Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

I remember David James playing up front for Man City He was ****ing ****e

 

Was out of position to be fair, should have been on the left wing.

 

Mercato: Sunderland approached Bilal El Khannouss (Leicester)

 

That’s the article posted earlier

 

When do we go to Portugal? Thought we would have had a GK and CB in before we go?

 

Pretty sure they go out on Wednesday mate.

 

Yeah I know I just seen Andy missed out that we’ve approached him and I know some don’t read the article

 

We won't have worked on any tactical things in depth before the shields game so I wouldn't read anything into that game

It would have been fitness and ball work all week and we will start doing more tactical stuff this coming week - it's why they would have wanted a lot of players in by portugal

In terms of the Leicester lad, talented player but we can't keep signing players that are going to the AFCON (queue the mick Mccarthy meme). Every game is vital this year and I'm fine with the lads that'll be missing so far but we cannot sign another CM who will leave in Dec/Jan time

 

think its today,,,

and who knows, they could get announced over the next couple of days

 

Sounds like he can do better than Leicester.

 

Is this the Esposito from Spezia? There are 3 of them as far as I remember. The midfield lad hasnt had much Seria A experience has he?

 

El Khannouss is a number 10 who rarely scores or assists. I'll be honest and say I've not seen enough of him to judge his ability, but we have playmakers in the team already, if we're signing a number 10, they have to be a match winner.

Is there good reason to project his goal contributions are going to increase? I don't think we the luxury of a €25m attacking player returning 5 goal contributions this season.

 

I suppose there’s a reason West Ham and Monaco both want him aswell. He’s a very good player. Wouldn’t read too much into his contributions from last season

 

We fly over Tuesday I’m sure

 

His contributions last season are the only measurement of his ability at the level. That being said, his record is decent at Genk before that but not mind blowing. A player who is right for West Ham isn't necessarily right for Sunderland.

 

If we were judging players by base stats at this level every signing would be a dud

 

It is yeah, Salvatore. Only one half season in serie A which wasn't actually bad by any means but he's spent the rest in serie B.

 

Wages mate from what I've gathered
