Nah I suspect it’s just because he’ll have to cover us on Sky this season and wanted to avoid any perception of bias etc.
Going out on a limb but if there’s another on the way and close but very quiet it could be another free like Masuaku was. So how about that right back Calabria that was loosely linked the other day?
I’ve heard it’s Erling Haaland. Boyhood Sunderland fan through his grandad who was a regular at RP in the 1970s. It’ll probably tie in with what others have heard.
We aren’t selling him for £10m like. We’re in the market for another RB, not flogging the one we have.

On the Hume thing. I wouldnt want to see him leave. I would like some vestiges of the side from last season left. And I like him as a player. My one concern is pace in the back line. So many speedsters in the prem and if the right side is Hume and Ballard it would be a vulnerability in our side to manage from midfield.
