We have been linked with young Everton left back Thierry Small who I think hasn't signed a new contract yet. The negative is all the big boys are after him. The plus side is we now have a few success stories of young players being given the chance here. Only 16 so a year or two away from the first team. Agree with others there are 5 or 6 players that really need to move / be moved on now this summer. Connolly needs a year in the championship and 20 goals under his belt.
I think he scored five goals in three games for Serbia this week, I’ll take that
That’s him
I appreciate he’s having a good season but if he’d had several previous good seasons he wouldn’t be at Sunderland and we couldn’t afford him
No shit Sherlock.
I realise that an opinion on here that we won't buy a big name striker is like taking your toddler toys away from you but that's what I reckon will happen seeing as we have six striker options at the moment and have taken to playing a false nine or revolving attacking three. But then I'm brave enough to put my head above the parapet.
Are you expert enough to spend Tony's money for him? If so, who can we expect? Or can we just expect another summer of extreme pant wetting from your two accounts without an actual sensible suggestion?
I think Toney would have been a good ‘punt’, particularly when you think of some of the rubbish we have bought.
Must admit I always enjoy these threads as there seems to be so much knowledge around foreign players - NSC is quite impressive at times.....

A certain Lionel Messi is out of contract this summer. Come on Tony get the cheque book out!!

Are we honestly lowering our standards to the likes of Messi, expected better!
Scores goals for fun in the Championship but his control and passing are League One at best. No way would Potter be interested in him as he demands so much more of his front men (see Maupay’s assist, hold-up play and work rate yesterday).

If all we can afford is someone having a one-off good season then we're honestly better off signing nobody at all. He's not even the top scoer in L1!

Very easy to say in hindsight though.
I don't know how comfortable we would have been spending £10m on a L1 player.

Revisit end of month by which time hopefully we’ve confirmed our PL status
I’d be happy with all of that apart from losing Ben White. Unless we get a crazy silly offer for him, I hope he’s here next season. I think considering it’s his debut season in the PL he’s been sensational and will only improve.
I agree, I don’t want him to go but if Man Utd want him, they’ll get as they pay absolutely stupid money for English defenders. It’s almost ‘name your price’ territory; we’d clearly demand more than Palace got for the decidedly average Wan Bissaka.
The good news is that Webster or Veltman are both very good in the RCB position, we just need Clarke or Burn to step up at LCB before Roberts is ready in a few years time.

Opinionated
I'd take the citeh reject in a heartbeat, but realistically, I can't see much happening in the summer
Yes, but did someone say £5m plus add-one?
I would have gone for that.
Physically, he is exactly what we need and would offer something different, not sure I’d pay the £25m - £30m Brentford will ask.
Easy when it’s not my money [emoji2]
When we make our next purchase I would hope we go after someone from the German/Italian or French leagues.....

None of us know the breakdown of the deal but it was reported as £6.5 million plus considerable add-ons taking it to £10m.
That's a lot of money for a player in the 3rd tier and he may have found the step up from L1 to Prem too much.
I don't know how strong our interest was but at that price, I think it's reasonable we didn't go in for him.
