Think that is the point he is making. It was said but turned out to be bollocks so might be again!

As others have said would be surprised the club even bidding if he didn't want to join! I know its not how it should be done but clubs sound players out these days and have a package agreed before they really start bidding!

Very, very rarely now does a club put in a serious bid for a player without knowing the player is interested.

Maybe it shouldn't be that way, but in all honesty, I can't see any other way of doing it, and it's probably always been done. Even if they no longer meet in the dark at motorway service stations!
 
Tbf I’ve been interested in seeing if we would loan him for a few weeks. Felt like something up our street. I just would have preferred a buy option so when he inevitably goes back we aren’t heartbroken because we can’t get him back haha

That was never going to happen though ...

... players of his youth and ability are being sold by Sunderland, we're not buying them.

We're all realists and have to remember where we are, how far we've come but also how far there's still to go.

Decent squad option though? We are a bit on the bare bones at cb
Not for me, he isnt good enough to start at PL anymore imo

He's got experience and is left footed, but he doesn't have the quakity to play in a back 4 imo

If we played a back 3, I could see him in the middle of the 3 but even then I wouldn't want him starting any games for us
 
I’d trust soon to be 36 y/o Ben Mee over sick note Aji Alese.

We’re so desperate at LCB, thankfully we’ll sign better than Mee to start games.
 
I was thinking about Mee as an option the other day, but he barely kicked a ball for Brentford last year

As a squad option maybes seems a good pro and bags of experience

Leaning towards a no
 
That’s a ridiculous starting point.

He’s shown little bits but nothing to show he’s exceptional yet.

We can probably name 20 wingers who were going to be special and failed, or at best turned out ‘ok’ at best.

Everton signed most of them <laugh>

He’s definitely got a bit but starting at £27m is a hard no.

Maybe. But he's only a kid, (19?). Played and looked decent quite a lot in an appalling team which gave up around November. Must have played close to thirty games in the PL. And he does have that spark that few have. I like him.

Stupid money of course it is. But we sold a lad the same age for more and he hasn't played in the PL at all.
