What about Alfred and KM, do they not count like ?
Agree6

What ? Do N'Diaye and Mangane not count like ?
Agree6

3 players out 3 in and one of them a loan deal so not a stronger squad in numbers which is what we need.
i suppose the players in are better than ones gone so I suppose stronger in midfield/defense.
Agree2

Sorry I forgot those two, but I can't help it, I'm only 7

Looks like its another deadline day disappointment for us safc fans

While it may be disappointing not to see big names being brought to the club we need to think back to what we have spent in the recent past. Keane and Bruce spent heavily and were commendably supported by the club's financiers at the time. I agree we perhaps should have seen a better return for the money we spent but the club is not a bottomless pit, we have to try and operate sensibly. We spent heavily in the summer and have managed to bring in three more this window so again I think the manager has been well backed and we should thank all involved.
Agree6
Disagree1
That has been the most sensible comment I've seen on this page, I myself have this point of view better everyone else seems to think they have a bottomless pit at the club where we can spend 15-20 million on every player, we have to be realistic, as well, if a play is actually that good is he realistically going to be signing for a mid table team unless he has slipped under the radar?

Club scource tells me Sunderland working hard to make another signing. Not sure who it is but it may go to the wire and subject to a medical as he won't get this done before 11pm deadline.

we need a RB and a ACM in the next 3 hours
Believable1
Unbelievable2
What I feel we need is players who care about their trade and have some self pride. the majority of our team at present is BRUCES buys. and they are the ones letting themselves and US down. no pride no passion. equals no shirt in my mind. MON is the best thing to come to sol. and he WILL turn us into a top six side. but must off load 6/7 of bruces has beens.
Lets start flying that red flag and stop the whinging. leave that to the other lot
Agree0

31 Jan 2013 18:18:51

Word from Liverpool is Downing to Sunderland. Apparently the 2clubs trying to thrash out a deal. Not sure if this is true but my source has no reason to lie, he's a scouser and a big fan of Downing.

Centre attacking mid
Another ST it's not like we haven't had time to put bids in
Agree4

Really sick of all these so called supporters ! MON hasn't done eno!gh this window, you have to be joking! Bought a CF who scored 14 goals in the EPL last season, as big strong CM who is a class player as well as a big CB who is very good. If we were winning every game 5-0 and had the best 11 players in the world, these people would still find something to winge about. Go and support H/pool you miserable persons 1

Happy with the three signings, anything else be bonus. Graham adds to forwards pool of Fletcher, Sess, Wickham, Johnson, McLean (and even McFadden, if gets match fit, and Larsson). Gives several permutations. Also have Ji and Noble out on loan as prospectives if make the grade). Squad overall is developing. Can concentrate on rebuilding defence in summer and adding more quality creativity in midfield.
Believable17
Unbelievable1
We needed to add creativity in midfield in january and last summer. But our manager didnt.
Agree4
Disagree1
We are crying out for a couple of creative midfield players, baffling why O'neill hasn't brought any in
Agree2
Disagree2
N'ydiae, Johnson, sessegeon, Mcclean aren't they creative midfielders ??
Agree9
Disagree1
Cant believe we haven't signed a right back or creative midfielder
Agree1

Has the transfer window shut now? No? THENTTHERE'S STILL TIME!! Everyone whinging we've not got this and that, but its not over!

Now that Danny Graham has signed let's ALL get behind the lad and give him our full backing.
Just because he supported the mags does not mean he is a bad footballer. As long as he gives 100% for us what does it matter?
Remember there is a statue of an ex Sunderland manager outside the SoL who not only supported the mags, he played for them also!
I have faith in our manager and he will get the best out of Graham. I can see him scoring against Newcastle in April. Keep the faith.
Believable15
Unbelievable1
It's not the fact of him being a Geordie that is the issue with many people, it's the fact he slagged us off so publicly.
Agree5
Disagree2
He was young when he slagged us off
Agree10
Disagree4
I would luv 2 hear wot us sunderland supporters would say if we were asked the same question as Danny graham Woz asked, all he did Woz tell the truth ! Time 2 stop bein small minded and get behind the lad because wen he pulls that red and white shirt on he's a sunderland player not a mag fan ! Jarra makem
Agree4

Well said. hell win over the fans after scoring a hatrick on saturday or better still against the Mags!. mind i'm dissapointed we didn't get Sissoko!
Agree1

31 Jan 2013 14:17:09
We haven't had a double figure scoring number 9 striker in a while. Lets hope Graham is the man. I know myself and 90% of the fans will be applauding you at the madejski on on Saturday.
Believable14
Unbelievable1
You think MON is going to start playing a 442? I don't.
Agree5

The lad now wears RED and WHITE so lets all forget about what he has said in the past and where he comes from and get 100% behind him!! However, if he does a Chopra, god help him!!!
Agree5

COME ON DANNY he wears our shirt so get behind the lad if yous don't you are not fans

Graham signed but tv says he will be the only player in. Hope that's not true, we need another midfielder at least and a right back.

David craig at aol states that danny graham will be only signing of the day the other player linked was junior hoilett but that's not going to happens so that's all for us today folks
Agree0

Mags up the road sign the likes of sissoko and debuchy whilst oneill has no plan at all. Pathetic, fed up of this hr needs to sign more GOOD players
Agree2
Disagree5
Getting boring listening to people whining about Mon, he's the best manager we've had while Iv been alive, who do you expect us to sign where a mid table club with no sign of European football paying average wages, a top player would have 20 clubs to chose before he came, the same for Newcastle every player they signed isn't wanted anywhere else if they were that good they would have gone to a top 4 club in any European leauge, so get a grip, grow up and support our great manager and club
Agree4
Disagree4
Was sissoko wanted by many top clubs even ours not long ago
Agree3
Disagree0
Not wanted anywhere else?? are you having a laugh. sissoko was labeled £30m two years ago, its a huge coup for the mags. wish we had the same ambition, we will never be any better than we are now. a mid table team getting scraps from other teams.

graham bid accepted how many think he will come after tuesday
Believable2
Unbelievable1
We DON'T want him. {Ed024's Note - Did you also not want Fletcher ?}
Agree2
Disagree7
With being a mag 6 or 7 games in does nothing then what. {Ed024's Note - He'll get a heard time - he needs to back himself that, that will not happen. We need to consider - what if Graham doesnt sign and Fletcher picks up an injury tomorrow ?}
Agree5
Disagree1
I wish some people would get a grip.
Get behind him not boo him.
Jeez.
Agree6
Disagree1
Yes most of us do want him it's just petty minded people like you who bood at the ground on Tuesday that dot because you can't see past the boundaries of a city! person!
Agree5
Disagree1
It's a gamble. If he scores goals everyone will love him. If he doesn't everyone will call him a Mag
Agree0
Disagree0
He said he's a gateshead fan anyway
Agree0
Disagree1
Forget where he was born and who he supported as a child. The major issue here is that we are signing a player who can not get a starting place for Swansea and who Middlesborogh feel is within their sights. Hardly an improvement!
Agree1
Disagree3
Surely your comment is fairly petty itself, instantly judging everyone who may not want him to come. I personally don't see it being a good deal for us, but obviously not giving him a fair chance if he comes is stupid.
Agree1
Disagree0
My comment is only towards the people who don't want him here because he is a mag, I completely understand some people might not rate him or might not be their type of player but I think he should be give a chance before anyone judges him! I think it's a fair comment don't you ?
Matty
Agree1
Disagree0
Yeah that's fair enough but I think a lot of the reaction he received was down to his comments about our club rather than where he is from. Let's face it we've had some good players for us from Newcastle, but none have bad mouthed us so publicly before signing.
Agree0
Disagree0
Yeah I agree, but you've got to remember he was goaded in to saying what he did by journalist and he was a young lad
Agree1
Disagree0
Wot would your reply be if you were asked the same question ?
