I think another question to ask as well is why are so many players going there for big money, but leaving after a very short space of time. Only Ronaldo seems happy there, Neymar saw out his contract and left but loads of others seem to want out very quickly before the end of the contract.

Coz it’s a hell hole of a place to live. All the trappings don’t help…

I tell you what mind, Mitrovic would do damage here.

Would be such a great pick up and he is very different to what we have.

I don’t give a **** he’s ex Mag he doesn’t care about them.

He's said far too much positively about them mind, definitely an affinity with them. You might not give a ****, but it's just ammunition in the chamber waiting for a journalist, disgruntled fan, Newcastle fan etc. to stir up the ****.

A signing like that can still work, but they have to be class from day 1.

If we could nab a player like that on a free though, surely that’s worth the gamble.

Could be an absolute game changing pickup.

Someone has to convince me that about signing a striker!

Mayenda, new contract - surely assured minutes. Guiu, game time clause in his contract - surely assured minutes. Isidor - first choice striker for most of last season, surely going to play a part. I just don’t see the need for a fourth striker, given for the majority of the season they will be competing for one position.

Potentially Mayenda/Isidor covering the wings as well, but we’re also targeting another winger in addition to Talbi Roberts adingra Mundle.

(Not a negative post btw, strength in depth is hardly a bad thing, just don’t see the need for it atm)

It's about quality though.
 
Sunderland AFC confirms that Pierre Ekwah has completed a permanent transfer to AS Saint-Étienne.

The midfielder moves for an undisclosed fee after the Ligue 2 side triggered an option in the agreement that saw the Frenchman spend the 2024-25 season on loan at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.

Ekwah, 23, moved to England in 2019 and, following spells with Chelsea and West Ham United, he arrived on Wearside in January 2023.

The midfielder made 61 appearances and scored five goals during his time at the Stadium of Light, which came to an end last summer.

After making 29 appearances for Saint-Étienne in Ligue 1, Ekwah will now be part of Les Verts’ quest to seal an immediate return to the French top tier.

Kristjaan Speakman said: “Pierre moved last summer to play regularly and continue his development. He achieved this, and although it was a challenging season for Saint-Étienne, their decision to exercise this option indicates the level of his performances. Pierre joined us without any senior experience – he believed in Sunderland, and we believed in him. We are proud of the role we have played in his career, and he is rightly held in high esteem by our supporters. We all wish him well in the next chapter of his career."

All at Sunderland AFC thank Pierre for his contribution and wish him the best of luck at the Stade Geoffroy-Guichard.

Hahaha imagine the uproar from them lot up the road. Saudis paying off his contract, basically paying £25m to give us a player for free <laugh>

Won't happen of course, but would be the meltdown to end all meltdowns, ha

I'm sure he is being sold on by them also as he doesn't want to play in Ligue 2

Bags of ability, really liked him but nowhere enough drive and determination.

When you compare him and Hume, one has limitations but works so hard and applies himself every day, the other one is Ekwah.

For the want of that drive, Ekwah isn't going to be lining up next to Xhaka and the other lads in midfield on Saturday.

Shame, but he's made his own bed.

Wish him well but such a waste of talent.

I love RLB but does anyone really believe he will still be our head coach in 10 years, I'd love him to be so successful that he was mind.
I've got a feeling KLD is planning for a lot further than we think, possibly signing experience players he thinks are capable of stepping up. First bring them in to the coaching set up , then when the time is right.
He has invested heavily in the academy, so why not set up your own management academy within the club also.
Just a thought

Think that's his thoughts on zhaka
