Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Indeed, but £70m is a hell of a gamble.

 

Lammens isn't as good as Petrovic or bulka is now imo but the upside is crazy

He has been linked to man utd but I think we'd be a better fit fot where he is now in his career

 

I feel our people in power don't f**k up such things.

 

Xhaka to Sunderland is pure football news, people won't like it and I f**kin LOVE IT!

 

Very good bit at the end of that!

 

so are the rest of us in the main

 

It sounds very positive that we will manage to get a fee agreed, I just hope it's soon!

Xhaka communicating his desire to come here and has agreed terms should be massive for us to get it done

 

If we manage to bring him in, I think we can officially rename it Xhaka Whites Market. Talksport about to do a transfer round up in the next few minutes.

 

Already had a mag mate tell me he has no pace... biting like ****.

Net spend of 73m euro

we've got a long way to go in my opinion

55m deadline day bid for a right winger

 

I feel like I'm stuck in limbo waiting for the report of a fee being agreed

 

Don't want to be that guy but it could be hours or it could be weeks!!!

 

Just on the fact that Xhaka has reportedly said he only wants to come here tells me he's said to his agent, don't link me with this club and that club, or play clubs off of each other etc just get it sorted

 

I know haha but to be honest, with Xhaka agreeing terms and actively asking for his club for a deal to be concluded 'rapidly' means we should know the outcome in the next 24-48 hours for me

 

It’s very encouraging, and suggests he’s got his heart set on a move.

If he was only open to a move, he’d stay quiet and see what else is in the pipeline. However, he’s explicitly told his agent he wants to come here.

He’s not only open to coming here. He’s full on wanting to come here. That’s massive.

 

Sounds hopeful

 

According to Leeds, Coventry, Mags, etc, each of our signings has a fatal flaw …

… it’s like an entire squad with one achilles heel or another.

Meanwhile their signings are all at the top of their game and absolute bargains

 

Leeds have had a right pet lip ever since we took Diarra and Sadiki off them.

Every time they sign someone it’s like “better than Sunderland players” etc

Like, ****ing hell, there’s other sides battling to survive relegation too you know?

 

Oddy by name, odd by nature...

 

Incredibly there are no risks with any Leeds signing …

… all ‘good business’ which is code for ‘cheap’.
