Sunderland and the January transfer window

Sunderland AFC and the January transfer window

I’d expected, (and definitely hoped), to have written a whole lot more about the January transfer window than I have so far…….

What Sunderland need?

League 1 isn’t right good, it’s actually significantly worse this season compared to last? I’m confident we will still win this league….. but, I’d be even more confident if we could add a few goals.

It looked like we were going to sign Boyce from Burton – our failure to do so suggests we are looking at loans or free transfers?

“No guarantees in football – but this is a deal that we should have got done? Playing for Hearts is no better than playing for Blyth Spartans and whilst Edinburgh is ok, it’s always cold and misty…. definitely an opportunity missed?”

Will Sunderland sign a striker?

The 3 highest earners are McGeady, Grigg and Watmore. At a guess they account for an outlay of £55k per week. This is a huge problem…..

McGeady is training with the kids
Grigg is shit, overweight and can’t be arsed
Watmore is the only one of them who features, and it’s only a cameo. I like him, I like his attitude…. but he is like a Labrador, (not even the clever yellow or black type), playing with a beach ball?

So….. we need to get McGeady and Grigg out of the door. Being realistic I don’t think there’s any value out there as regards incoming strikers? As alluded to last night…. just take a chance. I don’t know who the top scorer in the conference is – but fuck it, let’s just have a punt on him?

Tranmere match report online late Wednesday night and I’ll think of something to write about tomorrow.

Having watched the highlights from Friday- we just need someone to hit the net with some consistency and we win this league all day long…..
