    this is weird. Can’t be agent talk as he’s got three years left of a good contract at Leverkusen.

    can only assume it’s true we’re still trying.

    I think this is why homegrown lads inevitably move on to maximise their earnings. Ballard being from a prem club is irrelevant. He was never a prem player. Alese, Roberts, Cirkin also signed from prem clubs. Should they be on more than the team captain?

    If they’d have offered him same 25k as Ballard, and he’s hung on, and is asking for say 40k now, that’s not unreasonable.

    He’s signed for 4 years at a rumoured 70k a year.

    He has done his bit to support tha club financially for sure.

    Not as slow as it once was in my view. I really enjoy Seria A and it is played at a really good intensity and pace. But they do value players who can keep possession.

    Its all speculation, we have no idea what hes been offered, how often they have spoke or anything.

    This is where those that know a little need to use some common sense when posting imo

    Not good for anyone thr longer it drags on, needs sorted one way or another soon. Hope it’s with us, but I expect him to leave. A hope we’re offering him a good deal though, hate for him to go to anothe prem team

    He’s been underpaid for years I agree with that. Because he wouldn’t sign a contract though. I hope it works itself out at the right price I really do. I wouldn’t want to be doing the negotiating. I’ve got nowt against Neil other than my doubts about his step up but he’s also got himself into this pickle, like Stewart did.

    Once we got beyond the first 24 hours following the initial link without a report coming out along the lines of "Granit Xhaka laughs in Sunderland's faces regarding potential transfer" I've been quietly confident that we were still pushing for this one. Had it really been dead in the water I think the club would have made it known via Phil Smith and co. Here's hoping Xhaka fancies it and we can pull this one off

    I think you're right mate but I've got to say if I was told there'd be news of trying for 2 players today I wouldn't have predicted El Khannouss and Xhaka :D

    I just read that as ‘bidding war please’. I don’t think we’ll do that. I think they’ll need to change their mind.

    Inter Milan are in for Xhaka so I’d suggest we stop dreaming on that one.

    Yep. And a bit odd.

    Personally, I thought he was mad not to sign last season. The bonus for going up would have come, and if he tore the PL up, a move would come if he wanted it. Does he want it?

    He could get badly injured at any time. He could trip over a step at home and get badly injured. A player should always sign the first contract that can " set them up". Dan didn't. A bit odd.

    Who is his agent?

    People decided that Mundle wanted away before they found out he needed surgery. People will decide they know the score with Neil, even if they don’t.
