still dont think we should be rushing to sign anybody else unless they are no questions asked our top target.

We don't want to sign our 5th choice striker because we cant afford our first 4 choice strikers.... and THEN get an offer we want / need to accept for Clarke for example.

We should wait a while IMO. See how the market is going. I appreciate we dont want to go into the first game with "just" Hemir as a striker but I think its worth holding off until we know what our budget is. Wouldn't it be great if we could spend £7m on a top, top striker in august?

In an ideal world we'd forget about selling any of our players... get them all to sign new contracts, and then just sign players now based on not selling anybody. But I think realistically there's a chance Burnley or others panic later in window and start throwing money about.

Ideally we sign players we want, before any sales. Much harder to agree a price if you have just banked £15m from a player sale. I would be surprised if we arent looking at overseas markets for these two deals, where we can get excellent players for much less than in the UK. If we then go and sell one that money can be used on other things like the academy, wages/bonuses.

I agree but, especially if we are signing long term players for the future, there's a risk to signing players now and securing them onto long deals that then tie us to them, when we could be playing in a different ball park financially if we are more patient.

100% agree with what you've said so its finding a balance.

I think also though if we’re signing from overseas and we might need them to start earlier is better. Especially forwards at this point.

Sunderland will look to repeat the success of last season's Premier League loan deals - but only if the budget is still there after their main summer recruitment drive, says Tony Mowbray. The Black Cats brought in Manchester United forward Amad and Everton striker Ellis Simms last summer and both players proved a huge hit on Wearside, while Joe Gelhardt joined from Leeds United in January and also made an important contribution as the club secured a play-off spot on its return to the Championship.https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/spo...tony-mowbray-sets-out-sunderlands-27293288?t=
