If they offer decent money in the 4 to 5 million range I think he would be sold. He's obviously injury prone and we only bought for 750,000 pounds gone next lol?
Listening to radio 5 live on Wednesday and they said,when he was subbed he walked straight down to the dressing rooms and appeared furious at being brought off, maybe there's a bit of friction between him and the manager or just a moments reaction at being brought off, I noticed nobody else has mentioned this. If there is something in it may give this transfer rumour legs.
You've got yourselves a little M'Vila situation... 6 months left, name ya price. Anything more than a relative fee and (because he's not as good or anywhere near as reliable as M'Vila) you're gonna see what the boot looks like on the other foot.
But Denayer is only a loan deal mate. We all know the Hoff is a bit fragile but he's probably our best ball player by a long way, he picks out some brilliant passes and reads the game very well. We don't have any other player with those qualities so i would keep him. If we got £4m for him, which i doubt we would to a german club, what replacement could we get for that amount? i say we keep him.
if we sell Kirchoff we need to buy Fellaini - its a sorry state as we've no money Kone and/or Pickford to be sold ? We nearly always find ourselves in these situations - not a single manager/owners fault but a constant feature of Sunderland in my lifetime - I'm 60 - I,m sick as a chip but still Sunderland daft Saw Bobby Kerr in Hastings Hill last night - now thats the sort of player we need with attitude skill composure and determination - imo
He'd need to lose a bit of weight first mate I reckon we'd get £2m for the Hoff at best, but for argument sake, lets say £4m, that wouldn't get us Fellaini or anyone else of his caliber so we'd need to sell others to cover a position which we are very light in (midfield). Our only real assets are Pickford, Kone, Borinni, Defoe, and now i'm struggling. Losing anyone of them would severely weaken our team/squad. Do we really need to go down that road just to make a couple of million on the Hoff?
I certainly don't want to sell or lose any from our wafer thin squad - I just hope cash suddenly appears and Baine has being doing some Fergie psychology -poker man - lol I think Moyes will be able to revitalise Fellaini and his acquisition is worth a taking a hit in the FFP - we must stay up - KTF
Fully agree on both counts and like you, i just hope Baine is bluffing, otherwise we really are in trouble.
I hate players that do this. Us fans arent happy either that he hasnt been fit enough to play most games this season so what makes him think hes unsubbable when he finally does make himself available?
Yeh I would keep him But will we ????? I'm just saying if he goes Deneayer will have to do in the short term untill we get a replacement I have a feeling we will sell almost anyone if the money is right and an offer comes in I'm not happy with that but I think this may happen
What a strange situation. We have both a wafer thin squad and yet it appears we are just about at the FFP wage limit so we can't buy anybody. Agree about the mini M'Vila situation. Maybe he will have a pre contract agreement with HSV like M'Vila did with us.
