"We have to find a way"


Jings. One striker who is not fit - after 2 serious injuries in one season - and an unproven kid, and folk are seriously saying 'we don't need another striker' . 😳
 
No point in having 4 if you are playing 1 upfront, you won't get 4 good strikers who are happy to be on the bench. If Stewart is staying need 1 more
We need Stewart, 1 experienced and 2 kids. There'll be games we need 2 up front. We'll get injuries. How many cb do we have but still ended up with none for the most important few games in recent years. There's also this really important thing called competition for places.
 
We shouldn't hear these words in the coming season 23-24.

Second year in the championship and supposed brilliant recruitment in over drive.

We need two more strikers and plenty time to get them in.

Thoughts?

Who exactly said these words like? 🤔🤷🏼‍♂️
 
The extra two subs just means we can get more of the current squad on the bench. Easier to get rigg on
The current squad has 1 unfit forward (probably best in the league when fit) and an unproven kid, who yes looks really promising but shouldn't be chucked in at deep end. We need at least another promising forward and an experienced one.
 
One more striker should be sufficient. I can see a loan player coming in for that. There's no guarantee Semedo is going to be up to standard straight away mind.

It seems likely at this point that Stewart will be away in january. Obviously we hope for a new deal getting signed but you'd say good chance hes away in January.

Given that would leave us with semedo (2 goals in his career, in the 2nd div of Portugal) i really think we should be taking this situation more seriously. No idea why we seem to plan ahead in every position except striker

It's also called signing players for the sake of it you aren't going to get 4 good strikers happy to sit on the bench, Stewart , semado , plus another is enough competition.
If Stewart gets injured again it’s a lot to pin on a young lad from Portugal that hasn’t any first team experience especially in a different country. We need another striker definitely. One that knows the championship.
I've said we need 1 more striker aswell as Stewart staying.

Do you actually support Sunderland?

I misunderstood the context of the post.

I actually thought when you mentioned about the striker situation someone had came out today and said we’d have to find a way of signing a 3rd striker as though alluding to the fact we weren’t willing to pay a big fee or something along those sort of lines.

I totally get what you mean now though.

It’s been a long week! 🙈🤣

We had 1 more striker who got injured in the next match. That worked well. It's the only mistake Speakman made to be honest.

We had 2 strikers in total last season, and was loan striker who was recalled. If we sign another we will have 3 which is enough

When Stewart got injured, Simms was injured in the next match. The recall was another issue altogether.

Especially as we know first hand how hard trying to sign a striker in January without getting your eyeballs ripped out actually is!

If we only had Stewart and Semedo come January and Stewart were to then leave we’d be caught well with our pants down!
