Summer transfer thread

I’m really not fussed about Broadhead. Constantly injured

 

What could go wrong with someone at Sunderland named Ellis?

 

I think he’s not dissimilar to the signings of Clarke, Roberts and Pritchard. Has a high potential ceiling but hasn’t been close to it for a while. He was very highly rated when he broke through and had premier league interest. A punt but he obviously has the raw material to be a very good keeper.

 

Doesn’t seem to exist, what was it?

 

Nothing there.

 

What was it?

 

Neymar at Seaham Hall, rooming with Robbie Keane I think.

 

Jan Koller has the couch

 

Said just that to my Dad. If he stays fit, he’ll be a top forward in the championship. If he’s asking for 39k per week or anything stupid like that, for someone who is, from our experience, fit for 4 injured for 8, what’s the point! (Probably being generous with the 4 too!!)

 

That was ludicrously easy to set up. One email sent on Thursday, on the back of the Echo on Friday afternoon. Madness really.

 

Was he constantly injured, I keep reading it? I know he had that one hamstring injury picked up against Arsenal and then struggled to come back from it but don’t particularly remember others.

 

That was his secon injury, he had already been out and hadn't long been back when he got injured at arsenal, not sure what his injury record was like before he came, he played a lot of u23 games the season before and about 20 the season before that I think

 

Ah right, cheers mate. I remember him playing a load before that Arsenal game for a month or so, maybe just over did it. I’ll be pleased if he signs, I don’t think I’ll write him off as a crock but clearly got to be handled carefully.

 

Watmore was a crock here and is playing regularly now, have to hope if he does come in our physios etc can get to the bottom of his issues and manage him properly

 

What I heard but not sure how true it is
Broadhead wants to come
We want him to come
Everton want him off their books.
However he wants similar money to what is is getting which is a lot more than what our wage structure would allow , which if we paid it the the likes of Stewart would be wanting the same on a new deal and the club don't want to go down the route of paying over the top of the structure that is in place.
As I said I'm not sure how true this is but it was mentioned that because if he stays at Everton he will not get game time but they will have to pay him anyway, so we were trying to broker a deal where we offer him want we want to pay him and get Everton to pay up some of his contract as they will have to pay it if he stays.
Then on a 2 year deal with the money from Everton his money would be similar to what he wants.
I'm not sure if this is still ongoing or even true but it would explain why things were taking a while.
I was also told we are definitely the club he wants to be at

 

I think hamstrings are something that can be managed if he is looked after by the right people
