I think we do in certain positions but id say wingers are fine to be exciting prospects since they wont start ahead of roberts clarke n Ba. I still want an experienced cf n a cdm as think thats where we lack experience at the minute

I think signing an exciting winger is a great thing

Dont think jewi has developed as theyve expected, hope he smashes his loan move though

been thinking about this a bit and if we did get an experienced striker in we’d have 5 strikers fighting for one spot and it would stop our own strikers getting any game time at all, I mean they hardly get any right now anyway never mind if we had a Moore for example.

Funny thing, talking to one if the “negative brigade” this morning. He’s complaining about no signings. Then says Boro have signed “Luke somebody who we were after”. I ask if he’s any good, he doesn’t know. I then mention that Hjelde is nearly done, he says ‘who’s he, never heard of him”.

Embarrassing! Never heard of the lad Boro signed, complaining we didn’t sign him, we sign someone he’s never heard of, complaining because he doesn’t know him! Some of our so called fans are ridiculous!

Yeah its always a balancing act, i think its ok for us tho as hemir n mayenda need time to just settled into the county so fine them playing u21 foorball this season imo. Rusyn is slightly different but hopefully he will still get plenty minutes between now n the end of the season

Burstow isnt ours so while i hope he does well for us hes the least priority of the ones weve got

£8m + £7m in performance based add ons.

25% go to Man City.

So they only get £6m now.

Honestly I think they should have held out for more, as silly as that sounds.

Good turnaround for them still tbf £5m profit in the space of 6 months for a bit part player and potentially more bonuses to come.

Nobodies seen him play because he’s barely kicked a ball :emoticon-0102-bigsm if he can’t get a game in Belgium and they’re offloading him 6 months after signing him what makes you think he’s going to improve us right now which is what we need. We’ve got any amounts of talent who already cant get on the pitch.

Why does every player we sign have to be for right now, can we not sign players for now and the future in the same transfer window. I've said it before if we sell Clarke, Neil etc in the next 6, 12, 18 months does it not make sense we have their replacements on board before they go and then it's stops the situation arising where we are short in 1 or 2 positions.
Why does it seem people only want to sign the players we need right now in each transfer window.
We are building something different here, the signings we made in the summer , now and probably this summer coming will probably what we need in 12 to 18 months that's how this model will work.
However if your starting from scratch its going to take 24 to 36 months for the ground work to take effect where we have ready made replacements in place for each position.
Yes they will also need to sign players that will fit in right now to keep the team progressing till everything is in place.
Gone are the days when the club will spend silly money on wages and fees just to compete in the current season, that's what ended up with us in league one so I'm happy those days are over.
I'm sure every fan wants us to sign a CDM and CF that will come in and hit the ground running but that is not the only business the club will be looking at in a transfer window

It’s only one game and we could of course get overrun next game but Burstow Saturday and Rusyn last night leave me less at exasperation stage up front than previously. It feels like both and Mayenda, maybe Hemir will improve but regular goals are scarce other than the one person who could get injured so I’m less worried than this time last week but it’s still a massive gamble. I wasn’t particularly encouraged about defensive midfield however, I still think that was too open. I think the adjustments made by the coaching team improved us but less so in the hole behind midfield.

If when we came up to the Championship and said that we would get to the playoffs and are on the fringe of the playoffs again this year I would have snapped your hand off , the new management team have rejuvenated the club in a good way . The fact that we are a young team does not alter the fact that we are one of the best teams in what is being regarded as one of the strongest most competitive championship leagues for a long time and the KIDS are more than holding their own . The value of our squad compared to around five years ago is immense compared to the mercenaries , journeymen , and has been that wore our shirt - As for me I think KLD and Speakman have done well and the Kids are doing more than alright lon may it continue !!!

That's why I think Diallo was our problem last year, he scored some unbelievable goals from nothing that won us games.
Had we not had him I think we may have finished 10-12th which would have been a good season for our first season back, then this season would have been more of a progression than it actually looks

Sunderland AFC forward Jewison Bennette has joined Aris FC on loan.

The 19-year-old will spend the remainder of the season with the Thessaloniki-based side, who are currently placed fifth in Super League Greece.

Since moving to the Stadium of Light in August 2022, Bennette has made 20 senior appearances for the Club, contributing two goals and two assists.

The Costa Rica international, who has featured for his nation on 12 occasions, also represented Los Ticos at the 2022 FIFA World Cup following his arrival on Wearside.

Sporting Director Kristjaan Speakman said: “We want to increase Jewison’s playing opportunities over the second part of the season and provide him the best chance for international selection - through both of these, we create the best conditions for him to return in the summer for our pre-season programme. There is no option or obligation in the agreement to convert it into a permanent move and it’s very much about the player’s development. We look forward to supporting Jewison’s progress from afar throughout the next few months.”
