Good player Edwards. Surprised he hasn’t featured more for Southampton

Bologna have informed Jhon Lucimi that if they were to find a suitable replacement in these final days of the transfer window, the offer would be deemed adequate he would be free to accept the five-year, €3 million net contract from Sunderland'. [HASHTAG]#SAFC[/HASHTAG]

No surprise there, always thought they were bluffing.

They've had weeks to sort this out and have just 'done a Newcastle' imo ...

... probably end up in the same position.

Sunderland have gauged this perfectly imo, it's been a good window and better than we could've imagined.
 
I reckon Bologna were trying to see what they could try and squeeze out of SAFC by taking it to the wire. They may have figured out that the club isn’t a soft touch.
Hence the briefing around Aguerd etc. We'll have back-ups but also won't hurt to have it very visibly out there we can go elsewhere if you don't want your thick end of £30m etc

If Bologna's goal was to get the highest price possible for Lucumi they've definitely suceeded
I have no insider knowledge but I reckon this gets done - financially it's 30m now or nothing next year
