Summer window

Were we ever in for Cannon? I'm not sure we were. I think we wanted Rusyn to complement the strikers we already had.

 

Nothing like mayenda. Mayenda is a young lad who played for sochaux, french 2nd Division who were relegated to 3rd division.

Pembelle played for both psg and Bordeaux in the 1st Division, already made his champions League debut. Completely different prospect. Still young but mature footballer

He's not played much last 12 months, acl injury kept him out until Feb, and hasn't had much game time since then

 

And that lads is a wrap for summer 2023.

see yous in January for more fun

 

Any soiling of pants in the next window should be met with swift lethal justice.

 

well it was a big rollercoaster but turned out good in end

 

Wonder if 16 is still free for the January shenanigans!

 

Kristjaan Speakman said: “Adil broke onto the scene in the French top tier and despite his age, he has made a significant number of appearances. More recently he has not played regularly, but we believe in his talent and flexibility, and his potential to further improve in our environment. His challenge now is to break into a highly competitive team and forge his way in the Championship, but we are looking forward to supporting him in that process and we will ensure he has everything he needs to succeed throughout his time at the Stadium of Light.”

 

Signed for a Saudi Arabian club for 300 million pounds.

 

even Aouchiche is PSGs second youngest ever goal scorer

 

Sunderland AFC is delighted to announce the signing of Adil Aouchiche.

The attacking midfielder has signed a five-year contract at the Stadium of Light, arriving from Ligue 1 side FC Lorient for an undisclosed fee.

A Ligue 1 and Coupe de France winner, the 21-year-old has made more than 80 senior appearances in the French top flight and he was a 2020 Golden Boy Award nominee.

Aouchiche progressed through Paris Saint-Germain’s youth system and made his first-team debut aged 17, becoming the Club’s second youngster goalscorer after netting in a 6-0 victory over Linas-Montlhéry.

The attacking midfielder joined AS Saint-Étienne in July 2020 and went on to feature 77 times for Les Verts, scoring two goals and contributing ten assists in all competitions.

Aouchiche joined Lorient in September 2022 and concludes his time at Les Merlus with three assists and one goal in 13 appearances.

A France youth international at Under-16,17,18 and 20 level, the attacking midfielder was Silver Ball at the 2019 UEFA European Under-17 Championships after scoring nine goals in five matches.

****e shirt. Like a Kwiksave bag.

 

I bet there a still plenty moaning.

 

Right then, time to look at free agents... Anyone take Phil Jones?

 

Aouchiche rumoured to be free. If Pembele cost around a million I’d say we just about broke even, any more and a small loss.

 

Oh aye. Always.

Has been better recently mind they tend to be on Twitter when games on

 

Good night all…..

 

I think he was our top target to be honest. Might work out for the best though.

 

Aouchiche has Grealish vibes about him. If you watch videos of him he seems to be incredibly direct and aggressive in his running but in a skilful way. Really hard to describe.
