Very promising:

"You just have to watch this space," said Mowbray.

"Maybe the end of the international break or during the international break, there might be the potential that he plays an internal in-house game or something like that. That's how close he is I think, in my mind, but let's wait and see.

"I just think it's a nice feeling to think we sign a striker or two this week and then Ross Stewart gets fit as well and all of a sudden we've got three new strikers, then the young French kid (Eliezer Mayenda) gets fit and it's four new strikers, then there's Hemir, five strikers and I'll be moaning we've got too many.

"Let's wait and see. Ross fit would be a huge boost because of the impact he makes in the dressing room in the group. He's a very well thought of footballer at this club."

Regarding new contract:

He said: “I genuinely don’t think the club are over-stressing on it. What did he cost? It certainly wasn’t millions and millions.

“I don’t think the club are over-stressing. They’re making him offers that they think are special in the context of where our football club is at the moment. We’re not just trying to give him a good contract – we’re trying to make it an incredibly good contract for him in terms of where he is, and our club is, at the moment."

I have to say I find this all a little offensive ...

... Mowbray is blithely contradicting decent Sunderland supporters who know the truth.

The club were quite happy to sell off Stewart along with Batth, Pritchard, Neil, Clarke, Roberts, Patterson, etc, without bringing in replacements, in the pursuit of profit over ambition. Thankfully people aren't fooled by this attempted cover up from Mowbray who's furious with Speakman but being coerced into repeating the rhetoric ... shame on him for taking the company dollar and calling a French speaking player French, the club is a laughing stock.

It's naive of the club to believe they can fool people when the facts are so readily available from people on the internet

And don't get me started on us refusing to persuade Stansfield to move the length of the country, for one season, to sit on the bench when Stewart's fit :steam:

The no ambition shouts from some of our fans, cause we are a selling club before we have even sold anyone is ****ing mental!

Let's wait until we sell someone and see how it's invested eh!

Lihadji sale didn't even fit the model imo. He came was ****e/disinterested/didn't like it or whatever and his agent or whoever has managed to work sale to a Saudi club getting him more money and less pressure everybody is happy but it wouldn't have been the plan when buying him!

Well he came in from Sochaux, which is in France (about 40Km from where I am now). So some confusion might be allowed ! :emoticon-0100-smile

As disappointing as it is to be going into our 4th league game of the season without a striker, the noises coming out the club yesterday were encouraging - sounds like Rusyn is a goer, Mayenda and Stewart are close to being back, with Seelt & Embo back tomorrow. Finally the injuries are clearing up and we might just have a chance with Stewart and/or Rusyn.

Of course Stansfield not signing has set a few away, notably the WMS whoppers using it as an excuse to further bash Speakman/KLD, but it is what it is and hopefully there are a couple of PL loans lined up late in the window to supplement what we already have

This time a few short years ago our striker shortlist looked like this -

1. Will Grigg.
2. Oh, you wanted more than one name?

This year we've already signed two and may be on the verge of signing another, and we've been strongly linked to plenty of others.

It's called having options.

Did we ever only have Grigg as a striker? Pretty sure him and Wyke overlapped as our most minging squad choices...

Take your point however
