Rather Critch steered clear of Lafferty , hoping he would target a young hungry striker ( aka Jerry Yates ) than a 30 something target man. We have Madine for that role, although I’m not overly impressed by him either.
Sunderland players were completely clueless for the early part of the season and the damage Aiden McGeady done for team spirit makes me think they are best given a wide berth of when picking through cast off players.
I was impressed with Watmore when he burst onto the scene with Sunderland. However, he's had a tough time with injuries in recent seasons and would be a gamble. Middlesbrough reported to be interested.
