Money has to put a club at an advantage, but Sunderland are a great example that it isn't everything. They won't be getting relegated anytime soon though. It is a shortcut. I think the smaller clubs can build and get momentum but when they lose it, they have to rebuild from a lower point. Where a richer club can change things for the better far more quickly. It is never a given though.0

I’d like him as a signing, but I think we will have more success picking up 1st year Loanees rather than ones with experience at this level sadly.
Completely agree and I expect Hull to take him back or at least another champ club to come in for him but, here's to hoping.1 -
soapboxsam said:The reason Nigel Adkins wasn't having a holiday this summer was he was working on the squad for next season to emulate Hull City.
Thomas Sandgaard stated we will blow League 1 out of the water.
We will bring in quality but I'm expecting some to be underwhelmed at first.
I hope we are more advanced in transfer business than when we kicked off at Sunderland a few seasons ago and lost 2-1 to a late goal after Grant and Taylor looked good in Tandem. We should be as we have a better team including the owner preparing our squad.0 -

"could do better" was often quoted. Can we, is the question.0 -

The Fraser to Wigan rumour originated from a post Fraser made where he was close to Wigan (I can’t remember where specifically). But Wigan fans jumped on it asking him if he was signing for them, he then removed the post.0

Thought the days of us needing to completely rebuild our squad from season to season was over?
Suppose the one benefit of us having such a poor squad is that we aren't worried about selling anyone.0 -
Rothko said:Wigan’s rebuild is also a lot bigger then ours
They offered 9 players new contracts and I think most of them have resigned. They have signed 5 players, not including Amos.
We have 11 players including a keeper that has never played a league game, a center back who averages about a dozen games a season and Pearce and Watson who have been told they won't be playing.
Of course there is plenty of time and I am confident we will get where we need to be but don't under estimate the size of the job. It's one of the reasons I want most of the out of contract players resigned.6 -
I like the prospect of Gregory signing. Good CF proven in L1. Also has the advantage that as he's been away from the sewage farm for some while, he won't need fumigation on arrival.3
-
I’d class him as a small upgrade on Amos so a good signing for us and a few years younger.But that gets us back to where we were, what we need next is players to come in and improve us.
Hopefully a BIG week ahead0 -

So much negatively on here.
Just remember.
The sun is shining
The birds are singing
And Ben Watson has signed for another season.26 -
How are people believing that Lee Gregory is coming to us?
Didn't he only leave the Spanners to move north two years ago ?0 -
What formation does Adkins favour? Some obvious weaknesses in the squad but does he tend to go with one up top or is it a 3???0

Wigan signing Jordan Cousins and Max Power starts a panic (but we’d be underwhelmed if they signed for us)
If they sign Scott Fraser that’s a 100% bedwetter that guarantees one promotion spot has gone (in the same way Will Grigg fired Sunderland to promotion).24 -

Leave no stone unturned. Which is where we will probably end up looking.3 -

Liverpool loan us a player that was never going to break through there, we give him experience and they sell him. Isn’t this what happens in football?
we improved
the young left back from Chelsea that went to Bristol city
bielik (spelling)
cullen

we left no stone unturned when we found Gallagher. Nobody had heard of him, one year later he was on loan in the premiership
its why premiership team loan is youngsters and it’s why our squad will be boosted with a couple more this season. We have a very good track record on developing and unearthing I know premiership youngsters. I have no issue with this continuing7 -
Not convinced with Gregory. Granted he'll score goals at league one level but i see him as too similar to Stockley. Both 6ft 2 and both the 'leading the line' centre forward type. I think we need to go for someone young and pacy to play alongside Stockley.
Unless we're going to play like the old John Beck Cambridge sides, there's surely no room for both.0 -
