I'm not sure about that, are we stronger than we were last season? A season in which we weren't strong enough when injuries and suspicions kicked in?

Whether or not we've replaced like for like in terms of quality will play out over the weeks and months to come, thats the only real test, starting on Saturday at home to Bristol City.

Well suprise sufk8nprise 😄

I’m not surprised but I’m surprised (does that make sense?) we haven’t sold BBD. I can’t make any case for why we haven’t banked what money we can. Not going up with him, not going down without him.

Bonkers isn’t it.

Billionaire owners? What’s £20m to them I suppose.

Wouldn’t agree on that final point. We’d be in a scrap without him, comfortable with him.

My guess is he's agreed to sign a pre-contract with Sevilla, or someone like that, in Jan and made it clear he's not interested in negotiating with any teams this window whether we accept bids or not. Reason he's so relaxed about it all currently.

I think it's pretty clear that teams simply haven't met our asking price. I don't think £15m is outlandish.

I mean relative to the usual shit windows we put up with 

[Theaxe15]

Walcott being touted for a loan move to the Championship. Would take him for a season if wage contribution wasn’t too high. Good pro to have around, could surely offer something.

He doesn't want to be sold.  Why go Fulham, what a shit move....he will wait and get the best deal in summer

[TimmyJimmy]

All done. No more ins, no more outs.

Martin Braithwaite on a free? Released by Barcelona

What does he actually do? He made millions from doing very little.

I’m just waiting for the six-monthly Sharpe tweet which pisses on all of our chips: ‘Told Rovers’ business is done for the window’.

hearing rumours of Danny Rose to Sunderland lol - tony always did like a project. 

[B16Rover]

Wonder if Juan Mata fancies staying local now he's out of a contract, presumably has kids in school in Manchester and has caked it in for years 

[Darwen Rover 007]

Really think Dembele is exactly what we need.. gutted if we don't get him

Exactly

This is where we are at now the sale of him makes little sense because the money, not likely to be much, won't be spent.  Take off Forests cut and agents fees and whatever the player might be owed there's a bit carried over to summer maybe.  If the owners are prepared to invest again next summer though with FFP allowing it then his sale now is pointless.

15/20 mill hell yes you've got to deal now but anything less forget it.

Of course it shouldn't have come to this but it has so lets get the best out of him as a fan that's what i want to see not 8 million or so disappear into thin air and a toothless attack.

agents fees are paid for by the buying club - forest have a small cut of any profit - whilst Rovers will only pay up his loyalty bonus !

[bigbrandjohn]

Interesting comment Mowbray made about his new owners 

“ But I feel as if there is a plan from the owners. They are not saying ‘Sunderlandhave to win the league this year’. They want to grow this club incrementally, they don’t want to spend £100 million this summer. Put talent and quality into your club and let it grow.“

Looks like another journey then?  No pressure to get promoted. Luvly.  

[JacknOry]

Have to factor in the time in india now too. 10pm, BBD aint going nowhere unless someone bids what we want.
