownership abandoning ship.

I'll change my wording, I still don't see why you'd be convinced we won't sign one though

 

[Smug in Boots]

No smug, they don't. You've made that up pal

That's the impression I get from the impression they give and my opinion so not made up ...

... besides you can't speak for other people.

I say sack the season off and just keep the transfer window going forever instead. We can occasionally play a friendly.

It's more like a computer game than football at the moment imo, I'm sure some will see it as an anti-climax when the window closes.

****ing hell is anybody actually looking forward to the season? Nowt wrong with hoping for the best you know? What's the worst that could happen? I'd absolutely hate to live life like some on here do tbh.


Footballs ment to be a bit of fun and something to enjoy, this is the best the clubs been ran in my lifetime and im sure as **** not gona waste it by being worried about **** that I can't control at all.

To be convinced means to be completely certain. Can you say you're completely certain we'll sign a centre back? If yes, good on you, but I think there's a little bit of room there that makes me less confident about it, yet I remain hopeful.

 

[Chadm93]

Reports are that we made DCL an offer

I'd be very shocked if we don't manage to by September 1st mind. I can't see RLB being too happy with that either haha

Yeah I seen that, I think it was weeks ago before we moved on to guiu though. He seems to be demanding quite high wages for someone who's not all that good and always injured

I'm not 100% certain we'll show up for the first game at all, but I'm basically as confident as I can be.

When the manager comes out and says we want to sign a CB I become similarly confident that it will happen. Can't be 100% certain about anything so seems such a nothing point from you there.

As Jim said I am as certain as i possibly can be.

He's part of the recruitment process at Sunderland ...

... it's not like some other clubs whereby a DOF, or whatever, brings in player independent of the manager.

I agree, it was a throwaway comment that seemed to animate quite a few on here, people feel what you write more then read what you write sometimes.

Yeah I know which is why I think we will get one too

Relegations finished Bob Murray's and Ellis Short's time at the club, I don't have that fear with KLD.

Newcastle are absolutely poison at the moment aren't they ...

... even Man Utd, who were toxic themselves last season, look a tastier proposition
