3 signings left to make and nowhere near enough goals in the squad. Hmmm.

 

[Father Jack Hackett]

Fair enough marra. Really concerned at the lack of goal threat in our squad, though, if Graham arrives. With only three more spots left to fill - and expecting them to be another centre half, a lwb and a keeper - there just aren’t enough goals in the squad for me.

I completely agree mate. That's been our Achilles heel since Maja left.
I'd love us to get a pacey up and coming striker in the mould of Lyle Taylor but that would involve actually scouting players and having people at the top with some knowledge.

William Storey provided a key update on his proposed bid to takeover Sunderland. The Rich Energy CEO said he expects “confirmation on moving North soon” with the belief owners should live locally as he shared a picture of a Riverside Sunderland project on social media. (Twitter)

So basically this comment seems to allude to the fact he isn't going to handle things and that the actually the people who will take charge will be local people. Surely this has to be a good thing. I mean the actual people who will be responsible will be local people and that Storey will only supply the cash and he does say he has an awful lot of it going on his visions he has expressed for the club.

Why would that be a logical step?

Why wouldn't it.

That could be rectified with one signing though. If we dont sign a striker capable of getting 15-20 league goals we wont be promoted

The two lads are squad fillers. Graham though, I wanted to see us be ambitious and go for a player who may have sell on value like Tyler Walker. Seems like the initial names we were linked to have disappeared since the salary cap, underwhelming?

Lads any new update please on potential takeover since last night?

nope

On Football Manager you can't sign anyone during a takeover so nowt must be happening.

 

[safc_stevo]

Will this lad sign today also?

I'm not too excited about this defender from Everton but we do have 2 of the best central defenders in this league in Willis and Wright imo

Seems to get half decent reports from Everton fans, but I doubt he’ll be starting anyway. Cant grumble personally.

 

[scott934]

Probably sorted for 5 centre halves now, especially if we're only dishing out 1 year deals.

 

[biggie]

Disappointed he’s not signing would have been a very good signing

Storey doesnt actually have any cash of his own...

Yet still in League one.

You’ve come to the wrong place. As the title suggests, this is a thread about recruitment strategy and transfer tittle-tattle. (No)

Not a shred of evidence in a month.

Im sure you can still sing free agents on it

Some people’s tins must be frozen by now
