Followers? You certainly think you're something you clearly aren't.

Claiming to have a young family but living your life on a Sunderland forum, doesn't get much more weird then making up a pretend family.

You're a typical cowardly mag, all fart and no shite, give it big licks on the internet but no courage to back it up when pressed.

You're a gift, you chomp away on every thread. Fancy telling the forum you mainly post on mag threads when you clearly don't.

Chomp away rat boy, you're so easy

Nice 'chomp' btw. Again. You're so f***ing easy.

Typical reply, can't think of anything new to say so fall into the default of copying what I say.

Plastic mags, they really are a gift.

At least @The Fish does actually attend matches he'd be better changing his name to The Whale to be honest, there's a great link to him on a certain website, if only I could copy and paste that link.....

Not sure you could afford him.

Agreed, you'd be expecting to get back your outlay or even make a profit, too much for us.

Spend what he generated from sales and competitions. It's not clear if "what he generated" includes the money we're getting from the Premier League, or just from the Championship. He's got £30m in his pocket thanks to last Summer's deals. I reckon we'll make another £30m+ this summer by selling the likes of Saivet, De Jong, Hanley, Murphy etc. If we also sell players around the 1st team like Mitrovic, in this market we could get £20m for him alone.

fwiw I'm not saying Mitrovic is the best striker ever, or that his performances would put him in that bracket in previous windows, just that the market is bonkers so what we think a player is "worth" is probably way below his market value.

£20M for Mitro? Have a word.

While you can never predict what someone might pay for a player you'd be mental to go anywhere near that figure. I don't know what the attraction is with him. Should have found goals a lot easier last season but barely bothered keepers some days.

Possibly get a minimal fee for him then.

I'd not be surprised if he just sticks it out. Depends on how motivated he is. Could be on 25k a week for all i know, and have no prospect of earning that elsewhere. I'd certainly look to stick it out and earn another £1.3m

and other days he was bothering 'keepers and defenders all game. He suffers from a common problem. He's already a bit of a cult hero because of his antics/enthusiasm and when he gets praise other portions of the crowd think it's unearned adulation so they go over the top the other way.

He scored 9 in the top flight for a shit team, and scored a goal every 225 minutes, or 1 in 2.6 last season. He's nowhere near as bad as people make out, nor is he as good as the kids want him to be.

He's addressed the biggest problem in his game, his discipline.

£20m for a 22yr old striker in this market isn't ridiculous, because this market is ridiculous already.

I think there'll be a fair few in the same boat who'll be happy to sit it out, money seems more important than playing.
