Sunderland target QPR midfielder Sandro Graeme Bailey @graemebailey HITC Sport understands that the Brazilian is wanted by Sam Allardyce. Embed from Getty Images Sunderland have made a move to sign Queens Park Rangers midfielder Sandro, HITC Sport understands. The 26-year-old Brazilian joined QPR from Tottenham Hotspur in 2014 for a transfer fee worth £10 million, as reported by The Daily Mail. Sandro failed to help keep QPR in the Premier League and since their relegation he has been looking to move back to the English top flight. Now Sunderland manager Sam Allardyce has highlighted Sandro as one of the number of signings he wants to make in the January transfer window. QPR are open to the prospect of Sandro leaving given he is one of their highest earners, and they would be able to utilise the money elsewhere and give new boss Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink more flexibility to re-work his squad. Sunderland hope that Sandro will be one of a handful of new signings within the next week as they have already agreed one deal for Lorient's Lamine Kone. The Ivory Coast international defender is expected on Wearside soon to put the finishing touches to a move to the Stadium of Light,
Never has a player's nickname been more ludicrous, 'The Beast'... A Brazilian on the North-East coast in January, perfect...
In his 16 months with the club, I'd conservatively estimate he's made £3m, so over £100k per appearance.
If we could get a few bob back on him, I would say go for it. Was amazed how we got most of our investment back on Chris Samba, although that transaction might have been some sort of Russian money laundering scheme.
Sunderland are welcome to him. He kicks people a lot and is injured a lot, apart from that he has done very little for us. Maybe we can start a fund to pay his first class train fare to Sunderland?
