Sorry to P**s in everyone's horlicks, but we are still a forward short........Marriott. obviously.

Sunderland fans are pissed.

Quality signing for sure. We have decent defence, high quality midfield, still short up front for me, lots of chances will still go begging, but hopefully we will concede less, so swings and roundabouts.

Sod strikers. A good DM and you don't need to score all those goals to cancel out the ones conceded!

 

[CCYellow]

Is that it, can I go and have a dump now?

@Northstandboy
We desperately need a emoji!!!

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Jay Matete now you’re talking. That would be a cracking signing.

I might even turn positive for the rest of the season if he came here.

All aboard the Scotchegg positivity bus!!

 

[Leysboy]

I am so excited about this signing, and can’t believe it.

Best signing we’ve made in both windows.

I will remain positive for the rest of the season.

 

[East Stand Fan]

O'Donkor doesn't play central midfield though.

Yes and as we aren’t signing a striker now the burden and expectation is going to be on him to deliver.

 

[Leysboy]

Go for a read on the Sunderland forum to have a giggle. That brings back memories.

 

[Orkney Islands Yellow]

Is he fit?!

 

[West Oxon U’s]

That’s an impressive transfer window and credit to our owners - Cumming, Burey, Goodwin, Dale and Matete.

Got to be happy with that.

 

[Andy1505]

Been saying for months we need a defensive minded midfielder!! Now we have one!!

Let Matete sit in, Cam and one of RR/MM can then go forward and do their best work in the final third, and with two of Tyler, Dale, Burey, Murphy/Edwards/Browne wide and Harris and Goodwin fighting for the lone striker role that already looks a more positive outlook! Good work Des and EW!!

 

[Jster]

So where does that leave our first choice midfield now, out of interest. Ruben wide now? A nice problem to have, I admit.

 

[Northstandboy]

Bit strange when he hasn’t played a single minute of football for them this season? Unless stats I’m looking at are incorrect? Hope he’s ready to go straight away

I can see he played 1 PL2 game this season.

Yes and as we aren’t signing a striker now the burden and expectation is going to be on him to deliver.

He will be at best our third choice striker, Goodwin and Harris well ahead of him.

 

[Canada_Ox]

Yes and as we aren’t signing a striker now the burden and expectation is going to be on him to deliver.

He’s third choice behind Harris and Goodwin. Has next to zero expectation to score goals.

Not the ST then

Who is this guy?

 

[FatOldSun]

When Des mentioned that he wasn't looking for another midfielder, I thought at the time he was saying that just to not alert clubs that we were desperate for a midfielder. Or to fool us. Who knows? I assume that'll be it now?

Sunderland fans are pissed.

Might have a few drinks myself and join them after that signing.
