    Here’s a thing.

    We liked Lauriente.

    Sassuolo quote us €30m.

    16 hours later we land Adingra.

    Important statement by club that. Yes, we are spending but try take the piss and we will pivot.

    We seen it with Bulka, we had an immediate plan B and no doubt a plan C.

    Rodon, bogle and aaronson aren’t good prem players

    he got relegated in France in his second ever season when the board sold all his best players and didn’t back. He’s clearly improved since then

    Interestingly we haven’t really had a CB link so that might come out of nowhere

    I imagine a goalkeeper won’t be far off and will be the next one in after the Brighton winger. I think we’ll have multiple ones we’re looking at.

    Wonder if we could snatch one or two of them. Not sure how reliable it is like.

    I think Talbi will be our starting right winger before long. Talbi right, Adingra left, with Roberts and Mundle backing them up.

    Whilst I’d agree and said earlier I’d only want 4 wingers, having two that will be away at the same time means I’d be inclined to agree we need a 5th. But that 5th may well be a loan rather than a transfer fee

    Slightly surface level analysis, he had a terrible team in the top 4 until they sold his best players in January. Then still got them their highest finish ever in his first management job.

    Then in the summer they flogged the rest of the squad and he took over as DoF and manager - which went very poorly and the depleted squad went down.

    Thankfully he has 2 top sporting directors here at Sunderland that handle the transfers to suit his style and let him get on with what he does best.



    But yes on the surface a lot of people assume his time in France was poor, wrongfully.

    Cresswell pretty heavy links, but club have said they want left sided and he isn’t left sided.

    There’s another out of nowhere deal coming there.

    We definitely need to start getting some defenders in. Realistically 2/3 centre half’s needed for me. Another fullback too.

    Sunderland have just made one of the best signings of the window…

    glowing endorsement of Talbi by Rising Ballers

    I know it’s not happened yet but please let’s not turn this thread into one about Leeds. I couldn’t give a **** about their squad.

    I would be exstatic with Dewsbury Hall for £20m. Adringa is a hell of a good value deal for me. That would be another level of value finding. Chuck Veiga in and we are laughing.

    And his ex players are desperate to play for him again.

    Doesn’t scream ‘Farke’ does it?

    He also got us 4th, which in reality was absolutely magnificent. We coasted the last 3 months and finished 4th.

    I have no concerns about Reggie.

    A bit like comparing what Farke did in the PL then when he wasn’t backed. Imagine Sunderland this season having zero backing in the transfer market, there is no difference mate

    This is the most straightforward decision we've had all summer in my opinion.

    The experience he has on and off the pitch is priceless... And also free.

    He'd also only be here because he wants to win for us, not for a pay cheque.

    Bring him home!

    I however haven't brought up farke once, only commented to give context to your statement attempting to discredit Le bris as a gaffer. Nothing more.

    Them players you listed as PL experienced are mainly garbage though, we wouldn’t want to sign one of them.

    Last season is gone; you need to make moves. I hope Leeds stay up but the longer you leave it the less players available and the higher the price.

    If we needed 10 as we all more or less agreed, you needed 8. We’ve got 5.

    Very important to consider.... Maybe the plan A isn't even leaked yet. We are talking to each of our options simultaneously.
