If Sunderland were desperate to keep him, why would they publicize the bid? This sound s like they're trying to invite more bids. They're trying to bump up the price. If teams are in for a 'lot' of their players, why are the in the relegation zone?

If we offered 7M. t's worthy to raise the bar around 9M. Edited by Portuguese (14 Jan 2017 9.29am)

They are £181 million in debt, 11th in Europe last financial year, 3rd in UK, 3 out of their last 46 transfers have made a profit (probably not a ringing endorsement in relation to our new manager). Jeremain Lens has stated that he wants them relegated to force a move. Look like an accident waiting to happen. In relation to Van Aanholt would be a good addition if we also sign at least one defender who can defend. Edited by Booted Eagle (14 Jan 2017 9.32am)

Edited by Booted Eagle (14 Jan 2017 9.32am) Not making a profit on player sales is nothing to do with Alladyce, he brought in Kone, Khazri & Kirchoff for £15m, the only players he signed, all three are still there and they'll profit on the sale of Kone alone.

Just to bump it up to the top again! Would be happy with him, long term left back, looks like Evra deal is now gone. Some sports paper in Turin reckon Evra has opted to join Palace but I don't think anyone really knows anything except player, agent and the selling club at this stage.

It does look as though a move of one player in and/or out is going to set off a few and that's where the quality signings are possibly/hopefully held up. Or we could just go out and buy immediately for 2 league matches.

Would love Van Aanholt at the club but we have a good enough squad now don't need to throw money around it won't solve the problems we have just get rid of the players that are not pulling their weight which it seems like the whole team we ain't a bad side we should be top half not bottom 3 We have a good enough squad, but should get rid of the whole team? Can you spot the massive contradiction in those two statements? As an absolute minimum, we need a LB/LW in this window, dependent on how we're proposing to use Schlupp, and there are other positions that should ideally be strengthened as well. But reducing our paper thin squad without getting in stronger replacements would be the quickest route to the Championship.

At the risk of sounding a bit Willo, people I know in the football universe (i.e. I have a mate who is a season ticket holder at the Stadium of sh*te) reckon PVA is OK going forward but poor defensively, although, apparently, working with Sam did temporarily improve his defensive play. Quite a few Sunderland fans would be willing to drive PVA here personally and the thought that anyone might pay £7 million for him is causing much merriment. I actually thought Schlupp did rather well defensively yesterday so not sure we need an extra LB? Schlupp would do well as a left wing back. We will have Sakho coming back from AFCON as an attacking left midfielder, and Wilf is effective on the left as well as the right. We still have Townsend although rumours suggest he might be off by the end of the window. What we really need is a really good DM and CB cover.

just out of interest, does anybody know how far pape is to returning? as i would see us signing schlupp & PVA if hes only a few months away as an awful waste of £20m Most people seem to think PVA is better that Souare, a mackem friend of mine rates him but very frustrated with the lack of consistency. Souare needed upgrading before he was injured, a good player but as with a lot of positions we need better. Though it would be interesting to see how he plays as a LWB Schlupp might be played as an out and out winger?
