Yann M'vila - target or not?

[Sons of The Wear]

Yam is on a totally different (higher) level than anything on our books right now. Be an absolute dream signing. His attitude in the dressing room would be immense and the French players would be thinking “whoa, bad motherfucker let’s go….”.

Great footballer and I would have been very happy to sign him as an Evans upgrade but I genuinely think Neil, Ekwah and Jobe would be ahead of him so he’d need to accept very reasonable wages. I think Evans will go in January if he’s fit enough and wouldn’t be surprised if Embleton and Matete did too so I’d expect at least one midfielder to come in.

Ahead of him?

 

[Ale taster]

I do think a quality old head in midfield is what this team is missing right now.
This would be a monumental coup if it were to happen.

 

[houghton cut head]

Mvilla is nowt like evans evans just sits and Mvilla runs all over tacking people

Evans isn’t, and never has been, in the same league as Yann.

 

[Scotcat]

Exactly the type of player we need, experienced, knows the club, fans favourite, but I think wage demands mean this sadly won't happen.

 

[Sons of The Wear]

This should be stepped up as a campaign.
‘Yann for Sunderland’..we’re not stopping until he’s back!”….
Seriously, his arrival would be absolutely massive.

He’s 33 and hasn’t played for months. He was a better footballer than anyone we have currently are but it’s far from certain he still would be.

Our French midfielder

Was class but he was on 30ka week his last contract in Greece no way he’s signing here for 10k a week.

We could not even afford Forshaw who chose Norwich for more money.

Plus not sure how match fit he would be so reckon it’s a bit of click bait media story

Bloody hell bet your fun at parties

 

[admwil]

I’d be miffed if he ended up at WBA

The cult of M'Villa

 

[Richie K]

Would love him here, exactly what we need right now to get some control in the middle of the park.

 

[arthursboy]

So those wanting him here, who would you drop?
I’d be amazed if he came here, it’s not our game plan now to sign end of career players and if he’s not fit he’d take at least 4 months to get fit.
Class player for us, but I’m one to believe never to let players come back.

He was playing champions league football last season man. He’s far better than them
Three currently.

No one would be dropped we’d rotate players, Bellingham can’t play every game this season or he’ll burn himself out

As it stands we only have 2 players in the squad who are holding midfielders(I’m not including Evans who probably won’t be match fit for months). I don’t want to see them flogged to death having to play every game, and then there’s injuries.
4 months to get match fit? Really?

 

[Old Timer]

So is there any substance to the talk of him coming back, or is this just something to fill the space left by the international break?

I'd play an inverted triangle, deepest position would choose between Yann, Neil and Pierre with the two positions infront adding Adil, Rigg and Jobe to equation and subtracting Yann. 6 for 3 positions, perfect.

So is there any substance to the talk of him coming back, or is this just something to fill the space left by the international break?

No, it was just possible in the summer I think.

Loads going on about MVila I bet 99% haven’t seen him play in 7yr ffs
