worried about january sales

[millermay1968]

Not sure how much cash we have and everyone apart from TP know where we need to strengthen,we need pace and creativity but ive got a feeling he is going to opt more for strength as aposed to what we need.Please no more 8ft centre halfs and bulky midfielders or im afraid we might blow all the hard work pre january .Does anyone know who will be released?

[daverichards]

I'm not , I think we'll be raiding the east end fire sale at wet sham amongst others .

[millermay1968]

What worries me is that pullis will opt more for strength against skill and pace which at the moment we have little,i hope he does buy what we need and not more of the same because by doing that its just going to increase the wage bill,making room on the wage bill would be a good start

i honestly think tone will try sign akinbyi please dont but with sunderland in the shit and wanting to offload.

[dadofsam]

we've needed pace, skill and alternative striking options since Pulis arrived and he has totally ignored them. It is not his priority, in fact I don't think it's on his agenda at all except for the odd token who he'll never play.

Why should January be any different?

the better players are not available in january, so we will only realistically get back up players. so we need to see which sort of back up players for other teams could improve our starting 11

His style of football is very different to many,more old school and in that he would,nt know skill or pace if it landed in is tea,expect more of the same :(his past record does,nt hold much faith

better players ARE available in january, contracts come to an end in the summer and clubs want to get money rather than risking losing them on a free.

good players get signed in january every year, last season we signed whelan and gallagher (loan) aswell as making our loan signings permanent. whelan and gallgher were creative additions too! im optimistic about january myself.
