Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

You know its quiet when the wordle thread is at the top of the forum

 

You might be right, I don't know the ins and outs of their finances. But there's a huge list of players they want rid of and even if not for financial reason they need tem out cos their squad is so bloated they've got so many players they can't make use of them all.

 

Michail Antonio leaving west ham on a free

 

Around 35mill for Pietro Comuzzo who is 20 could be worth a risk if he as good as people are saying

 

I think that's a lot of money for a relatively inexperienced kid, but I do absolutely get he's very highly rated.

I don't think this one has much chance personally.

 

All signings are a risk to an extent but this is a position I’d rather we didn’t take a big gamble on, like the idea of an experienced centre back in the bade and diakete mould with a cresswell or the spurs kid as the other option

 

Nothing been said on Diakite for a while now. Would love to think it’s one we’ve been working away on in the background (based on other people’s opinion of him).

 

He’s the dream for me, bade a close second this is purely based off YouTube compilations like so could be ****e for all I know

 

Agree,but he's the kind of player we go for.

 

Feels like we are stuck on a loop waiting for a centre back, West Ham is next week

 

Fear not....we are in good hands!

 

Think we need to reign ourselves in a bit. A lot of top clubs also need cb’s. The likes of bade diakite etc will surely have better suiters than us. We may have to look in slightly smaller pond or wait and hope they do not all go. Just my opinion and really hope I am wrong

 

You may be right mate. However, it wouldn't be the first time we've come up with a really good player to try to fill the gap that nobody's had previously on their radar.

 

SShhhh.

 

Major italian newspaper Gazetta Dello Sport says rumours are circling that Lucumi is coming to Sunderland

 

Don't fear mate. I have offered to dust my boots off One last dance I reckon I still have a mistake free 90 seconds in me

 

Brilliant.

 

The too strong, ethical, massive, ambitious project.

 

My take

All the media was playing hard ball similar to Xhaka and we’ve given them an offer they’re now happy with last week, which is when the news of the WBA defender broke and they started pushing a bit harder for the USG defender etc.

They agreed if they got someone in, but we’re starting to push them to get it sorted and they realise it’s a pretty high fee for someone who will diminish in value because of the contract situation and now considering selling

Now they’re meeting with Lucumi again, which now feels like he’s ready to leave
