I get your point but there’s 21 league games to play before January I want us right up there come January.
Kristjaan Speakman said: “Following Pierre’s arrival at Sunderland, he has developed from an Under-21 player to become a Championship midfielder, and we are proud of the role we have played in his progression. The midfield is an incredibly competitive area in our squad and this agreement represents a positive outcome for the Club and Pierre, who expressed his desire to take this opportunity and challenge himself in Ligue 1. We wish him well and look forward to revisiting his situation next summer.” Bonne chance, Pierre!
January is an awful time to spend and the value is in the summer or so I was told the last 2 January windows
In all seriousness I’d feel dead sorry for Hemir if he misses out on a move to Juventus because of this.
Bit like marmite, you either liked him or not. Sadly he wasn't as tough In midfield as was suggested.
Apparently the agreed fee for Hemir should Juventus want to take it up during the loan is £3m up front with an additional £2m add ons
I’d like to add a positive - still no rumours of outgoings of any of the players we want to keep (beyond Clarke). that’s another success from this window
