Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Absolute game changing signing.

Well done the club.

Buzzing doesn’t even start to cover it.

 

Wow, what a ****ing signing

 

Let’s all take a moment to show sympathy for Ten Haag…

Nah, **** it.

 

Thought it was a 3 year contract? Fab has said until 2027?

 

**** me. Contract only till 27 is a bit of a tough one. Means his PSR hit in 25/26 is comfortably the biggest. Guess it means that he's less of a millstone if we get relegated this way, though.

 

But Ten Haag said he wasnt leaving? Can this Fabrizio bloke be trusted?

 

You aren’t alone mate I rate him massively too, just seems he’s at the end of the road here, shame like really wanted him to play in the prem for his club, hope if he does move on he excels

 

Ten Haag has zero authority, the bald buffoon,

 

Wow you've changed your mind more then a hooker changes her kegs.

 

⚪️ EXCLUSIVE: Granit Xhaka to Sunderland, here we go! Deal agreed between all parties involved.

Understand fee will be €20m, contract until 2027.

Green light from Bayer Leverkusen for the player to fly today and complete his move to #SAFC, one more ambitious signing.

I was saying I don't think we would pay it not that I didn't want us to haha

 

Nah you're bang on IMO. Lots of extrapolation and confirmation bias going on with Dan Neil. If he slowed it down, it was because Reggie wanted him to. Maybe he hasn't found a role in a new game model yet. Maybe its to do with fit alongside new players. But there's far too much certainty from a pre-season friendly where the whole team were pretty terrible - and he wasn't even the worst midfielder - from what I can see.

 

Even if it’s only 2 years it’s around 9 million. It’s bigger than the rest but not massive considering we have more sales to come

also if it’s 2+1 I’m not sure how that works with PSR, I assume you account for 3 years but have to change it to 2 if you do not take the extra year? That is one area I’m not sure on

 

Wait for the details, but reckon it'll be 2 with an optional year extension; inline with our other contracts

 

To everyone I sent the PM to …

…

 

Oooh now this is exciting

 

Well Lauriente didn’t happen….

 

Get in there, welcome to Sunderland Xhaka. Let the Cheese see the chips !!!

 

That's the thing, I think he'd likely do better as an 8 but the 8's we have available right now is ridiculous haha
