Jhon Lucumi - Transfer Rumour

If Bologna do refuse to sell it will be interesting to see who we’ve got as an alternative. I know Le Bris said we’re happy to go with what we’ve got but I suspect they’ve another player or two as options.

We’d be leaving ourselves short at CB if we don’t bring another one in.

They might see how it plays out until Jan
 

It’s all about “respect” is how I read it.
In their head it may well be perceived as:
- If Sunderland had been respectful and matched the release clause, then Bologna would have had time to plan and also respect the player and the clause.
- Now, Sunderland make a late offer and show little respect for Bologna.
- On that basis, a premium will have to be paid.
- No premium, then no transfer.

Let’s see what the end of the window brings…
 
Bizarre. Must only work two day weeks over there. They could have been seeking a replacement upon the first sign of interest. Sounds like a weak excuse on their part and no doubt will upset the player if he has ambitions of leaving.
