"I'd keep" not buy ya silly sausage.

I reckon he could do a job in the new formation, filling in for Coleman if he gets injured.

I'm not ITK.

I have it on very very good authority that these deals will most likely go through (with some nearing full completion tomorrow)

IN

Emerson
Ramsdale
Keane
Terrier
Joaquín Ardaiz

OUT
Kone
McCarthy
Dowell (Loan)

Like I said, not ITK so take it or leave it.

isnt "i have it on very very good authority these deals will go through" literally the definition of "IN THE KNOW"?

No but Koeman said we are going with enner as backup and he's just as bad as niasse. Point making walsh has had 5 months and best thing he could come up with is Enner and Belfodi.

No, he isn't. Valencia is not the standard we need, but Niasse is simply a dreadful footballer. They're not the same at all.

Sounds about right. We paid about 5 million for Oviedo didn't we, so add in a bit for transfer inflation and you come to 7.5.

We paid 1m for Oviedo and 500k for Gibbo

Some people on here really are something else crying about negative net spend... if the negative net spend is because we got rid of our dross to idiot teams then that's good right? No point having a positive net spend if we still keep the dross... that's only a drain on resources... I think it's smart business and people get to hung up on net spend.

Look to the quality of the squad now compared to when koeman got here... it's slowly getting better. It will take time and I'm OK with that. We are going in the right direction that is what matters.

Unless the net spend is at least 28p , I'm going to fuuuuuummmmeee

Actually , who really gives a damn what the net spend is

Selling to buy isn't bad but i'd argue the are players i'd rather get rid of than mccarthy and del boy first before seeing back of them.

Which ones mate? And in all honesty who would want them?

I accept what you are saying. I think we will all want to see a big signing(s) come the summer, no excuses. However we have offloaded well and got two good players in for similar money this window.

Well firstly we give a new contract to a CM who is worse than Mccarthy.

Lennon Kone Enner Kevin out first then i'd remove del

If we are removing them all over next two windows it is sound, but problem is it looks like we are removing mccarthy to get our spending levels back to negative while keeping Barry

@Walter Cronkite

He arrives, drops an ITK bomb and leaves with no explanation.
The exact MO of @DAVIDMOYES.

Just saying

I expect Mccarthy to be sold and have a negative net spend same as summer, a phantom bid and mosh talk to jim white about it in following weeks after the next loss.

'We bid for manolas but they wouldn't sell' 'watch this space' or something like that.

Have a day off mate

How is it getting better mate when manager makes comments like 'we have enner we don't need striker' bizarre statement

Yeah you focus on one thing .. I will look bigger picture. And that shows me the squad is getting slowly better... would I want it to move quicker? Of course but that isn't always possible.

I'm not sure we are selling to keep our net spend though mate. If 20 million comes in I suspect it would be seen as too good to turn down.

As for the others I agree those that it's questionable anyone would want them. There's on so much rubbish we can send to Sunderland!

ijjysmith · January 31, 2017

Has anyone mentioned net spend yet?

I'd be over the moon with 20 for Mccarthy, just rather see it invested while the squad is suddenly become thin.
Reality is we can see us losing him with no incoming and 5+ players out
