Still gets nearer to it than Hemir then
Would Simms and Broadhead have meant top 6?

Did Broadhead turn us down or was it that we offered him a cheap skate below market value deal?

that's turning us down. nice of clarke and roberts to agree to cheap skate below the market value deals the same summer mind
What should we have been offering what was then a sick note L1 forward just out of interest?

Disagree. Thought he did well for us.

We made a choice to go elsewhere - forget selling Stewart. Even before that we were tying deals for Jobe up to 3.5m to 4m, Seelt of around 1.7m, Bishop, Triantis 360k, Mayenda 850k, Hemir 500k etc.
Had we identified that we actually needed to spend on a striker who was ready to play at this level, which only an absolute fool wouldn't have realised by then, instead of trying for various types of forwards as 'Sunderland don't play with a traditional number 9' and bringing in countless cheap signings then we might have been able to stretch to it as Simms hasn't cost 8m just like Jobe hasn't cost 3.5m/4m and our total outlay before selling Stewart probably gets close to it.
More likely a case of wouldn't spend it, rather than couldn't afford it in total. They probably thought they could do better or as well as they'd had a bit of luck up until then and they were wrong.
Maybe the same as we offered sicknote Pembele on his 5 year deal?
This.
I watch our striker, whichever one of the three is playing, offer to make runs every game with hardly any midfielder seeing them.
Absolute peanuts

You have absolutely no idea.
Watch them when the ball is played then, because I have. Easily dispossed, lacking generally in anticipation weak on the ball.
None of them contribute in general play to any degree - its absolutely frightening and people wonder why we cannot get up the pitch any other way than down the wings.

Yet they played int he same team?
I know roughly what Broadhead is on now. Pembele will not even come close.

Clarke was in and out of the team when he first came and broadhead injured now and again, doesn't really change anything broadhead only played a couple of games up front and odd time he has for Ipswich iv seen criticism.

There was one at the weekend where there was a pass on to Hemir with his back to goal, defender at his back, & I swear he saw who it was and (quite rightly) just turned down the obvious pass, because there was no way Hemir would do anything with it. Hemir just stood offside for about 5 seconds after it looking depressed.

What is 'roughly' then purely out of curiosity?
Pembele won't have come over here and relocated from Paris / PSG on a 5 year deal for nothing.
Towards the 20k mark. Would be among our top earners if not top.

Don't believe you.
Online albeit guesses, suggest it was more like 5.5k last year. Even if we assume he signed on 10k at Ipswich, which would have been a large wage for league one it wouldn't have doubled on promotion.
He’ll have been on more than 10k at Everton surely. And yeah, he was being paid a massive L1 wage at Ipswich. Why do you think he dropped down a league to play for them
Either way. There’s no way he was on 5k. Could have earned more at any Championship club rather than sitting in Everton’s 23s
