If not, it'll be difficult. 134 00:10:08,733 --> 00:10:11,235 We need to make sure that this window works for us. 135 00:10:11,319 --> 00:10:14,989 We need to make sure that players that don't want to be here are gone, 136 00:10:15,072 --> 00:10:19,452 and we bring in players that do, and want to work hard, and keep us up. 137 00:10:24,290 --> 00:10:27,501 Yeah, come on, Sunderland.

Let's play purple! 175 00:12:23,701 --> 00:12:27,037 He didn't wanna be here, so he had a conversation with Martin, 176 00:12:27,830 --> 00:12:30,416 and that was that. He went back to Bournemouth. 177 00:12:32,960 --> 00:12:35,004 The main reason is that I got called back. 178 00:12:35,087 --> 00:12:37,506 I would have stayed if I needed to stay. 179 00:12:38,966 --> 00:12:42,094 Because I didn't dislike playing at Sunderland at all. 180 00:12:42,344 --> 00:12:46,015 But little things did start to make me question 181 00:12:46,098 --> 00:12:48,976 how the second half of the season was gonna go. 182 00:12:50,102 --> 00:12:53,439 If you haven't really spoken to a new manager when he comes in... 183 00:12:54,398 --> 00:12:56,108 or if you start getting taken off. 184 00:12:56,192 --> 00:12:59,612 I was starting to get whipped off on 65 and 70 minutes, 185 00:12:59,695 --> 00:13:00,863 and I was thinking, 186 00:13:02,490 --> 00:13:04,283 "I'm not sure that's for me." 187 00:13:06,577 --> 00:13:09,121 Maybe it's a bit selfish, but I just thought, "No." 188 00:13:11,290 --> 00:13:14,335 Grabban has scored 11 goals this season,  three penalties. 189 00:13:14,418 --> 00:13:16,796 Then you look down the rest of the team. 190 00:13:16,879 --> 00:13:18,255 McGeady has got four. 191 00:13:18,589 --> 00:13:21,217 Honeyman has got three in the Championship. 192 00:13:22,301 --> 00:13:24,428 Below that, you're looking at ones and twos. 193 00:13:24,929 --> 00:13:30,100 So, yeah, there is an emphasis on Grabban scoring the goals. 194 00:13:31,101 --> 00:13:34,313 The other problem is that when you've got loan players, 195 00:13:34,563 --> 00:13:39,401 their heart and soul, eventually, is not necessarily wholly in the club. 196 00:13:42,238 --> 00:13:45,157 If you don't wanna be here, yeah, fair enough. Go. 197 00:13:45,241 --> 00:13:48,285 But there's a time when you can go and a time when you cannot go. 198 00:13:48,452 --> 00:13:53,749 And unfortunately, we haven't got players in numbers... 199 00:13:54,250 --> 00:13:57,127 for to let them go, really. 200 00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:12,101 Good. There you go. 201 00:14:12,184 --> 00:14:14,687 Good. Check it on, Bali. Shoot! First time! 202 00:14:14,770 --> 00:14:18,065 Losing two strikers and not having a replacement is worrying. 203 00:14:18,148 --> 00:14:19,483 Run through, Bali! Run! 204 00:14:19,567 --> 00:14:20,693 There's no question. 205 00:14:20,776 --> 00:14:23,362 One of the biggest problems Sunderland will face 206 00:14:23,445 --> 00:14:25,447 if they're gonna stay up is scoring goals. 207 00:14:25,531 --> 00:14:30,411 I just don't see how a football club, in any division, in any league can survive 208 00:14:30,494 --> 00:14:31,453 without a striker. 209 00:14:32,830 --> 00:14:34,123 Fuck's sake, Bry! 210 00:14:34,540 --> 00:14:36,500 Grabs scored so many goals for us. 211 00:14:37,251 --> 00:14:42,006 It's disappointing for us that he's left, because he was our top goal-scorer. 212 00:14:42,089 --> 00:14:46,176 Obviously, Vaughan's gone as well, so I think we need a couple strikers in. 213 00:14:46,302 --> 00:14:51,932 We're left with Joel, Maja, two decent players, 214 00:14:52,016 --> 00:14:55,603 but untested and inexperienced at this level. 215 00:15:06,071 --> 00:15:06,947 Morning. 216 00:15:07,573 --> 00:15:11,160 It was forecast, but I didn't think we'd get this much in an hour. 217 00:15:11,243 --> 00:15:13,245 Nigh on an inch. My god! 218 00:15:13,329 --> 00:15:16,498 I was only out there 40 minutes ago, and it was perfect. 219 00:15:16,916 --> 00:15:20,502 I've gone down there now with a ball, and it's starting to drag a little bit. 220 00:15:20,586 --> 00:15:23,714 So it's just a case of what the management want to do. 221 00:15:25,090 --> 00:15:28,886 Believe me, there's nothing I hate more than snow. I absolutely detest it. 222 00:15:30,346 --> 00:15:33,015 It's frustrating. I know they wanna get out there to train, 223 00:15:33,098 --> 00:15:35,726 but to shift that amount of snow, in that amount of time, 224 00:15:35,809 --> 00:15:37,186 it just isn't gonna happen. 225 00:15:37,269 --> 00:15:39,188 At least it's nice for the kids, isn't it? 226 00:15:42,232 --> 00:15:43,359 I'm getting bombarded. 227 00:15:43,442 --> 00:15:45,319 We're gonna blast the first team. 228 00:15:45,694 --> 00:15:48,113 Tex is locking that door, 229 00:15:48,197 --> 00:15:49,573 and we're gonna hit them all. 230 00:15:53,077 --> 00:15:54,495 Any chance at opening the door? 231 00:16:08,467 --> 00:16:14,556 Embarrassing. Gimps. Little girls. Embarrassing. 232 00:16:24,733 --> 00:16:26,902 What a club is all about, innit? 233 00:16:26,986 --> 00:16:30,114 A little togetherness, a bit of harmony... 234 00:16:31,782 --> 00:16:33,075 a bit of unity. 235 00:16:33,367 --> 00:16:34,743 That's what it's all about. 236 00:16:34,827 --> 00:16:37,913 Everybody chipping in, getting the pitch ready, get a session on. 237 00:16:38,372 --> 00:16:40,582 Get three points, and we're looking rosy again. 238 00:16:41,041 --> 00:16:43,627 I'm sick of saying that. "Three points against this team." 239 00:16:43,711 --> 00:16:45,963 I wanna stop saying it. Then we might get three. 240 00:16:49,091 --> 00:16:50,634 Just a normal day training! 241 00:16:52,011 --> 00:16:53,679 Big fella, what's happening? 242 00:16:56,015 --> 00:16:59,518 They're desperate to get on grass to train that's what it is. So you can see 243 00:16:59,601 --> 00:17:02,479 we've got the team helping out to get training on. 244 00:17:08,152 --> 00:17:11,655 Have a nice workout? What's the matter? They keep snowballing you? 245 00:17:12,948 --> 00:17:16,618 This is brilliant. Fair play to everybody. Fantastic. 246 00:17:16,702 --> 00:17:19,413 It's pointless clearing the training ground's pitch. 247 00:17:19,496 --> 00:17:22,124 It'll come down again. We've got some shelter here 248 00:17:22,207 --> 00:17:25,377 'cause of the way the pitch is and the way the stadium is built. 249 00:17:25,461 --> 00:17:28,756 This is the last snow for lunchtime. We can get on here at lunchtime. 250 00:17:29,089 --> 00:17:32,384 We needed to get on grass, didn't we? So, everyone has pulled together. 251 00:17:32,468 --> 00:17:35,804 Collective team spirit, which is what you need. 252 00:18:07,086 --> 00:18:09,588 The stakes for this transfer window keep getting bigger. 253 00:18:10,130 --> 00:18:12,883 We're not in a promotion battle. We're in a survival battle. 254 00:18:13,217 --> 00:18:15,594 Unlike previous transfer windows of the past... 255 00:18:15,677 --> 00:18:18,097 where maybe the club bought themselves out of trouble, 256 00:18:18,430 --> 00:18:21,809 the only option we have in this window is to loan players from other teams. 257 00:18:21,892 --> 00:18:23,602 Seen who's on the wishlist? 258 00:18:23,685 --> 00:18:24,728 Chris Martin, yeah? 259 00:18:24,812 --> 00:18:25,687 Who's that? 260 00:18:25,771 --> 00:18:26,939 Striker from Derby. 261 00:18:30,484 --> 00:18:33,028 That'll be good. We could really use him. 262 00:18:33,821 --> 00:18:35,572 He's good at holding the ball up. 263 00:18:37,991 --> 00:18:39,910 No, no, he is. I'm being serious. 264 00:18:39,993 --> 00:18:41,829 I know you are. I know you are. 265 00:18:42,287 --> 00:18:45,332 But I can't help but think you're taking the piss. 266 00:18:45,415 --> 00:18:47,668 I'm like, "Is he fucking taking the piss?" 267 00:18:49,753 --> 00:18:53,423 Firstly, talking about loan signings, are you any further down the road? 268 00:18:53,674 --> 00:18:54,925 Yeah, we are. 269 00:18:55,843 --> 00:18:59,805 We're quite far down the line with a player, an A club. 270 00:19:01,807 --> 00:19:03,016 Hoping. 271 00:19:04,893 --> 00:19:06,603 We'll have to wait and see, 272 00:19:06,895 --> 00:19:11,108 but it'll be nice to have a fresh face in to help the lads out 273 00:19:11,191 --> 00:19:12,818 and give us a bit of a boost. 274 00:19:13,068 --> 00:19:15,612 Would the first one, in a sense, be a catalyst as well, 275 00:19:15,696 --> 00:19:18,574 a signal to other clubs players are prepared to come here? 276 00:19:18,657 --> 00:19:21,827 Yep, I think it's fair to say that. 277 00:19:22,119 --> 00:19:26,498 In an ideal world, I would like to have somebody in place for our next game, 278 00:19:26,582 --> 00:19:28,876 and I know time is not on our side. 279 00:19:28,959 --> 00:19:29,918 Hi, Alex. 280 00:19:30,711 --> 00:19:32,421 -How are you? -Good.

Yeah? 283 00:19:38,177 --> 00:19:42,431 I think he would like the weekend to discuss it with his family... 284 00:19:42,931 --> 00:19:45,851 before coming up. He doesn't want to... 285 00:19:46,101 --> 00:19:48,812 If he's gonna come up, he wants to come, and that be that. 286 00:19:49,062 --> 00:19:50,480 -Do you know what I mean? -Yeah. 287 00:19:50,564 --> 00:19:52,816 He's spoke with Chris. 288 00:19:52,900 --> 00:19:55,861 He doesn't need to see the training ground or the stadium. 289 00:19:55,944 --> 00:19:59,239 That's not him being flippant or blasé with that. 290 00:19:59,323 --> 00:20:01,158 He's 29 years of age. 291 00:20:02,659 --> 00:20:04,828 He just needs to discuss it with the family. 292 00:20:04,912 --> 00:20:08,165 If he comes up, he wants to come with every intention of signing, 293 00:20:08,248 --> 00:20:10,959 rather than coming up, leaving, then thinking about it. 294 00:20:11,043 --> 00:20:13,337 You know what I mean? Doing it that way round? 295 00:20:13,420 --> 00:20:16,089 No problem. I take it he's still keen to come. 296 00:20:16,965 --> 00:20:19,843 He is. He just needs to get his head around it all. 297 00:20:19,927 --> 00:20:22,429 Just give us the weekend if you don't mind, please. 298 00:20:22,512 --> 00:20:23,555 Right, okay. 299 00:20:23,639 --> 00:20:26,683 All right, thanks very much. Cheers, Alex. See you. 300 00:20:26,767 --> 00:20:28,560 -Bye bye. -Take care. 301 00:20:30,354 --> 00:20:31,355 Bloody hell! 302 00:20:34,816 --> 00:20:36,902 You work all day, all night. 303 00:20:36,985 --> 00:20:39,279 You got a medical lined up for this evening. 304 00:20:40,155 --> 00:20:41,531 Think the player is coming. 305 00:20:42,449 --> 00:20:46,245 This is what I'm up against at the moment. When you are where you are in the league, 306 00:20:47,037 --> 00:20:49,581 honestly, trying to get players is just horrendous. 307 00:20:53,418 --> 00:20:55,754 Now, you're sitting and waiting to see 308 00:20:55,837 --> 00:20:58,423 whether you have a striker who wants to come or not. 309 00:20:58,507 --> 00:21:01,927 And if he says no over the weekend, you're back to square one again, 310 00:21:02,010 --> 00:21:04,846 having spent three or four days negotiating back and forth. 311 00:21:06,723 --> 00:21:08,976 And it's all about two things. 312 00:21:09,059 --> 00:21:12,604 It's about where the club is at, and its position in the Championship, 313 00:21:13,563 --> 00:21:16,191 and fundamentally where people think we might end up, 314 00:21:16,817 --> 00:21:18,277 and it's about having no money. 315 00:21:19,486 --> 00:21:23,573 And all that does is the fact that we'll get no striker for tomorrow's game. 316 00:21:23,657 --> 00:21:26,535 Obviously, he's not gonna be signed in time for tomorrow's game. 317 00:21:30,831 --> 00:21:33,041 I spoke to Martin Bain earlier on the way in. 318 00:21:33,125 --> 00:21:35,085 I said, "Have you got anyone lined up?" 319 00:21:35,168 --> 00:21:38,797 Because of the position we are in, players don't really want to come up here. 320 00:21:39,339 --> 00:21:41,967 And if they are, they cost too much money. 321 00:21:43,260 --> 00:21:44,886 Fucking hell! 322 00:21:46,388 --> 00:21:50,434 This is where we are at the moment, a position where it is sticking plasters. 323 00:21:50,559 --> 00:21:53,437 It's what you can cobble together on a Saturday afternoon. 324 00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:55,230 What 11 can you put out? 325 00:21:55,355 --> 00:21:58,025 What goalkeeper is confident at the moment? 326 00:21:58,108 --> 00:21:59,609 Which defender is fit? 327 00:21:59,693 --> 00:22:02,612 Which midfielders actually can do a job here? 328 00:22:02,696 --> 00:22:05,240 Which midfielder is gonna give us some consistency? 329 00:22:05,324 --> 00:22:07,451 Who's gonna play out front and score goals? 330 00:22:07,534 --> 00:22:09,786 There's a myriad number of problems. 331 00:22:13,123 --> 00:22:16,376 Sunderland offloaded two strikers since the transfer window opened, 332 00:22:16,460 --> 00:22:19,504 leading scorer, Lewis Grabban, who's hit 12 this season, 333 00:22:19,588 --> 00:22:21,590 and James Vaughan, who left for Wigan. 334 00:22:21,673 --> 00:22:24,134 Nineteen-year-old, Josh Maja, leads the line 335 00:22:24,217 --> 00:22:26,553 with a big responsibility on his shoulders. 336 00:22:26,887 --> 00:22:29,473 Sunderland have hit trouble and need to react 337 00:22:29,556 --> 00:22:33,018 before a bump in the road becomes a sink hole. 338 00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:37,481 Hopefully, we see a better performance. The issue is we're not attacking. 339 00:22:37,564 --> 00:22:39,775 We're still struggling in a lot of key positions. 340 00:22:39,858 --> 00:22:41,234 Ultimately, I just wanna see 341 00:22:41,318 --> 00:22:43,945 a team that looks to go out there and win for Sunderland. 342 00:22:44,071 --> 00:22:47,199 From Chris Coleman's point of view, he's looked at this football club. 343 00:22:47,282 --> 00:22:51,078 It's a huge football club. If he can steady the ship, 344 00:22:51,161 --> 00:22:53,622 come the summer, he can build on it from there. 345 00:22:53,705 --> 00:22:56,083 Because his reputation is sky-high. 346 00:22:57,250 --> 00:23:00,962 We're underway.
