LooneyToony 41 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 So Townsend seems done. Good signing? We're signing Pete Townshend?! Why a lead guitarist? We need among other things an experienced striker even if just for loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Who else are we going to get realistically? We are favourites to be relegated. He's got potential, same as Shelvey. Can't say I'm unhappy with those 2. Just need a striker and we've had 2 good Windows, Thuavin aside Signing 1 first team defender in 2 windows after the cricket scores we've been victim of is failure for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Anorthernsoul 1221 Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 I can not believe they weren't in for Austin, young, proven goal scorer, English, cheap. We are crying out for a goal scorer, it was a no brainer ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 This fucking club, bet the daft cunts were sat on their hands waiting to offer him a contract on a free at the end of the season (which I'm sure they would have been outbid for anyway). Shown to be a pretty clinical finisher at a shite Premier League side that weren't creating much, no chance will they find a striker as good as him for 4m.

zico martin 89 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I want a personal explanation as to why this was allowed to happen and i guess fans of most teams in the bottom half of the premiership could argue the same, swansea, norwich, villa are all crying out for a striker for example,not just us. Doesnt southampton seem more attractive than all those clubs? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I think we're crying out for a LB more than a striker. Mitrovic will come good as long as he keeps away from the 442 formation he's been playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mitrovic will come good as long as he keeps away from the 442 formation he's been playing. I think the lad just needs chances, he doesn't get that many a game really. I know he has missed some 'easy' chances in recent games but it might be the only one he gets all match. If we go out and get a LB and a winger I'll be pleased with the window.

Aye exactly especially the WBA and Everton games where it looked like we were set up to draw or not lose those games. If he continues with this 4-3-3 and adds in a left back then we'll be more fluid attackingwise. Plus Dummett can be our 3rd choice CB as he's done well there and seems a more natural CB than LB.

Dr Gloom 21847 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 If I were him I'd have chosen Southampton over is too. They're in much better shape than us these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1977 0 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Is he a right winger? Can play several positions, in recent years mostly used as an inverted right winger (cut inside and shoot, powerful if inaccurate shots) At youth level he was more of a traditional left winger, when it was more popular to have wide men keep width and deliver crosses. He's also played a handful of first team games as left back, mostly in Europa League. His best position if the team can afford it is probably a free central role like Steve McManaman used to have. Townsend is a two feeted dribbler that can go both left and right. At QPR he sat an all time Premier League record playing like this, as the player with most succesful number of dribbles in a PL game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Howay 12496 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I'd like us to offer a bit more money and try and get Ben Davies from Spurs as well, he'd be a big improvement over the shite we have at left back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StoneColdStephenIreland 74 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Ashley Coles away to LA Galaxy now. I know he's a cock but I'd have had him here for 6 months.

Kid Dynamite 7009 Posted January 17, 2016 Share Posted January 17, 2016 Gomis offered to us for £7mil. Suggests Swansea need cash and are preparing for relegation by removing high earners http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/635265/Sunderland-Swansea-Premier-League-Andre-Ayew-Sam-Allardyce-Islam-Slimani-Transfer-News I would take Ayew like, even at £14mil.
