Summer window

Joe Anderson going to Shrewsbury - he was the first to mention it. A couple of the new contracts. Suggests he's got access to information at least.

 

Would you prefer the unsustainability model?

We were well above average last season, very close to the PL ...

... that's huge progress wouldn't you say?

 

Mental that people still have this “we’re sunlun we’re massive we don’t need to sell our players” mentality.

We’re a championship club and as numerous people have stated they’re trying to follow a sustainable model. That means selling players for big fees and reinvesting in talent.

£20m for one player is a lot of money. Even if you only reinvest half of that you can sign 2/3 quality players for this division.

Ahmedhodzic, Cullen and Gyokores cost £7m combined. Arguably the best defender, CM and striker in the league last season.

 

this sounds more like agent playing funny bugger hoping we chuck more money down on his contract

 

This simply isn't true to anyone who's not a Sunderland fan, unfortunately

 

Good move for Anderson, just what he needs.

As for the Clarke speculation. Meh, until a bid is accepted its paper and agent talk

 

We should tell him to pack it in.

Or tell Clarke to tell him to pack it in.

 

love the transfer fees argument, player not worth that much/worth much more etc etc...i would like you all to simply cast your minds back to 'dilibodji' (or however the feck you spell it) and 'n'dong' and recall that paying those prices at the time was basically our 'model' then recall where it got us.

we most likely will sell players we don't really want to but only when our requirements are met, i also (currently) have enough faith in 'the lads that know' to keep the club moving upwards with sound investment of all money they get.

 

Some random alleged Preston fan over the road claiming they've heard we've had a bid accepted for Cannon.

Passing it on for what it is.

 

I don’t think we’ll have told Clarke he can go for £10 million considering his sell on clause.

Agent pushing for it by the sounds of it

 

Unfortunately I think we'll sell clarke

Difference is this time reports are suggesting the player is keen to move on.

Just hope we get a good fee

 

Part of the problem is that we are not used to seeing players as good as Jack Clarke and we are frightened we'll not get another one as good.

Someone on preston forums says he's heard cannon is up here having a medical

Any news @Rade Prica?

 

I have no reason to believe that Clarke is unhappy here, or wants to move, until he says so himself.

I don’t trust any rumours about the feelings of players.

 

Yes, it has a big pull for any player.

But it is grasping at any chance to play there if it's Burnley in all honesty. They did very well getting up, but I'd make them firm favourites to drop back.

 

Or those who don't get asked!

 

Would love that to be true, pessimist in me tells me one of our itk would have posted about it by now

 

Man City are " debt free" because they hire expensive accountants and a battalion of lawyers to defend their accounts, which frankly are right out of Fantasia.

Correct about Utd's debt. But it is almost entirely down to rapacious behaviour by the odious Glazers, who have sucked over £1bn out of the club in various ways and allowed the Stadium and training ground to decline.

 

Few have been expecting him to sign albeit not currently saying he’s here.

 

I know we’re ‘in the queue’ according to Nixon, hopefully we’re next in line
