Jashari is a talent, watched him live vs Hibs 2 seasons ago for Zurich and he was levels above everyone else Does a bit of everything and could play in the PL imo
Was talking about the 2 Algerian lads at Charleroi while you were on a break, granted that was when I thought we'd be in the championship.
Valid. Nice to actually feel interested in sunderland again, admittedly fell out of love a bit in league one. Didn't stop me watching but felt like a chore instead of enjoyment.
Leipzig are absolutely loaded with DM mind, they may well be open to shuffling one out. Any one of him, Schlager or Vermeeren be a yes please.
And for today one last time to Jobe #Bellingham . The transfer fee? Will amount to approximately 30-35 million euros. Yes @SunderlandAFC is asking for 40, but I can confirm that there is an agreement with the consultant that he can leave for “25+5 bonuses”. They'll probably meet in the middle, so it'll come down to 30-35 million. #Bellingham to @BVB
I agree with this, he was horrendous in the final and we looked much better when he went off, I like the lad and know his Dad but the jury’s out for me for him in the PL, I just think he will be lost in the MF unless we do get Henderson back and he can nurture him, but I fear for him imho.
Any of them three would be a statement signing and would lay down a marker of our intent that we aren’t just there to make up the numbers.
This is why i'm so eager for our first signing bar Enzo, I want to see what we are targeting and our intent
They missed CL too. If there’s a time to go after their players it’s now. Think they missed Europe altogether which is mental with their squad. We take Xavi Simons
So if we can buy a couple of decent midfield players we might stand a chance of staying up. 15 million for Watson 30 million for Bellingham 100 million for getting promoted I believe Speakman will invest in buying players who's value will increase, not journeymen. Except with Henderson, to have an old head to help on and off the pitch will be invaluable.
I’m still waiting for Craig Hope, Keith Downie or Alan Nixon to run the story that there’s a problem with the ELF deal and that the contract only obligated the transfer upon automatic promotion
On a real note though I wouldn't worry about Le Fee, i've heard myself they are planning his announcement and there's a few variables to it
Need that Enzo announcement to be in a new kit with the premier league nameset saying E. Le Fee 28 while the camera pans out
Every division we’ve been in, we’ve signed someone that made people think how we’ve got that player in that league just wait for the first premier league signing
