A lot of money for a L1 club. Peanuts for Championship. If we were in any doubt where Tiger sees us. Suspect he cant afford us to go up? That said, if cash was used on Cadden/Grigg I think we would be stronger all around. Suspect might be the NL guy up front. KR must feel a bit daft though after touting SB as a 10m+ player not 2 months agoLikely £4m including add ons.
Only if Grigg forced the deal through himself, and refuses to sign elsewhere. Sunderland are desperate to get him out of the club.
Fingers crossed.
Who'd have thought??!!
The one KR said we bid for but turned us down?
Now watch him sign an extension at Killie..the Scotchers curseWho'd have thought??!!
Highly highly unlikely.Only if Grigg forced the deal through himself, and refuses to sign elsewhere. Sunderland are desperate to get him out of the club.

Is O'Donnell the one who snubbed us after the bid?I’d like to say I had better news but as Far as I’m aware, we’re not particularly close on any. That’s not to say it wont happen mind you.
Cadden won’t happen - forget that one.
Fosu’s had maybe 2 or 3 good league performances in as many monthsIt just depends on how good Thorne and Kelly are for the next 3 months doesn't it? Keep Brannagan and they come good alongside Henry and Gorrin. We're laughing.
Think Fosu is a bigger loss than you're all saying, he really suits the way we play. Browne not as good, Holland who knows?
If I was to lose 1 of the 3 (Baptiste, Dickie and Brannagan) then it would 100% be Baptiste. Least essential by quite some distance.
This could ignite something great amongst the squad, we just don't know. ALL TO f*****g PLAY FOR.
f**k OFF SWINDON- whilst I'm at it.

I’m not 100% sure on that but he was the one that was closest to being a done deal earlier in the week, therefore I’d suggest he is the one that’s turned us down.Is O'Donnell the one who snubbed us after the bid?
Good words of comfort @ECYellow . ThanksHighly highly unlikely.
No, we got upwards of £2.5m, £750k for Fosu, and around £4m for Baptiste.
If that’s the case then I’m convinced that something has changed dramatically in the last few weeks off the field.
The club acknowledge on several occassions that we need to strengthen at striker and RB,
we make announcements that players are lined up,
we have a lucrative unbudgeted cup run,
we still dont make any permanent signings,
we then sell two key players,
we end the transfer window with no further signings.
Doesn't add up.
It’s all about cash flow. Tiger has never had the money he claimed. He’s cashed in on assets as soon as he can. He’s just been very very lucky that so many good players have come his way. If anyone actually believed that Tiger was investing for the future, today is the day you can officially stop believing. Unbelievably stupid decision to sell on the day before deadline day. If he had any ambition/long term vision at all, he would have turned down the Baptiste offer (I accept Fosu may well have gone anyway, given the clause), as Baptiste would still be worth £3m+ in the Summer. Feel sorry for KR.A lot of money for a L1 club. Peanuts for Championship. If we were in any doubt where Tiger sees us. Suspect he cant afford us to go up?

It also depends if Brannagan can get back up to speed quickly after such a long layoffIt just depends on how good Thorne and Kelly are for the next 3 months doesn't it? Keep Brannagan and they come good alongside Henry and Gorrin. We're laughing.
