Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Would be really nice if an exciting signing started to be rumoured tonight and sorted Friday in the build up to a big home game wouldn't it?

Please haha

 

It’s been a funny week, indeed. Get a draw v Burnley last Saturday and I bet it would have been hell of a lot more serene.

That’s it. Especially on the match threads when opinions (sometimes repeated too much) trigger people. Just whack a few on ignore then you have the choice to undo it when the dust has settled.

 

Didn’t we have the mayenda and Hume contract announcements in the build up to West Ham? Had Rigg today, so hopefully KLD drops a line to Romano tomorrow to get everyone buzzing ahead of Saturday (let me clutch at straws)

 

I guess being outside of the prem for so long, we’re not used to there being so much media coverage of our rivals, their rumoured transfer dealings, and their ability to go and spend 50-100 million out of nowhere. Burnley and West Ham might be about to do that, but could be BS.

it’s definitely making me feel anxious. We don’t need many but 1-3 signings of real quality would be wonderful.

 

It was reported by solid journos not just random accounts. It was legit interest.

 

We're in the best position for decades imo, I'm loving it all ...

... can't wait for 3pm Saturday.

 

Surely we have to bring in a striker winger and CB?

 

I’d like to think so but I’ve still got a lot of faith in the 3 strikers we have

 

I think CB is the priority and a versatile winger would be the icing on the cake

 

Blackburn linked with Alan Browne. Aye, that one would make sense for all parties

 

Talk of Yilmaz OTR.

 

both needed

cant go til jan with adingra talbi and roberts

 

Been loosely linked with a double bid for him and Sara (I think) over the last 6 weeks.

Although I wouldn't trust much the Turkish press put out.

 

Would love us to be all over this - (we wont)

hope he doesnt go to a west ham leeds or a team around us

 

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE AMAD THROW YOUR TOYS AND ASK FOR A LOAN

 

Got the following from AI about why Yilmaz would be a good signing:

• Versatility across the front line – can operate on the right, left, or centrally, giving RLB tactical flexibility and cover for multiple positions.
• Premier League physical profile – at 1.86m, combines pace with strength, rare for a winger; capable of holding his own against physical full-backs.
• Two-footed ability – while right-footed, he is comfortable on his left, allowing him to play as both an inverted winger and traditional wide player.
• Progressive ball carrying – ranks in the top percentiles for progressive carries, consistently advancing the ball into dangerous zones.
• Chance creation – strong underlying xAG numbers show creative quality even when direct assist stats appear modest.
• Aerial threat – wins nearly 80% of aerial duels, unusual for a wide player, giving Sunderland an extra dimension in attack and set pieces.
• Work rate and pressing – relentless defensive contribution, fitting seamlessly into a high-energy, transition-based system.
• Big-game pedigree – performed well for Galatasaray in Europe and at Euro 2024, proving capable under pressure.
• Age profile – at 25, entering peak years with experience but still room for growth.
• Market value upside – a player whose physical traits and versatility could quickly increase his resale value in the Premier League.

 

Rigg new contract.... Next up?

 

Vanat the striker linked earlier in the summer joining girona for 15 million euros

seems ages ago when we were linked ha
