Summer Transfer window

You have to consider possible injury but if he starts the season well he’s pretty much guaranteed a call up for the September/October/November squads. If he develops at the same rate he has in the last year or so he’s a shoe in…

 

Ryan Sessegnon is 5/1 which seems extremely low.

Completely agree though.

 

If as reported Dortmund wnat him before the club world cup then hold out for the 40 as long as possible without pissing Jobe off

 

Just like Mayenda this season, his development has been insane. Good luck to the lad

 

Well hopefully we get a good sell on,I’ve enjoyed the lad and wish him well

 

SSN yellow ticker sky germany saying £25.3m for Jobe hopefully they are wrong

 

If 40EUR is the release clause, then JObe has no right to be pissed off

 

My one niggling doubt is the Bellinghams are intelligent, canny operators. They were our friends when that meant Sunderland were the best club for him. Now they’ve decided it’s Dortmund.

Got no reason to believe there will be any silly business but there’s a chance there will be.

 

To be fair, we haven't had Watson long enough to miss him ...

... if he hadn't scored at Wembley I doubt we'd be too unhappy.

 

A bit like the Clarke deal, we are still in the infancy of becoming a club that sells players for profit. So the fees received are going to be a bit lower until we become a trusted seller. Clubs like Brighton can demand huge fees because clubs trust that the player has been developed properly but some of their early sales weren't for extreme fees like they are now

 

Sky Germany are saying a fee of 30m euros will get it done

Like I say I reckon it’s a negotiation. They’ve bid 25m euros and we want 40m.

Sky Germany are saying 30m euros will get it done and I’d bet anything Dortmund have told them that to pressure us into accepting it

Fab 10 minutes later says we want 40m euros and I’d bet anything KLD leaked him that.

all a game. It will be somewhere around 30-35m euros including add ons

 

Sunderland are pretty good with these things since the new regime arrived tbf.

 

It’s weird for me. I love Jobe. But I am seriously excited at the ready made PL quality we could bring into our midfield with that money!

 

It was more of a sense of numbers mate. Was our back up left winger, so we have 3 to replace just to get even with last years squad. Would like to keep the rest of main squad from last year now.

 

yes we are. I meant there’s that niggling doubt that Jobe pulls a wobbly if we let it drag

 

If Jobe’s decided he wants out for himself we also do what’s right for us and stick it out. 40million euros please or a decent sell on. The more we get the better we strengthen. .

 

Over to Dortmund. Their first game of the CWC is 17th June.

 

Jobe is in the u21 squad for the euros so there’s no guarantees he’ll even go to the club World Cup. This might drag on longer.

 

I'll be extremely disappointed if Henderson is the direct Jobe replacement.

I think we'll drop Enzo deeper into Jobe's position (like in the playoff final), bring in a real creative player for the 10 role and a physical player in the deeper midfield spot.

 

Don't think it will me. Not our style and the relationship with the family is too good. I reckon it will be about 25m plus add ons etc.
