    .Eh?

    Maybe he's their centre forward. Or, maybe the compulsory, annual and expensive purchase from Chelsea.

    Surely we must get Mayenda a new deal now and urgently?

    If he starts well and still on his current deal he will get deals slung at him in background and we will be in danger.

    Get it done Speakman!

    I’m loving this ‘sold on the project’ talk.

    It seems to have closed 3 of the 5 signings. Likely got Enzo as well.

    Massively underwhelmed with Ramsdale & Cresswell rumours. Hopefully our new centre back and GK signings come from nowhere

    Cresswell is ideal for us. He will be a very high level centre back.

    Ramsdale I agree, really marginal and no logic.

    They’re signing Gyokeres aren’t they.

    Right there mind. We can spread our bets more widely now and still more or less have the club sustain itself, which KLD has always said is our future, and has been great to hear.

    But I agree, we have shown a way for a non parachute club to climb up. It takes time though. And good people in place. Since the new course was set, I'm guessing we will have blooded not far off ten players who were teenagers on debut, a lot of them featuring at Wembley.

    No wonder so many talking heads said we were going the wrong way. Too cheap. Too young. Too inexperienced. No PL experience. Manager with hardly any experience. No wonder they said it, because it hadn't been done.

    But it has now, and the smart clubs will be watching.

    I think some of our fans need a reality check. Ramsdales a top Keeper and was Arsenals number one only a couple of years ago. It blows my mind some fans are questioning signing players like him.

    Maybe. But they've been signing him for three years!

    My reasoning is I’m pathetic and I’m convinced he’s a jinx, I always walk the exact same way to the ground until we lose then change my route so I think it’s me that’s the issue here not ramsdale :emoticon-0102-bigsm

    Sunderland, the new French-speaking bastion of the Premier League

    Share

    Www.lequipe.fr

    Direct

    In the past, real French colonies have settled in the Premier League, in Arsenal - which had seven Frenchies in its squad between 2002 and 2005 - or Newcastle - with nine players from France in 2013. Sunderland AFC, which will return to the elite next season for the first time since 2017, seems to have adapted this concept. Until then, he has only recruited French-speaking players, thanks to the jackpot promised to promoted Championship clubs (estimated at €238 million according to the BBC).

    The Black Cats have welcomed, in recent weeks, the Senegalese Habib Diarra (recruited in Strasbourg for €37 million), the Belgian Chemsdine Talbi (Club Bruges, €20 million), the Congolese Noah Sadiki (Union Saint-Gilloise, €17 million), the Ivorian Simon Adingra (Brighton, €21 million) and the Mozambican Reinildo, who passed through Lille (2019-2022), left free by Atlético de Madrid. These have joined a squad that already included Wilson Isidor, Enzo Le Fée (whose €23 million purchase option at AS Rome was lifted after the accession) and Eliezer Mayenda (a Spaniard trained in Sochaux who could have played for the Bleuets). The SAFC has also positioned itself to attract Armand Laurienté (26 years old, Sassuolo, under contract until 2027) and is closely interested in Valentin Rongier (30 years old, Marseille, 2026).

    All these players therefore have in common to be able to express themselves in the language of Molière, which can give the impression that it is a selection criterion. Especially since Sunderland's recruitment process involves two Frenchmen, football director Florent Ghisolfi and coach Régis Le Bris, a Franco-Swiss (owner Kyril Louis-Dreyfus) and an English sports director Kristjaan Speakman. "We have to be all four aligned to validate an arrival," says Ghisolfi, whose appointment was formalised last week.

    "All our recruits also speak English"

    Florent Ghisolfi, Sunderland football director

    The former sporting director of Lens, Nice and AS Rome recognises his natural tendency to be interested in profiles passed through Championships in which he worked, while indicating that French will not become the favourite language of the locker room: "All our recruits also speak English. In any case, we do not recruit according to linguistic considerations, but according to a player's potential, his ability to perform in the Premier League and connect with our supporters. Reinildo, for example, will certainly be adored here, as he was in Lille and Madrid, because he doesn't let go: it's a fundamental value in Sunderland. ”

    Aouchiche loaned, Pembélé and Ba invited to find a drop point

    The leader insists on the strong English connotation that the Black Cats will retain next season: "We have an important base with players like Chris Rigg, Daniel Ballard, Romaine Mundle or Luke O'Nien who are of high quality and will play an important role. In addition, according to our information, the club will encourage two French people who were on loan last season, Timothée Pembélé (who was in Le Havre; under contract until 2028) and Abdoullah Ba (Dunkerque, L2; 2027), to find a new point of fall, like Adil Aouchiche, who has just gone on loan to Aberdeen, which goes against the theory that French-speaking profiles would be privileged.

    " Eight years away from the elite does not change the fact that Sunderland is a Premier League club by definition"

    Florent Ghisolfi, Sunderland football director

    He's not gash. But he's not a huge upgrade on Patto, not from what I've seen anyway.

    It depends on what we can afford. We can't buy a new player for every position, and we shouldn't try to.

    But if they think we can afford it and they think he's worth it, then fair enough. We'll see soon!
