Too much excitement around Xhaka. Im choosing to do a 180 and say "hes probably gonna be ****e". Just to keep the forum going.
Would be the most Sunderland thing to do at the mo. We're all awaiting the club announcing Xhaka, later today the club post a scarf picture on twitter about 1530 and post Lucumì first.
He may not get loads of info etc. compared to some of the bigger journalists, but I always think he comes across great whenever he’s interviewed or does videos.
He'll probably fail his medical....enlarged heart....or,can't get a work permit as the Swiss won't reveal the whereabouts of the Nazi treasures,or,his Missus will hate Seaburn because Luke's dog keeps pissing up the side of the pushchair,or, he'll do his cruciate in a challenge with Hume in his first training session. ****ing hell....hope KLD's paid the insurance premium! Those risks aside....can't wait to see him with the scarf!
I laughed when I saw people genuinely talking about making an offer for Amad. But then I thought why the f not ? No clue if it's actually in KLD, KS vision but would be canny Plus It wouldn't technically be going back for a player because he was never ours.
Hope we get a keeper in before the season starts plenty of competition for patto dreading going with him and Moore
I understand the concern,but I wouldn't dread it. Imo,a CB and a striker are priority now,with a slight caveat over Mundle. I think Mundle was on his way,hence our deal with Lauriente,which was paused owing to Mundle's injury. Not sure what will happen there now. Not saying we shouldn't look to improve the goalie position,but you can say that about every position,and goalies often improve when they have a more solid defence in front of them.
100% mate - he is the real deal. I am thrilled he is here. As for Mr Waddle, if only we had him for the season. 7 games was just too much, even for him.
