Totally agree .We’re nowhere near as bad a position as some are making out.
If we have to rely on untested kids in the championship then that would be a disasterTotally agree .
We have real competition in goal
Arguably the most natural wb we've had in Da Silva , hugely promising Van Ewijk on the other side .
Young ,talented centre backs on long term deals
Midfield is light but Sheaf and Eccles have been impressive within their roles so far and are both tied down to long deals
In attacking areas we have Ayari on loan , the exciting Sakamoto and Palmer with O' Hare and Allen to return before Xmas
And two big money signings up top
There are gaps in the squad but we are least own the vast majority of it and with Obikwu,Eghosa and Andrews we have exciting players emerging .
Would love a push again and I think we will be in and around the playoffs again but the planning is obvious and the stability within the squad bodes well
Or Best was sold to be replaced by the loan signings of Stead and Sears.No deal is probably better than a bad deal to be honest, we could do with some extra players but at the right price only. God, think back to when we rushed to spend the Mcsheffrey windfall on Kyle and McKenzie

I wouldn't suggest we would have to rely on them I was merely pointing out that all of them will be in and around the squad this season . That can only be a good thing surely ?If we have to rely on untested kids in the championship then that would be a disaster

What was that again, about 15k and a Mars Bar?Or spending the Vincelot windfall on Jordan Turnbull
I think Steven Pressley snuck back in to deep fry one in exchange for accepting being ‘banished’ once and for allWhat was that again, about 15k and a Mars Bar?
Yeh I thought he improved Sunderland when he came on last week. Finds space well and passing was quick and accurate.Looks like Pritchard could also be on the move. very talented CM.
2 year deal ?Yeh I thought he improved Sunderland when he came on last week. Finds space well and passing was quick and accurate.
At 30 doesn’t really fit the type of player we go for but I wouldn’t be disappointed if we did.
Yeh not a bad shout for me if we can’t get who we really want for the hamer replacement he might be good to have on a two year deal to see us through to jan/next summer when the right players become available.2 year deal ?
He is nowhere near the same type of player as Hamer so I think this would be pointless.2 year deal ?

See everyone saying we sold hamer three weeks ago and we’ve got no one in I understand the frustration. But for me I have no doubt we’ve been in for players that we just haven’t got over the line for whatever reason or have been beaten to key targets.
This is gonna happen, it seems a lot of champ clubs are in for the same players this summer but I’d rather us not panic and overpay for someone. I would say we have a decent mid table squad as it is and this is 5 year plan. Yes we need some bodies tomorrow but if it’s not gigantic fees or not the marquee signing we all want then I still think we will be fine. We might be able to get someone really decent in jan whose contract is running down and use the hamer money then.
How do you jump to that conclusion? Simms has only played in a 2 for us. Get off the lads back. You sound mental.Simms doesn’t look like he can play on his own. We need o hare back badly, without rushing him
Sort of was, was the feeI dunno - selling highfield road before we had a ground to go to meaning we were paying big sums to rent it back was the start. As you said ITV digital going bump + the 113m noose around our neck from that point onwards was definitely the catalyst. Not the transfer fees
WTF i never made that post aboveSort of was, was the fee
Russian hackers have got you mate.WTF i never made that post above
Come on Matt let’s not go overboard.I would do yes
rather than leaving us ridiculously short
If we don’t sign anyone and sheaf gets injured we’re screwed. Hopefully today brings good newsCome on Matt let’s not go overboard.
we aren't though are we.If we don’t sign anyone and sheaf gets injured we’re screwed. Hopefully today brings good news
We also don’t want to be paying over the odds for a mediocre player. There’s has to be a time you walk away from a dealIf we don’t sign anyone and sheaf gets injured we’re screwed. Hopefully today brings good news
Yeah fair enough mateWe also don’t want to be paying over the odds for a mediocre player. There’s has to be a time you walk away from a deal
Allen isnt fit at the moment and he’s better further forward.we aren't though are we.
Allen has played in the deeper role before too.
Stop being a drama queen
Let us not all of a sudden forget the Swedish International that Brighton paid 5 million pounds for. He'll be more than capable in the middle.Allen isnt fit at the moment and he’s better further forward.
leaves Eccles and Kelly as the only midfielders if he gets injured currently
Yeah probably right just thought he’d play further up tomLet us not all of a sudden forget the Swedish International that Brighton paid 5 million pounds for. He'll be more than capable in the middle.

Feel like he'll do a bit of both.Yeah probably right just thought he’d play further up tom
Is that it??robins is hoping to get 1 more in today
AYARI?Allen isnt fit at the moment and he’s better further forward.

We should be getting in another loan minimum.I do agree it would be a pretty big error not to bring in another CM, I wouldn't be happy either, but we could be ok if Ayari gets up to speed and slots in there.

Bidwell is essential to the squad, unless we bring in another defender.Deadline day...ins and outs
In - has to be one in
Out - Rus on loan, Moore mutual termination, bidwell sold,
A solid 6/7 every game it’s a yes from me.Bidwell is essential to the squad, unless we bring in another defender.
1 player coming in today , hopefully it will be a dynamic midfielder.
