In my opinion we need to not let Gus/Sunderland get away with taking the piss. Cave in and they are back with a 4 million bid for Ulloa, and perhaps 1 million for Orlandi.
Draw the line in the sand now.
Do Sunderland want to get Bridcutt on the cheap, so they still have enough cash left over ( after signing Buckley ) to make a bid for Ulloa ? ???
Let's use up all their free funds on this one.
I think it's more a case that the 'unforgivable actions' were there, win or lose.
However, a win would have meant they would have had little consequence that night.
As long as this transfer request isn't a means of forcing through a low fee, then no problem really.
If Sunderland pay the asking price, there really is no problem.
