Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

We really should sign Lennon Miller ASAP. I'm all in on him until tomorrow when the next potential wonderkid link comes along.

 

Are there any clubs near the PSR limit we can take advantage of?

 

Kind of what I’m getting at though, you never see him giving out orders or talking much on the pitch. I don’t mean I want my captain smashing people and mouthing off at the ref every decision but I don’t really see the organisational side when I watch. But the club clearly know better than me

 

Seen a section with Kieron Maguire and he believes its only really Aston Villa in trouble this summer, not sure who we would fancy from there who would be realistic

Would love Leon Bailey

 

Must admit, that bit of the video didn't sit well with me either....But, he is his dad and probably super excited what is happening with his son... Jobe has gone... we move on

 

Seems the Bellinghams, more so Jobe just do it all in public. Made no secret he was leaving Birmingham when he rocked up at ours and it was made very public he was away to Germany to look for a new club when leaving us. Reported release clause quashed to make sure the deal was done, personal terms reportedly agreed before a fee was agreed.They have became footballing royalty it seems.

 

Ngl, didn't know much about miller but this seems like the model working at it's best if we get him

 

He’s a fantastic talent

 

Seems to have similar attributes to Jobe too

 

Could throw onien into the mix with that, my feelings are that it would just be the same as last season. More than 1 captain on the pitch

 

The more the better. All the best teams have that. Keane, Ince, Bruce, Cantona, Pallister, Schmeichel were all potential captains. Lampard, Cech, Drogba, Terry, Cole, Carvalho in that Chelsea side. Arsenal's team was littered with them too. It shouldn't create any issue at all.

 

never knock an individual but i think its a shame that finance reporters get as much ticker tape these days as your run of the mill sports journalist, game arguably in a sorry state of affairs with this PSR nonsense.

 

Bailey would a class replacement for Roberts. Slot straight in on that right hand side. Again, not much chance of signing that sort of player at the minute. Stay up and it’ll change…

 

There's plenty I'd like but I doubt they'd come

 

i dont expect them to caveat everything they come out with 'but oh sunderland etc'

its fairly clear we were a stepping stone and that's fine, at least we've been promoted, would have been slightly sour had we stayed down as replacing him in that league would have been a challenge.

That said no matter what comments are caught on camera, regardless of context, there's no doubt that the past 2 years have propelled the lads career forward and thats as much down to him and his hard work and sunderland as a football club, he got the ultimate send off with arguably the best playoff run in donkeys years and it will have left a lasting impression.

I do think it's a shame they haven't stuck around, the family have clocked generational wealth already but a move to dortmund takes him higher up the pyramid, its a slower game in germany in general with the league not as stacked as the prem so he gets a good balance of bossing teams, testing himself against bayern and in europe and if we are looking at whats best for his development over the next 24 months, id argue its with them and should he develop as they expect, Dortmund will be just another stepping stone. Once you take the human element out of it and look at players like race horses, in my mind it becomes easier to understand.

I suppose one way to look at it aswell is considering chris rigg, 2 years behind bellingham, bellingham with 109 league games, rigg already on 63, might be a slight minutes disparity but there's a chance rigg could be on 90+ games with a year on Bellingham development wise. Where's best for him, he needs to play. I think he'll get good minutes mind but it's not gonna be jobe style with the obvious hand shake agreement. If Rigg takes a step forward this year, at the same pace he has the season just gone, frightening.

 

If Villa need money desperately they can give us Kamara on the cheap

 

I think he was talking to one of the Dortmund officials who he had last met in Sunderland when they visited. So saying he is back home now. I am not seeing much wrong tbh.

 

Just his whole attitude feels like he couldn't wait to get away from us in my opinion like

 

So,

what have j missed today?
