Put it this way...if we weren't in the situation we were in, with 5 loanees and a Marquis-shaped hole up top, we'd all be hailing this as a great signing. Sterling is a well regarded young talent, highly rated at Spurs and has England youth experience.

We absolutely still need an experienced, credible striker but this is a step in the right direction.

Not one start for Sunderland, 8 sub appearances. You would have to be some kind of footballing genius to judge him in that time.

Some positive comments from Spurs fans on Twitter about him. A few questioning why he’s never had a real chance at Spurs and others saying he’ll be a blast in League 1. Looks like we’ll have a pretty quick front line this season

He was woeful at Sunderland last season.

Ah well, let's stick him in the reserves then.

P.S. Marquis was 'woeful' at Millwall before we signed him on a free.

I’m only passing on the message I’ve been given. I’ve never seen him play. Hope he scores 30 goals this season.

So you'll happily 'slap in' a negative post on the back of 'a message' you've been given?

Grow some nads.

P.S. He played 8 games for Sunderland.

I asked a good friend of mine that watches Sunderland (and used to play for Rovers) if he was any good. Reply: “Woeful. Absolutely worse than woeful in fact. Typical academy player. Nothing more than a channel runner.”

His opinion. Hope he performs better for us.

8 games for them and 1 goal

168 mins tbf. So 1 goal in under 2 games.

Lets just be happy we’ve actually got a striker in, it’s what most of us have been whinging for the last couple of weeks is n’t it?

Looks a big strapping lad.

UTR.

Not tall certainly, looks stocky though.

I am guessing that this means we won’t be signing O’Hare on loan from Villa?

Doesn't need to be tall, we will be a passing team under Moore not a long ball team.  Don't hit high balls it's not a problem.  Pace and movement is as good if not a better out ball.  Wilks wasn't particularly tall and neither was James Hayter.

I say it's a good signing but do fully agree on the point of us needing one in permanently aswell.

Have we reached a loan limit, Dutch?

I liked the look of O'Hare.

Doubt it, the only name I heard was this lad from Spurs, and is certainly one of the ones DM has spent along time pursuing.

Them loan signings we had last year did nothing for us. :silly:

They did well mostly. But where are they now?

Would you rather not have had them last season just because they were loans or not?

I don't care where they come from or for how long, just as long as they bring something with them to make the team better while they're here.

Every side needs to be a long ball team at times.

Then there is free-kicks and corners.

And you just happened to get that 'message' precisely two minutes after he was announced........


I don’t make things up Michael.

Has this been complemented by a search for a striker we would sign permanently?

I’m sure the search goes in for a player to splash some cash on, but this lad deserves a chance. Who’d heard of Herbie or Mallik this time last year eh?

I didn't post it at the time though because you see.....I HAVEN'T SEEN HIM PLAY YET!

 SM Genuine question mate. Are you not concerned with the direction the club is going in with regards are own player development..I appreciate we've got the development squad but surely we cant just keep signing a squad full of loans players and starting again every season..There has to be some more emphasis into buying our own players at least the time cost and effort of developing them reaps some rewards...

 You know I've always supported this board from day 1 but this sticking plaster strategy just doesn't sit well with me...

Let's see how he does this season. Certainly a big season for Sterling as Spurs will want to see that he is ready for professional football and will want evidence that he can make the step up to a higher level in the future.

What annoys me somewhat is that Moore talked of signings with records as good as, if not better than, Marquis. Clearly, Sterling doesn't match that description and it does not appear that we will be signing anyone who does match this description any time soon. This begs the question as to why Moore would make such a statement and risk looking daft when it doesn't come off?

Moore did say a few weeks ago that he would consider having more than 5 loan players

nobody seems to have noticed it is a season long loan . If i hadn't forgotten about him I'd would have had him in the rumour mill yonks ago.

Did he never see Josh Maja play? The youth strike they sold to a French L1 club for millions last year?

I’m looking forward to how this pans out. It is becoming clearer that DM wants speed and skill, and is trying to bring in the best young talent he has seen.
I am imagining:

               Ennis.      Sterling
                     Sadlier
May.               Copps.              Taylor

The pace and skill should be frightening to most teams

Anyway.

Everyone at the club - Manager, Fans, Journalists who follow us - have agreed based on the first 3 games that we desperately need a centre-forward with some physical presence to get the ball down, hold the ball up, and bring others into play. There has been a massive and obvious gap in the team.

This is an incredible responsibility for an inexperienced young loan player to take up. Either he shines, or we fail miserably.
