Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Was Footballinsider (Pete O'Rourke)

 

The whole thing is absolutely wild.

I bet there are talented young PL players begging their agents to get them to Sunderland ...

... and compete with young lads coming through the academy.

Amad would love it if he came here, absolutely love it it

 

Thats why we have to keep the pathway the the first team open, show these young kids they will get their chance if they prove themselves

 

there is our Neil replacement perhaps, if he goes. Give him plenty of time to bed into our club/philosophy as our 6th choice central midfielder, but he’ll be needed by the time of AFCON and will play minutes in the PL.

I would rather a first choice striker and right winger come in, but actually I wouldn’t mind a striker with big ceiling like Gueye at Metz instead.

what a time to be alive. If we can convince Xhaka to join, the world is our oyster.

 

Was first flagged up to me by this post:


Then tuned in to a few of the games and his pressing and drive to win the ball back is pretty great, makes me think the link could be realistic.

 

Got a feeling aleksic will learn a lot of xhaka, although he's not had much playing time I think there's something about him

 

Hea a young lad in a foreign country, just learning the game.

He needs time on the pitch now, there's clearly a talent there, he needs to use it

 

Or maybe we just really wanted xhaka and kld done all he could to make it happen then goes and leaves it to the others again

 

Sad I know but I did wave

 

Not sure albanians and serbs get on, but probably not going to be petty about that haha.

 

I wonder us signing Xhaka makes players like Lucumi sit up and pay attention a bit. I feel it can really help our profile and even more attraction to this ambitious project

 

Yeah. Theres definitely a player in there. Been used on the wing rather than his prefered position

 

He hasn't looked that bad on the wing, maybe its the clubs way of introducing him into the team, not as much responsibility when hes out on the wing?

 

I don't believe KLD will involve himself in every situation, such as Xhaka, but it shows it's a team effort.

RLB was primarily the main mover for Le Fée and Speakman brought in Jobe.

Murty was probably Watson and Doris the tea lady is responsible for the chocolate eclairs ...

... it's like a well oiled machine

 

Just flew over my house!

 

Mostly this I think. Or why bother going out and hiring all these dudes in suits and dark glasses?

( They do wear suits and dark glasses I take it?)

 

Nothing beats a Jet2 holiday

 

Touchdown
