With few players on Wearside being in form last season, Sunderland should cash in on their loan players who hit form. One such player is Senegalese defender Papy Djilobodji. The 29-year old had an impressive season on loan at Djion and could now fetch a pretty penny.

Djilobodji struggled for Sunderland in the Premier League. While he had impressive stats of 9.7 clearances and 3 interceptions per game, this was due to the siege-like nature of life in the Sunderland defence that season. In light of this, his stats at mid-table Dijon this season of 6.7 clearances and 2.4 interceptions per game are as impressive. Indeed, his passing percentage rose from 72% to 79.4%. This uptick in form was even rewarded with a return to the Senegal national side
It is easier for Djilobodji to be moved out on loan than to sell him. This is because clubs know that Sunderland will not be able to offer high earning players new contracts. Consequently, many are waiting for the contracts to tick down until they can pick up players for free.

Particularly in the case of Djilobodji, this cannot be an option. The Senegalese defender was brought in for £8 million in 2016. The club cannot afford to simply write that off. It may be that they have to turn down loan offers to try to wring out a cash offer, knowing that they cannot afford for him to stay at the Stadium of Light. Such a risk would be worth it if it resulted in easing their cash worries.
What the hell does he think we are trying to do
We want rid

Let’s hope he doesn’t drop any massive bollocks playing for Senegal.

If he plays tomorrow, it’s against the most xo sostent striker on the planet, Mr Lewandowski.

We've accepted a bid of over £5m from Boro for McNair.

Tidy business in my opinion.

Good fee and hopefully it will get the ball rolling on incomings

I thought we had knocked back an alleged £6 mill bid from Brighton. Why would we then accept a £5 mil bid? Strange.

Yeh maybe that’s the way we will be dealing now

I hope not. Donald did say we'll have a good budget for the league and he didn't make it sound like it was dependant on sales.

We need over half a squad of players and if they're all freebies we'll be in league one for the foreseeable.

But getting a player who knows where the goal is on a freebie is good business whichever way you cut the cake.

Yeah a few is fine and this lad sounds good but if that's the policy to fill out the whole squad we'll be in trouble. Same policy as last season.

I don't think its a continuation of old policy mate. Certainly not after what the new owner said in his first day or so.

But yes, a few like this, if we do get him, is good business.

Not a major statement of intent, just good business from our new manager.

Yeah you're probably right I'm just getting the usual impatience when everything doesn't happen at an unrealistic speed haha.
 
I read it that this St Mirren striker was only on a 1 year deal. He has refused to sign a new deal and I assume that was because we were interested and he would rather join us. Technically he is out of contract but that was because he chose not to sign again with them. So its not just a case of signing any old bugger on a free. St Mirren wanted to keep him. Could be totally wrong like. Good scoring record though.
