Who says, have you followed his career and Reading, there are plenty of players at “bottom” of the prem food chain I’d have in our team, what was Sterling at Chelsea for example.?Meyler was at the very very bottom of the premier league food chain, couldn't cut it in the championship and hopefully he will be a success with us. Risky business this transfer lark.
Doyle would have lost his presence when he wasn't playing it affected him badly being droppednot a bad transfer window in my eyes, bit gutted about doyle but not for footballing reasons, more for his presence around the place, he will be back though, maybe as a coach at the end of the season.
JCH was a fee involved? we have lightened fringe players who I imagine between them cost a fair bit of money wages wise.
maybe with these signings we might actually see strikers as strikers and wingers as wingers.
I’d be absolutely baffled at the decision making of the club if they thought spending £4M for a player who is more or less guaranteed to be average/poor at Championship level was a good idea - as Grigg’s record has shown this season. It’s complete short terminism. Ironically it’s that exact situation that got Sunderland in such a mess in the first place.
What about maycock is he still on loan?

Sterling is a youngster making his way in the game. That is not a fair comparison.Who says, have you followed his career and Reading, there are plenty of players at “bottom” of the prem food chain I’d have in our team, what was Sterling at Chelsea for example.?

It would be a very long stretch of the imagination to call Meyler anything other than a journeyman, who in his last gig couldn't cut it in the championship at his peak.
As for having premier league players at the bottom of the food chain think Rammage, think Hunt and dare I say it think Cole.
I think he just plays devils advocateDon’t know why you bother following the club Grendel all you do is moan. What a miserable life you must lead
This is spot on. I like Will Grigg, but fuck me... £4 million for a player who hasn’t cut it in the championship is up there with the many other stupid decisions Sunderland have made.

LOLThe same Peter Crouch that’s signed for Burnley this window?
Not necessarily. We have less dead wood to get rid of in the summer, which should help ease the process of improving the squad.4 loanees started yesterday. Never a good sign. Although they are our best players. A step backwards during this transfer window (in terms of building for next season) as a club from progression of last 18 months.

But then we have Max Biamou to come back in.We will I assume need 2 goalepers, brown Willis abd davis will need replacing, we will have few midfielders left who are instant choices and the forward line are proven failures

Tis said Burroughs is close to a start right now even.We signed four players, at least three of which you’d expect to make an impact next season: Chaplin, Rose, Wakefield.
With no renewals, the squad next season is:
GK: ??? (OK that’s not great)
RB: ???? (K, bad start)
LB: Brown, Mason, McCallum (here we go)
CB: Hyam, Rose, Thompson, Drysdale
CM: Bayliss, Kelly, Westbrooke
AM/W: Jones, Wakefield, Shipley
ST: Chaplin, Hiwula, Bakayoko, Biamou
Realistically, that’s only 4/5 signings off a decent side (GK/RB/CB/DM/AM). And that’s if we can’t get any of our current players to sign new deals. Well probably loan in 3/4 and people like Burroughs/Bremang/Ngandu will be coming through.
I think we’ll sign an experienced GK and DM, a couple of young RBs, probably get Davies or Willis to resign, then loan in a couple of forwards. A standard summers worth of business.
