James Olayinka is an interesting one , spent last season on loan at Southend in L2 , appears he can also fill in at RB too according to the Arsenal site.
Blimey! We are shopping in stores even Roland dared not go in!
Roland didn’t shop in stores, hence the duck tape on the shoes!
And yet we admire TS for his frugality.
Do we? Has anyone actually said that not spending enough is a good idea or are you looking for trouble yet again?
I believe we will have 3 or 4 by the end of the week. Crowley is on that list of potentials.
I wont hold my breath. All those that have been ITK have been saying the same old bollox for months.
FWIW I do believe we will bring in a few loans by the end of next tues. Might be the odd nugget in there but will mainly be (overpaid) kids from Premiership teams.

Do they? Don't see any mention of 80k. My mate reckons he was on around 50k in the Prem, 25% pay cut after relegation.
The first one talks of 70k, my two Sunderland supporting mates, who don't know each other have both mentioned 80k in the past, what ever it was 40k in league 1 is the main issue that is obscene.
Edit sorry its Rodwell on 70k.
Seem to remember the Netflix second series mentioning Rodwell on 60k/week in the Championship - they'd cocked up on his contract and didn't have a relegation clause.
He had three years to run, so didn't want to go anywhere, just take the cheques - they were pleading for him to leave, as they said they could get 4 decent players on average Championship wages.

Yes, there are those who said and I quote, because they heard the rumours of a tight budget, "And to think we rejoiced the wage cap last year was removed ."
I think the intended point was that we were pleased to see the wage cap removed, but haven't capitalised by sepnding - or at least not the extent of Wigan and Ipswich. In other words, not spending enough is a bad idea.

Wow, I really didn't think it was possible to miss such an obvious point so incredibly widely. That's actually impressive in how wrong you are.
Obviously it is early days and things can change but I would think TS must be wondering wtf is going on. He wanted exciting attacking games and atm if we played all day I honestly dont think we would score. Is Saturday a nailed on 0-0 before a ball has been kicked ?
I can see attendances start to drop significantly until performances pick up which will certainly cause ripples commercially.
Hopefully there are some serious discussions taking place to address the situation
Don’t know if it’s been mentioned but how much do we get from each stream we sell? Would it worry TS that if we’re knocking about in lower L1 come October then we won’t be selling many streams?
Our production can’t be cheap, paying minto / curbs etc, we need to be competitive or they’ll be presenting to virtually no one.

In terms of over all cost streams don't count for much. Before any production cost a stream is net £8. Especially the away game where the home team get some of it.
It's not a lose leader but isn't a significant revenue stream.
Can’t for the life of me see Lincoln City paying a player £19,000 per week……absolutely no way!
Have you seen the (supposed)Fleetwood wages? I'm not believing those.
It relates to the Premier League players wages that they had on loan. They were probably paying very little of these salaries, as we were certainly not paying Maatsen's & Millar's full wages.

Don't for get Matt Smith's. How could anyone forget him :-)

Yes, correct and not spening enough is being frugal, like RD who was, really , equally unwise.

All that says is you have 2 Sunderland mates who are both stupid..

Probably still 2 more mates than you have got if that is your attempt at humour.
I thought it was fair clear from NA's comments that the Pearce contract was as much to do with nurturing / mentoring the younger players as much as it was to do with being a back up CB.
You can't just reduce the age of a squad by kicking out every player over xx age. Younger players coming through need to see some older, more experienced players along side them on the pitch....not just words from experienced coaches in training IMO.
Pearce is also in the process of getting his coaching badges etc so I think that the extension was a fairly decent decision for all parties.
Exactly, you can't just drop the age and hope it works, even the 'can't win anything with kids' United team had Schmeichel, Irwin, Bruce, Pallister, Cantona, Keane, Giggs and David May (yeah I know, he won a Champions League medal) in that squad and team. You need experienced pros around the kids to help them develop
Agree with what you say, but the players you listed were good players despite their age. Watson and to a lesser extent, Pearce, are toilet.
Pearce is still a decent enough League 1 player, Watson is probably past it, but they along with Gunter, Washington and Matthews (who are still good players in this division) are needed in this group to give it a bit of experience. Hopefully we add more in the coming weeks
Matthews is not good, rubbish delivery and stands off his attacker allowing the cross in far too often. The sooner we get a left back I’d give Gunter a go. I’m not saying Gunters better but he deserves a chance in his natural position
Matthews lost the 2nd goalscorer Saturday (can't remember his name sorry) he had a 5 yard start & looked like he was running in treacle.

Indeed it was crazy, some clubs wont even be spending that an a combined XI.
