Growing trend of all the teams who got a load of business done early beating all the sides yet to strengthen. Wonder if there's anything in that

Can’t be right, they all panic bought early while the other teams are taking their time and making sure they get the right players?

Thierry Small. Another of our previous players doing bits today.albeit in the Championship.

Might also be the right time to offer Keane to West Ham. He'd actually help shore them up.

Once our actual transfer business is done, I hope we don't see our name mentioned in the relegation thread again, as we will be absolutely fine.

A few teams even if they do more business , I don't think they will get better players in. eg Bournemouth and the Hammers and maybe Fulham. I expect our business to end up far superior to those teams even though we have been relatively slow out of the blocks.

They are charging about 50 mil with a massive chunk up front so there is a big difference. They want the whole cake. If Broadhead balls out, he can actually make them money. Chances are Dibling will not even be a 60-70 mil player and we are paying based on potential and age. He would have to be world class to demand that fee.

I meant the concept of having a percentage sell on clause.

Something that is often overlooked with our own players.
Maybe this is the way to go.

Is why i have been frustrated with us the window just making a few more quality ones and we could really jump up the table.

Oh you can’t make sense on here or you’ll get called a “bedwetter” for some likes on the internet

They do. Mildly amusing (and yes I know it's Sky) Morrison had commented he didn't know where Sunderland's goals were coming from.(familiae terroritory for us in recent times tbf) and then they bang in 3

This. And those clubs are the protected holy 6 whose finances dwarf all other clubs because they can skirt the rules, sell their own hotels to themselves, and immediately offer ridiculous salaries to their first choice again and again 5 seconds after the window opens. The rich get richer and the strong teams get stronger. It hurts the game.

Well erm no, Sunderland are one of them.

Is prefer the club thinks long term, and gets the right players in, rather than put such an importance on winning the first game.

Nothing changes if the money keeps rolling in mate. Those involved with the rest of the teams will still be getting their nice salaries.
Remember this?

Although winning a few in August and September would be a welcome change for us given the past few seasons.

Habib Diarra. What an opportunity missed.

Delap Diarra and Dibling would have been amazing.
