    Sadiki for me. Age plays a huge part in that. Outrageous ability and mentality for his age. Huge room for growth.

    I reckon we will definitely get offers of £50m+ in the summer for him. Big vibes of Kante about him.

    I expect some big clubs to come in for Ballard in the summer with offers of 50m+.

    Its crazy to look at how much money teams like Man Utd and Chelsea have spent on CB's(mainly young French lads), over the last however many years and not one of them could lace Ballards boots right now.

    I’d be staggered if we got £40m+ for Ballard

    Good player who’s improved a hell of a lot, but not that good. Misses a lot of games through injury too.

    Incredibly little experience for a 26 year old as well.

    That said, 12 months playing at the level he's at, without injuries. Think that figure stops looking crazy.

    We could do with some of the players we sell for decent money to start pulling up trees imo. None have gone on to excel yet: Stewart, Clarke, Jobe, Watson.... even though we can say they were great deals for us.

    Clubs may start getting put off big money moves for our players.

    Clarke is doing very well at Ipswich now he’s being used properly…

    Yeah, that's good to see. He isn't performing above the level he was with us yet though.

    Ipswich have a better squad than we had in that division whilst Clarke was here, he’s definitely not the main man there like he was here

    DR Congo boss Sébastien Desabre remains confident Noah Sadiki will make a big move in the future.

    ️ Upon being asked whether he expects top English clubs to make an approach to sign Sadiki, he said: “It’s quite possible. The big Premier League clubs have a lot of money, and they can make a big offer that’s hard to refuse.

    “In my opinion, he’ll soon be among the best in his position in the Premier League, and when you look at his progress, there’s no doubt he’ll play for a big club one day. But he’s only 20 years old; he still has plenty of room to improve. Let’s give him time.”

    Desabre ends saying: “That said, I think Noah Sadiki’s best interest is to stay at Sunderland for at least another season. He’s discovering the Premier League, and we need to give him time to adapt. It’s early November, and it’s going to be a long season. There will probably be a point where Sunderland experiences a dip in form. It will be interesting to see how Noah adapts if that happens.”

    I think Big Dan currently. Sadiki will fly past him by end season.

    His profile is massive right now. Press up his arse and NI leader.

    We’d get a massive fee right now for him.

    I think Roefs would be worth a fortune now. Exactly what the likes of city or Liverpool want

    Article is a bit condescending to us...maybe we will be a big club one day and beat Chelsea at Chelsea....go toe to toe with Arsenal and take points from them. Also, play in front of 50,000 every week....Sadiki to me if he's patient and not agent driven will fulfill all his needs, aspirations with us including the club being a heavy weight in Europe. KLD will guide us there.....

    Sadiki could be playing in front of 63k if he stays here and the expansion plans come to fruition
