Ugbo is younger (still experienced), has played in the Championship and similar price by the looks of it. I’d be happy with either but I think Ugbo over Mendy if we get to choose.
Tough one to know exactly, depends what bids weve actually had for our players. Can only sell if we get bids in for our players and if we have but they havent hit our price tag then i dont blame the club for not accepting. I do agree tho that we will only be able to really kick on with a big sale Be interesting what our budget was at the start of the window without selling anyone. I was thinking around £5 million so could be half on a striker n then the other 2.5 on a couple of players All guesswork of course
@FabrizioRomano Aston Villa have sent formal bid to Sunderland for England U17 striker Mason Cotcher. He’s already training with Villa youth squad and impressing with his performances. Villa want to anticipate other PL clubs and sign Cotcher as potential new talent for the Academy. Sickening.
Most have only happen this week - or so it seems Be interesting to see how many of them prove to be quality signings
I think we got up to a million for him with a sell on fee as well I think we will be due comp for Cotcher - unless thats what you mean by the million?
When was the last time Cotcher played for us? If he's still officially a Sunderland player then he must have spent a lot of time sat around twiddling his thumbs in the last 18 months
Excellent player, England’s best defender at the euros, which surprised me as I thought he’d be a weak link (admittedly didn’t really notice him in the premier league). Hope they don’t get him.
Four last year. Rusyn was a good signing before. We can’t talk hindsight he’d came off a good season and we chased him as our main option and got him. hemir is clearly one they thought would develop quickly and didn’t mayenda was one for the future and burstow was that loan option. just because it didn’t work out doesn’t mean we didn’t try
He's not our player, left us last summer, but we developed him so are due compo from any team he signs for.
I'm certain we get something. Either villa agree the fee with SAFC or it goes to compensation set down by EPPP. Would imagine it'll be of the ballpark of what we got for Okoronkwo. From memory Cotcher has more international age group exposure
Been on trial at about 5/6 different clubs in that time. His parents are right arseholes and the lad has been advised horrifically. Glad to see the back of him no matter how well he goes on to do.
