Think he was linked during the DiFanti windows, but then, we were linked with 100s of overseas players that summer.
He just said he heard there'd been talks. This is the kid that's given me a few gems early in the past, he's about a 90% hit rate.
No he is certainly a good player but I hate us dealing with Spurs, rather deal directly with the devil!!
He's a very decent player and he's better than we have in an attacking centre mid sense. See if there's owt in it first anyway!
Could have legs if they're getting Wanyama. Not sure how I feel about that one if I'm being honest, would expect he'd cost about £8m or so?
On here earlier the Catts post people were saying we should be asking 10 million for him, Mason is younger and English (I think) so he's,got to be at least the same if not more than Catts, you pay a premium for English players.
Add Daniel Levy into the equation and you're probably both right at £12m ish. Personally don't think we'd get more than £5/6m for Catts (that's a discussion for another thread). Midfield 3 of Kirchhoff, M'Vila & Mason.
Sunderland have been linked with FC Twente’s Hakim Ziyech, according to sources in Holland. But the Black Cats face stiff competition for the Dutch-born Moroccan international’s signature. Sam Allardyce is determined to strengthen his squad this summer and avoid another battle against relegation next season. He wants a right-back, an attacking midfielder and a striker, as well, ideally, as a centre-back and a box-to-box midfielder. Among those attacking areas of recruitment, Allardyce is targeting players who are adaptable across several positions, and Ziyech fits the bill. Left footed, the 23-year-old prefers to operate as a No 10 but can also play wide. He is known as a set-piece specialist. He has scored 30 goals in 66 games for Twente over the past two seasons, and though he was called up for the Holland national side last May, opted instead to represent Morocco, for whom he has two goals in six games. That form has attracted the interest of Bundesliga outfits Borussia Dortmund, Hamburg and Schalke and Russian side Spartak Moscow. But reports claim Ziyech - who has two years to run on his existing deal - would favour a move to England, and that Sunderland also face competition for the player from Arsenal, Southampton, Swansea City, Watford, West Ham, Crystal Palace and Middlesbrough
I think he'd get bounced from pillar to post, in our league. Too lightweight and easily knocked off the ball. I see him as a lesser version of Khazri.
