Wonder if we could tempt Le Fee into signing permanently in the Championship. I think it's unlikely but his relationship with RLB and the fact we should have money to spend makes me think it could happen.
By the sound of a lot of comments on here it seems all we’ll be left with for next season is O’Nien. All our other players will be going to Premier league sides or Roma/Madrid/Dortmund. Still, we should have a healthy sum to start building a new squad.
Was told a while back and shred via a PM on here that it was likely Jobe would move in the summer but Rigg wanted to stay. That was near the end of the January window. Now I know a lot of things change in football but the person who told me this is very close to Riggs family and TBH I have posted odd things on here about Riggy going well back to when he was 15 years old and I think most of it has been proved right as far as I can remember. I have not heard any different to date but what was said was that he and his family and agent still believed that Sunderland was the best place for him at this present time as he is playing regularly and getting some great experience for a lad his age. It may have changed but I have not heard any different at this point and try not to post too much on here as the guy who tells me often says just keep it to yourself mate. ( I did speak to him about 4 or 5 weeks ago and he said as far as he had heard nothing much had changed for Riggy and that Jobe whilst he was itching to move and progress his career has been absolutely gushing about the club and the fans, so he was not sure if maybe his mind had changed somewhat. I guess everything will still remain to be seen but first and foremost we need to finish the season strong.
I don't think it's as unlikely as you say....if he thinks we're ready to step up...it might be his logical move to stay put.
He earns £437,000 a year, why would you want the pressure of being a first team goalkeeper. I’m sure he gets by just fine on that amount
As I said in Jan. Man U were pushing the hardest then and I am sure they will in the summer (if we don't go up).
I find that one interesting. European football next season, quite probably champions League and iirc they aren't afraid to spend.
He'd be outstanding in Italy with the pace of the game, wonder if they are thinking cheeky swap with Enzo if we don't go up.
Yeah unfortunately I agree mate, he's outgrowing the Championship....and about half of the premier league.
He should be but contract length plays a big part in what we can get, Dan Neil with 4 years left could warrant 20+ but with just one year unfortunately feels like 15m might be a maximum
