Sunderland Look Set To Miss Out

[Smiter]

It’s disappointing and it’s a double whammy when at least 2 if not 3 targets we were clearly after have went to direct rivals, and anyone’s daft to say it’s not and there is no impact.

I don’t blame the club though they are clearly trying there best, but competing financially against clubs with parachute payments js near impossible.

Didn't Ipswich go from league one to the prem in two years?Let’s not overblow out achievements!

They did, and seem not to be getting a good hiding Every week like Southampton so they have done great.

I get that it's difficult but they need to bring somebody in for me.

If Wilson gets injured, promotion is basically off.

I agree that promotion is off if he’s injured. This problem goes back further than the current window and the fact we didn’t bring in a competent striker for 2 years.

It's not all bad news.

You could sell those wet knickers to a Japanese fetish site?

 

[Big Duke Six]

Not even a fetish in Japan, you can buy used schoolgirls knickers from a vending machine in Tokyo.

Only the one?

I never said it was special. I’m just saying we have clearly got better under the current hierarchy. Some on here, know who they are, love to focus on negatives all of the time.

Personally i think all on here want the best for SAFC but any critique worth its salt looks at both the positives and negatives of any situation or its valueless ..We should always have one eye on assessing what mistakes we made and what we could have done better .... The sunderland fan comes in many flavours and we are better for it!

That's why it needs another bringing in now. The problem is they don't want to spend a penny.

We'd rather pay an extra £5m on top of their price for an obligation to buy if promoted than pay for a player now.

We have been a disaster for years really. We’ve been a disaster since we got relegated from the PL. For a club like Sunderland, anything outside of the PL isn’t good enough.

Well said, love the ambition

Well be sound man,

Trust the club to make the right decision based on the last few windows

Out of the last four windows before this one, only one can be even considered not poor.

 

[oddbod]

It just ma

It just makes you realise the huge gulf between the championship and the prem ..i dont think its ever been bigger!

Haven't missed out on anyone yet like.

 

[andyj73]

.. If we buy a player atm they have got to be able to kick on in the higher league in case we get there, so it doesn't look easy. How things will pan out in what remains of the window is anyone's guess ..

.. Thought the striker we were reported as being after had gone to France? ..

I love watching sunderland win as much as anyone but this whole “we used to be in league one” rhetoric does my nut in.

It’s a lazy excuse. Statistically, this is the worst period in the clubs history. We’ve never spent this long out of the top flight and until we get back there, I don’t think we should be satisfied.

 

[Its Him Again]

Absolutely nothing has officially happened however our social media fans piss their pants

 

[craigypants]

I've a feeling some GOLD threads are coming in the next 48 hours. Addictive stuff. LEGENDARY!

'reported' haway man ffs.

I think they see Abdullahi as their replacement.

I agree, from what I have been reading it seems to be wingers we are looking. At lad a rangers I was reading about yesterday. Still we should do whatever to get a striker.

I think some people can handle a bad result or missing out on a transfer better than some others as they have the ability to look at the bigger picture and see since this regime took over generally we have been on a build and upward trajectory. Yes we had a 2nd half blip last season but generally we are improving. Yes we did well under Tony and a similar position now but have more squad depth so an improvement. Then you have others who jump from suicidal to elation based on that weeks result or transfer window. Sometimes you have to look where you were to measure how things are going now and some people look and see we have went from struggling to get out of league 1 to genuine championship promotion contenders. I am sure most supporters want to be in the Premier League but some prefer to be club supporters and some prefer to be club critique. I'm not saying either or wrong but accept people are different.
