The longer this drags on the less chance we have.

If he is coming, I reckon Dick has already convinced him to do so and things are being sorted out.

That my thoughts exactly thou generally contracts finish end of June. Maybe an announcement early July on the cards.

It's not looking as hopeful if the reports from last night are true, but I reckon you're right in that we'll recognise the need to move quickly if the lad does give us any encouragement.
 
Prehab seemed to know a few things before others and he said there is a bid.

I also said that if its not successful you will see a very quick turn around in how our lot deal with it. I believe this has happened. People with contacts were so certain that that the bid was in and under considerations and strangely now contradict their own articles. My guess is that it simply was either a rejection from the club or the players agent. That is why downplaying from bid to interest to no bid is the party line today.

As I said, happened with many other players. Just the way it's working with us now.
 
Bring him.....

On a serious note, havent seen the lad play but reports suggest there are a few suitors. I just hope if we can push this one over the line, a few more may follow

I hate it when media make transfer dealings public knowledge. I just hope between Lee and Dick we have a few quiet ones going on that the media arent aware of

However, due to contracts, I expect a lot of things to start happening July 1st
 
Are the echo "journalists" mag fans?

The article goes along the lines of saying we aren't interested, there's been no bid but we are interested in OTHER Dutch players?

Then finishes off nicely stating that Newcastle are interested?

A) how do they know we aren't interested?
B) how do they know the black and white bastards are interested?
C) who are these Dutch targets then? Haway echo, surely you know so much why can't you share some info?
D) why mention Newcastle at all when the paper is called the SUNDERLAND ECHO.
E) Bellends.

Would be nice to get a big signing over the line to show potential targets that we mean business.

It would mate. Hopefully the club can do what they have with other signings recently. Out of the blue and all behind the scenes. I don't doubt the info I received yday. Not one bit. Not even surprised at the huge u turn made by the local papers etc.
 
Bid--> No bid but definite interest--> No interest at all--> No one actually no knows anything

All this in 24 hrs.

I hate these transfer windows...

20 years ago we rushed to the papershop to trawl for a comment by Paul Hetherington!! The internet and social media gives countless platforms for no nowts and conjencture, best just to ignore all snippets until there's conclusive proof to save the old blood pressure!!
