His fee and wages could be nothing compared to what he'd bring to the club ... ... if Neil was sold for a similar package I'd be delighted, but I'd doubt that would happen tbh. Serious question, would anyone not swap Neil for Xhaka?
Sorry if this has been answered before. We signed Le Fee in a previous transfer window. How does that impact on this transfer window and PSR?
Until Dan Neil signs a new contract, we will certainly be working on transfer deals for his replacement. Talk in the paper about replacements doesn’t mean he definitely is off, because we need to be prepared for all circumstances. If he did leave, Xhaka/FZA and Richardson would be a cracking set of replacements. I would rather he stays as I would like as many academy lads in the team. However, I would get right behind any replacements. I wonder how much the Patto situation is affecting him, if at all. They’re close mates, and I would imagine he’s pretty adamant that Patto deserves a chance in the prem. must be weird reading rumours about a new goalie. Other positions you can rotate or change mid game, but less so GK. if I were him and decided to leave, I would go abroad. A couple of years of top flight football in Germany would do him the world of good. As would success in the prem mind you. he’s an outside shot to become holding midfield for England in the next 8 years. At a time when our chances of winning a major tournament are better than usual, according to the bookies. What a life, and what a big call to make. I think/hope/feel that he will renew.
Bring him home? €6m and he was born in Sunderland. Last year of his contract. Was tipped to be pretty big at one point I’m sure so guessing he’s lost his way. That’s got Sunderland written all over it. Still only 22. No idea how he got on when on loan at Forest a year or so back like.
