Absolutely. Cirkin needs genuine competition for the LB spotI'd take that Merlin chap in a heart-beat!!

I just find it a shame really. Hernandez is 27 and would walk into a load of top European sides still
I find it a shame when very good players and certainly better than average move over there. ****eIts not a shame its pure greed.
Yes they can get injuries etc but why should players that are average get life changing money for playing infront of a few hundred Arabs that are looking at there phones? Its ****ing disgusting imo
Imagine Merlin / Bischoff or Cirkin / Mundle fighting it out for a place. Need to concratate more on right wing. But watch both of those for their respective countries in the u21's they've been very, very decent.Absolutely. Cirkin needs genuine competition for the LB spot

the only reason I’m not that confident that we will, is like Cam says, all our links are for good but cheaper players. Now they might just be because that’s what’s leaked. But you’d expect more expensive deals to be more likely to leak, not less likely. So it stands to (some) reason that we are focusing on better value players. At least currently.
Since I saw the rumour about the bloke from Roma I thought it would likely mean Speakman has some form of exit plan in mind. Speakman has probably earned a shot at a bigger role now. I wouldnt guess as to whether he has been beaten to it by this new fella, or he has a different route in mind to us. Either way I think if this new fella actually does arrive then it wont be long before we see Speakman move out. Good luck to him if he does, been brilliant here for us.Be a sad day when he does go but sometimes people feel like they've done everything they could do and fancy a new challenge.
I won't be surprised if he's been upfront with KLD about his plans as they seem to have a great relationship
. He'll know where he needs to improve (we all do) so surely it's a case of:Some of them maybe. A lot of these I likeProbably way of the mark but it almost feels like our championship targets list has been leaked and those are the current links we are seeing on social media
As third striker for a low fee? Yeah **** it why not. Southampton have got him fit again nowNot sure if any truth in it at all, but Ross Stewart?
i personally think cirkin will still be a a sunderland player at the end of the window
could still do with another LB on Top of him and i think the club will be looking,
Also think it will be a little bit silent until this potential new Dof is in and all sorted . personally think though depending on how that plans out, can see speakman leaving in the next year
If he had stayed injury free at Southampton in a heart beat. But the lads knee would implode like a collapsing star day one at the AOL if we resigned him. Absolutely gutted he left, genuinely one of my most favourite players of my time supporting the Lads and injury free he's 100% prem quality. But his case is one of the rare times the clubs had the best of a player and then sold him for a tidy profit. Best we move on.Not sure if any truth in it at all, but Ross Stewart?
It’s a weird one. I’d probably be more comfortable paying the £4-5m it would take to get Stewart than the £15m+ for Vanat. I don’t think we’re buying a main striker anyway. And signing Stewart would allow us to concentrate our money into more important positions like midfield and out wide.If he had stayed injury free at Southampton in a heart beat.

Well apparently KLD has been in contact with Ghisolfi I read somewhere since 2022. Wouldn’t be shocked if he knew a lot about the club already and how we work.As a side note. Will Ghisolfi actually need time to bed in?
The club / RLB have a style of play or systems as RLB loves to say. He'll know where he needs to improve (we all do) so surely it's a case of:
Do you know anyone who has these attributes, for this postion, for this much?
And Ghisolfi basically goes, aye, him him or him.
Or am I simplifying it too much?
Stewart is crippled, he’s never had a run of games because of injuries ever since he left. We’ve had Mowbray sacked, Beale brought in, Beale sacked, Dodds in charge, 16th finish, RLB in and a promotion since then.It’s a weird one.
