This link won’t go away, seems he’s our first choice target with how much we’re seemingly pushing for it.
All of a sudden there's been a big change in affairs.
For years these international media outlets have referred to us as, 'Sunderland, a club in the NE of England' or 'Sunderland, recently promoted from L1', or whatever.
Now. there just saying Sunderland and, all of a sudden, they don't need to use a caveat. It seems to have changed with the arrival of Ghisolfi and the greater involvement of KLD. There can't be an agent in the world who doesn't know the former or a supporter in mainland Europe who doesn't know the Louis-Dreyfus family.
I'd guess that players, and their agents, are now suggesting Sunderland more than we're making the first approaches.
They're all suddenly linking themselves to us and every 'journo' and source are jumping on the bandwagon. At this point, in a PL window, Speakman would've been buzzing round like a shop window bluebottle but I'd bet he's had a few days off.
The name 'Sunderland' is suddenly on everyone's lips ...
... the Mags must be absolutely fuming
