Looks like 3 through the door tomorrow then fingers crossed.. we’re trying hard for an out n out 10 according to G Smyth. I think if they get that one done we’ve a huge huge chance of auto promotion

Tanaka Ao confirmed.

Ao is pronounced 'Ow' btw

Looks a very shrewd signing. McKenna at Ipswich really liked the look of him when they played against him in pre season.

8/10 window for me at the moment. We’ve not really replaced Rutter as it stands. Solomon is not an out n out 10. Not by a long way. He could be handy there no doubt at this level (if he stays fit) and I like look of Gnonto there but both are a gamble in what is an absolutely pivotal position in Farkes set up

What happened here - I thought this was nailed on?

He would have made a huge difference - where are the goals going to come from?

New contract for Gnonto, 4 years

Great news. I suspect he’s going to be our 10

Pretty good window.
Still think we should have gone that extra 3 or 4 million to get Hamer and or Sallai or whatever his name is.
Sam Johnstone at 10 million, Nat Phillips and Mason Holgate maybe could/should have got.

The money was there. I find it strange that they didn’t look elsewhere if Hamer was deemed too expensive. You can get a damn good 10 at this level for £10m to £15m..

We will see if they have played it right or it backfires.

Really good win. No excuses for not getting promoted this season

Very good solid performance and I think the players brought in will add that bit of class.
At this stage I don`t see a lot changing in the top 6 with Sheff Utd, Burnley, West Brom, Watford, Sunderland and us in there.

top 2.
so much quallity. only mrslier worries me

Great performance, Solomon looks a great signing.

Good to see Joseph get off the mark.

Yeah Meslier a worry like always.

Solomon looks different class at this level. Very good performance all round. Tanaka looked good when he came on, looks clsss on the ball.

Much needed win. Sunderland have started like house on fire.. 4 wins from 4.

RIP Sol Bamba. Only 39

Might not be such a bad transfer window for us. Yes some big names have gone out, but the balance of the squad may be better. The pivotal signing could be the Jap. If he’s a player that carries the ball forward from midfield that should open up gaps further up the field. Too many passes and not enough penetration last season even from the likes of Rutter and Summerville. I’m not too disheartened at this stage.
