Well Cest we have the £6 million from the loan deal still in the bank (which I presume this is where you get your £6million from) plus whatever we actually get for Gyan, which could range from £3.5 million to 10 million from rumours so its likely to be somewhere in between and I am sure Short will have set some money aside for MON and we may generate some cash from Bramble/Elmo/Vaughan or Gardner etc.

Has Wenger not learned his lesson? He fills his teams with loads of players who all do the same job, Sessegnon is the last thing they need.

We will have shelled out for Bendtner from the Gyan deal so that's probably £2m or £3m done. We also spent money last summer and had 2 other loan deals in January. We don't have that initial Gyan money mate. We may well get a further £3m or£4m max but that will only give us £6m from the whole deal.
As for Sess having great stats, my problem is we are one of the lowest scorers and I would prefer 2 proper strikers next term and unless Ellis is prepared to fund it, Sess may have to be sacrificed.
So long as We don't do a Bruce and sell players without any replacements, we will survive losing Sess no problem imo.
Would prefer to keep him. But as we all know, everything has a price. And if he does go just make sure its a high price, taking a leaf out of Spurs book.
Still have to take into account all the FA Cup money generated etc so we will have money to spend without selling. I can see your point about 2 strikers and scoring more goals but Sess has got 8 goals this season with 9 assists so far and could potentially end up our top goal scorer and you hear names like Agbonlahor, Hoilett & Fletcher being banded about but they have poorer stats, and Fletcher may have 3 more goals than Sess but thats nothing. We just need a striker to finish Sess's passes off.
Honestly I think Sess is the man, the creative spark in our team and we must do everything to keep him and build around him, MON has already come out and said hes staying and come to think of it so has Sessegnon.
I agree.
I'll be gutted if we lose Sess. He should have the number 10 shirt as well.
Wenger won't part with that kind of cash - and why should we sell him.
Just last week he said he was happy. Is this the 'good old agent' making a bid for a new contract so he gets a cash injection. Normally that happens every two years doesn't it.
We are in no state to be saying let him go. If he went, why would you turn up to watch the lads. This would really pee me off if the club sold sess and a lot of people would feel the same as me. I've been watching sh**e for too long now and I'm sick of it.
Keep our best players and build from it.
In all honesty, I'm scared because MON doesn't have a great track record in the transfer market does he.... 8 million for Nigel Reo Cocker... Need I say more....!!!

****e ****e and more ****ing ****e...................
Come on get a ****ing grip...8 yes ****ing 8 goals and that is it........................yet we slate Bendtner.
He;s 28 years old, if we can get £17m snap their ****ing hands off......and let MoN build his team.
Fletcher!
With regards to Sess I expect the usual script from Arsenal on this - they will continue to be linked to him all summer but Wenger will dither and dither and somehow not manage to get the deal done on deadline day. Shwartzer, Samba, Cahill and Mata all spring to mind as done deals that ultimately never happened.
Money for Sess doesn't equal a better team after it's spent. The mags have had a blinding season and they're still 20 points behind the Manchester clubs. There comes a point where you have to stop selling if you want to get ahead and we really should keep Sess if possible, just like the mags should keep Ben Arfa and his chums if they can.
Yeah, I mean, if we signed the likes of Ashley Young, Stuart Downing, James Collins, Richard Dunne, James Milner, Stylian Petrov for instance and finish in the top 6 three years in a row, I'd be really, really gutted................FFS
I do wish some people would engage their brain before letting stupid stuff drop out of their gobs. Every manager, including Wenger, Ferguson, Mourinho and a host of others have made errors in the transfer market but the more successful ones also make tremendous ones that make a difference.
I havent included the likes of Muzzy Izzet and Tony Cottee (who went on to score important goals in 2 cup winning seasons when everyione had written him off) Chris Sutton who provided him a key player at Celtic.
He also develops talent like Agbonlahor and Heskey (and he was a talent in his early days).
Not angry Mon's, bloody livid.
I just would prefer people thought first before jumping in with innacurate statements like Martin O Neill doesnt have a great track record in the transfer market. It doesnt stack up.
I agree mate, i'm looking forward to seeing who we go for.
If it's Heskey mind....
This.
I have no idea where his best position is. He is not good enough as a striker, doesn't fit the wide role really.
The only way I could see him playing would be a 4-3-3 which most top teams player.
Something like this:
Sess......................McClean
.............New St.................
The only problem with this is, would that score us enough goals? Also MON prefers out and out wingers and 4-4-2/4-5-1.
I was about to launch into the same crass statement -O'Neil's record in the transfer market has been outstanding.
I don't agree that Sessegnon is "now the problem rather than the solution" -he's exactly the sort of player we need to progress, he regularly beats players and sucks in defenders from their position. This is precisely what Sunderland have lacked over the previous 3-4 campaigns. We have had the likes of Reid and Malbranque, but they were very inconsistent -also, dare I mention the name: Kenwynne, who was outstanding for us in the first 2 seasons and was a fantastic strike partner for Bent. It is players like these who do things that win games that will allow us to progress -just Newcastle's meteoric rise has coincided with Ben Arfa coming back to fitness -and we need at least one more of the same ilk in midfield.
Selling Sess is a no brainer.
