Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Hope so. It’s tough to remove the factor of fame from it - and that reputation could be a factor in a positive impact from him tbf. But I’ll certainly be supporting the lad if he arrives.

 

And? We’ve just been promoted who are we signing as a better midfielder than someone who nearly won an invincible continental treble not last season the year before

 

I wouldn’t even complain if Xhaka came in and instantly took the captaincy.

 

Yeah I would assume so, hopefully isn't coming across as a pile on but certainly a ... Controversial opinion.

I did ask and was hoping to see an alternative better player you think we could attract though.

 

Maybe the most important? Pure experience and know how. He will borderline ref the game.

I dont think it would be the end of my hero Neil either. I would be salivating if we played a double pivot of those two. It could be so territorially dominant. We have to find a way of getting a share of possession this season...

 

Signing him would mean thr end of Neil surely? That would be a bitter pill if he doesn’t sign. Really hope he signs, would love to see him with better players and coming all the way back from league 1

 

FA Cup as long as we have a celebratory bus tour around the whole of the North East before finishing at Mowbray Park with fireworks going off

 

Jeff Whitely.

 

I would be gutted to see Neil go, if he isnt signing a new deal I'd want to get hkm a good move but it'll be soften by signing someone like xhaka

 

I wish the out of context RTG bloke looked on here hahaha

 

Not comparing them at all. Just pointing out that just because fans believe something, doesn’t mean it’s true.

 

Great shout.

 

One of my favourite Sunderland players just for the amount of times I sat in awe that a professional football player couldn’t control or pass a ball.

 

I thought promotion would have sealed the deal for him, the longer it goes on thr more I worry. Hope it’s not money and he fancies a stint in Europe

 

He was atrocious.

‘second touch is a tackle’

 

Of course it doesn't, same goes when people say someone would be a poor signing

There's no such thing as a safe bet signing, this imo is as close as we could get to a safe bet signing

 

FA Cup. Everyday of the week and twice every day with a Y in it.

 

Got to love the transfer window, we've signed xhaka won the lot, written him off and come back full circle waiting for another source to say if we are even going to try for him

Really can't see him coming but I'd love him here

 

Just realised Sacha works for sky sports Switzerland. That makes a lot of sense
