Yes, all clubs are. Man U sold Ronaldo, did they want to, doubt it. Arsenal will sell Fibreglass, do they want to, doubt it. We all have bigger clubs with bigger pockets and we all sell when we have to.
Well said Syd, I am actually quite happy about it, 20 million from Henderson and 24 million from Bent. Both sold at times when their form was fading and both looked to have lost their confidence. I would personally buy: Welbeck 14 million Adam 6 million Krancjar 6 million Palacious 10 million Figgs 6 million N Zog 10 million DJ Campbell 1 million Onouha 6 million Bothroyd Free Larson Free Mensah Loan Total 59 million Net spend £15 million I think the above would improve us vastly.
I feel her breathe on my face, her body close to me... can't look look in her eyes, she's outta my league... (8)
I'd love the vast majority of players you've mentioned there although there's a couple I'm unsure about. Adam - We'll not get him IMO, would love him but he'll be off to Spurs, Liverpool, Man Utd etc Mensah - Too injury prone. Simple. Figueroa - Decent going forward but has looked shaky at the back when I've seen him.
Business is business, whether it's football, cars or property. If a deal is offered that is good for the seller then you take the deal. Not exactly rocket science.
Just read this on SkySports The Black Cats had repeatedly stated their highest-profile Academy graduate was not for sale, but Liverpool's cash has persuaded them to part company with the 20-year-old. As was the case when Aston Villa came calling in January with a deal potentially rising to £24m for Darren Bent, Sunderland were made an offer which represents an irresistible return on their investment. Liverpools cash persuaded us to part company with him, i'm sorry i'm not having a go at Bruce or Quinn with this but i think this really does make us sound like a selling club. The Unwashed bled Liverpool dry at £35million for Carroll and i am astounded at the speed that we have settled on a figure with Liverpool. Quinny said on his roadshow that they would do everything they could to keep Henderson at the club and it just feels like we've given in far too easily IMO. I am seriously worried about Sunderland AFC at the moment and think there may be another big name to go this summer (Gyan), i keep trying to put a positive spin on things but i always get a growing feeling of dread whenever i think about this situation. Keep the Faith?!?!?
U are a selling club, u produce players like Henderson knowing they will move on for a decent transfer fee, sadly though u are 1 of 14 or 15 clubs in the same position.
Vegas - Mensah I don't think will be back as he kicked off after being subbed in the Fulham game even though he was terrible!! (and he wasn;t very good over the season just gone) The rest - Yes please!!
Two reasons why it's so hard to solve a Sunderland murder: 1. All the DNA is the same. 2. There are no dental records.
