Hadn’t seen that, no way we can compete with Spurs.

London, CL, prestige.

We need to be able to compete with 3 clubs for signing. We can do a lot more than that.
Aye long standing interest, every window for the last 2 years but with a year left on his deal (I think) they should be a le to strike a good deal.
 
Just comes across abit defeatist to me, you’d think young players all over the world will be jumping at the chance to come here for the minutes and exposure they get as a result, money does trump that but not in every case
In fairness not just money, lot of these lads would be starting for top half premier league sides too. I'm sure we'll surprise a lot of people.

this is one of the reasons we have to be careful with this Jobe negotiation and not be seen to get into a stand off. We need to find the balance between not being pushovers whilst also not being blockers. Not saying we are being - just that we need to find that balance

I'm sure Amad would come here if the wages were slightly less than Brentford for example.

We do have money and people capable of spending it imo.
 
Selling Son as well.

Is he getting a game over Kulievski though? Wouldn’t think so would you.

Mind, rumours a few want out over sacking of Ange.
Kulu plays through the middle a lot more tbh, be him and Johnson but certainly could start over Johnson yeah.

What are we blocking though?

I know Dortmund is a special club, but we blocking a 19 year old from being a starter in PL.

Hardly blocking his path.

Agree with you on that mate I see both sides of the coin but digging our heels in now could cost us the next superstar in the making I wouldn’t risk it for the sake of an extra £5m

If he wants the move and the media are saying he does, then we’re blocking the move. It’s all about perception. I’m talking purely about how young prospective players perceive Sunderland

Hope so mate, hopefully the first through the door is a bit of a statement might change the way we look at our chances in the window

If we can raise eyebrows with one, we will get more.

That Netflix documentary has elevated people’s awareness of us, they’ve then seen the absolute passion and scenes, seen how happy the players are, how close the group is, heard Mayenda, then Hume say ‘I’m not going anywhere’ when pressed in major publications.

Folk see this. Folk see a club on the up with outrageous potential.

We can’t sign absolute elite players, but we can sign superb ones for sure.
 
Johnson was their best player last season though, and he’s improving all the time.

Kulu played central due to Madison & Son injury mainly, he’s a right winger, and a ****ing brilliant one.
I wholeheartedly disagree, but that happens in football. Brennan frustrated fans to no end with how inconsistent he was over the season and although g/a numbers look good it wasn't a great season imo.

Do like kulusevski though, made Johnson a better player.

Not sure how trustworthy that report about Singo was today but that would probably rule that one out, which is a shame if true.

Plenty great players about.

We need to be looking at clubs like Bologna, Braga, Freiburg.

‘nearly there’ clubs in lower paying leagues, the en France and Holland.

Ferguson
Posch
Zalazar
Rohl

4 players top of head from them 3 teams, massively enhance us.

Need an Almeria goals for £315. They have a cracking winger Lazaro.

Ah Merlin Röhl. The perfect midfielder, if he can ever stay fit.
