Summer Transfer window

Rude, I think he's pretty handsome

 

KLD ugly? He’s lush man!

 

“Big enough and ugly enough”… that’s a saying right?!? My mum used to say it about me growing up and I assumed everyone said it because I’m a looker

 

I was getting at more of the fact that Dortmunds model isn’t to dissimilar to ours just on a completely different scale. They’ve had some huge deals in the past and wondering how they balance not standing in a players way (I don’t believe we are with Jobe) and getting value like Haaland, Sancho and Bellingham etc.

Bit of speculation here but it seems like the mighty mark has been hawking around the 25+5 to many German clubs knowing full well that was if we stayed in the championship.

 

I agree with you though. KLD in his first interview called people who still owned a decent % of the club asset strippers. He won't be arsed about relationships and it would probably save Speakmans relationship with the Bellinghams if he can just blame his boss

 

wouldn’t be surprised if Mark has told the clubs we’ll be a pushover and now they’re finding we aren’t

 

complete side point but lets just look at power dynamics

weve got speakman, an employee at a big club in a big league

the bellinghams, with generational wealth and potentially evolving their 2nd generational talent, on a pathway to two brothers in the england side

and KLD, from massive, unfathomable, egregiously opulent hereditary wealth, the former cant come close if he digs his heels in

 

He’s a handsome chap

 

where did mighty mark euphemism come from

whats the back story lads

 

Wouldn't read too much into it. There was that price in the winter window as a championship club and we clearly want more now as a premier league club.

Will end up somewhere in the middle.

 

I fear I've started something I didn't mean to.

 

Surprised it’s gone on aslong as it has, looks like both sides trying to force the others hand he’s 100% away, I love jobe and would be over the moon if he stayed but I’d rather it was done soon than it drags on for weeks on end

 

The very fair release clause he has is enough to not turn younger players off about coming here no matter how this plays out.

 

no but the media narrative that Jobe wanted to move to Dortmund, we verbally agreed a fee we’d sell him for but then went back on it, might. Even if we all know that isn’t what’s happened

 

This. I want him gone now simply because he wants to go so we’ll nail a deal but I applaud KLD or whoever it is on this one because they are a case rich club and we want to be there with them. We won’t by caving in. Personally the sell on is the extra if want. They’ll make their killing from Real Madrid or city or similar for daft fees if he gets there and I’d like a healthy % if so.

 

I know we hate him but remember when Methven said we aspire to be like Dortmund, and I think that was a fair comment. Well here we ****ing are and it was no thanks to him.

 

Sorry duplicate post !

That’s another thing he got wrong. We don’t aspire to be anyone. We have the Sunderland model, and there’s nobody doing it like we are.

 

We are sunderland. And I am Regis Le bris.

 

Speakman: "Tell you what Mr Bellingham. We'll let him go for 30 + 5 and a 20% sell on but you have to contribute your agents fee on top of that."

See how keen Mark Bellingham is then
