I think the club will lend the money from its self, get whom we need then put it back when Clarke leaves imo
thats the best way round to do it, because as soon as we get £25m for Clarke, every bugger we try to sign becomes much more expensive.

Fair enough mate, just don’t see him improving our Xl to be honest hope I’m wrong! We all know he’s got talent but just having it and actually using it are totally different which is probably why Leeds are happy to get rid. If we were to start with Browne/Neil/Rigg then Clarke and Poveda we have a worse “midfield 5” than we had in the 22/23 play off season albeit some of the younger lads like Neil have more experience.

Excellent fee for someone who’s desperate to come here and scored a load last season.Di Canio's Knees on RTG
Mendy signed, pending medical which is being done as we speak. Can’t see it being announced today like, probably one for tomorrow now. Fee as low as £1m plus add ons (I don’t know what the add ons or values are mind.)
Poveda today and Mendy tomorrow is my guess.
KS loves a good deal doesn't he
Got a gut feeling this lad is going to be good this season given a chance at centre half.Hjelde is worth 2 Mendy's aparrently
Must be a treat for our doctors to perform a medical and not have to give out a lollipop at the end of it for being a good boy.




Yeah but is there any solid evidence he’s signing or just this online gossip?<blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Inbox on our FB page <br><br>Ian Poveda <a href="https://t.co/FIW3NuXqHf">pic.twitter.com/FIW3NuXqHf</a></p>— Macca (@sunderlandafc11) <a href="You must log in or register to see media">July 24, 2024</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Yeah I actually think he's been decent at CB, but still not a 2 million player, worst value deal we've had under Speakman imo when you look at how good the deals are he usually makesGot a gut feeling this lad is going to be good this season given a chance at centre half.

Who was our midfield 5 then?
Evans and Roberts in, can't think of the other.
I wonder if Clarke really wants to leave.
He hasn’t got good memories of his time in the Premier League and when we played the mags he was poor against a Premier League defender.
I think he’s very happy here and it’s working well for him.
He’s having a great time in the Championship, a big fish. If he were to go to the Premier League I have doubts it would work well for him there.
Perhaps with a side like Ipswich he may get enough games but if he sticks with us he will play every game and because he’s such a good fit in our team he would probably do better if he went up with us (providing we go up sometime in the next 3 years)
I wish him the best if he does move to the Premiership but I think he would struggle. I don’t think Neil or Ballard would struggle with the step up and next year you could add Jobe, Rigg, Huggins, Hume and Cirkin plus a couple of others. Clarke to me fits in between these two groups.
Basically I want to keep all our top players. Maybe we could sell about £10 million’s worth of lesser players to cover the incoming players costs.
Evans Neil Amad Clarke and Roberts until Evans done his ACL
Which was that? He’s much better down the right imo, offers great defensive work too.
Our midfield now is a better but Amad was very very specialBloody Amad. No replacing him.
#deepfakethink that is solid proof if proof is enough
