Transfer Rumour Lamine Kone

[GlosBlue]

We become billionaires and this is the standard of player we are looking at

The future is bright.

Billionaires? Mosh owns 49% and I'm sure i read he has under 2 billion in total. I know if I was him I wouldn't be chucking mental money about just yet.

 

[KaiserEFC]

You have no idea how good Kone is, it's just not an exotic or big name.

I'll be honest I just don't like the idea of replacing one of the best young talents in football with someone who plays for a team that nearly get relegated every season.

 

[Number_25]

Would be a great signing, we've missed someone in the Distin role.

Sunderland fans couldn't speak highly enough of him, so if he were to join then I'd be happy.

 

[Foot Long Hot Dog]

So why pay 12 million for a 32 year old then???????

We bought Distin at the same age 7 years ago for £5m after selling Lescott for £27m

We got 5 good years out of Distin.

Fast forward to 2016 and we've sold a CB who's not even the finished article for £47.5m and paid £12m for one of the most solid CB's in the league.

The fees are relative.

Yeh because we were an absolute mint team last year.

 

[mkrudden]

Aye we also lost 1 of our last 11 since that biff joined the club

@orly is definitely rocking after that stiff jab from @Albertini78
Fantastic viewing.

You mean one who came in half way through last season and helped them comfortably avoid the drop?

I wish people would stop being negative for negatives sake.

No injury since March 2015?

 

[Albertini78]

You's lads should have a look at Pure Football over on the SMB you'll barely see a post by anyone who wants to lose him he's loved by our fans. I'm sure some are just thinking he's [Poor language removed] because he's a Sunderland player lol. Our luck we sign a good player then he's away 2mins later

Mis-read it on SOccerway... He seems to get a fair few small niggles but as you say, no injury since March last season.

 

[Lewis09]

18m for this chancer. I give up.

Not really like, I hadn't even seen it til you tagged me in as I block most fans of other teams.

16 goals conceded in 15 games and they stayed up with two games to go. What a talent.
The "I come in peace" crowd should have given that advice to their dads

Good, don't let us keep you.

 

[Albertini78]

Kirchoff is a decent holding midfielder, but was awful as a centre half

He's quality another reason we stayed up just struggles to play 90mins
