Summer transfer thread

His age bothered me as much as a player being handing a role on the board. All wrong!

 

I honestly believe there is some truth in this, I think he has left him out as he was less fitted to what he wanted and the rough and tumble of this league. I wouldn't be surprised to see him become essential to how he sets us up next season!

 

I am a big fan of young Dan Neil and I have to believe AN will make the best of him...

But just as wingers have to learn to defend and/or be wing backs, so does Neil as a midfielder, just as Thiago at L'pool does.

Hopefully AN will nurture him, his passing is great just what Stewart and Broadhead needs.

 

Imo 60/40 of him leaving. However, Championship football could see him stay

 

If he goes, it's got to be for big money, 20m plus.

 

Probably about right for an English Championship player. Hope he stays and I'm putting 2 n 2 together.

 

The lad is a massive sunderland fan, he’ll not want to leave and I doubt the club want him to leave.

Im predicting he’ll be here next season and will have a big impact.

 

Jack Diamond's had a good season down at Harrogate too. What do we do with him? Bring him into the squad for cup games etc, or a loan out to a League One side next season?

 

Just occurred to me, wouldn’t want to start any rumours but with all these photos we’ve seen and now I’ve rewatched the footage from sky - did anybody see Speakman there?!? Is he gone?!?

 

Good point, I didn't see him on any pics. Just KLD, his mam and Sartori. Some said Donald was there but not seen any pics of that twat either.
I was expecting to see Ellis Short there tbh, always thought he kept a box going.

Sell

We need (IMHO)

Goalkeeper
Right Back (send Hume out on loan)
Left Back
Centre Half
Physical Central midfielder
3 wingers
2 strikers, 1 who is a viable alternative to Stewart

Do we look at bringing Sanderson back?
Would Hoffmann sign as a no.2?
Any players we could take from Derby (who would have been comfortably mid-table without the points deduction)
Burnley are in financial trouble, they may be ripe for the picking....


Whatever happens, exciting times ahead.......

 

He was there, tweeted a pic before the match

 

Kane Wilson at Forest Green hasn’t committed to a new contract yet. Good right back. Fits our model.

 

We'd not get £3 million for him at the mo.

 

For Dan Neil?? I agree we wouldn't get 3m, we would get about 20m+

 

Not many teams would be willing to pay £20 million+ for a player who couldn't get into a league 1 side for half a season. If they did I would take their hands off.

 

Not many teams at what level? We've got a couple of 10m players for us in L1. 20m is absolutely nothing at PL level.

 

Few posts over the road suggesting jobe Bellingham will be joining, Jude was there yesterday could just be putting 2+2 together with speakmans Birmingham links?

 

There was a few pictures of him with speakman a week or so ago. No idea if he is any good apart from his surname.

 

No way we would get £20m for Neil right now. We’d need him to have had a year in the championship to get that.
