Geertruida

[Thunder Road]

Weird one this.

He's a good player but at our best he is a sub.
Can we sign him permanently and then sell him at an instant profit?

Would need to make sure we bring in a CB and a CDM though

 

[Black Cat Gypsy]

Would we have moved for Brobbey on deadline day even if Guiu had stayed? I doubt it
We definitely came out of that one better.

We were chasing the Brobbey all summer.

Unless we have someone ready to come in, this is a bad deal for us.

 

[one footed wonder]

In our last game we had Luke o'nien getting minutes man. That can't be a regular plan.

This is the key for me, players move on it happens but you have to have plans in place to adequately replace them.

Regardless of our excellent step up in the first half of the season we simply can’t exit this window with the choice of o’nien, rigg, hume and Harrison jones as our back up midfield options

As long as we have the replacements lined up it won’t be a problem, fingers crossed

 

[JL1985]

And will get compensated if he does go.

Besides, he doesn’t go if we don’t identify a replacement.

Hopefully we get compensated.

 

[craigypants]

I assume be like the Abraham deal. We buy him then sell him on

That was bizarre. They turned a very fast profit but only because the fee was built into the agreement. Who knows with us and Leipzig.

 

[CraigyLee]

Very unlikely we bring in quality at this stage of the window imo with it being January.

Needs to pull something out the bag to end up weaker will be a shame if no one comes in to replace him

 

[Mowgli]

Can’t disagree with that like but we’ll have to see how it pans out and trust the club to get someone in.

The club will agree regardless. Downie already spouting the won't stand in his way line.

He obviously doesn't want to stay here

 

[SingaporeSteve]

He was perfect to fill in last week and he didnt even get on the pitch. Cant say I blame him if he leaves

Maybe that’s why he didn’t play. If he has hinted he would rather go to Liverpool we have to evolve without him.

 

[Ayrton]

Going to need a centre half and centre mid, hopefully got a few deals lined up

 

[Blyth]

Scale of the opportunity ffs man, theres us paying for his train ticket down aswell.

Suppose it’s knowing your place in the food chain. Something the mags royal fucked up with isak then end up panic buying on forwards.

If we want these high quality, high potential players to choose Sunderland there has to be an understanding if you do well here you could end up at one of the biggest clubs in the world. If we make that hard then we don’t get the likes of sadiki or roefs through the door.

I know this situation is slightly different but it’s the reality of where we are. They’ll use this as an example of what’s possible if you join us.

 

[Roker Mackem]

I assume be like the Abraham deal. We buy him then sell him on

Probably the least likely thing

 

[The Hesk]

He will probably walk straight into Liverpool team at RB aswell with Bradley and Frimpong both injured

 

[FlashGordon]

People are talking about signing him and getting a profit as a comfort blanket and to justify us being fine losing him.

The only thing thats been suggested is they are taking over the loan deal. People just ignoring it.

I don't need a comfort blanket mate because I'm not a child.

Footballer player wants to leave football club. It happens all the time. We'll handle the situation as well as we can like we always do.

I dread to think how people are going to react in the summer when the bids come in for Roefs and Sadiki.

 

[Drexl]

Leaves us short. I’d be disappointed to lose him.

 

[Rivet Catcher]

He was perfect to fill in last week and he didnt even get on the pitch. Cant say I blame him

Probably in talks to leave at that point which may explain his non involvement. With Xhaka out and him leaving, it leaves us very light on quality cover

 

[Liverpool Beachball]

Nailed on to score the winner next Wednesday

 

[LukeJH96]

In our last game we had Luke o'nien getting minutes man. That can't be a regular plan.

If he goes, they will sign a replacement. They aren’t daft.

 

[Roker Mackem]

Going to need a centre half and centre mid, hopefully got a few deals lined up

We dont need a CH

 

[jaraarrow]

Will safc get any sort of fee for him if he goes ?

 

[ac999]

Waste of time going to link up with Slot, he’s not going to last more than 6 months

But he might play and get in the World Cup after that he is up for grabs anyway, from his perspective better than clicking his heels here for the rest of the season.
