He'd inevitably become a better player in the eyes of some

Try Lewis at RB

DCL: Just regular old crackers!

Currently they will be struggling to get near Derby's record. The three teams last year were a lot better than the current Sunderland team. Did you or others thinking they may be ok, actually watch them last season? Not one of their current players is premier league standard. Unless they sign a number of the level required, then they will be back in the championship this time next year

Plus, everyone will shut up for a bit and moan about that instead

Doesn’t he just roll the bolder down on Piggy and create a chaotic descent into transfer market madness?

I would definitely take DCL for a free as a backup

Must be how Boehly gets all those transfers done!

I hate the thought of signing DCL but on a free it allows us the extra headroom to bring in Elanga?

Yeh I hear that. But if we’ve lost out on JP - let’s wait and see if we can identify a like for like alternative position wise. Because Janpawel and TCD don’t know alternatives doesn’t mean the club doesn’t. I agree there are not lots of easy to identify alternatives like there is at RW. I feel like we change shape for JP personally.

Time to blow Piggy’s conch

Every Curb reference gets a 👍.

Eddie's comments after Everton about us needing to move quickly have definitely set everyone's expectations that we'd have done something by now. Trafford seems to be almost done, if we can then move along one of the others by mid-July we're probably about on target with time left to work on the other 2-3. It does feel frustrating and the constant re-hash articles from know-nowt journalists serve only to wind people up, but we've just got to trust and hope that once we get into July and a fresh PSR window, the market starts to move a bit quicker.

Everything has a positive and a negative use. Just got to extenuate the positive

Just hope we sign someone soon, this place is turning into Lord of the Flies

You sound hurt and uptight. I’ve not even criticised the club for this transfer! For this particular situation there’s nothing they could do. You are unable to hold even the slightest nuance in a view. You’re upset and angry that other fans are concerned. Youve got the right hump at me because I’ve said ‘hey man, I can see why they might be concerned’. If it’s not blind praise everything is going great and everything is perfect and to plan - you get upset.

The Internet is a wondrous thing, but it's also a dreadfully depressing thing.

Leaving Everton because he wants to play in the CL. Sounds ominous....

In the region of £130m

I know, but this is a forum, with opinions and discussion 😂 I just mean I'd be really keen to have him, I genuinely don't know any other players like him, as I don't follow other leagues closely, and think he ticks so many boxes. I'd be more gutted with Pedro going to Chelsea, then Mbuemo going to Man U, as I feel there are other options at RW that improve us, where as the the CM/AM/ST is more complicated I think he would at times Get a faster CB, Pope/Trafford sweeper keeper, push the defensive line higher up, Bruno plays a bit closer to Tonali, the space in midfield is reduced, and I think Pedro would do a job as LCM

We've likely dozens of targets in every position. If Huijsen was a dream signing, we'd have quickly moved on when Madrid called. You can either love the ambition or can be critical of them for missing out on targets.

Especially at £500k a week, we can definitely only afford one

Who said we have 4 targets like?

We are already in the alternative targets tbh. We've missed out Mbuemo, Delap, Huijsen already. We are hunting in very crowded waters, it's very difficult.
