Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

You have no idea if we have the worst defence in the league or not, as they are untested in thenpremier league.

 

Would have to sign next few days as would need work permit which can take a while

 

See the pant-pissing has started....bit early lads....

 

99% convinced Lucumi is coming in. Radio silence on any front has me believe it’s agreed in principle put pending replacement found

 

I bet they’re close with someone we haven’t even heard mentioned yet. They’re not daft they’ve known it’s what we’ve needed since the start of the summer.

 

Having Seelt or Huggins in our starting 11 on the opening game of the season is a glaring weakness that I would expect to be targeted by the opposition.

I'm delighted with the business the club has done so far and I don't blame them for not getting a centre back in yet.

It doesn't change my opinion though, that we need one urgently and it could cost us points early in the season not to have at least one new one in place.

 

I think they're set on Lucemi being the top target and it's just taking a little longer than they planned.

I've no idea who the second one will be though. Bade doesn't feel realistic.

 

He turned down Bournemouth tbf, no chance after that news I thought

 

Looks like bade is off to leverkusen

This is where it all becomes too 'Football Manager' for my liking tbh.

Sunderland can't simply force players to move countries and play on the NE coast just because they need someone in that position ...

... they're very wealthy human beings with families and friends with the free will to play in whichever country these choose.

I think people forget that.

Newcastle are one of the richest clubs on the planet but can't get players to come just because they snap their fingers ...

... people really need to wise up, this isn't a computer game.

 

For us none twitter users what’s that in reply too mate?

 

What’s he saying ? Not on X

 

Why are they a glaring weakness, Huggins is a quality player, Seelt has look decent aswell when he's been fit

 

Huggins far too overhyped mind. What has he done to make him a quality player?
Hes nearly 25 and played less than 30 league games in his career. And hes been injured for about 18 month

he would be coming up against bowen on the opening day who is a real quality player. Would worry me tbh

 

The big driving force behind me wanting a CB is RLB flat out saying he wants defenders signed. I trust him so I trust what he wants.

 

I don't hold too much stock in Brad constantly saying we're close to a centre back. My 6 year old daughter could have guessed that.

 

They weren't even first choice last year mate. We'd be going into the Premier League with a weaker defence than we had in the Championship.
