Poveda


Mad how recently we've been so careful and considerate with contracts fees sales etc then we hoy this fcuker a lotto win
It’s at odds with our usually excellent recruitment. On paper Poveda ticked a lot of boxes, however l think the club soon realised that it’s an attitude issue, rather than someone who had a hunger to play and improve . The sooner we move him on the better
 
I can see why we signed, taking a risk with his fitness but no transfer fee.
It hasn't worked out, and if the rumours are true that he doesn't look after himself off the pitch then we need to get rid.
The club gets more right than it gets wrong and no-one needs to bay for blood on this one.
 
Yep. I noticed that. Barnes and co should have pushed for an answer.

They have an agreement not to even bother mentioning him now, I can't go too much into what I have heard because it would be obvious where it's come from but put it this way, there's about as much chance of me playing for Sunderland next season in a strike partnership with Harry Kane than there is of Poveda playing for us

Wow
Big bust up then. Then he must be in some kind of breach of contract?
 
Just needs a good pre season.
Which one. 2031?
Sheffield Wednesday having that transfer embargo, does that include loans? If not, I say just loan him to them, have them pay half his wages and try and get him back playing where he was loved, maybe we could then sell him the summer after.
They've not been paying anyone wages never mind half…

That's been the philosophy with most of this regime's transfers. Low outlay but high risk as to whether they'll come off or not. There was no difference with the Poveda deal apart from the fact that so far, it hasn't come off at all.
