Love an attacking defender in the vein of dean Gordon and fan zhyi he's made for palace

Fan zhyi?? Wasn't he a centre back?

The Guardian described his as one of Sunderland only decent players (the other being Defoe).

If he doesn't have a heart problem then he appears to be exactly what we need. Overpriced at £9 million but we all know that you pay over the odds in January.

 

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

We need a left back. He's available and not that bad. Pape is a great player, but we can all agree he's not exactly a rock at the back.

Van Aanholt is a better option than Ward, Kelly or Fryers.

I disagree, Souare's defensive abilities are incredibly underrated by many on here.

I actually think it's a very small sum. I was sure they'd demand 20 million for him, ESPECIALLY when selling to rivals in the relegation battle.

Hmmm...I guess the ones providing the assists are just not as important as the ones actually scoring goals.
Or so does Sunderland think

Any idea what his present situation is - I read he is training but that seems amazingly quick considering his injuries..

I don't know but I doubt we'll see him make much of an impression this season if any.

£20m

If he was that good they'd hold out for that.

Does it not concern anyone that a relegation struggler is selling one of their best players for £9m when, if he was that good, they'll keep him and try to stay up for another year with the help of their superstar?

He's going to get destroyed on here.

 
rollercoaster Flag Cornwall 24 Jan 17 7.29pm

Whatever his rating vs other left-backs in the prem. Given our current available squad he will be a serious enhancement. We have NO left back folks and very very limited defensive options on the left side of our defence.

Seriously, this message board is getting even more negative and I didn't think that was possible.. I know we've been on a bad run for over a year but if this transfer goes throughthen it is a bit of good news surely.

 
rollercoaster Flag Cornwall 24 Jan 17 7.31pm

And whilst I'm on it. Every player we buy has had to be 'let go' by another club so 'cannot be good enough for us' or is 'too much money'. Too easy to say and the obvious negative line for every single transaction we do.

Look, as long as we can stay up then much else is possible. It is clearly the case that player power supplants manager power in the grand scheme of things.

 
rawpalace05 Flag Saltdean 24 Jan 17 7.40pm

Did you see pva's "defending" v WBA? Doesn't thrill me with confidence

I'm sure he's better than the highlights, plus u could say in a side devoid of confidence he's possibly better than current performances..problem is he'll be joining a side in a similar state..for 9 million?

 

1/6/2010.a new era.we made it everyone!!!lets get the ball rolling for another 105 years of proud history.thank you cpfc2010.

According to Chronicle Live, not a done deal as it apparently hinges on Sunderland finding a replacement first.
Very disappointing news,if accurate.
