Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

[LKToday]

Wow Haway the Xhaka

 

[Yes but no but]

Never in my life did I think I’d see the words..”Xhaka has informed leverkusen he only wants to join Sunderland” haha, buzzing

 

[Southern A]

Trying to calm. Leverkusen might decide to be ****s and hold out for more money but I've always liked them so I hope Xhaka essentially requesting the transfer should help smooth it over.

Wonder if this has any impact on the already surprisingly high calibre of player we are able to attract this summer.

This feels like a massive vote of confidence from a lad whose won 100+ caps in a good Swiss side and played at the very highest level for a decade.

You’d like to think so mate. If Xhaka comes surely it would us a more attractive destination for others

 

[Del Piero]

We have a huge chance of staying up if this happens.

 

[Micklar]

Won’t believe it until he’s got that scarf above his head… we know what happened with the last ‘here we go’ … is what I want to say. However,
Bring it on! We have serious pulling power now

I understand the reservations of a 3 year deal for a player who's 33 in September.

But if he keeps us up he can have a 10 year deal.

I can honestly say I couldn't care less tbh.

I see all these negotiations as 'none of my business’ ...

... if we sign Xhaka it shows that the club is being run by professionals making decisions, not the rigid 'model' people believed it was.

We've sold Watson, Stewart, Clarke, Jobe and possibly Ekwah without missing a beat.

Send Pov as part of the deal

 

[CR17]

I'm over the moon

 

[TonyG]

My gut is telling me we’ll get a here we go for this today.

 

[Smug in Boots]

Not over to the fat lady sings but I’m hoping we can sort a deal out with leverkusen

If this doesn't happen I'm going to take a run up and dropkick her right in the fanny!!!

completely agree mate. Either he keeps us up and he was worth the 3 year deal, or we get relegated and no doubt he has a relegation release clause.

Its win win.

I have put chilli pickle in me sarnie though so it might be that

 

[SourPatch2]

'Only wants to join Sunderland' is a hilarious statement when you think of some of the **** that turned us down in the League One days

 

[CR17]

He's also told leverkusen to close the deal quick

 

[safcrd16]

Fair play to Sacha

 

[ab65]

Terrible!

20 hour labour. Wife lost a litre of blood. Kid ended up in NICU for a couple of days, mum and kid had to stay in hospital five days with all manner of bumps and bruises but both just got out today and it looks like they are on the mend.

Good news was the first labour was 22 hours and she lost 2.5 litres of blood, so we know for a fact it could have been worse.

There will be no third kid. Not a ****ing chance!!!

Congratulations mate. Hope your wife and younger Disco both continue to recover well and are fighting fit soon.

 

[Dunder Mifflin]

Stefan Schwarz esque, we’ve gone up another level this summer

The opposite of what some players/agents do ...

... some would still be touting themselves before the ink's fully dried.
