It's needs to be mate. Otherwise speakman may as well just take his P45.
Question for ya mate, do you reckon KS gets the bullet if we fail to get a capable striker in?
Not that I want it to happen (not get the striker in), I value us having a team that can have a go more than his future
 
If Caen wanted to buy him they wouldn't pay more than €1.5m ...

... fair play to Sunderland for not caving in as we've done so often in the past.

Yes, we could easily pay another million but what if he doesn't fit ad he's sitting on a three year contract with no resale value.

Every player we sign doesn’t have to have resale value though, the gems we’ve managed to pick up will more than cover the fee in the longer run. Bayern spent £90m on Kane, his value is only going down.
 
I would think Regis would know him better than anyone else that's perhaps why we are persevering with the transfer and haven't moved on to another target.

I was told, ages ago, that the club wanted a CF signing and a young PL loan.

Everyone has been talking about Clarke leaving, for two years, so he no doubt will at some point.

That will help us sign players, or hold onto the likes of Jobe, as they know they'll be allowed to leave if they progress ...

... it's a win win situation and the first time I've ever seen us in such a good position.

If someone brought in to increase the quality of the squad, increased its value from around £10-12 million to around £150 million spending about £25 million, then I’m sure there would be some questions if they were fired.

All this speculation about Speakman being on borrowed time ...

... is just speculation and people need to stop being fixated with it imo.

I don't know another club, in our situation, who mention their backroom staff as much as us tbh.
 
Can sign a player who’s scored for fun in a top league and they flop.

Likewise can sign a nobody and they bag for fun.

For every Vardy there’s a Shevchenko. Mendy could be either but his stats and physique look great.
There's a player that I honestly thought would smash the premier league, such a disappointing time he had
