We are in austerity mode now. 19m net spend over the last three windows according to the Merc. Further highlights what a good job Big Claude is doing

Bloody infuriating!!! Just like Tory Britain!!!!!

Looks like we are concentrating on our youth set up ATM. No doubt we'll have a few bob in the Summer to spend.

Early front runner for angriest poser of the year awards.....

We have two good ones. Sadly the striker gets no service because the attacking midfielder constantly gets played out of position so the manager can shoehorn in 3 defensive midfielders.

How do you know he's a poser? 

[mozartfox]

We have signed a midfielder/of sorts -(Harvey) and this Ali chap will sign this week,  Fixed. 

[dmayne7]

[Kopic]

To be fair we have won a high percentage of games when the manager has "shoehorned" in 3 defensive midfielders.

Is it rudkin or puel, puel clearly stating he doesn’t need or want to work in the January window, he’s got lots of players unhappy with lack of games, and wants outgoing’s to balance the squad, is that what he really thinks, or has he been told he’s getting nothing, so is he being professional, and not throwing the people who decide under the bus?

 

 We have plenty of strikers and attacking players in the squad, but he chooses not to play them in the right way, defence comes first for puel, so as much as I would like to see better attacking quality players brought in, what’s the point of bringing players in  that more than likely won’t get used

Plenty of strikers???

Perhaps but only one good one who scores occasionally. I think there's a player in Iheanacho but probably needs to leave.

Okazaki is finished and has never scored or assisted at a decent rate.

 

Not many attacking players that are good enough for a team trying for 7th.

Gray - poor

Albrighton - works hard but pointless crosses

Ricardo - The best we have

Deidre - Really not sure about him  yet.

Maddison - Needs to step up

Sunderland til I die!!!

 

edit: Oops, wrong forum.

[Trav Le Bleu]

Yes, we do.

 

But right now, in January, when players prices are inflated and the best are not available either... probably not.

[Livid]

We've got a training ground and possible stadium expansion to fund, I fear we're tightening our belts.

[Dahnsouff]

Short term pain for long term gain I imagine

We also sold Mahrez for £60 million and Musa for £15million in that time, meaning he has spent over/close to £100million(?!) in 15 months here! Not exactly pocket change either.

 

Add to that the fact he already had players like Kasper, Maguire, Chilwell, Vardy, N'didi and so on...  Not sure the net spend thing is that amazing IMO.

I hate not buying new players, it’s the most frustrating time of the season for me when it’s so quiet  ?

Top and Rudkin wil be pretty pleased with it I imagine

[Toddybad]

I agree we need a back up striker and winger but it's not football manager.

In the real world football clubs don't just stack players.

Realistically we can let ghezzal and nacho go in the summer and replace.
