Left side sorted! Nice work Steve and big Sam, just need a midfielder and I'll be optimistic about staying up and some! I agree; it's what we desperately needed. They've done really well; a decent DM and I'd say they'd done brilliantly.

Back end of last season I agree, but this season definitely not! You clearly haven't watched much of us. He's totally reverted to type again and has been at fault for goals every week recently. Great be happy then that he's going. I'm sure all your troubles will leave with PVA. Is that it though? I mean you've more than made your point. Or can we look forward to loads of told you so posts going forward if it sdoesn't work out, just like we had from your Geordie rivals with Pardew. Is it a North East thing or something?

January prices are normally higher anyway. But remember we have just had to pay £12m for Schlupp who isn't even first choice left back or wing. £9m-£14m (depending on the eventual price) for a regular starter doesn't sound as bad in comparison. And also worth noting that the £12m we paid for Schlupp was the same as a rejected offer in the summer, so you could even argue we got him "on the cheap"!

That's a very good point. If he can replicate that, and its a very big if, then he could turn out to be a decent signing for you's. He was better last season, but still there were major flaws that were glossed over because the team started winning. Personally I'm a little torn over the transfer tbh. I probably would have liked to have kept him, but if the reported £14 million is true then we would have been daft not to accept it. Apparently he'd become quite a disruptive influence in the dressing room lately and isn't the most liked of players, so maybe this deal might be the best for all concerned. Not surprised over the disruptive influence claim. It's not always true, but when someone is trying to angle a move away - and the Sunderland statement saying he has said he wants to leave is a pretty clear indication he has done that - then they will obviously be disruptive. I think he may need the influence of a new DM, or possibly Flamini to try and cover or some of the flaws that are obviously in his game. But given the aerial prowess we have up front, an attacking fullback with a good cross on them could be exactly what we need.

If we stay up then the price is irrelevant. Interesting to see what would happen next season when Papa Souare comes back. Competition for places? Surely not! as much as we all want to see Paps back on the pitch, despite him training now, I think its going to be someway thru next season before he's fighting fit and ready to roll....cant come too soon tho. lets hope we get to see what we've been missing then and still in the prem

In fact if we do actually stay up and target a true quality left winger in the summer then you might see Papa being let go. Van Aanholt and Schlupp can both play left back so you might consider one more left sided signing as the end of road for Papa.

Perusing the 'ready to go' Sunderland forum, he doesn't seem very highly thought of by their lot. Probably a case of sour grapes, supporters scorned and all that. The closer this deal gets, the worse they rate him => sour grapes indeed if you ask me. Looking forward to see us play with a real/decent left back again (if this gets finalized of course).
