Jobs off according to Keith, £25m, has a higher release clause but sounds like we are knocking some off for Jobes commitment last summer, gutted but goes with my best wishes, I’m tired of our players being linked away can we have some incoming links now :emoticon-0102-bigsm:emoticon-0102-bigsm
 
Shame to see him go but works for all parties so goes with my best wishes ‘best club in the ****ing world man’ and don’t you forget it Jobe lad, sure we’ll see him at the Sol watching on in the near future

We certainly have a list of players in mind - the replacement for Jobe positionally will be Le Fee I think.

With a defensive midfielder coming in to "replace him".
For me Neil also competes for the position Jobe played and at some point Rigg plays deeper. We need depth, options competition. Henderson plus Henderson 2.0 ie a specialist for the cdm role.

Keith just recycling the other Sky story. KLD via Romano has stated otherwise.
 
Going to be as much business finding clubs for our unwanted players as there is for incomings. Got to assume that we will be moving on some, if not all of:

Pembele, Hemir, Rusyn, Ba, Aouchiche, Matete, Bishop, Anderson & Ekwah

Matete, Bishop & Anderson only have a year left so I could see us paying them up

Trouble is, you can only sell what someone is willing to buy. I'd imagine the PL money means we might be more inclined to take a financial hit on some of these lads just to get them out the door.
Disappointing thing is that the likes of Hemir, Rusyn and Ekwah haven't impressed enough to trigger the permanent deals we set up - doesn't exactly bode well...
75% of that window was terrible. But Mayenda …
 
I'm not sure this 'Jobe situation' has anything to do with 'a model' tbh.

I'd imagine the club would be happy for him to stay at Sunderland as we're only going to have to replace him ...

... the problem with highly talented players is that they're ambitious and other clubs will want to buy them.

And, as has been said on here, the only way to attract ambitious young players is to allow them to advance their careers when they're ready.

Clarke, Stewart and now Watson have gone and SAFC are still progressing.

We've just brought in a '16 year old Irish superstar' who had a choice of clubs ...

... that probably wouldn't happen if we 'played hardball' with Jobe in my opinion.

We're building up a reputation as firm but fair negotiators, a far cry from the hapless mugs we've been in the past.
 
Ideally, the Bundesliga club want to complete a transfer in time to include Bellingham in their squad for the forthcoming Club World Cup in the United States.

Sunderland’s owner, Kyril Louis-Dreyfus, and sporting director, Kristjaan Speakman, are understood to be resigned to the loss of Bellingham this summer.

However, with the 19-year-old contracted to the Stadium of Light until the summer of 2028, they are in a strong negotiating position and are adamant Bellingham will only be leaving on their terms.

Reports in Germany have suggested Bellingham’s contract contains a €40m release clause (around £35m), but have claimed Dortmund are hoping to complete a deal for a lower initial fee.

The Sunderland hierarchy are likely to be willing to discuss a range of compromise options, but will insist the final overall package for the deal is worth at least £35m. There have been suggestions that Dortmund could be willing to pay an up-front sum of around £25m, with the rest of fee made up of future add-ons.
