Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

[Southern A]

The derby will be the Sunday.

We'll have to ask Senegal for permission for him to play, I think.

good point

 

[Hudson92]

Sunderland Association Football Club are back

think I’ve now watched every clip and read every report or diarra and bulka now, both are way Beyond what I thought we would be doing this season

 

[CR17]

And the other 60 odd comments either side of them?

They aren't exactly calling him bad though mind, I wouldn't think it's anything to worry about

 

[Forpadydeplasterer]

good point

First league Derby in years. Sky will bend over backwards for it. Plus the police will want an early ko.

Got Sunday written all over it imo

 

[Southern A]

Ah man imagine if we can’t have Diarra for the derby because Sky move it to a Sunday

Will be even sweeter when Neil and Rigg boss the game against them.

Never for a second suggested they were. What a lot of them do seem to be missing is that a large proportion of our fee will be based on his potential rather than what they see now (which is obviously flawed since he's only 21).

yeh I suppose we have to give ELF some game time at some point

Any chance the Diarra transfer will be officially announced today?

Depends if we want to do proper media work for his announcement, if we aren't arsed then I can see an article saying we have an agreement for him

 

[Culinary]

yeah exactly

On the same basis, hopefully our fans can manage their expectations and be patient with him knowing that we've not bought the finished article despite the size of the outlay...

yeh the latter might be possible if Strasbourg want it completed by Monday. Might be a low key announcement and then media stuff next week before pre season starts

 

[alcoauth]

Probably some mild autism talking here but I'd prefer a quick announcement (so I can file it off and move on) followed by the scarf pics next week.

Defo keep an eye on Angelino, they need to finalise a deal by June 30th. Also, the price seems to have dropped to 12-13m euros according to reports

I’m more on board with that signing if it’s below £10m (I appreciate that’s an arbitrary figure)

Their midfield scares the **** out of me to be honest. Can't think of a more effective 3 than Bruno Tonali and Joelinton in the premiership as much as it pains me to say it

They are class, but Neil will snap Tonali, Le Fee will Meg Joelinton so many times that Joelinton gets sent off and Rigg will knock Bruno the f**k out
