What we need

Should have tried to buy this guy two years back when he was still at Brighton with Poyet. I thought Leeds had him tied up but............

you've motioned him several times in the past sparks, including last season. industrious player with a bite to him. don't think that has changed.

Would still like to see 5 in the middle of the park with licence to get forward given to 2 of the mids.

 

He'd be an excellent addition.

 

Always puts in a shift and a boot from time to time. He would stiffen the resolve in the middle of the park and provide much needed energy.

Hope this is right.

Still need someone to establish a close and personal relationship with the back of the onion bag though.

 

It would show some ambition by the club.

Can't se him coming here though.

Like to see a loanee striker. Mason needs time in the stiffs.

 

Hope so, could be just the xmas pressie us guys been waiting for?

 

I'm not in anyway ITK, but I've heard that Lewis Grabban is being looked at. He's not flavour of the month with Neil at Norwich and they might look to put him out on loan.

That would surprise me as they've already let another striker Gary Hooper go to the Wendies on loan.

Not sure about Grabban though - proven goalscorer at this level but apparently has a bit of an attitude and can be a bit difficult to handle. Don't they also have Kyle Lafferty sitting out some games?

 

Grabban would be a huge improvement on Mason imo. Those 2 signed on loan would give us a very good chance of bothering the playoffs and having the tools to do something when we got there.

 

Grabban would have to eat a bit of humble pie in coming here - having turned us down once before. However, if he is surplus to requirements at Norwich it would be a good opportunity to show what he can do by coming to us and getting regular games. Would certainly add much needed pace upfront.

 

And he actually knows where the back of the net is.

 

A lot of his goals at Bournemouth were from penalties. He is very good at falling over in the box.

 

BFB.... he can fall over over as many times as he likes as long as its in the box and not like Mc Cormack in the bar LOL

 

We don't need Bridcutt. We need players who can attack with pace.

Plus he can't get a look in with a crap Sunderland.

I'd rather bring back O Sullivan and give him a go.

 

Different players altogether. Bridcutt is energetic and aggressive playing across the park in front of the back 4 - O'Sullivan is more creative playing much further up field.

If you're saying that O'Sullivan shouldn't have been put out on loan and kept with the first team squad then I agree. Slade has said he dwells the ball too long - that shows how inept a manager the guy really is.

Crap Sunderland team or not, the question is whether Bridcutt is a better option and would bring more to the side than Dikgacoi or Gunnar. On pace alone the answer is a huge yes. It's all very well putting your foot in, but if you're as slow off the mark and over the ground as those two, a quick opposition midielder can leave them for dead.

 

What price someone like Grabban right now?

Another bloody sicknote. Grab Grabban now!!!!

And Bridcutt.

Both needed if there is any desire to progress.

 

Pity as he'd shown promise until it went.

Grabban would be a much better addition then Bridcutt if the budget is tight.

 

But if there is ambition, more than contentment with being a play off fringe club, then we should go for both.

Get some balls, on and off the pitch.

It would also encourage fans to come back.

 

he seems to have persistent problems.

 

Should they have brought in a guy who just had a long term injury?

Revell has gone, so presumably someone will be brought in on loan.
