Rayvin 5223 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 (edited) Have just been reading RTG to see how their race for strikers is going and it is predictably amusing this far With the caveat that they may well get in a striker, the chain of events seems to be as follows: 1 - Stewart Donald spends January giving it the big un about the mighty financial power of Sunderland and how 'most championship clubs would want the budget that SAFC has' 2 - Maja, a totally mediocre striker but also their only outlet all season of note, is sold. 3 - Donald claims they will get two new strikers in no problem. 4 - They arse around with a bid for Will Grigg. Deadline day comes in, Sunderland bid £1.5m, Wigan turn around and demand £3m since 'most championship clubs would want Sunderland's budget'. Sunderland mysteriously go quiet. 5 - At midday, it is announced on SSN that an unnamed PL striker is having a medical with a view to a loan move. Nothing is then heard about this for several hours, until eventually SSN reveal that actually, that never happened. Meaning it was a ruse to make SAFC look less desperate than they actually are. A ruse seemingly bought by no one. So as things stand, they have one senior striker in the squad, and he's beyond terrible. It could all change, but they're absolutely frantic about it. The thread that was started about the PL loan player at lunch time has his 70+ pages in a few hours Edited January 31, 2019 by Rayvin 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rayvin 5223 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Looks like they're gonna get him but it's £3-4m. Superbly played by their chairman. A player worth about £500k, signed for 6 times that. Same old Sunderland. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted January 31, 2019 Share Posted January 31, 2019 Blew their wad on a League One striker who can’t buy a goal in the Championship. I don’t think they’ll be promoted anyway, look forward to his over the top fee and wages (for a club of their level) being a mill stone around their neck, in season 2 of that Netflix thing they’ll be blaming his wages for relegation to league two.

Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 He's shite They only signed him off the back of a song the Wigan scumbags copied off us The gift that keeps on giving. I heard he's injured aswell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zerosum 234 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 what was it they say to us? rafa bought a load of championship players who we are stuck with? lol.. better than having league 1 players to get stuck with 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 (edited) Yeah, it’s a bit of a non argument really as those players we had in the Championship are by and large the ones we have keeping us in the PL. While they’re not great, and a club with a proper owner would have improved, they’re better in the PL than Will Grigg is in the Championship. We definitely aren’t saddled with them either tbh, Gayle, Ritchie etc could all be sold for similar amounts they were bought, and we offloaded a lot of the squad players like Hanley etc. Its not like mackems to talk absolute twaddle though is it?

The Fish 10857 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 The longer they're away from the top flight, the harder it is to get back. Even if they get promoted to the Championship. The squad they've got left is nowhere near good enough for a promotion push. How long do you think they'll be away from the Premier League?

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 They won't be back. Once the good will towards the Don expires they'll be down to sub 10k crowds and probably fall further 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zerosum 234 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 tend to agree with that above. there’s a bit of a novelty factor going on just now, new owner , near top of league. But it’s going to take minimum 2 to 3 seasons to build a decent squad to get out the championship, and that’s only if they have the money.. It’s taken Leeds a long time to build their squad.. Will the fans bother to come while they bumble around the lower half of the championship? If not, they’ll never have cash for another will grigg.

247 597 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 If they fail to get promoted this season the majority will turn big time on the ownership and it will be downhill from there, they will be stuck in league 1 for years to come imo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Howay 12496 Posted February 1, 2019 Share Posted February 1, 2019 That owner doesn’t have the money to bankroll them out the Championship, they’re not a draw TV wise, and sell their tickets for cheap. If they did manage to get promoted they’ll be Championship relegation fodder. The two carpet baggers are just hoping they can get to the Championship and sell for a profit imo, the Will Grigg purchase was them gambling on trying to get back. If it doesn’t work I think they’ll have to cost cut even more and will end up mid table League One. Its got the potential to be fucking hilarious. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
