Agreed get these 2 over the line and to be honest, we could not have asked for much more.... we have to remember where we are, 2nd from bottom 4 point's adrift. With that in mind all this is cracking business.
Bordeaux accept €11m offer from Sunderland for Wahbi Khazri According to multiple reports, including from Foot Mercato and Gold FM, Bordeaux have accepted an €11m offer from Premier League side Sunderland for winger Wahbi Khazri. Khazri is understood to have already signed, or be in the process of signing a 4.5 year contract with Sunderland.
Khazri is the bald guy who takes the long shot early on, a few glimpses of what he can do and a special goal to equalise the game. From a recent game in December. Apologies there's obviously copyright infringement or something, you'll have to watch on YouTube.
L'equipe has him quoted as saying "It's a great challenge. I dreamed of England." Apparently flying to England as we speak to join up with us http://www.lequipe.fr/Football/Actu...tte-bordeaux-pour-rejoindre-sunderland/629229 http://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/topics/done-sunderland-sign-attacking-midfielder-quick-deal
Straight up, could be your best signing since Bent. It's refreshing to see you sign somebody with his career in front of him for a change. Sam's done one thing right here by the way, he's got a fantastic corner on him and Kone is a battering ram in the box. That's 'Old School' Sam Allardyce right there. He's identified you need more goals from set plays, signed the players job done. Only time will tell how he settles in, you never know with lads from the French leagues, they can bomb (Cabella/Thauvin) or they can rip the league apart (Mahrez/Cabaye).
