They are, however we can sell players and use that money. Here lies the problem when fans think “We’re Sunderland were too big for this division we don’t have to sell our players to anyone” but then questioning why are we losing out on several big names linked with the club.. Parachute payments defo help but Leeds have sold £150m+ of players this season, Burnley over £100m.. that’s why they can afford to throw money back in.

Would we be a worse team if Jobe went for £30m and we signed Edwards for £8m and Akpom with a loan fee and obligation upon promotion? Absolutely not. And we’d have money in the bank still.

Are you trying to get me started on my crusade to sell everyone and sign 20 players with the money?:emoticon-0140-rofl:

But aye I agree. Just look at the summer, yes Clarke is a supreme Championship talent but there is no doubt we are better after selling him and using the money.

Would it be ridiculous to suggest I'd prefer Rowe over Edwards?

Where has the Rowe link come from? I thought he was initially on loan at Marseille.

He's a fantastic player, proven at this level, young, English with massive potential. He's the best of all worlds.

If we get Edwards and don't get promoted, then we've already got a problem in the camp next season in my opinion.

There's no "link" exactly but just since Edwards seems to be an unlikely at the moment and Marseille apparently looking to offload him - think just speculation that it's one we should at least enquire about.

Maybe, but I assume the club are expecting Poveda to be Roberts’ competition so would be surprised if we are actively after a winger (not saying they wouldn’t take a punt on someone who became available)

Aye don’t disagree. Be big for us if poveda can make an impact but can’t bank on him at the moment unfortunately

How is it "clear his agent is inviting approaches"?

From what I gather, it's the same club who have approached in 2 different windows.

Even if his agent was doing that, that's his job. He can go into the next contract negotiation and say "This lad is so good that a top Premier League team are interested" and it immediately strengthens the negotiating position. It's just part of the game.

Well they haven’t a resounding ‘happy to stay here’
