SHARE Sunderland have apparently not taken Andreas Samaris off their list of targets. The Black Cats got close to finding a deal to sign the player from Benfica last January, but a late attempt to drop the price or get a loan move ended up killing the transfer. During the past few months, the Portuguese press have repeated a Sunderland transfer is still possible in the summer, since the player is still on the transfer market. please log in to view this image Now according to Record, Sunderland and Benfica have reached an agreement in principle for the player to move. The newspaper claims David Moyes’ side would pay something around €20m for Samaris, which is the price Benfica have wanted all along. The only condition for the deal to happen is that Sunderland must stay in the Premier League. Both because they would not invest that much money on a single player if relegated to the Championship, and also because the midfielder would only want the move if it it means Premier League football.
Thought they meant that fella from Man City and Celtic at first, nearly fell of my chair at the 20m euros price tag!
Season ticket sales pitch. Danny graham will be coming back hehe. Berbatov was available on a free, should have took a chance. Too late now them days have gone of signing £15 m players under Short, last summer was the time we HAD to buy a striker more than any other time, and this is the net result. Get in for Gayle in the summer he will do the job in the championship.
Also, any truth in the rumour that if Arsenal Wenger leaves Arsenal in the summer they have George Osborne lined up to replace him.
Sunderland staying up and signing him is like Michelle Keegan saying she'd let you shag her but youve got to beat Mike Tyson in a bareknuckle fight first.
Would you have a go though? Chances are you're getting your grid butchered to ****, but there's a chance he could slip and a swift punt to the head and you're ****ing laughing, balls deep in Keegs for the worst 5 minutes of her life.
"The only condition for the deal to happen is that Sunderland must stay in the Premier League" Oh well. I actually agree with Monty, season ticket sales pitch (if they're coming up for renewal?).
