Jhon Lucumi - Transfer Rumour

Absolutely. All of the rest of the good work we've done will be rendered irrelevant if we don't strengthen at the back.

At the moment the strongest back 5 we can field is:

Moore
Hume
Ballard
Seelt
Huggins

That's so far from Premier League standard it's scary - we would lose every game every time.

We are "hopeful" Patterson and Reinildo will be ready for the first game which improves things a bit, but it just shows how light we are.

Of course the club are aware of this and are working on it it - but only two and a half weeks left.

We are hopeful reinaldo is ready for tonight tbf. Which does improve things.

Thing is, when you're in the championship you can afford to wait until the end of the window and miss a few games out. In this league we need to be at it from the the first game. Every point will be invaluable.
 
Last week, Il Resto del Carlino reported the Black Cats’ latest offer for the Colombian met the player’s valuation of €25m, but the Rossoblu had raised their asking price to €28m. Bologna can be awkward with transfers so this wasn’t a huge surprise.

Now it appears Sunderland’s chances have been dashed.

Il Resto del Carlino, relayed by 1000CuoriRossoblu, report the 27-year-old is not for sale anymore, and that’s because Ndoye is going to Nottingham Forest.

The report states: ‘The club had built a wall: between the Swiss and the Colombian, only one of the two will leave the city. Well, yesterday it was confirmed that the match winner of the Coppa Italia final will leave Bologna, while the central defender remains locked in Bologna.’
Report from Italy^ they not selling him now according to this.

Like Leverkusen weren’t selling Xhaka last week. Money talks and BS walks.

They sold the other guy weeks ago. Entering final year of contract, and he’s said he’s not signing another. They’ll sell.
 
They realistically have to sell or will lose a £25m asset for nothing next summer or less than half that price in 6 months time.

Whether it's to us or not, who knows, but he won't be there come the end of the window.
Yeah I can see why they'd want this message getting out to extract more money from a buyer but, fundamentally, if somebody bids (guesswork) 25-30m he'll go.

Particularly if the rumours are true and they're already signing replacements from Belgium
