It's Quiet - a new dawn

[tolmie's hairdoo]

Sounds great. Are we working on a marquee attacking player, or just goalie, defense and midfield?

All depends on Sergio.

 

[FantasyIreland]

Just a pity he can't influence all the outgoings.

Hanging around like bad smells.

Given the lifestyle and riches they have been fortunate to experience here,that was always going to be a problem - no where else will they ever have it so good,so,as frustrating as it is......i cannot blame them for clinging on.

Ship them back to Platt Lane and turn the hot water off.

Ja, baby!!!

Düsseldorf, Dahoud?

Let's play the game then (based on their huge wages/pay-offs and limited options) - the turnover this summer/wage savings must be monumental.

Hart - £15m
Nasri - £16m (supposed fixed fee)
Bony - £13m - (two years left on his deal)
Mangala - £14m
Bravo - £10m
Delph - £7m
Nolito - £7m
Otamendi - £18m

Navas- Free
Clichy - Free
Sagna - Free
Yaya - Free
Kompany - Free (least we would owe him/playing on etc?)
Zabba - Free

A Sergio sale? £70m

Are Madrid sniffing round Aguero again?
Think their Presidential Elections are coming up and Perez tends to bring in a "Galactico" or 2.

 

[Ruhr]

I was looking at Kolasinac and he looks stellar defensively but I don't know how good he is in the build up and going forward. Anybody care to enlighten me on this?

 

[Jazzman]

Put it this way, I think most of our incomings are already close to being done.

Incredible.

That is the best piece of news today :-) No matter which names we are talking about this is great.

I reckon we'd probably get around £10m for Denayer of Sunderland/Stoke/Bournemouth/Galatasaray.

Probably another £10m total from 2 or 3 EDS players too.

 

[domalino]

How fast is he?

 

[Jazzman]

transfermarks.de certainly runs a story today that City are favorites to get Kolasinac. His agent went to Manchester this week and spoke to City. Great buy IMO. This is guy is good, and also free as his contract runs out this summer.

The idea of getting Dahoud+Kolasinac for £8.5m combined is ridiculous. Two young first team players which would sort out problem positions for less than £10m.

It's funny just how much we're looking at the german market with Pep, just like he bought from Spain in Germany. I wonder if, when he eventually leaves us, his next club will end up buying loads of English based players.

 

[Delphacito]

How fast is he?

He doesn't seem fast at all, he has that stocky build on him. But to me even if he's not overly fast it's okay as long as he's got the stamina to run back and forth the field. Defensively he looks like a tank.

It seems there are signs of us getting Kolasinac, Dahoud, Fabinho and Henrics when I read this thread. Love it!

Don't forget Fabinho and Ederson too. That's four players for £70m, which still leaves us with arguably another £100m. We can spend some serious cash.

I reckon more like 5m for Denayer,his stock has seriously dropped.However,Mooy will fetch approaching 10m,if not kept on.

So,looking at TH's list,in an ideal transfer world,we could bring in some serious money and hugely reduce the wage bill simultaneously.

Aguero's situation is the most complex and diversive,that will be very interesting.

I think you're underselling Denayer, I don't think his stock has dropped at all - his club is doing shite, but the Sunderland fans I've spoken to all think he's very promising and wish he was used more at CB.

I was told he was slow, but nearly all of the "Team X wants to get Kolasinac" from the past 2 years I've seen mention he's pacey.

 

[JMason1996]

Hope we use the academy instead of buying homegrown players like Wilshere and Ox

I hope youre right Dom,as i always believed he would be a tremendous centre half - and i honestly cant believe how his career has panned out so far,he shouldnt be playing in a Sunderland team that are certainties for relegation.
If we keep him on loan,and can convince a club like Southampton to take a chance on him,then i'm sure he will begin to show his true worth again.
