Spent our summer pursuing players the manager doesn’t fancySunderland made a load of signings in the summer and pretty much any one of them would have been a useful addition to our squad.
Psr, difficult market, we are not attractive any longer, "enter any excuse"...I dont believe that we will be successful with angus, and I can see him being replaced as soon as next summer. If it wasnt for grealish signing, it would have been a horrible window. We went from 4 strikers to 2...and the same deficiencies at the back.Squad is very thin. Tom King on the bench, and we only have a couple of players out. I know Forest are struggling but they still couldn’t fit McAtee or Hutchison even in their squad today.
You’re exactly right. Delap. He was offered full time starts for us as a striker. History and rebuilds don’t speak to young players. It’s all about Europe and winning. That’s why we have to control what we can. That means placing higher each season until Europe is a standard.Problem is young upcoming English striker chose to be on the chelsea bench then our main striker.
Don't fall for it...if there is money, there is a will...yes delap would have been difficult, but plenty of top strikers out there...You’re exactly right. Delap.

Is Delap still injured? Trying to think of players we could potentially loan in January.
If Wolves go down, wonder if Strand Larsson would become available next summer?
We need to sell one of Beto or Barry asap to generate funds. Despite him being atrocious, think Barry needs to be the one who stays given Beto still may have some market value.
How big is your January budget for this?Let’s hope there’s a kitty for Jan!
Sell McNeil, Mykolenko & Beto to raise more if we can too.
2 starting full backs
1 proper striker
Get it done
