Whether or not we've replaced like for like in terms of quality will play out over the weeks and months to come, thats the only real test, starting on Saturday at home to Bristol City.

J*B Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 I’m not surprised but I’m surprised (does that make sense?) we haven’t sold BBD. I can’t make any case for why we haven’t banked what money we can. Not going up with him, not going down without him. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’d be in a scrap without him, comfortable with him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is he's agreed to sign a pre-contract with Sevilla, or someone like that, in Jan and made it clear he's not interested in negotiating with any teams this window whether we accept bids or not. Reason he's so relaxed about it all currently. Edited September 1, 2022 by danger19_80 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theaxe15 Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Walcott being touted for a loan move to the Championship. Would take him for a season if wage contribution wasn’t too high. Good pro to have around, could surely offer something. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B16Rover Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Wonder if Juan Mata fancies staying local now he's out of a contract, presumably has kids in school in Manchester and has caked it in for years Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1864roverite Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 1 hour ago, tomphil said: Exactly This is where we are at now the sale of him makes little sense because the money, not likely to be much, won't be spent. Take off Forests cut and agents fees and whatever the player might be owed there's a bit carried over to summer maybe. If the owners are prepared to invest again next summer though with FFP allowing it then his sale now is pointless. 15/20 mill hell yes you've got to deal now but anything less forget it. Of course it shouldn't have come to this but it has so lets get the best out of him as a fan that's what i want to see not 8 million or so disappear into thin air and a toothless attack. agents fees are paid for by the buying club - forest have a small cut of any profit - whilst Rovers will only pay up his loyalty bonus !

bigbrandjohn Posted September 1, 2022 Share Posted September 1, 2022 Interesting comment Mowbray made about his new owners “ But I feel as if there is a plan from the owners. They are not saying ‘Sunderlandhave to win the league this year’. They want to grow this club incrementally, they don’t want to spend £100 million this summer. Put talent and quality into your club and let it grow.“ Looks like another journey then? No pressure to get promoted. Luvly. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
