No, I'm quite sure everything is on the table including the lad from Chelsea, as usual the club are watertight and something could come out of nowhere at anytime.
Would be a shame imo. There are good players in this country who would make us better, and would likely hit the ground running faster.
Frijan is known to be a player Sunderland have admired for a long period of time, and they have held talks with Belgian side Westerlo about signing the Croatian forward this month. The deal has gone a little quiet over the last week, amid suggestions that the payment structure is again an issue. Sunderland would ideally like to agree a fee in the event of promotion, whereas Westerlo would according to sources in Belgium prefer a fixed fee regardless of how the campaign ends. The player is said to be open to the move, and so it does remain one to watch in the closing days of the window. However, that he started for Westerlo last weekend and played 86 minutes was perhaps an indication that nothing was close at that stage. ——— Chuba Akpom, Sunderland are interested in a move for the former Championship golden boot winner, who is match fit and available to depart Ajax this month. He'd be an exceptional addition, but sources indicated from the moment interest first broke that it would a tricky deal to do. There is reportedly interest from Leicester City and Marseille, while there have also been claims that the 29-year-old is reluctant to return to the Championship. As such, it's fair to assume that Sunderland will have been weighing up and pursuing other options this week. ——— Semih Kilicsoy, The 19-year-old has been linked with a move to Sunderland this month and though he doesn't have Championship experience, that he is already a full international speaks to his talent. He's a flexible forward but with reported interest from a number of Premier League clubs, it's fair to say this one would be something of a surprise. ———— Emil Riis, The Preston North End striker has been linked with a move to Wearside this month and could potentially be on the move as a result of the fact that he only has six months left to run on his contract at Deepdale. He would bring significant Championship experience, is match fit and in decent scoring form. Wearside seems like an unlikely destination, however, with sources indicating earlier this month that the 26-year-old was not a prominent target. https://www.sunderlandecho.com/spor...en-resolved-and-those-still-available-4966633
They've lost 5 of their last 6 games and haven't won since they beat Derby, at home, before Christmas. Apart from Watford they've only beaten teams in the bottom third and have lost more games than any other club. They have the worst goal difference of anyone other than the bottom club. They absolute stink of relegation and have Sunderland, Sheff Utd, Wednesday, Watford and Plymouth in February ... ... I fully expect them to be bottom by the time they go to Burnley in March. They still have Leeds and Blackburn to play before their last game at home to West Brom. Can you guess how much I hate them
I'm not sure why though, AA would be just as beneficial playing there, then we'd be much better with him in the middle. We've brought Le Fee in, put him on the left and I don't think that has improved at all
In the opinion of the Head Coach he is the best option on the left wing until such time as Mundle or Watson are fit. At that point we will see him moved inside. The Head Coach does not rate Aouchiche, having coached him at 2 different clubs. I'm not sure what's so hard to understand.
Quite obvious in the head coaches opinion as he's playing him there. My opinion, which is what a forum is for, not sure what's so hard to understand about that, is Le Fee hasn't offered anything more the AA on the left. So putting Le Fee in the middle where he's best would benefit the team more
I have to say that I'm not really sure why the reluctance to just buy Frigan now. We've scouted him for 2-3 years already so know he's a player we like. He's a player that we would surely want even in the Championship next season, if we get him now, he's got a much better chance of hitting the ground running next year if he takes longer than we would like to settle in. He's most likely in our budget, and even if he wasn't, it would be a calculated gamble knowing that in the scenario of staying in this league, we'd have fees for Jobe and probably Neil coming in that would outweigh any spend.
I get the frustration of Le Fee playing out of position, but hes definitely been better than Aouchiche for me.
I agree tbh, but with the current offers being loans. I’m not sure we are willing to pay a fee this month. I could be wrong like
