Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

What a ****ing window. It’s 10/10 and transformational, esp given the ability to pivot at the end.

 

Can I go back to sleep now?
Feels like I've been running on adrenaline for days now

 

Still a few to move on if any suitable windows remain open.
Anderson, Pembele, Ba, Matete and Rusyn could do with permanent homes really.
Hjelde, Alese, Jones, Aleksic and Abdullhai would all benefit from a loan.

 

I keep forgetting we have Hjelde. He seems like a lovely lad but i really hope i dont see him in a Sunderland shirt this season, especially as a LB.

 

Who did we get yesterday? I’ve been away and only just got internet? Can someone summarise please?

 

A couple of Ajax players.

 

Leeds and Burnley knew they were already planning for the PL while we were still hoping we’d get past Coventry so could start to shuffle players out of their squad. In fact Sunderland were actually still in the Championship with 20 minutes to go and already losing Watson, Jobe and Le Fée.

How they’ve managed to bring in the players they have is incredible. I’m sure the club would’ve loved to have found places for those on the fringe but they’ve had to prioritise. As we brought in players on deadline day we've had to keep some who may have otherwise left.

I’m sure the club will now address the situation but sometimes it’s just not possible to arrange the deck chairs in a storm …

… hopefully this will be a period of calm, at least for a fortnight

 

Looks like hes a fox in the box and likes to be between the posts which we needed

 

Geertruida, a RB/CH, loan plus option, Brobbey fast muscular CF £17m+, Traore the winger who used to play for Villa, £2.5m.

 

The Northern Echo understands Nazariy Rusyn and Milan Aleksic are set to leave the club on loan, but they're both going to clubs who play in countries where the transfer window is still open.

Those deals will be finalised and confirmed in the coming days.

These fellas are on too good of a wage to give up. Browne supposedly said that he won't leave if it means losing out on his packet. Hence the loans for both him and Roberts who are on 30k a piece (at least)

 

We also need someone who can win a few duels and hold the ball up to allow the midfield to get into position. Isidor and Mayenda are more game enders than game starters for me. Saturday was an example where we struggled to make any mileage but Thiago’s physicality helped them to build a little bit. BB is solid.

 

He seems like he's chucked the dream and has accepted he's not making it so taking the most money possible. He's 25 and barely played a first team game. His next move is probably non league

 

Agree with the first 5 you mention....I would add Poveda to that.
Not sure about the others.....Hjelde and Alese have been injured.....I think they'll keep Jones( I presume you mean Harrison?) and Aleksic.....maybe Ahmed will go.
Interesting to see what happens with Neil and Cirkin contracts now too.

 

I can’t see any of them playing for us again there need sorted

 

Surprised at the lack of sales going out.

 

A few saying 10/10 window, which is fantastic.

Now though, now it’s closed, if we look back it is way beyond 10/10.

10/10 is everything you hoped for, but let’s step back to the start of this window, to a few day after ‘Tommy scored’

We all; including me, including the level headed lads on here, the optimists, the pessimists, we all got more and more feverish because of the stunning acquisitions and the links and the realisation that the club meant business.

We, as fans do, wanted more and more, believed more and more.

But, back to the days after Wembley. We discussed newly relegated players, Rudoni, we talked about young lads in France, ‘can we now look at young Italians too?’, veterans for some experience, we kidded ourselves players we already had were gonna be good enough.

Looking back now we were just being passionate fans who love our club and trying to convince ourselves we could make it.

We knew we couldn’t. Well, we thought we couldn’t.

We knew we had Enzo, we said ‘we might break that record again’, we broke it multiple times.

KLD stepped forward and showed us all the stunning vision and belief he had for our club and he and the recruitment teams took us on a wild ride, the media and marketing teams in the background ramped up every area of the club, coaching staff improved, our home, a stadium we have always had absolute pride in was taken to another level with thoughtful and beautiful renovations.

The city glowed up around the club, it was an absolute melting pot of forward motion all summer and for any of us to say it is a 10/10 window is actually borderline disrespectful to the utterly magnificent, thoughtful and planned work the club has done on every level.

We’ve been saying for a while KLD gave us the club back, we’ve been saying for a slightly shorter while Speakman gave us some pride back, and shorter again Ghisolfi levelling up and putting toppings on that.

Again, Hummel supply us 3 of the most beautiful, professional looking and thoughtful kits in football, we retain all but one of the jewels, we sign multiple international players and several who were flirted with by established top league clubs.

It’s not a 10/10. There isn’t a scale for it, it’s so far beyond what we expected it’s more like 100/10.

We never seen this coming, we can all now look back and just say ‘wow, we really are back’.

Accrington, Burton, Wembley defeats, 6-0 at Bolton, gone forever.

What Tommy, one of us, gave us on his way out the door wasn’t promotion, it was the final stage of the rebirth of the club and the ownership group have made sure we won’t give that up without a fight.

It is just incredible what we’ve done. And we have 6 points before August is out.

We are Sunderland. We are back. We are gonna remind the world we belong here.

I am wishing my life away for Villa.

 

GK - Roefs
RB - Geertruida
CB x2 - Alderete Mukiele
LB - Reinildo Masuaku
CM X3 - Sadiki, Diarra, Xhaka
RW - Talbi Traore
LW - Adingra
ST - Brobbey

safe to say it went well

 

Is that the best transfer window in our history? Hard to judge fully, and nothing is guaranteed but the club have given us every chance to stay up...



Only worry is those names highlighted who could miss a few games in Dec/Jan

Potentially the team in Dec/Jan looks like this

Rooefs
Hume Ballard Alderete Cirkin
Le Fee Xhaka Rigg
Mayenda Brobbey Mundle​

Subs: Patterson, Mukiele, O'Nien, Geertrudia, Alese, Neil, Isidor, Jones, Aleksic

Which doesn't look horrific.
