Love this: Sporting Director, Kristjaan Speakman said, “Patrick was a catalyst in the success of Sunderland over the past four years. He joined us in League One, believed in what we were doing, where we were going, and immersed himself in our Club, on and off the field. He made a huge impact for us, and with limited opportunities this season, it’s appropriate to ensure he can continue to play regularly throughout the campaign. We wish him the best of luck and thank him for his immense contribution. Patrick will always be able to call Sunderland home, and he will always be welcome at the Stadium of Light.”
Southampton only got 12 points in total last season and only won 2 matches. I know it's early days but i think we will take any team on. Nowt to be scared of lads, get into these ****ers.
Honestly, I'm slightly surprised we didn't end up with Bakwa, assuming we were interested... Thought BlueCo might do us a favour on that one, given the Guiu situation. Maybe the player preferred Forest, be understandable tbh lol
That's a proper send off statement, unlike those goons up the road. We look after our lads. Big difference and it won't go unnoticed in the footballing world.
Now we just need a 'don't go to bed yet' tweet followed by Abdullahi to Livingston and we'll truly top off a wonderful summer.
Jonathan Liew from the Guardian just said on Sky back pages that the theatre of the window has been great for the fans, the "Here we go man", the fans tracking planes over the North Sea... then when asked who's had the best window... John Cross from The Mirror said Liverpool, the next.... Miguel Delaney from The Independent... Sunderland very astute and excellent business
Looks like Rusyn & Aleksic will still go out. Not sure about Abdullahi but he may benefit from training with the first team for a bit. https://www.thenorthernecho.co.uk/s...n-milan-aleksic-leave-sunderland-coming-days/
I think Aleksic is still heading out. Few windows still open. Wouldn’t be shocked by see him back in Serbia and Abdu back in Belgium for example. Scotland still weirdly open https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/articles/c79lpz27g4xo
So only these flour left. Surely they are released to go and give themselves a chance of a new club Ba, Pembele, Matete, Poveda
