Jhon Lucumi - Transfer Rumour

To me it's becoming abundantly clear what the 10 year plan is; and under KLD the club putting the people and structures in place to achieve it. While this season and maybe the next it's going to be about survival first, and hopefully a decent mid-table finish, I think inside 5 years SAFC will be playing Champions League football and within 10 years, Sunderland will win the Premier League.

Keep grounded....one game at a time :lol:
 
We are now in territory of buiding a great squad not just first 11. Mix of experience and youth who are hungry and see us as a good step too going to a top 4 premier league team in the future for mega money. What ever this ambitious project is they are telling all these players we are in for one hell of a ride. Quinn’s magic carpet must have been found in an old dusty cupboard during the refurb!

Lucumi was given the grand tour of the club facilities on Friday after all. Was in and out after a few hours. How this was achieved is not clear after the cancelled private flight in the morning. Possible it was by commercial means (BA, KLM etc.) or by road from another airport. Club being very discreet over this particular one.
Anyway, the interest now being widely reported.

Thanks @Mowgli, appreciated but really no need.

No reason to doubt you

But if he played on Saturday and no deal is agreed is this not tapping up? Surely there’s no green light for him to pop over and have a look around

Still can’t see Alderete and Lucumi playing together as both seem quite used to playing LCB.

So seems odd. Would have thought a RCB was more likely.

I thought when we signed Alderete, that he would be the LCB. With Reinildo offering cover there if needed. With Masuaku or Cirkin coming in to cover LB. We have good options at RCB/RB with the lad from PSG coming in. We are well covered across the back 4 as we are. At the end of last season one area I wanted the club to sort was the Cirkin/Huggins/Alese thing. I ll throw Hjelde into the mix aswell. Wasn’t expecting to be in a position where all 4 may now be surplus to requirements. 09 will be lucky to get on the bench at this rate.

Read the other day that the “green” is homage to the Tyne bridge and not the owners
