Its funny the way people were saying we had no chance last January, and now most of the same are saying the same this!..
Odd the way people give these players no chance when they know very little about them as a team, would it not be better giving them a chance to find their feet, it could be a surprise that'll like last season put a lot in their places!..

No Germany, we havent done enough, by a long way

Cant really defend the club. Are there any freebies available that are any good? Mitrovic maybe?
^^^
Outwood, lot of noise around Brownhill.
At this point I'd say yes to him. Desperate.
Saw Oxelaide-Chamberlain's name. But,
not sure on him. Probably a no there.
Mitrovic? For me yes. Massive yes. Again,
at this point why not?
I can't see the club doing much though.
So, we have to ask why the fck not?
Where did this war chest and bravado go?
I don't know how the hierarchy and their
PR team spin this beyond we fcked up.
According to the BBC site, big spenders Sunderland have forked out for another couple of players in the last hour or so.
Just read a great point re new players:
How many of them were Farke choices?
If all of them were, then he can't say he wasn't backed.
If one or two weren't, are we about to see those
new players Ramazzanied into the abyss?

Nice to see you giving new signings time to bed in.

Okafor already has. A medical bed.

Interesting comments from Brobbey, Sunderland's 'transfer day deadline' striker. He said the deal was agreed a month ago but it looks like Sunderland waited the window out in case something better came up.
By comparison, our bid for Wilson looks like a last minute punt of despair, which Fulham milked to ensure we didn't get anyone else.
There's the proper way to do business and there's the Leeds way. Will we ever learn?
they've just sent me the email advertising the Adidas Terrace Icons range. Which looks amazing btw. But f off.
So predictable.

£18M spent on an attack which has lost Solomons 21 goal contributions and Largie Ramazani on loan to Valencia as well as Bamford and Joseph. Leeds have scored 1 goal in 3 games, a penalty. Hard not to feel for Farke and Leeds fans.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Our lack of goal threat is a major worry. Having watched all 3 games so far can anybody honestly say we look like scoring from open play?
2 clean sheets is a good start but as we saw against a top side we cannot hope to survive on 0-0 draws and 1-0 penalty wins.
The failure to land a fit, proven goal scorer will come back to haunt us I fear.

What does it tell you about the quality of the player that no other club other than Sunderland has wanted him for a month, and that Sunderland themselves have sat around hoping they could attract better? Hardly a vote of confidence in the chap.

But I'm also amazed that we didn't have something similar lined up once it was clear we could end up in this situation.
I fully expected us to have a couple of options ready to go. Why hadn't we done this with Spertsyan for example? The club have definitely been interested. Buonanotte was rightly the preference and as I have said we were unlucky that that didn't work out. But have a safety net man.
I expected us to have similar options lined up for Aaronson, Harrison, Piroe just in case a top player became available similar to Raphinha situation.
It does look like were either under-prepared or over confident.

For certain on the last point. They deserve criticism for how the approach for an attacker went.
However, I don't see many players willingly sitting around waiting to see if the agreed move to a Premier league relegation side manifests. Surely most players back themselves to be better than that?

Yeah, and I agree that those that we would have been happy to wait would have been below the standard we had hoped for. but they would have been better than what we got.
I don't have anytime for anyone that thinks this was a deliberate ploy by the 49ers to cash in on the premier league, do it on the cheap, take their cash out and don't care if we get relegated though.
It's just nonsense that makes no sense.
Relegation hurts them as much as it does us. In very different ways as they may not necessarily care about the results for the same reasons are us. But it hurts them financially an awful lot.
