Didn’t “Bobble” say we’d offered him one and he rejected it?

I'm pretty sure the club announced they were in discussions, maybe it didn't go as far as an actual contract offer?

Rate the lad but seems a high price for him, hopefully get for something like the barry deal that ends up at the price they want.

Mcatee will end up going to the club he wants to go, city won't force him into a deal even if higher that the lads not all for.

Xhaka deal is a strange one. You’d think he’d have better offers than Sunderland even in the prem, could have seen someone like Fulham or West Ham go for him, even United. Nothing even from Saudi.

He said in his interview he’s been dreaming of playing for Sunderland since he was a kid.

It wasn’t exactly them words but that’s what I took from it.

He’s the turned down a move to the MLS - wanted by teams in Turkey and loosely linked to us earlier in window

I wouldn’t be surprised if Moyes comes in for Dan Neil. The lad still hasn’t signed a contract with us and with our new midfield signings, it looks like he’ll be away.

Nah mate, the interest in Neil was driven by Thelwell, for what it's worth i like Neil but think he's reached or close to it on his peak already and will struggle in the prem

We’ve got the Moroccan Maldini now anyway.

Once we had Aznou sorted we wouldnt need another LB.

Decent player, rarely injured, just think we need someone with a little more quality than him as he's much the same level as a Jimmy Garner

He's one of those meh signings, which means it will probably happen. He's got that experience Moyes was banging on about. Not a transfer to get the juices flowing, however.

Weirdly I don’t hate this if the price is sane.

Just saw that and had a look at his stats. Looks very ordinary for that kind of money. His digits aren’t particularly great.

I always thought he was a full back rather than a midfielder ?

Let’s hope it is McAtee and not Stones or Branthwaite !!!)

Maitland-Niles is the Lyon player
McAtee & Grealish City players
Luiz from Juventus - loan but Juve want €39m mandatory clause

Let's look at this logically......

They bought him for 30mil at the age of 23. In 7 seasons he played almost 300 games for Arsenal.

They sold him for 21.4mil at the age of 30 with one year left on his contract to Leverkusen.

I think any side outside of the big 6 generally could have gone for him, and Sunderland have jumped in there.

Not bothering commenting on your Ballon d'Or take.

Hope this answers your questions.

Also curious what you would expect to sell a 30yr old with 1 year on the contract left? If it's Everton we cannot sell them and they go for free 1 year later.
