Summer transfer thread

Deodrant2 on RTG who is about as ITK as they come has just said we've received an offer for Stewart this morning...

 

For a club that never fails to surprise me I’ve never been more shocked by this mess

 

It is my interpretation mate, maybe came across as I know for certain but I dont! When you think it through though it is the only plausible reason I reckon. Contract lengths or money arent a massive challenge to solve IMO. I am not convinced Alex is fully bought into signing some of these young lads and wants more control over that. On reflection I think this may have been bubbling behind the scenes for a few weeks as the window rumbles on and he isnt getting control over who is signed.

 

This would top it off

 

Don’t think stoke have money to buy players

 

You are correct in one thing
We don’t know the facts
Maybe we will find out in 10 years time

 

He will be involved but is just a cog in the wheel when it comes to recruitment. For the overall structure to work we need someone more competent in that role. He's made too many errors now to be left in such a position of trust.

 

Yeah didn’t say he would buy them
However there is ways and means

 

there's still a chance he's playing a game of chicken with us.

relationship dead tho

 

Sky sports literally just said it’s not done. Reporter talking to Neil and apparently SAFC trying to keep hold of him.

Are they simply slow? Seemed to be real time reporting

 

Neil has been an excellent manager but has turned out to be a lesser man than I thought he wasWell the clubs bigger than Neil. Hope the money makes him very happy **** him. We move on

 

Sky reporter leaning into neils car chatting to him before he drives to Stoke.

 

Honest to god man I'm sick. I was only telling my lass last night how much we love him and then he goes and dumps us for somebody else the very next day

 

Me too, don't want him

 

This, I don’t want him back at the club if he doesn’t get their job.

 

Nah he’s gone, it’s dead Susan

 

the vultures will be circling whilst emotions are high. can see this going badly for us

 

decent summary that

I don't think there is if he's said goodbye to the players.

I suspect the Stoke deal was all agreed earlier in the week and today has been about hearing Sunderland's counter offer which hasn't satisfied him.
