Can you not find someone with more in common than age, form and injury record - perhaps with the same surname as well or at least nationality!! Spot on - 12 months ago £8.2m add at least another 10% on due to inflation £9m+ But, as Stewart Donald says - he's not up for sale unless he asks to leave. Funny thing is that the Chronicle ran an article stating that Donald had WARNED him he would have to hand in a transfer request - making it sound like an ultimatum when it blatantly wasn't
Was also highly rated at Man Utd - so much so that Mourinho wanted him to come to us on loan but Paddy said he wanted to leave http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/mour...-reveals-he-forced/15nsq8ve3w8m41tan05yljpfl3
But as said, We could have got McNair on the cheap. Plus you have to factor 12 months later and as Benik Afobe is showing the inflation is even worse.
Yep, Ball is in McNair's court now but if that request comes in I expect us to take the eyes out who ever wants him. Not of this 6m crap, he's worth more than that on inflation, but he had a grand end of the season and most importantly that Cruciate didn't go again.
If he asks to go it means we don’t have to pay loyalty bonus so makes the fee better as we get it all rather than having to offset payoff
Haway half job, get them copy and pasted. Stewart Donald has revealed there are other clubs closer to Sunderland's valuation for Paddy McNair than Brighton, though he would prefer the midfielder stays on Wearside. The Seagulls have so far had two bids for the Northern Ireland international midfielder rejected and Donald has revealed he hasn't heard back from them since the last one was turned down. Donald has already stated he doesn't want st season with four goals in his last five games. Reports in the national press had suggested Brightonto sell the in-demand midfielder this summer, McNair finished la were on the verge of signing McNair in a £7million deal. Donald took to Twitter to deny that was the case, he wrote: "No truth. I have not heard from Brighton since turning down their offer. "I don’t want to hear from them would prefer Paddy stay. "Also there are other clubs that are closer to our valuation than Brighton so I’m not sure where that story has come from. We will see." It seems Sunderland are facing an increasing battle to keep hold of their star midfielder, though, with interest strong. Brighton have had two bids rejected so far, the latest for £3.5million, while an unnamed London-based club has seen an offer of £3.75million knocked back. McNair has not indicated he wants to leave Sunderland, though he has spoken of a desire to play Premier League football again.

From this thread: https://www.not606.com/threads/censorship.360678/#post-11640483 Where I asked you for explanation you disappeared. Until you apologise for that ****e I’ll just label you a wum Explain who I turned away or banned or apologise for making up ****e then I’ll forgive and forget.
Interesting there's still no transfer request from Paddy. Not back for training yet but that wouldn't stop him if he felt strongly about a move. Maybe he finds the challenge ahead of us as exciting as a Premier League move? It's good thing if he's waiting to come back to talk to the owners.
