    This is not the Sunderland of old. We have an outstanding reputation these days. Players love being here. Just see Amad. Enzo. These lads at huge clubs but absolutely LOVE Sunderland (and that’s as a championship club). I can’t wait to see what we do.

    If you're a top quality 19 or 20 year old and PL teams are circling, we should have little chance against the established teams. Hopefully we can punch well above our weight in that regard due to our proven focus on youth - and our decent image / support.

    Getting another eye-popping signing, like Le Fee, in early could be key and help to get other prospective signings to take notice.

    We’d benefit from his wisdom, but I’d hope he was a late sub to see out a game. The prem needs athletes

    Jesus wept. You’re nice. It’s hardly ‘perceived’ in Qatar and Saudi.

    I think we’re going to make at least one signing that makes people go WTF

    likely due to links with RLB or the French lads we have playing for us

    Let's be honest, the players we borrow could be critical.

    Two things are in our favour in that it's a place young ambitious players will want to come ...

    ... and is somewhere big clubs will trust to send their 'Amads'.

    The top clubs are overloaded with lads who can't get games and Speakman will be able to name every single one off the top of his head.

    Ha'way the Lads!

    Why did Mepham not want to stay at Bournemouth and get less game time? He was the original example anyway of someone who might be happy playing less in the premier. We could go round for hours and hours on it.

    It isnt really like Watson was giving up game time in the first place. Brighton have tried for 3 windows to get him, long before he debut.

    My point is not that players wont come to us. Of course they will. The challenge is those who have played 40 odd games a season accepting being a rotation player. And again, I dont really believe we will rotate other than out of necessity and pros know that. Players are fit, but then there is match fitness. Regis himself pointed out the disruption to performances when changing things in the last 5. That is the only point I am making. I just dont believe if you are Mepham, pushing for international recognition, he is ok with a prem squad place. If you ar Dan Neil, who has been an ever present captain of your hometown club you cant be ok with not having the same responsibiity next season. These are reasons players graft for years, to play. If sign someone better than Neil I have no issue, that is the clubs choice. I dont believe he hangs around long though if he is getting bits and pieces. Sides in Europe can make the games go round a bit, or those fighting for cups. We cant.

    In fairness I think Andrey Santos would cost you that years ago too, in the conversation for best midfielder in Ligue Un at 20, Brazil international, top scorer at the u20s CONMEBOL from midfield etc.

    Jadon Sancho was expected to go for between 20 and 25 million to Chelsea, I’d love us to be in for him if they don’t take up the option.

    A huge risk but talent wise he’d walk into this side every single week

    Wages will be massive, mind

    His heart isn’t in it. The one thing I absolutely love about this team is that they die to wear the shirt. He wouldn’t. Wouldn’t want him anywhere near.

    Not sure I'd hate a player playing more for us than him at the minute tbh

    Shocking attitude and I don't think he's that good

    He will go back abroad
