Pathetically advised. Chasing the bag constantly and not bought into the youth development pathway that is now at the AOL. Just needs to look at Riggs rise through the first team.

He is a really tidy player mind and I wouldn't be surprised for him to play at the top level at some point.

He’ll get a warm welcome

I’m not disagreeing mate, most of them I thought weren’t good enough for us either just staying that they’ve been mentioned in this thread as options and other teams have spent money bringing them in. So how do we find it SO difficult? Ugbo is available, Troyes want £2.5m what’s hard about giving them it if we want him? It’s less than a few on that list we deem not good enough.

I think we have to be a bit careful. It may be that it’s difficult, owing to other factors involved. Troyes might want 2.5m to start with,but, is that all, when is it to be paid,are there any other payments due…. appearances, goals, promotion, offers to sell on etc. etc.
These contracts are often complicated.
Nothing is ever what it seems.

Contracts can be done in double quick time as other Championship clubs have proved ...

... relegation, insolvency and being sold to a bunch of chancers is often a consequence.

Sunderland have shown they're wising up, buying right and selling on their terms.

Ross Stewart is the kind of deal we've always been involved in ...

... sadly with us as the buying club.

Agree with your 1st and 3rd paragraphs.
Not sure what you’re saying in the others…. I’m a bit thick, I know!:emoticon-0101-sadsm

It's more likely me mate, what I say makes perfect sense in me heed <laugh>

What I'm saying is that some clubs just pay that £1m extra, give the player/agent a few more thousand extra and another year on the contract. That's irrelevant if you manage to scrape into the PL TV money but sign a dozen like that then fail and it can suddenly come back to bite you on both cheeks.

Sunderland used to be like that and we'd end up with players we hated, worth a fraction of what we'd paid and sitting in the reserves raking it in ...

... clubs, players and agents looked at us as a soft touch and laughed at us.

I feel like we're becoming untouchable now, we buy and sell on our terms these days.

Heard something similar that went with them asking for the same wage Rigg was being offered then his fatha smashing up the place at the AoL when they wouldn’t offer it so the club binned him off.

Eh? What like chucking stuff about and ****? Surely that a wild rumour <laugh>. Madness if true and club are well shot.

Others have said parents are slagging the club, which says to me there is some bitterness about something as the club gets nothing but praise for stuff like the young lads these days!

That’s what I’ve heard anyway. I knew his dad was a big handy f*cker though it wouldn’t surprise me.
