Not a massive fan of stats for centre halves, but it's at least interesting

Would love to see us go for Billing at Bournemouth. Surplus to requirements there but won the league with Napoli on loan. Absolute unit - the athletic physical profile we need, especially with Bellingham going
 
I've now lost track of who we are "genuinely" in for...so many names floating around 99% of which I've never heard of ( and I watch a crap load of football)....so...out of the names, who is a proper link and not just a fans choice of who they would like.
At the end of the day, i'm guessing who comes through the door will be someone from left field...our club goes about its business in a proper manner and not blabbing on social media or any other nonsense these days
 
Ha aye. Stands to reason we will have similar targets to them, Brentford, Leeds maybe to a lesser degree Burnley, Wolves and West Ham.

Not a bad sign if we looking same as Bournemouth given their recent track record.
100% for me the top 3 recruitment teams/strategies in the league as of late :
Bournemouth
Forest
Palace

There’s not many real links so we trying to speculate based on what we need, value and the model.

We’ve only been up 2 weeks the links will take a bit longer yet, so we just tossing ideas about.

Yeah some of Forest and Palace pick ups shave been superb.

Folk say Brighton but they pay more for their ‘finds’ they buy ‘half baked’.

The ones they sign young rarely get games. Out on loan and players brought in ahead of them.

Working for them but a bit less measured I’d say.

We keep the cards so close to our chest as a club these days so every name we are linked with I take with a massive pinch of salt.

Other than the Jobe possible exit I don't think anyone outside the club knows.
 
I keep seeing that Jobe has agreed a 5 year deal. I can only assume he was allowed to go and talk to these clubs with it being so public? If not then as you say it's tapping up and against the rules isn't it? Why is it so accepted these days?

As others have said Jobe agreeing a deal and saying Dortmund are where he wants to go weakens Sunderlands hand massively! And I assume this will happen in loads of deals where the player agrees before fee, so why is it allowed to happen so much these days? Should be Jobe x,y and z have reached what we want songs talk if ya interested or no one has hit what we want so no bother talking to them!
Did Jobe say it or his dad/ agent
 
I like Ekwah but only as an attacking mid-field player, not really what we want atm., I hope we get some interest and a decent fee, simarly with Triantus , the rest may just have to be written off, unless I have missed something.
