It's all about the fanfare people! We've had a deal agreed for a couple of days now but it hasn't been announced yet. All so we can do the best on Jim white day!!

I wish they would just announce it then given that it is now TDD.

Unless they wanna leave it till 10:59pm just to keep us all in suspense.

My Arse.

I desperately hope that you are right about a striker and midfielder - we are very weak in those areas.

I hope I'm right mate, but it's just my opinion based on a) the squad as it stands and b) the players we have been linked heavily with (not that we couldn't get others in)

I wouldn't say we're weak in midfield at all. Barry and Gueye have been superb, and should McCarthy stay and get over his injury provides more than adequate back-up.

The problem is that a lot of the players don't offer a bit of something different so when we become bogged down in a game we find it difficult.

A signing like Sissoko would add a bit more raw power to the midfield as well as versatility, while a signing like Brahimi would - as I said - give us options to move Barkley around and let him become that box-to-box player rather than solely a No.10.

Any links of Del to Boro can be stopped now then

I have it on good authority that Gabbiadini is very good.

Kenwright is probably insisting we announce it closer to midnight so that we can save on a day's wages ffs.

Wish I could fast forward 12 hours to see the state of this thread either way it's gonna be messy, very messy.

Can't bloody wait.

I think we'll a striker and a midfielder will be our two priorities today mate - whether that will be a playmaker (Brahimi) that then allows us the option to move Ross deeper in certain games, or a central player (e.g. Sissoko) which provides some more pace and power to the side. Heck, maybe even both, but I think it's doubtful.

I think we'll be looking for a GK and again may well get one in. Defensively, I'm not sure. Sakho to Liverpool - if that's a goer - could mean something, but I do think Kone is staying at Sunderland.

So unless we get that deal for Martina done - which doesn't look likely due to that injury to Cedric - I reckon we may leave that until January - and given the form of Holgate and Williams now being fully fit, I don't see it as a huge problem.

Brahimi is in no way shape or form a playmaker mate, he's an explosive winger - a more proven version of Bolasie with better end product

Sissoko provides pace and power when he cba showing up - which is about 5 games a season, want proof of that - see how Newcastel fans 'rate' him and there opinion on how mcuh he was to blame for there lack of any fight last season (and previous ones)
