Whilst that’s true he wasn’t really very established. There will be players like Cirkin, Clarke, Alese that we sign that will be good enough to offer something whilst they develop as well as the likes of Le Fee.
Yeh from memory Ekwah was a free transfer but with 40% sell on. His sale isn't going to do much for us income-wise but is at least another name and wage off the books. Hopefully we agree a sell on with the sale so if he does show some better potential we can recouperate some of that
He doesn’t look anywhere near as talented as Wickham. He might develop, Delap certainly has after looking pretty average , but I haven’t seen much to suggest Cannon will.
Ekwah's sale is essentially pure profit though (minus 40% sell on to West Ham). Can't complain too much about that
I hope so. There are 92 clubs, plus Scotland, Europe, etc, so loads of links, speculation, signings, etc … … I’m only really interested in Sunderland so don’t want to have to search for it. It’s not so bad now but it’ll get chaotic by the end in my opinion.
Ok this is what I've found relating to Sunderland rumours in other thread. Obviously contains unrealistic and ones we'd never want, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to filter it. Please add any sane ones not already on the OP if any are valid. Cameron Carter-Vickers Habib Diarra Armand Lauriente Dju Caleta-Car Reinildo Lennon Miller Charlie Gray Hendo Demarai Gray Quentin Merlin Christantus Uche Mepham Cedric Kipre Wilfried Singo Amad Jair Cunha Vladyslav Vanat Modibo Sagnan Salvatore Esposito Tshegofatso Mabasa
Can still talk about sunderland links etc in the other one but if you purely just want to see sunderland stuff it'll also be in here too
I kind of relate, I’m a person who likes to tear up systems I’ve spent hours, days and weeks on and create anew. It’s a right professional thrill!
Brilliant thread, thanks for doing this. I do like the other thread, especially when I've got time to read it but when I've been at work all day and open up the thread to 20+ unread pages, it's just difficult to get information without spending hours catching up. There's a lack of wingers linked at the moment for me. I don't mind that if it means Bobb and Lauriente are nailed on! As for the Ekwah deal, it sounds like we'll be selling for less than the agreed €6m fee. But if we don't want him and there isn't a great market for him, then we have to be open to negotiate.
