Sunderland signed Danny Graham in September so AFTER the wage capgolfaddick said:
I wasnt talking about him as a striker per se......just that there are big players on big salaries that teams in this League have signed BEFORE the wage cap.Elthamaddick said:

You seem to forget that all other teams in the league put their squads together BEFORE the wage cap came in. Look at Sunderland. They signed Danny Graham. Do you think he is on £3k pw ??Dazzler21 said:If other teams in this league can do it on this budget so can we. Stop being so bloody negative.
It's CONSTANT.
Still just under 2 weeks left of the window FFS.
I know I am seen by many on here as pessimistic or (as Boris would say) a doomster & gloomster.......but some of you need to wake up to reality. We are not even playing on a level playing field.
Jeez this is hard. I'm going to take a step back as its doing my head in.5 -
Dodged a bullet so, had he signed but he wasn't properly committed he'd have been a flop. Just hope there's someone decent out there willing to do a job
And I suppose fair play to him for not signing for the sake of the extra money when his heart wasn't in it2 -
If people are saying Bonne had his head turned and that's why he was a bit shit recently then his head must have been constantly rotating since he arrived. He was largely shit before and after the QPR interest so I'm happy we got £2m for him and wish him well.
Any striker we bring in will be as good as him and other than being a body he will not be missed in our team. If Bowyer didn't want to sell then we wouldn't have sold.

Just spoke to him and he says he's heard nothing.blackpool72 said:

I think I'll give him a call and see if he knows anything.
So that is either good or bad news depending on what you think of Piggott.0 -
relax and let's see what the squad looks like when the window slams shut...rest assured that LB and SG are doing all they can to bring in the right bodies and if there's anyone I'd trust with the family silver to do so, then it's themgolfaddick said:

After we bought in Cullen, Beilik and Ward and changed the formation :-)BalladMan said:
Fair point on same number of points. We then went unbeaten in 6. If we do that from Wigan onwards, I will clean the sheets and make a fresh bed!!Cafc43v3r said:
We have the same number of points from 4 games as we did when we got promoted. So what you actually mean is this is exactly the same as 50% of Bowyer's previous starts to the season?BalladMan said:
Because they have been 'shit' so far this season. I hope it comes good, but the performances have not been acceptable since the new seasons started. It might be a hangover from relegation. It might be the teams are bonding, but Bowyer teams usually start the season pretty strong after a tough, physical pre-season. Its not happened this time and we are on the backfoot. Fingers crossed it improves.Cafc43v3r said:

I think Lee Cattermole was on about half as much as our whole starting 11 at Wembley. That's before they bought on Grigg and McGeady.
Sunderland aren't the only other team in league 1. I bet some clubs can only dream of paying what we are to some of our players. Most clubs in this divison would bite your hand off for some of the "dross" we have.
I have never seen a group of players, who all have pedigree far higher than league 1, written off as being "shit" after 4 league games. Its, well, unique.
We have been shit, compared to some people's expectations, we have used about 18 players in 4 different formations. Our season starts against Wigan. If we are as unbalanced then as we are now I might join in the bed wetting.1 -

Complete faith in LB and SG working their rocks off on the striker issues but what slightly concerns me is that it is notoriously difficult to find a good striker at the best of times. Under the constraints it’s going to be tough. Multiply that by two and it’s a worry. The pool is very limited and clubs are never keen to sell to rivals and out of contract options are also limited and sought after by other clubs. Nothing new you might say but at present we have Connor Washington and that’s it. Deadline day failures like in other years will completely kill off any chances of promotion this season. I though selling Bonne was good business but if we can’t get anyone in apart from another Josh Parker ( apologies to Josh who I thought did us proud) then we’re stuffed.1

Neil plays off 5.
I don't play anymore but used to play off 11.
Sam is also one of the tallest people I know .6 foot 7 inches.
I presume you also know him.2 -
Well he passes the height test so can we not just sign him?blackpool72 said:

Would take Hiwula, strong and quick, will score goals with right service.LargeAddick said:
Not keen on Bogle, prefer signings who’s stock is on the rise not demoting themselves by a league.0 -
The vote is going Bogles way, but I dont think thats how signings are made 🤣🤣

...as in the degree of the "jump." It's likely that we offered a rise, but if we ready into the huge "jump" he will have received joining us, we will just be guessing what our budget pw is now, from hearsay.cafcfan1990 said:
Thought you said don't read into the salary jump?mendonca said:I wouldn't read into the salary jump line. They probably don't even know of the cap!
This shows the real world impacts of Covid. Moving country with the family in current times versus a pay rise and the security of a 3 year deal.0 -

We obviously don't know how much Sunderland had left of their cap so he could still be on a decent figure, but I just remembered at the time thinking I was surprised they were signing him with the wage cap in place0 -
Yeah probably because people remember him from his days scoring @ Grimsby lol!0
-
Seeing this just hits home just what slim pickings we are dealing with. A combination of getting the deal done last minute and the wage cap, means whoever we get we are going to scraping the barrel, It might be a case of get what we can until January and then go again , when hopefully a few more players become available.paulie8290 said:The vote is going Bogles way, but I dont think thats how signings are made 🤣🤣

At the beginning of last season none of us had heard of Macauley Bonne and possibly Jonathan Leko but Gallen and Bowyer brought them in. They'll possibly be looking at players we've never heard of. I few days ago Schwartz fell into this category as well.14

Remember it's not just about signing any decent striker who may be available.
He has to fit Bowyer's gameplans and ways of playing.
Bow tends to like to play 2 mobile strikers who will drive forward with the ball and work well together.
I bet in his mind, he's still looking for a Grant and a Taylor.

Poor Sunderland.
Didn't they pay something like £5m for Will Grigg too?
Just shows that the market is fraught with danger and easy to make an expensive mis-step3
