right winger too, which is the position I feel is ultimate importance to us today, promising.

100% be a canny fee so good chance to get a bit of a statement signing youd think

Danns all but confirmed, linked loosely to armstrong and watson off to brighton

 

[Millfield Maestro 1879]

Must have a winger lined up if Watson is away. Money to spend too, though might be a bit late in the window to spend it maybe

 

[SourPatch2]

Just a shot in the dark here but I reckon the Watson fee will be something like £10m upfront, £5m addons and a hefty sell on %.

Yep. We clearly valued him higher and there is a will for him to go, from the players end.

Hope we’ve Absolutley rinsed Brighton - Watson is a good prospect but still has a lot to learn and not sure how much he’ll play at Brighton but good luck to the lad

I asked ChatGPT to tell me who we should sign and who we should sell. Interesting....

My prompt - Its football transfer deadline day. I want you to act like an expert in football transfers and available players. Tell me what the areas Sunderland Association Football Club should strengthen. Which players should they sign and who should they sell. You can choose 3 players to sign and 3 players to sell. For each one, explain the reason

The response

As an expert in football transfers, analyzing Sunderland AFC’s current squad and performance in the Championship, it’s evident that strategic adjustments could enhance their promotion prospects. The team has shown promise, but certain areas require reinforcement, while some players might be better utilized elsewhere.



Areas to Strengthen:

1.Central Defense: While Sunderland’s defense has been relatively solid, adding depth and experience could fortify the backline, especially during the demanding final stretch of the season.

2.Attacking Midfield: Enhancing creativity in the midfield can lead to more goal-scoring opportunities, reducing the reliance on current forwards.

3.Striker Position: Despite recent signings, an additional proven goal-scorer would provide valuable competition and cover, ensuring sustained offensive threat.



Recommended Signings:

1.Cameron Archer (Striker): Currently at Aston Villa, Archer has demonstrated potential but faces limited first-team opportunities. A move to Sunderland could offer him regular playtime, bolstering the team’s attacking options.

2.Harvey Vale (Attacking Midfielder): A Chelsea academy graduate, Vale is seeking more first-team experience. His versatility and creativity could enhance Sunderland’s midfield dynamics.

3.Experienced Central Defender: Targeting a seasoned defender from a higher league or an international player with Championship experience could provide leadership and stability at the back.



Suggested Departures:

1.Tommy Watson (Winger): Attracting interest from Premier League clubs, Watson’s departure could generate significant funds for reinvestment. Given the depth in wide positions, Sunderland might consider capitalizing on this opportunity.

2.Eliezer Mayenda (Forward): Despite his potential, Mayenda has struggled for consistent impact. A loan move could offer him valuable experience and development time.

3.Ahmed Abdullahi (Striker): With limited first-team appearances, Abdullahi might benefit from a transfer where he can secure regular playtime, allowing Sunderland to free up squad space and wages.



By focusing on these strategic signings and departures, Sunderland can strengthen key areas, maintain squad balance, and enhance their push for Premier League promotion.

Lets hope this is the sort of AI advice that Sheffield United are getting!

Off topic, but what an absolute con all this genAI stuff is. The absolute epitome of **** in **** out.

yep been saying that since it came about

 

[Southern A]

Just a shot in the dark here but I reckon the Watson fee will be something like £10m upfront, £5m addons and a hefty sell on %.

would be really impressed that we've managed to extract that. Brilliant from Speakman.

Obviously preference would be to keep him but if no contract is likely this is the best option

 

[Wibble]

right winger too, which is the position I feel is ultimate importance to us today, promising.

We may go back with the Watson money and get a couple of players

Very good deal for a lad who seemingly doesn't want to be here or sign a new contract.

Hoping for two in today after that but can imagine it is just the one winger.

 

[Dave_39]

club must be confident of a winger if gave Watson permisson to travel to Brighton

 

[Prehab26]

yep been saying that since it came about

Yeah we have.

 

[Rade Prica]

Think we must have one ready

 

[Hudson92]

Yep. We clearly valued him higher and there is a will for him to go, from the players end.

I’ve got no issue with players going if they don’t want to be here just wish it had been a week ago to give us more time to reinvest it
