Personally I don't think we'll bring in any "real quality" tomorrow. An old, past his best, striker, and maybe a defender on loan. That will be it!! Hard second half of the season on the cards me thinks!! :-(

Rubbish !

Another upbeat supporter, you were'nt booing Danny Graham by any chance were you ? Come on we all need to stick together 2nd half of the season, Marty will do the business don't fret

Believe it or not, I was one of the few who didn't boo. Thought it was rather embarrassing. I don't think Graham would be the answer, but doesn't matter which forward he brings in if he's going to persist with just playing 1 up front!!

I agree we'll end up with some muppet that's not even fit, Heskey or kevin davies.

Some people have never had a full glass.

Jeez.

Scott Sinclair is a non starter. FA or FIFA rules state a player cannot play for more than 2 clubs in any one season. He's played for both Swansea and Man City this season. He's spending the rest of the season on City's bench!!!

He could go back to Swansea on loan though, can't he?

Mcgeady been spottid at a london airport on his way to sunderland. danny g will sign at the same time FACT that's the lads done in this window

We have airports in north east why fly to london?

Heard from a club source that Graham is having second thoughts about a move due to last nights reception and not being guaranteed first team starter. There is however a striker on his way for a medical and talks but it is being kept under wraps. Anyone heard who it could be? MON has 5 other bids for players but does not expect to get more than 3 of those. Lets hope he can pull off a few excellent additions.

Andreas Cornelius, Danish striker, good in the air and a very exciting talent.

Seriously we've bid £6m for Cornelius, I hope we get him, he's only 19 as well. Thank me later haha. Redjohn3

Funny how tv reckon the deal is close, MON has even said about the booing of graham, graham knew he would get it so think your full of it

That kid really does look the biz

Mcgeady spotted at airport, can't be going to the surely? It's got to be us.

I hope we get mcgeady

Whos the surely man?

Which airport?

He's no better than what we already have

I hope MON has a plan up his sleeve as watching that utter disgrace of a team last night was an embarrassment, Swansea was far the better team and deserved all 3 points. Aye we had injuries but if you asked me two days ago who was in the Swansea team I could name a couple but that's about it. The midfield was too negative and looked scared of the Swansea players. And I don't even want to mention the shot count. It's in the press that Aiden Mcgeady is a target and would be a welcome addition to the team. A lot of Fans say we already have players such as AJ in these position but it did not show last night. Stuart downing would also do a very good job for the team as it was pretty apparent last night the fletcher was not getting the service a player of this calibre deserves. Rant over.

I concur. Going forward we looked hapless, Sess seems to be the only player with a creative view. Vaughan played terrible, passing sideways at every opportunity. We were second best all over the park. Please MON bring in a striker and a creative midfielder. If the mags get Cabaye and Sissoko gelling together i'm dreading the next derby.

Drewsie

1 shot on target in 90 mins AT HOME tells you everything about Mon's tactics. Disgrace.

And Jack Colback should be called Jack Passback. The amount of times we had posession only to pass back to Migs, who then booted it up field only for Swansea to win the ball, pointless.

Utter appauling last night one of the worst performances I've seen in a while

MON needs to get 3 players minimum
1. Striker - BENT OR HOOPER!
2. Centre Back - Chris Samba
3. Winger/Attacking Midfielder

But as usual sunderland wait till the last minute and I bet nothing is done or just average player that won't really strengthen come in

Were just outside the top ten why not add 2 or 3 quality players and really try to kick on!!

I agree- and I see that MON was 'very disappointed' again. Does he not realise that if the team is 'disappointing' he is failing? I think he is clueless. inability to coach them in the basics or organise on the pitch, and no idea when it comes to signing good players that will gell into a team. Pathetic!

Drewsie bring on the derby they were only playing villa see what they do in the next 2 games 3 players were to blame last night vaughan, larsson, colback

You couldn't name hardly any swansea players? Put it this way they're way better than us lol

The point though is that we got a point last night, same as everton did against Swansea. The differences you'll note are that everton fans didn't moan like it was the end of the world and didn't scupper chances of a striker signing by booing him. 5 wins from 9 games and still people aren't happy!!

Why do we as followers of SAFC always moan & grumble bout our team! Get behind the team, ok so we only got a point. Do you think we would've got a point under Bruce, I think not!! Keep the faith with MON, he best manager we've had for years

Completely agree with the last comment we've won 5 and drawn 1 in last 8 games and challenging for a top 8 finish haway the lads martin is driving us in the right direction he's no fool don't hate on him unless come the end of the season we do poorly. admittedly the performance was poor but swansea are a good side wait and see what happens. in martin we trust

Completely agree! Why are we moaning?! We got a point and funny enough people boo'd someone our manager wants! How is o'neill tactically inept as well? Because the fact he has made a success of club he's been to is a fluke isn't it, NO! Read the roker report and maybe some of these people will actually understand that we did quite a bit to stop them playing, however, I did see that Vaughan and colback did have a poor game again, but we've won 4 in 6 and now got another point, why can't people be happy? People here push the panic button way to early, and is MON was to go who would we bring in? And why would any player want to come here if the fans are going to boo him!

Yes it was a bad performance, but that is a huge overreaction. We'd just won two games in a row and things are looking up. We're not the finished article yet and admittedly we still lack some attacking flair, but stability is key at the moment and I really don't think getting rid of O'neill is the correct option. Maybe if you could only name a few Swansea players you don't really know football?

Not complaining about the score good point but the amount of times these players vaughan, larsson, colback give swansea the ball or played the ball back wards was ridiculous

Does anyone know if we actually have a good chance of getting anyone because all I read is that a deal is on, then off, then back on.

Id say that was the worst display of the season and it galls me to say why didn't we go for sissoko at least he passes the ball forward !..i think the club should refund the 37,000+ supporters.. as that was fraud to call football.

We were playing swansea, they drew at everton, beat arsenal, chelsea away, come on get a grip, they are no pushovers, were you having a go at the team when we beat west ham and wigan and city? NO! sure we should of played better and created more chances but still a point gained against a good swansea team, vaughan is a good squad player but is not the answer in centre mid, colback is not a left back, gards not a right back but they doing a job coz rose is injured and bardo is not good enough, we need a few signings in which O'neil will get, if we played more attacking against swansea they would of passed it through us and we would of lost lastnights game, sick of these doom and gloom fans, negative persons who don't have a clue! a lot of the fans who twist seem to be 18, 19 years old, they were still eating their snots when super kev was banging them in. we not going to win every game, we not man utd, we a work in progress have some faith! HA'WAY THE LADS!!

i clearly agree we do need some fresh blood injected into the team if we were to finish in top ten in first full season under oneil i'd be happy here's the players I think we should think about

cb - samba or modibo diakite
winger - dowining or jason puncheon of southampton
striker - bent, hooper or bafetimbi gomis

also a bit of creativity in centre mid what about a cheeky bid for mathieu flamini at ac milan, he's got 1year left on contract and only played 8 times this year?

C'mon Martin lets kick on with few good signings and away sunderland supporters lets all get behind the lads get the ground full and starting getting the atmosphere going again at our beloved SOL

Couldn't agree more with you mate but most of these don't stand a chance as MoN has waited too long in the window

Is it true ED24! That Ryan Noble has been released and is been offered a contract with the Jam tarts? {Ed024's Note - yes I've heard they are interested in him - but he's not gone yet}
