Btw reading this part Sunderland’s a clear option for Xhaka, as Fenerbahçe, who spoke directly with the Swiss. However, there’s a feeling that Xhaka drive up the price to get the best possible offer. Sounds like he's open to it, he just wants the best offer
 
Tbf it's very valid for some to be a bit wary, the deals that have been linked and ended up going on longer haven't happened so far. The ones that have came in, have happened fast with not many links
We don't know which deals were thr oldest though or which ones have been in the pipeline thr longest

Adingra was linked in January so I expect that he was one of the 1st we went after but was the last of the new signings to sign

Time will tell whether we get xhaka or not, I hope we do

Do we really want someone here whose sole decision is based on money?

If it comes down to money, Fenebache could blow us out the water.
 
the best approach to this and any transfer window is just to relax, when we need to know we will.

no need getting knickers in a twist for lack of news,

postitve vibes and postitve thinking,

have a lovely day all

My take on it was well. No matter what player we want to sign it's down to the club and player if they come here. All we can do is wait for the picture to say they've signed

Think if he was coming to us it would be done by now. I think he is waiting for better offer. Really hope I am wrong

Not necessarily.. the problem is someone posts one tweet saying we’re linked with a player and you’ve got people taking it as a done deal straight away, people checking every flight into the airport for the next 3 days, people making “Welcome to Sunderland” YouTube compilations etc.. transfers aren’t always straight forward

no harm in talking about it until they do though, right? The thread would be easier to follow I guess but it would only be 9 pages long :D

Best offer doesn't always mean money though, it'll be what's best for him and his family in terms of playing team, style of play he'll be asked to do, money, contract length, where they'll live, schools for their kids and what gives him the challenge he wants at this stage of his career
 
Signings being kept quiet has really altered people’s minds on how long a transfer takes to be complete

Yeh thats why I said I understand why some people get nervous if it goes on for a few days, considering our signings this window have come about so quickly once leaked.

This one has leaked much earlier which is why we all need to be patient.

Not sure why that POV was jumped on for not being patient.

True but I was replying to the post that said Xhaka would drive up the price to get the best possible offer?

without fear of having my head bitten off,

all fans, not just SAFC on here or any sort of "social" media, just need to chill
