    Birmingham fans were adamant they were getting him.

    They said that about Chris Rigg too mind.

    I find it purely bonkers that they thought they would get Rigg, nevermind for £10 million, Alan Nixon man

    He’s genuinely really good.

    he’s quick, both footed and direct. Perfect for the system

    he played under RLB for 3 games and was best player on the pitch in all 3.

    he’s got 22 G/A in two seasons in Serie A for a struggling sassuolo, then 24 G/A when they won Serie B

    has the ability to play left right and up front, it’s a perfect Sunderland signing

    Ross did his Achilles nearly two and a half years ago. It is an extremely bad injury, and he has barely played since.

    Absolute non starter. Good luck to him, but I doubt he will play much in the top two leagues now.

    He also spent some time on loan there earlier in his career and played for Lorient B whilst RLB was the coach there. So he's had a couple of spells working with Regis, albeit short ones.

    Be a canny fee involved too, (not that it means much) he's rated at €15m on transfermarkt

    He looks perfect for the style we are likely to adopt in the PL.

    Mayenda and him countering could be fun.

    He's almost exactly what I wanted. Would have preferred him to be 6 foot+ so a bit more power but can't complain

    He's a winger tbf, so height and stuff shouldn't matter much

    They’re delusional just another fan base that tried to create a rivalry

    Wonder if we plan on playing him on the right? Because that is probably the main priority position atm

    Obviously Lauriente would be an exciting signing in terms of what he offers going forward - certainly needs to be willing to offer something defensively though as our wingers have to work pretty hard keeping shape and tracking back.

    Not to say that's not an element of his game that is good or bad but he hasn't really had to do it so much for sassuolo.

    Don't think so, the right winger links will come.

    Just nice to get an actual journalist link us to a player and not with language such as "Understand..." or "one of the promoted clubs" or Sunderland and... and ...."

    Pretty definitive "in talks with" and only us mentioned.

    Not gonna get carried away but this feels like the first one this summer with actual legs.

    Mainly plays on the left, we only have Mundle right now, and he's just had two hamstring injuries in the same season, so probably best to not rely on him

    Didn't he have two relegation fights there? Was he not tasked with defending much?

    Had one yeah, but I didn't really see it much - like I say I'm sure he'll be able to it was just something worth considering

    Yeah seems a strong and sensible link, when weve been linked strongly in the past its normally closed quite quick as it not normally leaked till done

    These are the types of links I want, miles away from the likes of Leicester signing Skipp etc.

    Ability aside, financially going to make more sense, allowing more improvements and being able to keep a portion of your financial powder dry still.
