Moise Kean (*Loaned to Juve till 2023,obligation to buy, with conditions)

Looking at this now, you’d think the following changed would leave us in a very healthy position ahead of the season:

In:
Coady (Loan)
Onana (Buy)
Gueye (Buy)
Broja (Loan)

Out:
Nkounkou (Loan)
Holgate / Keane / Mina (Sell)
Allan (Sell)
Gomes (Sell)
Gbamin (Sell)

Then look to shuffle a few more pieces around in January (Davies, Townsend, Rondon and evaluate the CB position RE: Gibson & Welch and how Branthwaite does at PSV).

Agree with all of this, particularly Coady on loan instead of buying him.

Well it's going to be Townsend because I'm guessing he won't have recovered before the winter world cup break. Or Godfrey I suppose.
 

I thought a few clubs had enquired Spurs etc ....
Was speaking to somebody who is mates of a mate of Pickford on Saturday, not somebody who blags, but that doesnt mean the person he was speaking to wasnt blagging.

But anyway, Pickford is VERY happy at Everton and has no desire to leave any time soon, his plan is to stay here till Everton no longer want him and then return to Sunderland.

Take it with a pinch of salt.

Players only move when they want to move.

So he is under the category of can't get rid then ......

Can see why. He’s not an idiot, he must know that if he went to one of those top clubs it would only heighten the media narrative against him. Can you imagine if he made the sort of mistakes for United Arsenal or Spurs that De Gea Ramsdale and Lloris make regularly? He’d get slaughtered.

At Everton he’s guaranteed first team football, guaranteed fan support, and knows that he’ll be England number one as he’s not going to be dropped for the first mistake he makes in a season.

Feels as though Allan, Gomes, Gbamin Nkonkou are the natural candidates to leave from that list.

Shame Godfrey and Mina got injured otherwise we could have added Keane to that.

Well getting Godfrey's leg broken was a good start... ball miles out plus he passed it to an Arsenal player FGS.....

My mate lives in Washington, where Pickfords from. Certainly early on with us, pickford would be back in washington/sunderland nearly every week after a game.

Being in the North is a pull for him, and I think we have been flexible with him (just look at the end of last season when we have secured safety and then dropped him for the arsenal game so that he could go to the play off final the day before).
