Would absolutely snatch your hand off if you told me we could sign Siriki Dembele and Todd Cantwell permanently. For any flaws he may have, Eustace is very good at getting the best out of players… and i’d back him to resolve their alleged attitude problems pretty swiftly.

Nothing, all loans.

£41M IN PLAYER SALES SINCE LAST SUMMER. FORTY-ONE-MILLION POUNDS. What we should be getting... Daniel Iversen - Permanent Brandon Williams - Permanent Todd Cantwell - Permanent Rabbi Matondo - Permanent Josh Bowler - Permanent What we'll actually get... John Ruddy - Loan Owen Beck - Loan Ryo Germain - Permanent Siriki Dembele - Loan “to buy”

Ugh... dreading this one 😶

Ruddy - Loan Beck - Loan Dembele - Loan “to buy” Cantwell - Loan And that’ll be our lot folks… Venky’s: What £41m?

Good keeper for sure… but I’d sooner have Iversen on a permanent.

I'm gonna be absolutely raging when we end up with Siriki Dembele... on loan. Honestly got the impression that we'd spend a good chunk of the Szmods money - how silly of me, this is Venky's Rovers. There's absolutely no chance that we'll sign anyone for more than £400k.

We shouldn't be looking at loans and scraping the barrel with the money we've brought in, no other team would be. Can't stand these dogshit, negligent, scumbag Owners.

Let's see how much of the Clarke money Sunderland spend... my guess? Every penny. Our lot are just an absolute anomaly, disgusting.

There's a massive "instant legend" opportunity for any new signings... If they sign early/mid next week, it's unlikely that they'll be ready to feature in the Blackpool game on Tuesday... however, they could make a cameo appearance against the dingles at the weekend. Imagine the scenes, if we signed Ryo Germain and he came off the bench to score the winner at Turd Moor.

Don't feel like we need another striker, even if Vale goes... We have Gueye, Ohashi, Leonard (back soon), Tyjon and Mafoumbi. We also have Weimann who can play up top. They need to put everything into signing a keeper and 2 wingers. Joël Drommel - Loan to buy. Rabbi Matondo - Perm. Kwame Poku - Perm. Then a quick LB and a CM on loan. That'd do it. Issue is, I just can't see any of that happening.

There isn't a single reason as to why things should have to go "to the wire"... it's a choice. Deals are there to be done right now.

You heard anything regarding wingers? Doubt we'll pay what's required for this Matondo lad from Rangers.

You think we'll sign any of them?

Someone mentioned the other day that more ambitious names would start appearing, should the court case fail or be postponed, as a smokescreen. Since then, we've had fresh links/reports on Stansfield, Matondo, Iversen, Drommel, Baker, Dembele... it's all just absolute bollocks. Whoever said that was bang on. We'll end up with a couple of loans or incredibly cheap deals at best.

Fixed it for you bud

Rabbi Matondo... - High fee (to us) of around £2m. - High wages of £23k a week reportedly. - Leeds are also interested. Just put a line through it folks, not happening. Next!

Swag: Ell-boy! Elliott: Hi Master Waggott, you good? Swag: Oh aye lad oh aye *bites jaffa cake*... Look pet, it's gonna get messy around the 20th, ya better book yourself a little staycation alright, give center parcs a try! Elliott: Ahh okay, well i've just been away you see Steve, and it costs a few quid... Swag: Just get it booked son. Elliott: Could the Club maybe help cover the cost? Swag: *chewing noises* Phone cuts off.

Wouldn't surprise me if Swag advised him to do so!

Don't like to be negative, but really feel like this one will be a massive banana skin. 0-3 Oxford.

If we had proper ambitious owners, we'd sign the following players before the window shuts; Daniel Iversen (£1.6m) Brandon Williams (Free) Yasin Ayari (Loan) Siriki Dembele (£1.2m) Franco Umeh-Chibueze (Loan) Jay Stansfield (£6m) If only eh? The Szmodics sale alone would cover all of that. I dare say, we'd easily make the top-half with signings like that... with play-offs becoming a genuine possibility.

Probably an unpopular opinion, since he's meant to be a little wanker who inhales balloons or something - but i'd love us to go for Brandon Williams. Top player on his day, better than Pickering. I know he's previously been on high wages, but he's earning zilch at the moment! Worth an ask.

I’m very much against signing Ruddy, it’s a short term solution to a long standing problem and there are much better options available. However, if it’s him or Pears… then I pick Ruddy, every time.

Since last summer... Phillips - £2m Kaminski - £2.5m Ennis - £0.5m A. Wharton - £18m Raya - £5m Wahlstedt - £1m Gallagher - £1.6m Szmodics - £10m Telalovic - £0.2m (?) Gent - £0.2m (?) About £41m in players sales there, give or take. This summer, we've spent at a push about £1.6m on the likes of Gueye, Ohashi, Doherty and Mafoumbi... and now they're dragging their feet over what is likely a miniscule fee for Ryo Germaine. Any other Club, with income like that, would reinvest at least £15m of it without question. We're using it to pay the bills, because our corrupt piece of shit owners can't (or won't). They're a joke of the absolute highest order, get the fuck out of our Club.
