    Don't rule Man U out of bidding again. They need a huge rebuild after last season and unless Amorim is a total idiot he'll know they need another striker or they'll be as ineffective this season as last.

    I get what you're saying but I also see year on year progression across the last 5 seasons and he's still just 22. Think there was a lot more thought in his finishing this last season with a lot more low shots rather than trying to take the net off but if he can develop that further I think he'll be top.

    Something I've noticed about myself though is that I love athletes. I think i'd have a team of 6ft5 monsters if I had the choice so maybe that's why I like him:emoticon-0140-rofl:

    Well we can help there, there's a little winger they have that I'd happily take off their hands for a few quid. I think he's called Diallo...

    Anyone see that video of Promise David having the shirt ripped off him but still scoring. Dunno how old it is.

    I can’t argue with the athlete like the man’s a joke,

    didn’t watch as much this year as previous, so if he’s improved his finishing then fair, but I’m concerned that no one’s taken a punt on him at that age

    Man Utd are interested in Watkins as well aren’t they. I’d rather have him than Sesko.

    Villa are close to breaching PSR so I think he’ll be available for the right price.

    I can not go to any games now but am still a huge fan and supporter of my club. Attendance at games is fantastic but I show my support by getting up at 2 and 3 in the morning to watch games before going to work.
    We all follow our own path following the club and TBH supporting from afar has many problems but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

    He's obviously a highly rated talent, but for €90m you should surely be getting someone who is already at the elite level?

    His goal scoring record is decent but no more than that. What makes him worth €25m more than Gyokeres or €35m for than someone like Boniface?

    Chemsdine Talbi explains Kyril Louis-Dreyfus role in Sunderland talks

    upload_2025-8-2_8-13-12.jpeg

    https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/s...ns-kyril-louis-dreyfus-role-sunderland-talks/

    WHEN Chemsdine Talbi was contemplating his future this summer, amid interest from Sunderland, his knowledge of the club was somewhat limited. Big club, fell on hard times, won promotion back to the Premier League. That was about that.

    Then he had a talk with Kyril Louis-Dreyfus. The Sunderland owner has taken a hands-on role throughout this summer’s recruitment process, talking to prospective signings, helping negotiate deals, and even flying his own private jet to Switzerland to wrap up Granit Xhaka’s transfer and help transport the midfielder back to Wearside….

    “The key thing for me is this is a big club with a lot of ambition,” said Talbi, who joined Sunderland last month in a £19m move from Club Brugge. “That was the main thing that the president [Louis-Dreyfus] said when we had our conversation.

    “I thought it was a good move to do. The president had a really good view of what he wanted to come next for the team in the Premier League. I was excited about the project, so I came here. I think it's a good step for me. Not a big step, but a good step, I think. Yes, it’s a little bit different, but we need a challenge in life, and I will take the challenge 100 per cent.”

    …The youngster is set to be involved again when Sunderland host Real Betis at the Stadium of Light this afternoon and cannot wait for the real business to begin when the Black Cats host West Ham in their Premier League opener in a fortnight’s time.

    “It really excites me,” said Talbi. “The Premier League is one of the best leagues in the world, and I’ve played a few games against top teams in the Premier League. I’m really excited to play these games, and we hope we'll be getting good results. If you play against really top teams, you need to be efficient, so you will not get a lot of chances. We need to be compact and get the counter-attacks. We need to keep the ball and, as I say, we need to be efficient.”

    “I am young, but I think I already have a lot of experience,” said Talbi. “We [the summer signings] might be young, but I think we have a lot of experience. A lot of the other players have this experience also. This generation, we are a lot of young guys, but we have played in big games, so it's not about the age. I think it's really more about the experience that you get into the club.”

    (About playing with Xhaka) “He is a very good player,” said Talbi. “I think he will bring a lot of experience to the team that I think we need and I’m really excited to play with him.”

    Centre backs seem to be as hard as centre forwards at the minute.

    Looks like we want to go all out for our top CB targets rather than drop to the next on the list. Shows how important central defence is to us in this window.
