I think we definitely get one. If we get two it’s a prem loan at the end of the window
That's my gut feel and whilst we don't know what's going on behind the scenes with Mendy I really hope they have other options if it doesn't come off. If I have to hear Speakman talk about "not getting the deal over the line" or "value for money" again I may wander down to Cleadon and **** through his car sunroofI think we definitely get one.

Does that mean O'Nien will wear the armband if he's playing or will it be Neil no matter what?

As the defender enters his seventh season on Wearside, O’Nien takes up the mantle vacated by Corry Evans following his departure from the Stadium of Light.
22-year-old Neil – an Academy of Light graduate – has already amassed 149 appearances in red and white, and he will lead the team on the field throughout the upcoming campaign.
The duo will front a new six-player leadership team selected by Régis Le Bris, which also includes Alan Brown, Dan Ballard, Jobe, and Trai Hume.
Jobe in the 'leadership team' is interesting. Obviously young but you can often see him making himself heard and he's often one of the first to come over to the away fans after a game
Yeah its a weird one. He's very vocal though. And his position is vital for the press. So perhaps RLB sees him as one of the key "leaders" of the pressing game
Just means he will start every game now...
Only jesting.
I honestly wouldn't have him in my starting 11!
Me neither but lets hope he proves us wrong. He has the tools to suddenly blossom and become actually undroppable.
Random one seeing Jobe make the Leadership group.
Must be a big voice behind the scenes. It’ll probably be good for him being involved in it.
Over the moon for Dan Neil though. New contract soon hopefully.
