Adingra on loan to Monaco confirmed

Elf won't be shifted from the 10 role after he was in the West Ham debacle. Him and Brobbey were starting to get a good understanding going. Why Le Bris moved him to a defensive role in that game defies logic.

Enzo will be on the left when Xhaka returns

We should get more than our money back for Adingra, we paid a massive amount for him with 1 year left on his deal, on a longer contract he’s worth more simple as, just a shame we havnt seen the best of him, hasn’t been long enough to write him off.

I'm not sure that the length of contract is the primary factor in determining a transfer fee for a footballer. Obviously it is a secondary factor. However, I would suggest that ability, application, effort and performance are of greater importance.

Whilst Adingra certainly has some ability, apart from a purple patch with Brighton a couple of seasons ago, he really hasn't 'kicked on', in terms of his performance and outcomes and certainly not when wearing a Sunderland shirt. In my opinion, his value will have been diminished, rather than enhanced, by virtue of his performances this season. I doubt that we would get anything approaching the that fee we paid for him
 
Don't mind this as long as we have a replacement lined up, mundle isn't up to prem yet. Even if Monaco don't take up the option to buy adingra, we just take him back and either play him or flog him next year.

Same. If we've got an offer that allows us to wash our hands of him and make a few quid I think they'd see that as smart business. Chalk it off as one we got slightly wrong.

With Diarra back now they can shove Le Fee out wide and use him in rotation with Talbi or Mundle. Ride it through to the summer and revisit.

Also we have Ta Bi as well

I mean it’s a small sample size at the moment. Adingra has one assist and one goal I think?

Their xG per 90 is actually identical from what I can see. Adingra currently shades it on xA - but in truth neither of them are doing the business. The clincher for me is that Adingra raises more money and Mundle is homegrown (and will be on a lower wage).

He's not a Le Bris player, so moving him on when he had value is probably something we need to do soon enough.

But are you happy having to use combinations of Mundle, Mayenda and Hume in wide areas? I'm not. Talbi is just a kid learning, moving Le Fee means we are then maxed out centrally etc.

Ous squad just doesn't have the quality or depth right now.

TBH yu add Adingra and it would be the same answer. He is older and had a lot more experience than the rest and lets be honest there isn't that much difference between them. Mundle defends better but slightly worse going forward, but has still time on his side but jury out. Mayenda showed more really but like Adingra defensively just stands and watches, also needs time. Talbi needs time but for me has looked best prospect of all of them. Truthfully Adingra is just a body must admit been disapointed by him. If he stays he will be a bit part player threw on at the odd time. If its only a loan then pointless he might aswell stay (only benefit is keeping his value up if he does OK) but a chance to shift him now for decent money is a win in my eyes.
