We can't do more than offer our valuation and then it's up to the selling club. I think Sunderland are being pretty clear with other clubs and not playing games ... ... if a deal doesn't look like it's happening we can't just keep back offering more and more.
That's what we have to be aiming for ultimately. I know injuries will kick in, but if we can have 5-7 genuine options off the bench we are in busines
Neal Maupay available from Everton I bet he’s picking up a serious wage there. Will probably still get himself a PL move despite a poor goal scoring record in recent years.
Spot on. Le Bris has said a few times that the Championship is a really long season. It looks like he will have been pushing for us to upgrade the quality of the squad depth to help keep our form up.
Based purely on certainty in reporting from various sources I think there may already have been medicals for Mendy, Simic and the Serbian lad with deals almost agreed or even previously agreed but not completed as yet.
Looks like we’ve stepped up the calibre of players we’re bringing in, some of these lads won’t be coming here to sit on the bench week in week out. Be some good competition for places
Aleksic is definitely here to play, he's had some big clubs look at him as Scout said. He wants to play and develop. Makes me think for sure both Adil and Pierre are away. Especially as this lad from Lens has been touted as a replacement for Ekwah.
By Alan Nixon Luton Town and Hull City have joined Sunderland in making bids for Leicester City’s Tom Cannon. The Hatters followed up an initial interest by tabling an offer of around £6 million which tops their rivals. Hull have also made an official move while Sunderland are in but may not increase their offer. Foxes are hoping for a bid up to £10 million but may have to take less. Sheffield United and Stoke City are also keen but both are only currently talking about loan to possibly buy arrangements. Burnley could make a late move if they sell Lyle Foster before the window shuts
The Luton bid for Cannon is interesting considering they’ve got Adebayo and Morris already at the club…
People running the club are a lot more sensible and professional compared to SAFC owners and management for many , many years . I would be very surprised if we were taken to the cleaners by other clubs .
They’d do well to get 10 million for Cannon like but nothing would surprise me in this transfer window.
