Transfer Rumour Lamine Kone

[Ashtonian]

Bit early to tell. Majority happy we have got him. SAm and the FA left us in the crap so he's had little time to get things moving. Hopefully he can get us up to the lofty heights of 15 this season..ha.

Think the main thing with moyes is that if you give him long enough then he will actually care about Sunderland far more than most managers you have had before. Once he has his squad and his players he will be part of the furniture before too long.

Only look at us when he took over and where we ended up as to what sort of job he will do. He will have you over achieving within a budget , although signing them young lads is a bit out of character for him haha

Considering Williams and apparently Bolasie have/will sign contracts wor th 80-90k I would hope we are quick to offer similar to Kone and put a £20-24 million offer on the table for him. Just get the signing done so we can put out a strong side post Spurs match. Hate how our transfers seem to rumble on.

Suppose that's based on the fact he's done nothing in football. It's probably his one and only big contact and fair enough he wants as much as possible. (Even if he has to wait for 3 weeks)

So does Kone already know the offer (wages) on the table from your board mate.

 

[bullybeef]

Will be amazed if he is still at Sunderland come 1st September.

 

[DownOnTheUpside]

Even better. Here's £15m and Cleverly is yours. Now give us Kone.

We should sneak into the ground after a game wearing tom cleverly shirts (to make us invisible) and get him to swap kits with aruna
Lash a bit of domestos in his hair and walk out with 'aruna'

The mission impossible theme has to playthe entire time

 

[EFCMMA]

Good signing I reckon. Will add competition and looked really solid back end of last year.

 

[BlueToff]

I'm trying my best to understand how someone can make an assumption about a player not being the managers 'type', based on nothing at all, very strange

Well it happens enough on here mate...

But, just a gut feeling really, a hunch. I'm more than likely wrong.

He'll sort you out a solid backline and build from there. We had one of the meanest defences in the Prem when he left for ManUre. Then the Catalan Used Car Salesman took over and the rest is history.........

i'm so glad you're nowhere near our transfer negotiations

 

[Petit]

Yes I am sure you would turn down an extra 6.2m pound over 4 years to stay loyal mate, 100% believe that I do.

Ridiculous interchange this.

 

[Petit]

depends what it was. It would have to be a pretty good project for me to turn down an additional £30k a week for 4 years tbh.

Well, If he joins, let´s not be surprised when he throws a tantrum the first time he´s linked with Chelsea, Utd or PSG.

 

[Jags..class]

Sumderland offering him a new contract, another one we are going to fail on,no wonder Koeman frustrated. We should have offered Jags.

Sunderland are playing the PR blame game nothing more. He'll be an Everton player next week imo

 

[markDee]

Sounds like another player and his agent using Everton to get a new contact and pay rise at his current club. Swerve

 

[mccole]

Honestly if Moyes wants Jags, at 33 I can't see him playing as much 1st team football ahead of Williams, Fumes Mori or plus Holgate, Galloway, Pennington I would move him on for £4-5m to bring Kone to bring him in.

Best deal for both clubs
