Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Thank you John Hall, plummy mouthed plastic mag

 

All this Guiu nonsense is just distracting from the fact we still have no new centre backs not even any recent links to them. I know they come out of nowhere with us so they may well do at any moment!! But we're getting close to the worrying stage now.

 

I’m in Chester le Street now and my gym must be 80% mags. They’re ****ing everywhere. And most of them haven’t got a clue when you speak to them or listen to them talking in the sauna, exactly what you’d expect from the kind of nugget who only took an interest after the takeover. Ironically the banks of the wear are about 100 yards from the gym anarl

 

atm I can't see us spending 40m

give it a couple of seasons and we are most established then yes,

 

Yeah i'm getting a bit twitchy, could all change with a report tonight

 

It's not about finance at all. It's about the fact there is no long term commitment beyond the end of this season. Given that, I would expect they believe he can have a lot of impact this year, we aren't taking him on as a favour.

 

From the bits and pieces I've seen, I think Dubravka is better than Perp and Ramsdale.

 

CBs seem to be a hard commodity to get in this window, unless you spend 40m plus,

just because there is no new links or anything to that ilk doesnt mean its not happening

club has said that they are targetting that area,

just an annoying waiting game i guess

 

Chelsea aren't really a league rival tho, they are title contenders so even though we are in the same we are competing for very different things

Mayenda will still play loads this season imo

Guiu is a very talented footballer, who knows how well he will do for us but this is a low risk potential high impact signing imo

 

Yep, still going to get twitchy though until we get one haha

 

I’d be going to Arsenal for Kiwior and just paying me.

We can’t go into the season with no CB

Not my money of course so easily said

 

undertable,

I feel like we will do a Porto and just announce a signing that no one knew about until its done

 

The difference is crucial for me, we could have a go at West Ham with some good CBs or we could get twatted due to playing Ballard & Seelt

Ballard is the only one ready realistically imo

 

I understand the sentiment, but the fact you wished you were in Sunderland just means you wish you were the one doing the smacking instead of being smacked.

People in Sunderland, especially young lads from council estates were very capable of otherising Geordies, they were seen as fair game when I was growing up, might as well of been from another planet, I remember some lad from Boldon drinking with us in the Boroughs saying wor instead of our mid sentence and everything just went quiet, he would have got lamped if he wasn't with one of the lads. I realise how ridiculous that sounds now, but when you're young and daft you don't know what you're doing half the time.

I do think it's all a bit different now mind.

 

He would be a class signing, ideal 2 would be him and Diakite

 

Exactly this mate. I’m not old enough to remember because I attended my first game late 80’s and I was just a kid but I’ve been reliably informed there was a time at Roker Park where the Sunderland supporting Mackems and Geordies would banter between each other.

Then Hall (and Sky) started with their Geordie nation bullshit.

 

100% correct, he started the whole Geordie nation bullshit

 

I am from Boldon and have drank in Sunderland for years especially in the Borough and have encountered no problems apart from my mate's calling me a Geordie bastard .

 

Aye I’ve got a brother like that who’s come out of the woodwork now. Barely likes football, he’s all for his cars and bikes. Now he’s never got their tops off his back and talking like he’s the most passionate Toon supporter going. ****ing helmet.

When I was training in Chester it was a proper old school gym. Behind the vets just down from the train station. Don’t even know if that one is still going, it was a while ago.

 

If you ever drank in the Boroughs after playing 5-a-side in crowtree leisure centre you might be the lad I'm referring to.
