    I genuinely moved on from Broadhead about a week ago once it started to sound like the Borini saga. Would have been nice to have him here but whatever. Want players here that are not only good enough but 100 percent committed.

    In a 46 game league season plus the 3 cups we were involved in… Let’s see if he manages the same this season.

    If Broadhead and Nyambe are indicative then I think they are being quite ambitious in terms of quality if not yet numbers. Would have been happy with either here.

    Aye I thought it wasn’t going to happen once we signed Simms and handed him the number 9 shirt. Broadhead is a cracking player and good luck to the lad if he signs for Wigan but we may have struck gold anyway with Simms.

    I’m just saying. He’s nowhere near as much of a sick note as many make out. But could definitely do with cutting out the niggles if he can

    agreed. They’re doing things sensibly like we are.

    this mate. Simms looks quality. One game in, but seems to be the business. Re Broadhead, it just seems to be dragging on. I feel Wigan have good old Geography on there side. Only reason I can see him going there.

    So, he played in fewer than half of our games last season

    Said it a few days ago when I was disappointed that we’d only loaned Simms, a loan for Broadhead just makes no sense at all.

    You loan players that are unrealistic transfer targets due to cost or potential, or players you want off the wage bill with no interest of being there. Broadhead is neither. He’s worth a few hundred grand at most, what’s the point in wasting a loan and wages on someone who’s not going to improve our starting Xl and is well within our budget?

    He started 15 games - played less than 1300 minutes of football.

    I mean yeh, my point was purely he played more than the 25 games that people are suggesting he won’t be able to manage for Wigan.

    It’s a fantastic loan signing for them and he’d have been a fantastic permanent signing for us. But it couldn’t be worked out. Is what it is.

    Im excited about what opportunity it opens up to bring a third striker in. No reason why that third striker wouldn’t be another loan from a club who might be more willing to have that player be an “option” rather than guaranteed starter

    But he played less than 1300 minutes in the league out of a possible 4140.

    It’s not a good loan by any means and I’m glad we’ve pulled out because if we’d loaned him again I would’ve thought we were struggling. The fact we’ve stood our ground is convincing for us moving forward.

    If the club think this is a risk then I worry about the people making decisions. Would love to know how they determine risk factors. Not doubting your info mate, but if they really counted Broadhead out based on risk they are some way away from a top level recruitment team, IMO.

    Could be a rollercoaster of emotions day today on the message boards. Signing in if the medical happened yesterday but Broadhead to Wigan.

    If they've assessed the risk and don't want to go for it, it doesn't make them a 2nd rate recruitment team, it just makes them more risk adverse than you would like. Time will tell whether this is the right decision but I'm sure thorough consideration was given if it is the case that it was indeed a Sunderland decision.

    Alvarez is enough to make any organisation risk averse ... or at least make the deal so that it balances any risk.
    We don't know any details, it might have been the selling club wanting far too much and nothing to do with the player himself.
