Alexandre Mendy (transfer rumour)

If the striker situation wasn’t bad enough, the cheeky bastards have wound the sensitivity right up in the turnstiles so that whenever I’m within about half a mile of the stadium, it flashes up on my Lock Screen of my phone “Sunderland AFC: Welcome to the Stadium of Light” and brandishes my season ticket and doesn’t go off, to serve as a reminder that I renewed my ticket and have to put up with that kack for another season 😂

Does this happen to anyone else?

My elderly uncle lives next to the stadium and has his phones hooked up to his Bluetooth speaker as he likes to listen to the radio (my other uncle set this up).

Every hour it alerts him to scan his ticket with a loud whistle. The old gits mistakingly been trying to fix his doorbell for the last week.

I don't agree with this, we're almost there but with the glaring issue of no first choice #9 that will hold us back regardless of our strength in depth being fine.

Patterson
Hume Ballard O'Nien Cirkin
Browne Neil Jobe
Roberts Mayenda Clarke

Moore
Pembele Seelt Alese Huggins
Rigg Ekwah Aouchiche
Poveda Rusyn Mundle

That still leaves Ba, Hjelde, Triantis, Bennette, Noukeu, Watson, Hemir and Zak Johnson outside of the two XIs.

Disagree, Cirkin and Alese both sicknotes. Huggins and Seelt are out for a long time, the former also a sick note.

Pembele is shite, Rusyn hasn’t shown much to suggest he was worth the outlay. I’ll give you Rigg, Ekwah, Aouchiche and possibly Mundle. Poveda has a poor injury record and not much return for goals or assists, could turn good but unknown.


The ones outside of your two XIs, half need a loan move. With the exception of Ba who has shown he can offer something.

It's not just those two XIs though.

Noukeu
Johnson Triantis Hjelde Anderson
Ba Matete Embleton
Jewi Hemir Watson

That's three XIs we can put out without properly dipping into the u21s, obviously Embo is about to leave but we've got a big first team squad with strength in depth. We could get by and be fine if we only sign one more player, as long as that one player is a goalscoring striker.

We have depth in numbers but not quality, you wouldn't want any of them in your team for any length of time.

1998 more like. That's around the time we broke transfer record for Lee Clark at 2.5 million. This ownership group haven't soent that amount on one player, I wonder if the wage levels are at late 90s standards.

€2.5m for Rusyn their biggest outlay so far? Maybe that’s put them off doing it again, hardly been a roaring success.

We can't have that many players ready for prolonged first team starts, it's not feasible.

I really don't think we've got many players in reserve that are first team ready, as @South-West Mackem says there's probably 4 or 5 good subs and the rest haven't shown that they are good enough for the Championship as of yet.

Watson.

I like him and hope he gets a good few minutes but it's a bit of a jump for him, I don't think we can expect too much this season.
