I was thinking the French connection might have been the swinger. Aren’t you signing a French keeper too? All things being equal, based on last season, you’d think we’d be a marginally more attractive proposition to players. Though any advantage is usually outweighed by personal terms anyway.
Polish but based on France yeah, want Guendouzi and Lauriente as well who are both French. I think we are quite attractive to young players.
Its reported that Noah Sadiki will be next in line for us. Should be half the price. Diarra is probably a year in front of him.
Sounds like Leeds never matched Sunderlands bid. It's also rumoured to be £26 million up front too. That's a huge chunk of PSR gone.
Not really, that is a large trunk of cash gone. From Sunderlands point of view it will be a PSR cost of somewhere between £5m-£6.5m If you buy a player for £100m and he signs a contract for 5 years, it matters not one iota in respect of PSR whether you pay the whole £100m up front or pay it in instalments. From a PSR point of view, its a cost of £20m per year.
