Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Superb move for Arsenal methinks. Only thing that has prevented them challenging for title recent seasons is the lack of decent goal scorer.

 

What is the latest on Sunderland’s transfer pursuit of Jhon Lucumi?

A fresh report from Italian outlet Quotidiano Sportivo states that the Black Cats are willing to return to the negotiating table with an improved package for Lucumi, which would consist of an initial £17.4 million plus a further £1.8 million in add-ons, totalling around £19.2 million.

As things stand, it is claimed that Sunderland, led by Director of Football Florent Ghisolfi, are awaiting a response from Lucumi himself, and will push ahead with a higher bid if they receive signs of encouragement from the player.
Once again, it is also stated that the 27-year-old’s agent is currently in Spain - where Atletico Madrid and Villarreal are said to represent potential destinations - while Bologna continue to scour the continental market for prospective replacements. Union Berlin’s Diogo Leite, Union Saint Gilloise’s Fedde Leysen, and Genoa’s Koni De Winter are all on the club’s radar.

We’ve been told lucumi is our priority by Scott Wilson who is a notorious ****e hawk

 

Ridiculous low ball bids, reportedly the best bid only totalled £27 million including add ones and bonuses.

 

Same shoulder 3 times. Had surgery after the second and then did it again

you can’t keep dislocating the same shoulder

 

Could have sworn I seen it before he mentioned it like

 

You probably did. All he does is post articles rounding up news he’s seen and never credits where it comes from

 

lol

 

Can't imagine anyone sent this

 

If Cirkin plays like he did before the wrist injury, it'll be no surprise to me that he's stepped up and O'Nien just keeps surprising everyone, so just can't be ruled out.

I think Reinildo and Cirkin will be fine at LB. I'd be more worried about RB, if I'm honest.

We need 2 CB reinforcements though. A steady 6 of 2 newbies with Ballard, Seelt, Alese and O'Nien will do me, with loans for Johnson and Hjelde to top end Championship clubs or Ligue 1 in France.

 

I've said RB is a weak position for us . Huggins is a risk. Not proved himself consistently due to injuries. Similar to Seelt imo.

If we can, as people on here said, rely on Huggins despite what little we've seen of him surely we can for Seelt as well

 

We have other players that can cover right back though.

whereas CB we don’t really have a consistent CB yet

 

No idea on the validity of the source but interesting nonetheless

 

first new link of any variety in 5 days so I'll take it

 

Yep. Even if he wanted to, it would just become a liability and end up being a wasted sub. Could just go again at any point, any duel.

Hope they sort it as he deserves a run out over a period in the PL.

 

Wouldn't bode well for Lucumi if true

 

Always like to have a look at who follows the source for it's legitimacy, and for this fella all I have is 'followed by Danny dichio', I'm In!!
