Doug - we’re really happy with what we’ve done in the window and I’ve stopped gossip and rumours at source
So we’ll see what happens over the next week or so
3hrs later - signing made
Mmmmm that was quick
Some good points, but 'hovering over club like expectant mothers'?!Maybe it's the work of the pundits, but it appears many of us feel this season presents a great opportunity for the club to go up. So now more than ever, many of us are hovering over club like expectant mothers regarding every move the recruitment team, DK and MR make. It's a great time to be a fan and I'm sure with that will also come heated discussions/debates about the fact that although we have 3 goalkeepers and 7-9 strikers/forwards/wingers, we are not sufficiently balanced/lack depth in midfield and defence. I'm fairly certain the team will know this and is working to address it, but we are cutting it pretty close.
Never in our wage bracket really.Worrall officially signed for Burnley.
If we are interested in premier league loans, it is unlikely to happen until the very end of the window.Maybe it's the work of the pundits, but it appears many of us feel this season presents a great opportunity for the club to go up.

We can rule out Jamie Paterson finally
If you read through the entire conversation another guy was questioning my scouting knowledge (which is totally fine as I’m not a pro and don’t claim to be one) and I just presented my opinion as I don’t see anyone posting reports like I do (not that I’m doing a civil service or moving mountains). If you think “a good of a scout as you’ll get on here” is some sort of high praise or me finishing my self off, you’re a well and true dunce cap.It was in response to this..... how can that not make you cringe?!
@Tea & Busquets? Bloody good scout
One of the best scouts I know, certainly the best scout you know.
The sensible people on here appreciate your knowledge of the game. People like Clarky etc are just deliberately being obtuse to try and be ‘alternative’ or ‘edgy’, it’s sad reallyIf you read through the entire conversation another guy was questioning my scouting knowledge (which is totally fine as I’m not a pro and don’t claim to be one) and I just presented my opinion as I don’t see anyone posting reports like I do (not that I’m doing a civil service or moving mountains).

Love the insight, keep it coming.If you read through the entire conversation another guy was questioning my scouting knowledge (which is totally fine as I’m not a pro and don’t claim to be one) and I just presented my opinion as I don’t see anyone posting reports like I do (not that I’m doing a civil service or moving mountains).

After me you may have the best football knowledge on hereIf you read through the entire conversation another guy was questioning my scouting knowledge (which is totally fine as I’m not a pro and don’t claim to be one) and I just presented my opinion as I don’t see anyone posting reports like I do (not that I’m doing a civil service or moving mountains).

Our friends in the North are in uproar.Jack Clarke is off to Ipswich. Guess it weakens Sunderland.
Albeit a rather limited one.After me you may have the best football knowledge on here
Be proud of yourself. That's an achievement
Perhaps, but I’m glad it wasn’t to a fellow Championship rival. There was always speculation about his move over the last few windows and yet they held onto him.Sunderland were always going to lose Clark, just as we were always going to lose Hamer and Vik
I absolutely love this hoover up the best Championship talent approach from Ipswich. Hamer next please, if you don't mind.Jack Clarke is off to Ipswich. Guess it weakens Sunderland.

How muchJack Clarke is off to Ipswich. Guess it weakens Sunderland.
He was their best player in my opinion.How much
15 million plus 5 million in add ons ( 25% ) goes to Spurs .How much
How much it weakens them? That’s the 20M question I guess. They’ve apparently lost Ross Stewart and Nathan Broadhead in prior windows and not adequately replaced them according to their fans. So not sure what to make of this latest departure.How much
Worlds mad15 million plus 5 million in add ons ( 25% ) goes to Spurs .
How much
Think he's in the last year of his contract.I actually think 20 mill for Clarke is a serious undervalue and they've let him go too cheap
That will do itThink he's in the last year of his contract.
It’ll be 2 strikersGeorge smith reckons we have a defender and midfielder signing next week. Strap yourselves in folks!
Think we’re a bit light in goal if anythingIt’ll be 2 strikers
