Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

I think he will be away too.

I dont think there is shame in the occasion getting to him. Imagine us in his position as fans. He cramped up badly as a result. You could see his disappointment in himself. I would bet he has learned from it and is a better player for it. Hope he is remembered for the mega contribution over 200 games, not the poor performance in 1.

 

Something in my eye mate. Yes, an absolute club legend for me.

I do think we overestimate how much players will accept being more squad players now. I agree Neil deserves first team football. The last thing he has shown is a willingness to toss it off and not play. He has grafted his arse off to play. I think we might find similar with Ballard, Cirkin, Patto, Rigg, Mundle if they are suddenly subs in 60 ot 70% of the games. Rare to find players these days happy to be on the bench and ours have a taste of being on the pitch. Regis has a balance to find, and I would suggest his biggest challenge is going to be Rigg. If, as I suspect, Rigg comes back an absolute monster, he might well have to take a look at Le Fee or Diarra. Ha, that would be a selection meeting I would love to be in.

 

Aye I think Rigg continues to develop and plays himself into a role. Even if that’s ’sub 1’ and a lot of minutes.

Can see Ballard getting plenty game time. He’s ready for PL.

 

What! No christiano Ronaldo kleeeeenin tha booots

 

Ballard interests me. I think he is prem ready too. Will 100% need pace alongside him I think. He can go chasing his man at times, but very much something he can cut out. Could easily be the next £20m outgoing next summer if all goes to plan.

 

Aye, not all CB in the PL are quick, one of 2 is enough.

I can actually see Dan and Trai being long term Sunderland players.

 

I hope we get two centre halves, alese/seelt need to probe they can stay fit. Ballard is prone to a spell too and we need added quality there

 

Don’t think West Ham or Everton would go in for him and give him more game time than we would he proved last season he is average at best yes I know he had about eight games where he looked class but the rest of the season? Too slow and one footed to make it as a top prem player in my opinion

 

if DN is on the ball and slowing it down then the other 10 players have no choice

 

Yes please

 

I'm not a huge fan of his but feel he's probably what we need

 

no nah, lending players from relegated teams.

 

Wouldn’t cost a fortune upgrade on what we have canny stop gap if we can’t land a top target? Not one to get the pulse racing but a solid addition

 

Feels like a really solid ‘right now’ signing.

 

Yep solid is how I'd describe him, not sure City would want silly money for him either

 

Seen much of the Ukrainian lad? Complete unknown to me

 

Solid will do just fine year one mate

 

Nah it wasn't a league we focused on so not a league i know much about tbh

 

Totally, providing they don't want silly money

He knows the league as well which i think is important
