I fully expect this to drag on until the weekend, knowing us he will fail a medical after all this bollox. Seriously I expect the club to announce this and another signing over the weekend.
The money under the pillow doesn't just suddenly appear by magic Comm! As for Father Christmas, I've seen the movie! It was biographical not fiction mate!!
Father Christmas was actually based on a real person and my mum was my tooth fairy. Just trying to be optomistic mate
So all that haggling was for £1million? Written of pre-season and probably guaranteed a mid season burn out of a key player? Joke club.
I've now accepted that he won't sign. Can't see it coming off it's went on for far too long if it's even been on the radar at all...
Why is it only Sunderland who have these protracted transfers that fizzle out at the last minute ........... http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/spor...sunderland-afc-transfers-black-cats-11705743?
Even if we get it down to £1 million its not worth it. To have our best player unfit for the start of the season, and ****ed from december onwards, for the sake of a few mil? Is our club really that ****ing ******ed? Do they not understand that having a fully fit mvila for the whole season would almost certainly earn us more prize money than the cost of the transfer? **** off Ellis you stupid ****ing ****, penny pinching prick.
I'd have to have some certain facts before I started making those kind of accusations. I doubt you have any facts at all ............ it could easily be the player demanding more money from us than is, in any way, reasonable. He knows he has both clubs by the knackers and could be, quite easily, taking the piss. Or his agent might be demanding millions in fees. The transfer fee is just a tiny part of these foreign deals.
Doubtful the true facts of the hold up will ever come to light. I can live with that so long as get this across the line.
I agree with Bri we may never know the truth. I suspect there is a lot more to this than meets the eye. As long as we get it over the line I will be happy. Mvilla is the sort of quality player we need to be signing to get up the table. For me the first 11 should look something like this ?? Where I feel we need improvement. ........................?????....................... ????.......Kone.........Kaboul......PVA ................Kirchoff..Mvilla.............. Borini...............Khazri.............???? ......................Defoe........................ So including Mvilla that's 4 nee signing in my book. Then we also need cover at CB and full back. It could also be argued a different option up top with a big man would be nice too.
This should be the minimum requirement to give us a fighting chance imo, our squad is threadbare and still contains players who are well below the standard for the mid table safety zone that we yearn for.
