Clarke feels unlikely, it's not exactly common for a player to step up to the next level and then to admit defeat and go back to their original team at literally the first opportunity.

A few years between transfers would be the minimum for it to be acceptable for all parties.

I just don't see the finances working.

His value has dipped significantly, they aren't likely to want to take a loss on a young player with potential just yet, and we are not known for overpaying.

I just cannot see it being straight forward.

Should be a busy day today between the window closing and the game (luckily it’s a bank holiday over here wouldn’t get any work done)

Hopefully there’ll be a couple links or maybe a signing by the time I wake up

But forget all that the real question is will we somehow make it to 1000 pages

Whatever it is I'm exactly the same! Know **** all and never will!

In response to your post about people not being patient enough for this model, it baffles me when anyone complains about the way the club is doing things these days. Everything is professionally handled and with a plan. To point we are no longer a joke in the media, other clubs don't see us as a basket case or an easy touch in the transfer market (buying or selling), players don't see us as a retirement home/easy street/piss up!

On top of all that it's the most exciting things have been ever. As could as Reid and Keane years were they were never built on solid foundation like this! And these seems to have huge potential

Large proportions of fans of all clubs are ridiculously entitled to be honest. They want instant success. They expect an owner to come in and throw millions at it - you here arguments like "if they're not willing to lose money, they shouldn't have got into football" etc. If they don't spend more in every transfer window than they makes they'll be accused of stealing from the club. If they spend more and make a loss, they'll be expected to write it off. If they come in, spend millions, achieve great success, it's still not "their club", it's "our club" and they're fortunate to be a custodian. As soon as that success isn't sustained they'll be expected to walk away and take whatever deal is best for the club.

That type of fan will never be satisfied because they're always looking outside at what everyone else has... And there will always be someone more successful. Far better to live in the present and appreciate what we have right now.

Dodds gone, player loan place freed up.

Player coach inbound?

please dont, we have this every year.

“couldn’t do much worse that signing [insert previous Sunderland player coming to the end of his career] as a player/coach”
 
If the options are between that NDiaye and Danns then I’m taking NDiaye unless danns has a clause to buy him in with the loan.

no doubt that Danns has something about him but i think we are moving away from developing other players for elite clubs unless we have that clause to take then off their hands, also can’t see Liverpool letting him come here as he mos fluidly won’t get the game time that they’d want.
