Jhon Lucumi - Transfer Rumour


He needs to stay fit though, thankfully his injuries up to now have only been niggles. Hopefully, his knock against Everton wasn't too bad as he limped off
His injuries are due to his build and that he hoys his body on the line. A bit like Jonny Wilkinson
I would think, based on RLB's recent comments, we will only do opportunistic business if someone becomes available at the right price. There is no way we will overpay for someone at this point. I suspect we would rather keep our powder dry for the summer, unless we get quoted a price beneath our valuation. That is a good place to be.
That’s how we signed Mundle and a few others

You were the one to reply first with an issue with what I posted. Sounds like you're easily hurt one.
Are you crying?
He posted a perfectly reasonable opinion. You were the one who seemed to have an issue with it
I disagreed with his opinion, he didn’t like that I’d disagreed with it. He seems a bit of a fanny but I’m sure he can stick up for himself

I can absolutely see us singing another CB to improve our squad depth. As others have said, Nordi should be primarily playing on the right side with hume as backup, which leaves Ballard, Alderete and O'nien as our 3 most capable centre backs, (not including geertruida as we might not sign him permanently). Signing someone like Lucumi would have us with reinildo and cirkin for LB, Alderete and Lucumi competing for LCB, Ballard and O'nien for RCB and Nordi, Hume competing for RB.

Yep fully agree and we also change to a 5 at the back at times. Centre half is needed especially with Ballards injury record

Luke O’Nien plays LCB.

Having watched Lucumi for all of 47mins, I’d be gutted if he was our main signing of this window.
 
Cirkin new deal, bring this lad in, sell Alese Hjelde and Masuaku and our defence looks complete.

LB - Reinildo Cirkin
LCB - Alderete Lucumi
RCB - Ballard Geertruida
RB - Mukiele Hume
Cover - Onien

Tidied

Spend whatever money we have available on a new no2 gk, a right winger & a forward

Our midfield looks ok with Xhaka, Sadiki, Le Fee, Diarra, Rigg, also Geertruida & Hume can play mf
Patterson & Neil clearly aren't going to play so best for everyone if they leave with Hyelde Alese & Masuaku

Phil’s alright dosent bullshit for no reason.

This signing makes zero logical sense for Sunderland anyway.

Why on earth would we spend 25 mill for someone in his late 20s in a position of strength, no chance it happens.
We will see cos only 6 month ago he was our top target and we already had Alderete and Nordi then
