The hope on Wearside is that Mendy’s determination to move to Sunderland will eventually lower Caen’s demands. They are willing to go higher, but won’t go near Caen’s asking price, at least not yet. Sunderland believe time pressure caused by the ticking clock of the transfer deadline will break Caen’s resolve and result in a price somewhere in the £2m-£2.5m range.

That is the reason progress appears to be so slow, as it’s essentially waiting for the right moment to get the player for the money they want to pay for him, but it’s obviously a very risky strategy too.

Meanwhile, Sunderland also hope to land a second striker this summer, although it’s unlikely to be a name that especially excites supporters. The club are looking at a number of Premier League loans, which will inevitably mean a younger player.
Mendy and a loaned striker is fine.

Loaned striker by himself is ****.

Wish people would stop saying we brought in 4 strikers We brought in a FORWARD fro ukraine not a striker. A 19 yr old with zero first team experience. Another 19 year old with a handful of first team appearances and a prem loan with again a handful of first team games. Hardly gonna get the goals you need in this league

Don't you think posts would take forever if people typed out what you have every time. It's just a chat forum mate, people don't always have the time to explain everything in detail ... no one's giving evidence.

Plays off the right if I’m remember right so would make no sense him coming here unless Roberts is away

He’s twice the player Roberts is mind. Absolutely took the piss out of us at the SoL when they beat us 4-2, changed the game. Turned Cirkin inside out he didn’t know what to do. But I don’t think we’d sign him, been linked several times and have plenty on the right now.
