for under £10m I’d say so personally.

and what a weird hill to die on? Why does he have to be the absolute best to be a good signing?

Nobody is dying on a hill. Don’t be having a second flounce of the day, man. Jim said he’d be the best midfielder we could sign this summer. I’m just querying that:emoticon-0102-bigsm

I’m just saying, you quickly flopped from “I don’t want another midfielder” to “is this one really the best we can sign?”

it’s like you’re constantly looking for an angle to provoke consensus. And I get it’s good to have alternative perspectives but it’s a bit repetitive

Can someone explain to me what this "unfinished business" is that Xhaka has in the Premier League that he can "finish" with Sunderland?

It's such a lazy clichè.

Think that’s partly where my doubts come from tbh. There can be no business that he could possibly finish with Sunderland. He might fancy us given the range of options he has available to him, but let’s not get daft. Just have to hope his intrinsic motivation is enough to keep him on it.

Well I’ll make sure I’m as generous with Granit as you’ve been with Alan then:emoticon-0102-bigsm

You aren’t comparing Xhaka to Browne here surely?

Xhaka is a proven top level player in major leagues and international football.

Browne is. Well, Browne.

We absolutely cannot buy far above Xhaka right now. Above Xhaka is elite level, 50million plus realistically.

He’s a playmaking CM who can play all 3 positions in there and play them well, he is a ball winner and a leader.

He would be a stunning signing, an eyebrows fly off the face signing, at this stage.

Next year we get Barella and Camavinga.

Hahaha. What on earth? I just don’t fancy Xhaka as a signing I’m gonna thrap off over. That’s all it is - and I acknowledge I may well be totally wrong. Similar to when everyone was getting frothy over Angelino and I don’t fancy it. But don’t worry, I’ll make sure to pm you first next time, lad.

Loads of supporters thought the aforementioned Alan Browne would be a great player for us too.

I thought Browne was a great signing, thought he would provide great squad depth and bring quality leadership skills - he might not have impacted on the pitch as much as he would like but was still a value player

However, it's mental comparing his signing to yhe potential signing of Xhaka

This is a guy who played at the top of the PL, and was arguably their best midfielder the season he left when they finished 2nd. Goes to germany and absolutely smashes it, would run the show for then against even the elite sides
