Wouldn't be surprised if that's why we haven't got Mendy yet. Could be waiting for him. Or another. Edit. Plus how the hell do a club that size go under? Ridiculous and scandalous in equal measure. Could've been us not long ago.
...and this is exactly the reason i like the current regime, everyone could spend plenty of money but there is more and more chance of it biting you up the @rse now.
https://x.com/englishabroad1/status/1816484496625045859?s=46&t=bFwez-5oi7CdxUG56_1QKg Incredibly random one but goes to show how much our academy has improved these last few years
The talent through our academy has risen massively over the last few years. However, I wouldn't underestimate the role the likes of Kachosa and Ollie Younger etc played in keeping our cat 1 status. Without signing the likes of these lads we wouldn't have been able to fill a team due to Donald and Co selling the crown jewels in that age group. Signing them has allowed the likes of Rigg and Neil to stay and flourish
That's a cracking point mate. Chilled the blood seeing a club the size of Bordeaux going the journey today, it could so easily have been us with the succession of greedy no marks we have had taking good money out of our club whilst returning precious little.
What happens next with this striker. ? Maybe we'll be in.? 'Best choice': £2.4m player explains why he snubbed Sunderland (sunderlandafc.news)
Just realised, so far, our total transfer fee spend is £0 for the 3 we’ve signed. Good business that.
Absolutely. I remember lots of moans whe we've signed young lads who are never going to get near our first team. But unless we have enough young players the u21s won't be able to play. It's also about paying into the football community. The club isn't here just to benefit our first team and city. Educating a range kf young lads must be part of the mission of the academy.
Horrific news & probably just the start..... running out of time for football to get a grip before its gone gone
Yeah me too and he can play multiple positions. I mentioned about him being available for free a few months ago on here but not many were keen.
French journalist says edging closer with Mendy and fee will be less than €3 million https://x.com/kreoscuba/status/1816519438201692369?s=19
