Summer transfer thread

I fecking love Neil me. He comes across as a father figure to the young players in our team,and you can just tell theyll put everything on the line for him

 

Delighted with that.

 

Another piece of the jigsaw in place, onto the next one. Can't wait for the season to start properly

 

****ing delighted with our business so far.

 

I hate to get excited but the f**king Sunderland boys aren’t just going to be making up numbers this season.

 

really pleased with the way the club is being run now, not only keeping a squad together (still hopefull of broadhead - not ITK just wishing) but also improving it.

how often over the years have we managed to have a decent season with a strong finish only to have to replace 5 or 6 loan players and start again, we are not only showing other clubs that the club looks after young lads but also showing the young lads that should they put the work in, the club are not shy of offering a place...incentives all round and a great chance to keep that momentum going.

 

Nope. Not just scraping about for loans like some suggested. Good level of investment.

 

Yep. I’d bet if we’re willing to spend £4m up front on Clarke we’re not done spending yet.

 

For me it’s the utter zen he seems to be exude.

Seeing us walk out for that final we looked confident and excited but not very nervous, I’m positive that comes from AN

 

outstanding

 

man hug and back slap

 

I'm sure there is more to come. We will spend decent money on the right type of player.

 

I'm absolutely thrilled that we've managed to get Clarke permanently, I thought a loan would have been the best we could manage.

Clarke has the vibe of an old school winger about him, the way he can drop his shoulder and dribble with the ball. A 4 year contract is a great deal for us and protects our investment.

 

Reminds me of Chris Waddle

 

How many season cards did we sell last season out of curiosity? Just seen the tracker is about 20 off 30k.

 

I was talking to my father in law today who’s now housebound and telling him about Sunderland’s business so far I mentioned Jack Clarke and he asked who he was like. My first thought……..The Waddler! Looks lethargic and droopy legged and shoulders but then comes to life and can beat a man with ease. If he goes on to be half as good he’ll be a cracking addition

 

23k rings a bell, but not certain about that.
