Would he cost a lot? Perhaps worth the punt?
"It's all Levy's fault"... How convenient.
Probably wouldn't cost much at all as he's leaving for free in six months anyway - just not sure he's up to it......Sterling or Parrott would probably score goals for Sunderland in League One.
Poch has been complicit in the signing of some (a lot of) utter junk. Maybe he is more reluctant to stick his head out now, given how tight things are.
More rubbish no doubt but this would presumably only happen if Pochettino thought the bloke good enough.
Now I have no idea if honest.
You get some strikers who you are sure will be mustard - Rebrov and Soldado for 2. You hope others will be good enough to add some quality in front of goal and where everything tells you they are likely to score goals and then don't, and worse is they look average at best - Llorente and then some strikers for whom you know it's a gamble but hope your club have done the business - Janssen.
Bizarrely a player like Adebayor who was much maligned would have been fantastic now but where are his type and would we go there? Maybe.
So I am stumped but that's okay because I am just a fan who expects his club to be able enough to plug the gaps before they occur and if not to sort them out now.

...Besides, he signed for the Chavs last January!. We weren't even pursuing him this past summer.
Celtic interested in Josh Maja too.
Celtic could sign Maja this month if he is loaned back to Sunderland

So basically "If they're shit it's down to Levy; if they're good they're down to Poch"....
I tell ya what's curious.... Levy get's slated for signing Sissoko; the obvious candidates accusing him of a panic/desperation move.... Turns out maybe Sissoko wasn't such a shit signing afterall, but here we are 18 months later and it's "Levy's tight! ...He's too fixated with pennies to spend the pounds.".... A man accused of £30m panic signings...
£40m for a back-up CB; yet apparently we are pussys when it comes to spending on depth too.

The fans deserve some answers because neither Levy or Pochettino has said we can't spend. We have also recouped money from sales of players (and wages) and yet nada.
Pochettino can continue to say we will wait for the right player or those that will improve us but where is any guarantee in that?
Since when can a club who don't pay the most or have the richest history rely on such a transfer policy?
He risks losing the chance to create a legacy or maybe he simply does not want one.

I think we just have to deal with the fact that until the stadium is sorted, nothing is happening within the club. Maybe some new contract announcements, but nothing in terms of player movement. Josh could be back on loan and that's about it.
Man I’m bored of reading statements like this. How the fuck do you know who were Poch’s “A-targets”? We have bought loads of players since he has been manager, you’re honestly trying to tell us that he didn’t want any of them?? Bloody ridiculous. In his book he talks about how much he had admired Wanyama as a player, of course he wanted him. I’m so sick of people around here thinking they know everything, when they clearly know nothing.
Fair comment, mate.
...Aside from the fact that buying a shirt of a match ticket doesn't come with the added guarantee of bi-annual transfer entertainment.
In which case, why bother pandering to fan insecurity, if it has the potential to mess with our negotiating strategy?
Besides, when Poch attempts to speak to the fan base asking for "patience" and 'deeper' support; often noting our financial constraints he get's fucking ignored and half the fan-base proceed to rip his comments into small pieces and re-interpret his comments as a declaration of war against the chairman.
I accept the stadium issues are a tough pill for season ticket holders, but otherwise our fan base could really do with man-ing(*) the fuck up!
(*No offense, ladies.)
They "often disagree"... Distinctly different nuance to your statement and not necessarily exclusively about money either.
FFS, if they were rowing all the time and agreeing on virtually nothing like you imply; he'd have left years ago.
And to counter that Pochettino then talks of being brave, Levy says the stadium won't affect our spending plans, we give significant rises to key players and back to Pochettino who says we are always on the lookout for players who can improve us.
So yes, if we are skint or constrained completely by the stadium expenditure say it, but you know...
Fair points, but if we have no money it won’t affect our negotiating strategy, as we won’t be negotiating for anyone anyway. I just feel people would be more receptive if they were told the facts. Bad example but the goons have done it, saying they can only get loans. Their fans went ape shit for a bit but Have come to terms with it now
...Until we in turn 'have' to announce ourselves 'back in the market again'...? Very quickly turns into amateur hour... And for what? ...Placating the melts....?
Fook that. Cards close to your chest.
You'd think so wouldn't you, but X-amount of our lot have already proved otherwise (see prev. post).
