We'll have to agree to disagree. My understanding is we're covering his wages as per Fabrizio's twatterings. It would be worth getting him in now for £4m, rather than inflated figure when he's gone back to Russia, costs amortised over his contract. also gives that extra loan slot to get Messi in this month (that was a joke)

we can agree to disagree on the ELF point.

regarding Isidor, I’m sure we’ll have until end of May to trigger the permanent deal at 4m euro. So there’s no risk of it being inflated if we wait until end of season.

I also think people may end up disappointed if they think the ELF loan suddenly means we’re offering high salaries. I just don’t see it. It’s against what the club have been trying to achieve.

plus if our wage budget was suddenly much higher I’m sure Dan Neil would have extended his contract.

This is why I don’t think we’ll sign Tom Cannon

on one hand, being a premier league club with players that are championship quality is a nice problem to have. It would be great to be a premier league club and we need to strengthen to get there.

on the other hand, our whole model has been about long term sustainability. And signing players onto long term deals who won’t be able to do the journey with us, is against what this “model” is all about.

so I think a player like Frigan is more likely. Although I’m not convinced it’s Frigan just because Graham Falk and Fishpaste have both heard we’re interested (they may have heard from the same wrong source, or even from each other)

I don’t think it will be Cannon if it’s true about Sheffield simply because we focus on good value and won’t get into a bidding war with a parachute club

I have seen Cannon 3 times recently, I dont see why we would be throwing £8 million at this player, I would rather we pick up a younger more skillfull player, who can develop. (I dont know who)

But if Regis wants him, go get him

Younger than 22? Cannon is young and can still develop.

I wasn't sold on him but think he's given O'Nien a tough time in the games we've played against them recently. But I wouldn't be spending £8-10m on him though. There'll be better value out there.

I dont rate him, he is an old fashioned centre forward, he is physical, but apart from that, what else?, for that price I want more, as I said before, no idea who

I rate him to a point, physical striker who will get goals. It's not to be sniffed at.

But yeah definitely for the prices being talked about I would be looking elsewhere. This cheaper unknown to us goal machine has to exist right? :emoticon-0102-bigsm

Given Sunderland's history over transfers, it will probably someone we haven't heard of. I imagine our recruitment team must look at forums like this and p iss themselves laughing at us giving opinion on targets they are not looking at.. I'm as guilty as anyone for that

I'm with you....it will be someone totally out of the blue.

Been told it is a loan to buy deal we’re trying for. Similar to le fee. Option if we don’t go up obligation if we do


One positive is RLB signs off every signing now, he said so himself, so if RLB thinks he suits us along with his reputation, I’m happy
Click to expand...
Apparently the club aren’t against a perm and are trying for that


I wonder if they now want to use the loan spot on someone else if possible? Might also make it cheaper for us to buy him now

id personally be happier with this

this is for Frigan if not clear
