Winter transfer window

Sunderland have made a dramatic late bid to sign Tom Cannon from Leicester City - and are offering MORE than rivals Sheffield United.
The Black Cats are prepared to buy Cannon at the end of his loan period if they are promoted and pay a stunning £13 million in a down payment plus extras.
Blades hoped that £7 million guaranteed on going up would do the job but Sunderland’s numbers have changed the picture.
Cannon is waiting on Leicester accepting a fee and pulling him out of the Stoke City loan.
Sunderland have been trying loan to buy deals for several players. But the extras on top come as a shock to all sides.

I suppose it is possible but I don't think I've ever believed anything less than us practically doubling Sheff Utd's offer.

 

[CR17]

Unreal really. RLB must really rate him

 

[Southern A]

I trust the club.

one thing you’ve got to say is we’re going for it. Fair ****ing play

 

[TopCat.]

I haven't a clue but central midfielders at fullback...

Colback, Winchester...

Dan Neil
Dean Whitehead
Liam Bridcutt (v Southampton 0-8)

 

[SISAO33]

I was thinking he wasn’t what we need


But if RLB really likes him this much we have to trust them.


Let’s hope he does the business. I’m glad the owners are trying to back the manager when we have the best chances of going up


Haway the lads

Or hes a decent player and still young but £13 million is ridiculous, thats if its even true

 

[MadMackem77]

Two things to say

1) I know it’s Nixon but he evidently has a source for Tom cannon, has been good reporting on him for a couple years

2) the add ons will be a big chuck of the 13 million, so we shouldn’t worry as most of them will only come if he does the business. Likely 7/8/9 million plus add ons imo, which is a very fair price

 

[Vincemac]

It’s Nixon man
I take no notice of his useless comments
He will be talking about some one different later

Alan Nixon talks utter ****e. Just a clickbait merchant

 

[MadMackem77]

Or hes a decent player and still young but £13 million is ridiculous, thats if its even true

That’s including add ons

 

[Southern A]

That’s including add ons

Nixon says £13m PLUS add ons

 

[ab65]

Quite shocked that some are turning their noses up at Brereton Diaz and Tom Cannon like

Who do we think we are? Isidor, Mayenda, Connolly and Rusyn as our senior options…

I can get the view that many others have about Diaz and Cannon. I’m not a particular fan of either of them to be honest.

What seals it for me though is if it’s true that Diaz only wants to go to Sheffield Utd and that Cannon has turned us down previously.

Team spirit is very important and we have a good group here. I’d hate to risk that for the sake of lads who don’t want to be here.

 

[SISAO33]

That’s including add ons

£13 million down payment plus add ons he said

surely cant be right

 

[Southern A]

Couple of points from me

1. it’s Nixon. Caution.
2. Even if cannon gets recalled doesn’t mean our deal is done. Leicester could keep playing us off Sheff Utd

 

[MadMackem77]

Nixon says £13m PLUS add ons

£13 million down payment plus add ons he said

surely cant be right

I read it as, it’s 13 million structured with a down payment and add ONS, because later he says the add ons shocked everyone

 

[Southern A]

I read it as, it’s 13 million structured with a down payment and add ONS, because later he says the add ons shocked everyone

well yeh they certainly would if the down payment was £13m.

Well that sounds so absolutely ****ing stupid that I can’t possibly believe it’s true.

i read it same way £13m that including the add ons if we promoted time will tell

 

[Hudson92]

Fine to trust the club they’ve earned it, it’s big money if it’s true but it’s not my money so I can’t tell them how to spend it, still not convinced it is true but would definitely improve our options

 

[Southern A]

If the £13m is true it’s at least an indication of our spending power under this regime upon promotion.

Haway the lads

My thoughts are the same, if Reggie wants him, go get him
