Contract runs out at end of the season, meaning its not going to be loan deal as that would mean Sunderland get nowt for him at the end of the season. So money is going to used, how much? well thats the question. As reported £7mill is a total joke, and the publishers which are producing such stories need shooting. 1 goal in 14, and paying £7mill for a club that play in the Championship? not a chance. Yes we have money, proven by signing Proshwitz for £2.6million and Meyler on the brink of signing for £1.5million, But i really think the most you'll see us bid will be around £3million, even that is a bit over budget IMO. However saying this, I do expect him to join us this January...
£3m would be a good deal for both parties......all parties really. We would get some of the £5m we paid for him and use it to recruit players we need You get a player who would score for fun in the championship and who knows the club The player gets to play regular football which he deserves to have Bruce gets a cutting edge in his bid for promotion Hull City move a huge step forward to securing the pot of gold that is the EPL There are no losers in this scenario
Mon has come out and said it's news to him as Bruce has only talked to him about Meyler and Elmo. If we do sell about 1m would be par I guess.
