So we bid 60 million of the much hyped war chest for Koulibally but have now opened the bidding for a top summer target at a feeble £8 million.

He "got away with it" last Summer, settling in period for the manager, the new DoF, "Bill sticking his nose in", which is quite laughable, but anyway, everybody got a free pass. No free passes handed out this summer, for anybody and if August comes and the need for finger pointing arises, I know who my fingers will be getting pointed at, BOTH OF THEM.

But im sure that there wont be any need for blaming, only praise.

Spot on.

Play time is over.

"The Mosh" better deliver.

We should have paid them to take them off us.

Moshiri is just as much to blame as Kenwright if we balls this window up like last summer. Can be no excuses bidding £8 million for a top summer target.

What winds me up about this club is we talk a big game, the 'offering Napoli Koulibalys £60 million' price tag' Kenwrights 'if we want a player who wants to come here we'll get them'

Yet we continue to be a laughing stock in the transfer window.

The transfer window isn't open.


Everyone stop acting like children.

Don't panic Mr Mainwaring.

Sunderland owe us £5m for Oviedo. We bid £8m for Pickford. 5+8=£13m.

I'd say that's a fair price, for an unproven keeper from the Championship.

People only blame Kenwright when its a bad one, when its a good (as in a lot of the time) one or an amazing one (such as binning players to Sunderland for far too much) the same people are no place to be seen, moan when it suits thats why

Everything bad will be Kenwright and Elstone don't worry

People are only speculating in waving the Oviedo fee because people was taking the mick out of our low ball bid. I think Sunderland will cave in anyway now moyes has gone. Moyes had to much of an ego to sell Kone to us, wouldn't of allowed Pickford to go would of filled his head with lies, he left and that more or less confirms Sunderland are skint.

To be fair he did us a favor on that one!

i hope we put relegation clauses in there as well.

Everton:"And you pay us an extra £5m if you get relegated"
sunderland: "why on earth would we do that?"
Everton: "What? Do you not feel confident you can stay up, if you don't add it in, we'll let the whole world know that you're so not confident enough to pay a relegation fee"
sunderland: " .... "
Everton: "yeah, i thought so, pleasure doing business with you".


I think it's a new revolutionary technique which we should employ from now on when selling to clubs in trouble.

It was true then, it's true now.

If the £7.5m is still fully outstanding and we've taken it into consideration then we've actually bid £15.5m which would be a reasonable opening.
However the Echo report, 'It is believed that the Blues hierarchy would be willing to go as high as £15m.'
That indicates that the £7.5m is not being taken into consideration and we've genuinely opened with a low ball bid for a top target when just a few weeks ago some were claiming we were going to go for it early this summer.
