Summer '24 transfer window

So Gift Orban is the top target as per Fishpaste

 

Did I see a private jet flew into ponteland from Lyon yesterday or have I made that up? If true, **** it I believe

 

This, he’ll have top league clubs across Europe looking at him on a loan deal

 

I want to believe it so therefore this is true.

 

I'd never heard of him until yesterday and ive seen people say it's unrealistic and ambitious. Maybe I don't watch or read about football as much a I think I do

 

Cardiff will want the player but because of psr rules will loan him for a fee (probably half his cost) to their sister club until they are on more stable ground financially. The sister club picks up his wages so cost to Cardiff is minimal and just some underhand dealing by Vincent Tan. Job done.
All speculation on my part but it gets him registered as a Cardiff player for minimal cost to Cardiff.

 

It seems highly unlikely to me, but it would be an exciting signing. A loan though and probably not an affordable option either so not a player we'd own.

 

Mmmmmm

 

Banned myself from looking into any links today until they’re holding the scarf expecting the two centre mids and nout else that way I can’t be disappointed

 

I will be not happy at all if we don’t get a striker

 

I'm past the point of looking for and at negatives mate, there's loads to be positive about and I'd rather look at them.
The anger and outrage regarding most things these days is way behind what's reasonable.

 

We have no say in our recruitment
And just have to accept that

 

100% mate, isidor is still an exciting addition no point worrying about what happens ‘if he gets injured’ what if he doesn’t and he scores 25? Both hypotheticals that count for nothing at this stage, still think we’re in for a good season whatever happens today

 

Keep the faith and all that mate, going to be a long old day though!

 

This would be some signing, would likely be a big chunk of the Clarke/Ekwah money

 

Probably a loan with an obligation IF we go up.

Never heard of the fella. My finger has been off the pulse since our relegation from the Prem and retirement from Football Manager back in 2018.

 

Régis Le Bris has hinted that defensive reinforcements are unlikely to be a priority on an otherwise busy deadline day for Sunderland.

Very good player, scored 9 in 10 in Europe last season - struggled in the league last season, only scored 4

The season before he scored 15 in 16 games in belgium and before that 16 in 26 in Norway

Would be a step up on everyone else weve been linked with

 

Attack is the best form of defence.

Just hope we have enough to keep going until January.
