No way, this MUST mean that we have someone else coming in surely! God I hope so, would have liked to have seen Fletcher go before him..
Aye me too but I'll settle for Connor just as long as we can get rid of one of the 3 other than Defoe.
good. should be decent money as he has a lengthy contract. not who i was expecting to be moved on first though....must free up some canny wedge in wages
Chris Young @YoungSunEcho 15s16 seconds ago Fee has been agreed with Crystal Palace for Connor Wickham. Not sure on exact amount, but it's hefty #safc Chris Young @YoungSunEcho now Consider Sunderland paid £8m for him... #safc
Bet we got peanuts for him. He is still young and his best years are ahead of him. Think we've lost a good player if he has gone. Hopefully Fletcher will go and Graham and quality with pace and power brought in.
As if we all didn't love Pardew enough already, I reckoned Whickham would be most difficult of all to shift - long contract, high wages, serial underachiever (at least with us). No loss for me, frees up a forward spot and plenty of wages for a replacement more akin to Advocaats way of thinking
Just proves the papers haven't got s clue. I thought he was injured LOL class news and at least we getting our money back. We'll done poyet and hopefully Fletcher and graham are next.
erm poyet? Especially with the James Chester thing, anything less than £8-10m and I'd be disappointed
We paid 8.5m before he'd even kicked a ball in the Premiership. I'd be disappointed too but also relieved we've got rid of one of the 3 amigos.
I for one are not happy with this, it's players in not out that's needed and certainly in before out. I honestly believe this lad could become a very good premiership player.
