Summer transfer rumours

I reckon all the out of contracts have agents that are looking for big fees as the club says. At some point somebody buckles. Either we get desperate and pay the fees we want. Or the players get cold feet about not having a club for pre-season and put pressure on the agents.

We just have to hope that no other clubs buckle before the players and agents do.

 

One positive thing is that in this Twitter chain Nixon has said that Donald, Methven and Sartori don’t have an influence in regards to budgets etc, but I wonder if this self imposed tight budget is to do with all the out of contract players, seems this is the biggest summer there’s been for players being available on a free

 

Just a joke that marra

 

Imagine if KLD was so rich he genuinely could just pay for a tornado to collect and drop off our players

 

Be worse ways to travel

 

it would be ****ing terrifying

 

Excellent post imo.

 

Has anyone heard anything regarding Sanderson.

If ever a player was a great fit for us it’s him.

No waiting to gel and a known excellent player.

If Wolves want 2 million we should bite their hands off. He will sell on for much more if the time comes.

We conceded hardly any goals when he played and our fall in form coincided with his injury. We would have been automatically promoted had he kept fit, I’m sure of that.

It’s no gamble at all. We should go all out to get him.
I think he likes it here. Is he just waiting at Wolves for something to happen.
There’s no downside and 2 million is nowt to KLD.

(Now somebody is going to tell me he’s signed for someone else)

 

I think that one is another "be patient" one. He's out of contract next summer so Wolves will want to sell this summer but may not be until the final week, if I were going to guess.

That said we'd be in a queue with about 20 other clubs at this price.

 

I’m disappointed we’ve not made an immediate impact in the market. I know we have to be patient but if our owner is a loaded as stated, what’s an extra 50k here and there to get new players in. Feels like we won’t have a team assembled until after the season has started, potentially meaning we drop points. Then end of the season, every game gets tagged with the importance of a cup final and must win games. Hopefully a couple are in within the next week.

 

Firstly, I don't believe for a second that KLD has come here to throw his money around, certainly not in League One anyway - not sure where you get the "50k" from, but I very much doubt any deals are being held up over that sort of money. The season is 4 weeks away and like it or not, we have the core of our squad already. We need to strengthen in some areas (full back, centre half) but it feels as though the intention is to (finally) use the academy - players such as Patterson, Younger, Almond, Dyce, Neil, Embleton, Diamond, Hawkes, (Ellis) Taylor and Kimpioka will be part of the first team squad this season - and it's not before time. There's no point having a Cat 1 Academy if you don't use it in League 1

 

No, it was Wolfy who said that.

 

It’s 0.01% of his wealth which wii be back in interest by Monday

 

I’d be shocked if Sanderson wasn’t playing championship football next season.

 

I think if we go into the new season with this squad KLD will see the side of Sunderland fans he won’t enjoy.

 

I see where your coming from but WE HAVE NO DEFENDERS!

 

So this Pritchard... New signing...any good...midfielder...defensive?

 

Indeed

 

And rightly so! We’ll obviously sign players but there’s loads of work to do.
