He’s got a year left on his contract, he’s told them he’s not resigning. They’ll sell or they lose a significant amount to sell him in Jan.

The Situation
Striker
They won't be desperate for cash but they're not going to see £25-£30m turn to zero in 12 months time, or less than half that in 6 months time either.
Whether he comes to us or not, who knows, but I'd be astonished if he's still at Bologna come the end of the summer window.

It works both ways.
If theyve decided to sell him, or he wants to go , they will be taking about replacements.
If they wait too long its not great for them either
Me too - so they won't want to drag a sale out.
They'll have players in mind to replace him with

I think we’ll get him in, unless a bigger club European comes in obviously, but Italian clubs love f***ing about with negotiating.
My concern is just we need the time to bed these players together. As they’re playing like complete strangers at the moment, and half the team is due to change again anyway.

No idea who from but they were flush. Nobody is unbuyable it just depends how sensible your owners are
The two Spanish clubs linked won’t be interested aswell
That’s just agent trying to drum up interest. It’s happening.

If we get this one over the line then I expect the likes of Ballard & O'nien to step up when required.
I think either of them could thrive playing alongside Lucumi with the likes of Xhaka and Diarra in front of them.

I might be alone in this but I still think Alese has a chance. When fit (yes I know) he is perhaps our best CB and also a decent LB.

Yeah, should be fit eventually.

I hope you are correct but I've not seen enough of him personally to pass judgement. I just don't know with him either way.

I thought he looked good at the start of the season. His pace helps the forward like press high

He's a tremendous asset to the team when fit. He's fast, aggressive, good on the ball.....The problem is he's never managed more than a handful of games in a row before getting injured....Less games in the Prem will be a bonus but he has to get fit and stay fit or doesn't matter how good he is. Great lad too so be gutted if he can't sort these issues out.

Hes played like 40 games for us, man. Surely we can all have some view on Alese.

Jhon Lucumi Transfer News
After Sunderland submitted a formal offer for Jhon Lucumi, offshore sportsbooks have trimmed the odds on Bologna to finish in the top four this season. Such is the importance of Lucumi to the Coppa Italia winners.
The Mackems lead the way for Lucumi’s signature but will face competition for the Colombian centre-back. The likes of Milan, Roma and Napoli are all keeping tabs on the 27-year-old.
So to are a host of other Premier League sides. Man United, Tottenham, Aston Villa, Bournemouth and Brentford are just some of England’s elite clubs keeping a watchful eye over Lucumi.
How Much Have Sunderland Bid For Jhon Lucumi?
Although Jhon Lucumi’s release clause has expired, Sunderland firmly believes they can get their man. Lucumi was available for €28million.
However, the Black Cats have sent an opening bid of €25m. That is according to a report on July 31 from Gazzetta dello Sport. The Italian publication also said that Villarreal and Atletico Madrid are lining up bids.
Regis Le Bris men have signed seven new players already this summer. The latest acquisition was Granit Xhaka though defensive reinforcements are now the priority.

It's gonna be very very hard to get this one over the line if them teams mentioned really are interested. The only thing is if we move quickly. He can sign a pre contract abroad in January so they will sell if be doesn't sign . I'd love to get him

From that it would seem we are the only club to have lodged a formal bid. I'm sure we had approached the player a while back re wages etc.
