If Phil Parkinson is wanting to try get fans on side, other than winning games he needs to be signing players who can excite the fans and give us something different.

Lafferty is the polar opposite to this. Another journeyman who is way past his best (if he ever had one) and has been at 11 clubs during his career. Would suggest the comments around being a troublemaker are correct...

You would think that as a club we would learn about signing players coming to the end of their careers and wanting one big last payday...
I wouldn’t count Billy Sharp in that trouble is he wouldn’t come but he could fire us out of this league

If thes no money he can only do what he can

Oh I agree that he is limited, it is league one and we don't know what the budgets are.

However! At the same time, surely you can enquire about fringe/reserve players in the Premiership/Championship who are hungry to show what they are capable of. Realise this would likely be loans only however some may be getting to the age of 21-24 and haven't capitalised on the promise they initially showed and the club wants rid.

Examples being John Egan and Connor Hourihane... We deemed them not to be good enough and let them go... now they are flourishing.

Did we ever have him on our books? I'm having a mental blank.
 
It goes round in circles, Donald is not wealthy enough to own Sunderland, but we need better players than we have got...

He says we are up for sale... but no takers by the sound of it...

Are we up the proverbial creek without a paddle?
 
Must be pretty close though. His record is shocking, I live in Norwich and he was a bit of a joke here, and that was when he was in his prime. 2 goals in 31 games speaks for itself. He's now over the hill, and his record has only gotten worse. 1 in 9 in the Norwegian league ffs <doh>.

I really ****ing hope these links with the Glenn Whelan's and Kyle Lafferty's of this world are nothing more than lazy journalism. God help us if that's the type of player Donald and co. are looking at <yikes>

I've seen these two linked and they're the most Sunderland signings that could be made this window. It's astonishing how we make the same mistakes so often. Signing players based on a name and a reputation of a few years ago rather than what they offer right now. I'd rather play Mumba and Kimpioka than sign these 2.

Edit: Madine can **** off too!
 
A trouble making, womanising, piss head, who’s best days look well and truly behind him. Just what we need <doh>

I hate league one.
I love a p
See that Lewie Doyle has decided to sign for Fleetwood. We're ****ing useless man, end up with some right ****e on the last day of the window.
Do you mean. Lewie Coyle?
He has been there on loan since 2017 and is more than likely well settled.

We made the right decision in letting Egan and Hourihane leave the club.

We were playing at a high level and had players way better than them. They needed to drop down and learn their trade and that’s what happened.
