Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Our ready made players have all done well (except Rusyn if he's in that category)

 

Milan working on terminating Origi’s contract

 

Ridiculous how few games he’s played for a 30 y/o

 

Kiefer moore big striker should get a few goals for us, Sargent of Norwich back up striker ?

 

Monty laaaad

 

I don’t think Moore can do anymore for the club then he did last month best leaving him in the past

 

Moore has already contributed more than we could have hoped for and for free

 

Hope not. The linked strikers were almost universally ****

Suspect most of them were true, given how much was semi-confirmed. Definitely represented a departure Would kinda forgive that thought as an effort to get us up - at least to an extent - but we’ve trailed this summer as a similar departure. Just hope the targets are MUCH more appropriate!

 

I dont believe we've over paid for anybody in kld's era tbf

 

I think there will have been some on a list, but does it not give credit to our decision making that we clearly decided they werent worth that?

 

As I say it’s fun discussion. Where I start to wonder, though, is when the opinion that spending £15m on an ageing euro-jobber might not represent the best use of our money is met with such incredulity. The current regime are brilliant. I get accused of being a happy clapper as much as anyone. But I’m not gonna assume 4d chess from them on every single move. Some of them just look a bit daft right from the start.

Browne having a massive impact is an Olympic sized stretch mind

 

Spot on, if the deals not right for the club they back out - love that

Not all signings will work out but we've had loads of successes

It's exciting being linked to the names we've been linked with when you consider who we've been linked with/signed over the years of being out the PL

 

Depends. That’s more difficult to know, but widely reported entry points for Cannon and Akpom were pretty wild given their unsuitability for the higher level. Striker tax and all that, but it felt like doing something new, different - and far from what I’d call an improvement. All conjecture and good discussion, though.

 

It's not an Olympic size stretch - it came directly from one of our most important players directly!! Moore also got a mention for how good he's been in the dressing room as did Hjelde and Salis

I agree some look daft to me but it's all rumours at the minute, let's wait and see who we sign and judge from there

 

I do hear things from time to time and I'm pretty confident we were never actively chasing Akpom and had just briefly enquired about the price, not sure about cannon but wasnt the last proper report that we were half their asking price (maybe there was a report of more im not sure).

 

Quibbling abiut the younger players, but we’ve certainly tried to. And this Angelino deal would be a wild one at the prices the press are quoting.

a big part of why we’re in a good position is our financial control. It’s what gives us a better platform to give us a chance to succeed. However now we’ve got here we’d be absolutely mad to think that there’s different rules now. We have to maintain exactly the same level of control if we want to establish ourselves.

 

Probably doesnt get appreciation because its not in the public eye but this will happen so much that doesnt get reported and some of the rumours that die down after a while will have been the same - Watching the NBA draft last night and my team made a pretty risky but ballsy trade, sometimes you have to trust your gut and get in the guy you like and i believe sunderland will be doing just that.

 

Fair enough. I just wish we weren’t paying a dedicated vibesman bosman wages!

 

This much is definitely true, I dont think he wants to come here though and although maybe we were initially interested around 10-12m theyre probably using "prem interest" to secure a saudi move.

 

My memory was we launched in very strong. Thought SUFC only wanted a loan initially. Not in the inner sanctum though so wouldn’t know for sure.
