We are desperate for a goal scoring CF and on paper he looks a good shout but we can't afford another Mina. Same with Bilal Traoré major thigh injury at a young age. Teams in the top 6 can afford it if a signing is injury prone with their squad depth but we have to be super careful ( or as much as you can be in football)
I agree to a certain extent mate, but it's the age old Everton thing: we can either attract players because they aren't very good to begin with, or because they are injury prone. Very rare we get anything outside those two groups.

Of the two, I would rather take a punt on someone with a poor injury record who is actually good, than sign someone who is awful but never injured (see Michael Keane).

Of course, we shouldn't be in a position where these are effectively our only choices.
 
‘Talks are ongoing’ is such nonsense to me

‘Hey Leeds lads can we have Gnonto?’
‘How much lad?’
‘Reckon £12m is fair lad?’
‘Nah lad, we want £25m’
‘I want never gets, how about £15m?’
‘Gotta be at least £20m’
‘Alright let’s agree on £18m’
‘Fair enough if it’s it up front lad?’
‘Nah Klarna it over 8 years?’
‘Make it £6m each year for 3 you absolute chancers’
‘Alright lad, sound, deal’

Are we waiting five days in between each phone call/email/fax/carrier pigeon or what? If we want a deal have that conversation and if you can’t agree move on to the next target ffs
 

Not convinced by Gnonto and hope we don’t use our scant funds on him. His style of play reminds me of Aron Lennon, really hope I’m missing something but really can’t see the fuss (or the goals) with him.

Go get Sarr (actual right winger) and a good rotation striker for DCL and we’d be far better off. Dembele on a free and a young prospect would be my choice.

Not sure about the Sarr shout, looked a talent a few years ago but there's a reason he's still languishing in the Championship, even Watford fans seem pretty keen to get shot of him. Gnonto probably wouldn't cost much more, and is probably already about the same level right now, with 5 years more worth of potential. Could argue neither might be exactly what we need right now, but I wouldn't take Sarr over Gnonto.
 
Get the feeling we’re so so early in this Gnonto saga too.
Only way i could see us getting him is making a move before other teams

That sarr is over rated is why teams have not been in for him and the price they wanted for him. Is a risk with gnonto but can see he has more than just pace to his game
 

Does everything at Sunderland end with 'of light'?

Will he have his medical in the hospital of light? And sign with the pen of light? Butter his toast with lurpak of light?
Haha stadium of light. Academy of light and beacon of light are actual buildings. Then you have the foundation of light which is the clubs charity.

The ground is built on top of an old mine, which is where the name comes from
