Don’t quote me on this but I’m thinking maybe with the Mendy news aswell as him that it could be that Isidor on the left and Mendy/Mayenda upfront with Ian Harte and other rumours about Clarke Leaving?
 
Obligated to sign him ? So wasn't ideal in the end for them ? Hopefully good news for us. Looks like a lively Ross Stewart on that video earlier in the thread.

Isidor broke through at Monaco before heading out on loan. He joined Lokomotiv Moscow in 2022 before linking up with Zenit on loan last season. Zenit were obligated to make that deal permanent this summer but Sunderland then learnt of Isidor's availability and made their move.

The striker's imminent switch was confirmed on Tuesday by Zenit chairman Alexander Medvedev, who said: "Wilson Isidore is on his way to Sunderland, England."

I know modern day football has no morals or ethics, but if we give money to the Russians , how does that make us better than the great unwashed up the road with their blood money?.

An absolutely mental view.

I would rather give it to Russia than Ukraine any day of the week. In my opinion Russia should be admired for the way they have stood up to Nato encroachment.

A vile and misguided view.

A trolling thickie view.

I can't wait until this transfer window is over.

Two views I've held on the Sheff Wed game that I need to get off my chest;

Firstly, this idea that Sheff Wed were ****e doesn't sit right with me, we forced them into being a lot worse than they are, for me they'll finish in top half this season, I said it before the season and I'll maintain that. They showed early in the game that they had threats, so much of it was physical but they did also play some nice stuff at times, or attempted to at least, we were just brilliant in the middle and very clinical.

Secondly is this view that this game was anything like Southampton at home last season. That game was the definition of giving away a game, they put all the goals bar the last on a plate for us. Their keeper and defence were horrific and as AltEnding said on YouTube, we played on the counter against Soton, where as we dominated Sheff Wed in the middle.
