You say you dont want to upset the 'club can do no wrong brigade' but all that has happened is a journalist has said that boro are favorites to sign him- nothing has been confirmed in relation to amad. So why would anyone slag the club on something that is currently a rumour

As you said lets wait and see what happens rather than folk just believing everything they read online

No I want to be angry nothing else is happening! :emoticon-0102-bigsm

We can only go off whatever’s doing the rounds and whilst Nixon talks out of his arse at times he does get other stuff right. 2 weeks into the window and we heard KS on numerous occasions say they’d love Diallo back yet where’s the urgency? He was confirmed as not going to AFCON at the start of the window.

The only saving grace I’m taking from this is that we paid his wage last season so why wouldn’t we this.

If Amad doesn't come here it might be nothing to do with the club not wanting to spend the money. They might just not be interested in signing him.

I’d love to see who we’ve got lined up if we’re too good for both Carvalho and Diallo mind!

Bobby Firminho would be nice :emoticon-0102-bigsm

FWIW I don't for one second believe Amad is desperate to come back here. He'll go where he thinks his game is best suited. If Mowbray was still in charge that may well have been here. He may think playing under Carrick is better for his development than coming here again.

For some reason lots of our fans have almost expected he'd come back here to the point its outrageous he doesn't.

Carrick or Beale? It’s an absolute no brainer. <doh>

Well aye indeed.

I'd go as far as saying that if us and Boro both had bids accepted, he may choose them anyway.

This idea that he only wants to play for Sunderland has been created by us Sunderland fans and a few throwaway instagram emojis

Same old accusations of not offering good or competitive wages are creeping out again so answer me this, why did Neil, Cirkin, Hume, Roberts, Patterson, Ballard all sign new contracts since we've been promoted? All of them would have a queue of clubs after them yet they chose to commit their future to here, so surely the wages must be competitive. But I guess that doesn't fit the current narrative does it.

I’m not sure of where this idea that people think he should only come back here originate from I’ve not seen them but just thinking logically why would he rather go to a team around us than come back to the club he’s already got a relationship with just a few months ago? He knows the players here and made plenty of references to his time here after he left. He’ll fit straight back in.

If it was to go and play every week for Southampton and win the league fair enough but it’s not.

What were they on before though? Hume was on about £500 a week. They’re all players, bar Roberts, who had years left on their contracts so why wouldn’t they accept a payrise they can’t leave anyway.

Do we need another 10? The club may well not think so.

Arguably the best F9 in the world for a period at Liverpool about 5 years ago. Obviously there’s absolutely no chance of us signing him but playing him up top would be exactly the kind of player we need. Intelligence, dropping deep to link up the play.

Yeah. Obviously. But I was referring to Amad and Carvalho.
 
Southern A said:
Worth pointing out that Amad has just had a long term injury and hasn’t proven he’s fit yet.

As Southampton have found out with Rossco, spending big on a player coming back from injury doesn’t always work out.

anybody taking him on a 4 month loan deal is also taking on the risk of him breaking down again. And potentially being lumbered with an expensive injured player

He’s played 36 mins of football in 6 months

How do you know what he was on or any of the wages we offer? If you are going to cite ****ing capology let me tell you that the club I work for is on there and they are so wrong it's laughable.

Personally I’d drop one of the one of the midfielders for either of them at the drop of an hat and have a proper 10 on the pitch. That’s one problem solved. Signing a striker isn’t going to magically make us a better team we still have a midfield that’s very samey with no specialised 10 or 6.

He was signed from the Irish league as an 18 year old. You think he was on £10k a week?
