Summer Transfer window

Yep

 

I still think we’ll see a compromise. We’ll never know for sure as will be undisclosed but I’d bet the reports still end up at 30-35m euro

 

its likely the fee will go up and they;l; break their record, inflation after all

i find this funny, career being managed like a race horse

 

I wouldn't want any more beef with the mighty mark, everything is of course just alleged

 

Eerrr some of our fans were cocks about his kid last year.

 

I’d take 25 plus 20%. It’s realistic he goes north of £50m in few years.

Get the money banked for an oven ready PL player.

 

Some being the key word. Don’t tar the people of Sunderland with the same brush for me

 

in my ideal world he stays and we sell for £50m next summer!!

 

Fairs mate

 

Aye. Not everyone, who he likes to tar with the same brush.

 

Do Dortmund have a habit of selling players below their release clauses like? Genuine question.

 

not all players have release clauses tho. It’s only mandated in Spain due to Spanish employment law

 

The mighty mark

 

400 non league goals I'll have you know. Lethal is the word.

 

What happens first?

400 pages or Jobe signs for Dortmund?

 

I genuinely think we’d have a shot at him.

Entering a new era of Bayern dominance so anyone else in Germany we can compete with.

 

The bellinghams have a good relationship with speakman, which is one of the reasons he ended up here and is another reason the whole guaranteed game thing is most likely true.

It's interesting that we are reportedly playing hardball on numbers despite this relationship, would speakman burn that bridge? this is all conjecture but maybe it suits his purpose to now dig his heels in and do whats best for him and sunderland unless there's a third bellingham?

believe its mostly conjecture, fee is probably agreed its just structure in terms of payment and probably bonuses, we probably want more front loaded options

 

Why would we care about burning the bridge now?

They don’t have any more child-footballing prodigies do they?

 

Might not be Speakman’s choice. It’s his relationship… not KLD’s.

KLD is big enough and ugly enough to hold out for the 40m euro if he sees fit. Personally I don’t think he will. But KLD isn’t somebody I’d second guess.
