    It isn't just us - lots of Sunderland fans aren't happy with their summer (lack of) business either.

    Steve Gallen is the spit of a bloke who lives across the road from me.

    Don't think it is SG but I'm going to ask if the bloke who lives across the road from me has any rumours of deals he's working on.

    Will let you all know how I get on.

    I’ve lost all respect for SG since his revelation this week that he follows ***tic

    It was not so long ago that we were a week or so away from having no team to support.

    Thomas saved our club and is slowly building it back up from the damage that was done over many years.

    I am thankful that I can take my son to the Valley, which is something I did with my dad, and he did with his dad.

    I don't see why people are getting so wound up over transfers.  It seems people have short memories.

    Please just be thankful that our great club still exists.








    This indeed.  The ones moaning everyday must of been the sort of kids who demanded new toys a couple of weeks after Christmas. 
    Exactly. The sort of kids who are having tantrums in mid-December because they're not allowed to open any presents yet.

    The sort of kids who on Christmas Day, they frown on opening a present because it's not as good as expected and put it to one side immediately and say, "Underwhelmed!"

    There fixed it for you. That's what some Charlton Lifers would say. : B)

    Wetting the bed? At this point I'm sh*tting it!

    (Not Charlton related, I just like the way it feels when I wake up in the morning).

    Information for your partner ?

    There's a sale on for single beds at DFS  :|

    I wonder how many League One clubs are keeping their powder dry?

    This year, with so many clubs having cut their budget to their means in order to just survive, after the window closes there's going to be many decent but unattached players desperate for a contract.

    These free agents will be happy to take whatever contracts are offered, on reduced terms ...... just to stay in a job.
    Expect the free agent market to be busy in September.

    I just hope our business is done by the time the window closes otherwise this thread will never end (well, until the January one).

    UPDATE

    He's awaiting confirmation on a potential deal to hang wallpaper at a property in Sidcup.

    Waiting on news as to whether he's secured a painting job in Welling although he fears a rival tradesman from Ipswich has provided a more competitive quote.

    Also, waiting on news of a potential high-end refurb job at a detached property in Wrexham. He's priced it on the basis of a weekly rate (£9,000), not confident of securing that deal.

    Finally, he's speaking to lots of people about getting in a left back but players' agents are proving unrealistic with their demands and it's clearly going to be a waiting game.

    So do I. 

    Ideally, we need the squad all in place as soon as practical, certainly by the end of the window.
    But perhaps some budget will be kept in reserve for a free agent, if it enhances or strengthens the squad?

    Even Chris Powell did that, signing Kermorgant well into September.

    Not turning out to be the summer rebuild we all thought. 
     
     When I said that 5 weeks and more ago I got pelted. Something has changed since TS and NA made those claims . Realism may have bitten a bit. However it is strange only one player we were interested in January  time has been procured. 
    All very odd in a way because neither TS or NA are given to over statement. 
    Because we've got a different manager with a different footballing outlook. 

    Jeez, it's not hard to think sometimes 

    I made the exact same point two minutes before this yet I’ve got four fewer likes. Typical anti-Northern bias of this forum ffs. I’m quite literally sickened. Sickened! 

    Do you really dip your chips in Gravy  AUN ?

    This is not an euphemism and has no connection to Custard.

    Nice sentiment, but yet another point that gets recycled over and over on the rumours thread. On a thread built to discuss transfers, people will get in a tizz about...transfers.

    I know this type of post is becoming common and people are getting annoyed by it but it's hard not to agree with it. It's so clear we have a good egg as an owner and are on an upwards trajectory, yet people are acting so bratty and aggressive over signings, if I was TS and saw these type of fans I would genuinely be losing my mind.

    Imagine coming in, saving a massive part of people's lives, making all the right noise and improving the club in every aspect and some very peculiar people decide to harass you on twitter because you haven't got the squad ready. No club in the world has their full squad ready right now. I also can't fathom why we care what rival fans think, a bit embarrassed by what a pond life club in Millwall think of you and some stripey nigels you decide to negatively message him some more haha, very very bizarre individuals. Back our man ffs

    That's strange as he went even higher in my estimation. 

    As he has said, he is proud to be Irish.

    A fifth wanted £10k a week which was way out of bounds. 

    Was firmly told that's too much wedge.  'If you like a big club you should go to Ipswich'  

    New Senegalese centre back rumoured to be unveiled: Naby Par

    A little birdie told me we could do better.

    Out of contract players will all receive their last 'loyalty' payment tomorrow and then be unemployed until their agents decide that 5% of £5k a week is better than feck all.

    I had 450 posts to read this evening, hopeful for something of substance, but I'd thought I'd just have a quick glance at the last page, just in case.... 

    I don't think I'll need to go back  and read the previous 448....

    You are correct.
    No real rumours at the moment - nor imminent signings.

    Sorry but some of the above is bollocks. Like it’s a crime to thrive off of doing more than just existing in life.

    It’s like the sports in kids thing. Does every kid get a medal for taking part or do the winners get rewarded for showing excellence?

    Is it just the ‘taking part that counts’ or is the essence of sport as a competitive battle when a winner comes out on top?

    Its never clean cut. Everyone has a different opinion.

    I don’t think the attitudes of people on this thread are as clean cut as been pointed out - in fact I think it’s downright insulting tbh.
    I can understand both sets of the opinions and emotions, i.e. those that feel we should be thankful we now have a decent owner who is wealthy but maybe not mega rich and therefore is hoping to grow the club in a more sustainable fashion and then those who are a bit more impatient and feel perhaps that he and NA should have been a bit more conservative in their comments at the end of last season if there wasn't an intent to throw more money at player recruitment. I think we just have to be realistic and appreciate that, for whatever reason, Charlton don't seem to be an attractive proposition for a mega-rich Middle Eastern or Asian investor. As a consequence I feel we have been pretty lucky in attracting TS and need to be patient. He is enthusiastic and if he is guilty of being too enthusiastic in setting his future targets, that is not a crime.
