That’s why you put the big money bets on younger players. Much easier to give them 5 year deals. Means he’s only a £6m a year hit to the accounts.
For any of the lads who watch their European footy, potential aside, as of right now do you think Diarra is an upgrade on jobe?
This is all I've been thinking since hearing this news and potentially signing Guendouzi... Few people saying they want RW links as we haven't had any yet. Well, maybe we have the RW deal in place and we're just waiting for Man Utd to seal Mbeumo... Ah it's nice to dream what seems an almost realistic dream now.
I'm hoping Tuesday is a big day for us....confirmation of DoF, Diarra, Bulka together with Neil and Cirkin contract extensions. Haway the scarf and pen in hand pics!
From the end of the northern echo’s article about Diarra Sunderland are also closing in on a deal for Polish international goalkeeper Marcin Bulka. The club have held talks with Nice over the shot-stopper, who is understood to have expressed a desire to move to Wearside and test himself in the Premier League. Nice's former sporting director, Florent Ghisolfi, is set to join Sunderland's executive team in a senior role alongside Speakman.
What a time to be a Sunderland fan. Imagine this thread right now if we’d lost the playoff final. Soak this in lads. Soak this in.
We’ve still got a lot to play with too I think, that’ll be the jobe/ekwah/watson money accounted for. Exciting few weeks ahead
I don’t think Jobe will ever regret his move to Dortmund. It was clear the plan was to skip the premier league. But I wonder if Watson is having any regrets just yet? A season of PL2 versus a season at the club you support on a magic carpet ride.
