After the expiration of John Janer Lucumí's high release clause, Sunderland formalizes a formal offer to Bologna for the Colombian.

Galatasaray has also made formal inquiries.

Absolutely. We need to find the best way to get a decent return on our investment. A lot of people don't consider all the effort that goes in.

We have to remember that every player, from Alese to Cirkin to Mayenda to Hume to Huggins etc, all start off with a recommendation or a scout picking up on something. After that there’s endless scouting, data checks, background reports, etc. Then comes the contract and so it goes on.

It’s not ‘Fantasy Football’ where you can just swipe left and eradicate a player from the club.

I wonder what the combined value would be of all the players we've ‘written off’ …

… Jobe, Watson, Mayenda, Hume, Clarke and the rest

Easily over £100m in my opinion, patience isn’t always a bad virtue.

Missed a bit of today. Am I right in saying Lucumi’s looking probably ? The Leicester lad less so

Given how long the reporting has been going on I'll hazard a guess to say that we wouldn't let it be known an official bid is in for Lucimi unless we were confident a deal could be done. It would be a weird saga otherwise.

Romano and Keith both say we've bid for Lucumi and Bologna don't want to sell. But he only has one year left on his deal and wants to join us.

Random journo says we've bid for Fatawu. Pingu says we haven't, but Northern Echo say we have.

Northern Echo also say we are confident on both.

Imagine having the busiest transfer window of all time and not even needing deadline day. That's what's somehow even more impressive than the fact we've brought in some incredible players. We've done it quickly, early and decisively.

Very impressive, given that West Ham, Brentford and dare I say Noocastle, will be scrambling round towards deadline day making some panic signings.

We’ve got a loan spot to fill as well if needed!

Can’t go off the Norther Echo unfortunately. Scott Wilson tends to put stories out there which have been reported on Twitter

 

[Southern A]

Never done this before but this was the moment I knew we had a player with Diarra. This break is ridiculous carry from one end to the other

[Simon Humes]

That might get it over the line

10/10 window if we pul

 

[SAFC Wilks]

And I think that may be us done in the window for incoming if both Jhon Lucumi and Abdul Fatawu comes in

The it just be out going

More than happy with that should it happen.

Another striker if I’m being greedy…

I wouldn’t say no to Hoijlund on loan like.

Cheers. Northern Echo say anything. Lucumi doesn’t sound close yet then but sounds probable.

 

[SAFC Wilks]

I think Lucumi is quite close.

We won’t have sent a bid if we didn’t get encouragement from the player and Bologna.

Player wants to come says Romano & Bologna have signed that replacement already. He’s only got a year left so they basically need to sell.

I think we get him within the next 72 hours.

I wouldn't suggest we should.

However Alese and Huggins are similar to O'Nien, Hume, etc. If the club believe they have the talent and attitude worthy of persevering it's by far the cheapest and simplest avenue to go down. Clearly, it has to be for the right reasons but ditching players too quickly can mean losing a Ballard, Mundle or Mayenda ...

... all three have been written off by supporters, at various points, but not by the club ... how much are they now worth combined.

What I suppose I'm saying is that we're not the best judges.

I get your point but only morons would have written off the three you mention. I think both alese and huggins have potential but don't see either as being prem ready and players we can rely on for at least a couple of years. They aren't kids either so it's time to move them on. The model was to buy young and develop them in championship and hopefully like Hume, mayenda and ballard they can make step up.Neither huggins or ballard is ready to step in to the premier league and we can't just hoard players. I don't think it's best for the players or club. We are now buying a better calibre of player with first team European experience and hopefully can develop into prem players.
Saturday was ****ing mint but let's not get carried away..west ham are bang average and there was nothing in game for an hour. We need to keep striving for better quality.

TBF he's would check with his sources before writing the article

Incredibly harsh on Ballard if he has to drop out. Admittedly not everyone will be fit at the same time but it's some defensive squad we are building.

It is harsh, but its fair to say it wouldn’t be a surprise if he was injured again at some point this season.

Should be alese not ballard

Plenty did tbf …

… and still doing it with players who the club have just given new contracts.

No he wouldn’t
