Nobody Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 £14M fee for a 32 year old God please make this happen Nearer £3m I think you'll find or are you including his wages? I think you'll find that when you buy players, you always include everything you have to pay for the duration of the contract. However, don't think that when you sell a player, his wages disappears off your books, because that's not how it works. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

bhoywhonder Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 He's got a good record against us. That's the only criteria they need to stay up. Translation: He's got a good record against us. That's the only criteria they need to make a bunch of t-shirts and idolise him as some sort of messiah. Seriously though? How much have they spunked on Altidore, Whickham, Fletcher et al....only to fall back on this has-been?! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was just talking about the fee though, by this logic Di Maria is probably going to cost Man Yoo something like 200m Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Confirmed according to TSN over here: http://www.tsn.ca/toronto-fc-completes-swap-deal-altidore-to-toronto-defoe-to-sunderland-1.181889 Giovinco Is another coup for them, although he is made of glass.

Exiled in Texas Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 **** me.... I thought for a moment that Sunderland had signed Giovinco Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
toontownman Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 oops, yeah sorry should have specified Toronto! Although that is arguably more crazy! Not least as he is also being linked to Arsenal at the same time. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sima Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Is this another player they are going to ridiculously build up and, when he doesn't meet their expectations, wonder what the fuck is going on? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unbelievable Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 They're overpaying as per usual, but if he keeps them up in the next few seasons it'll be more than worth it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stifler Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 To be honest Defoe is a great finisher, supply him and he'll score, Sunderland's problem will be to supply him. He'll be good enough to keep them up, maybe get a mid table-finish. It's worth noting that he's scored on every debut he's had. He'll be good enough to keep them up for the next 18 months or so. They seriously need to sort their scouting out though, loads of over rated domestic players going there and loads of barely capable foreign players. It's almost like they do their scouting via Match magazine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 Going to have to change their style massively to fit him in, probably win them a couple of games (1 against us) and keep them safe though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

brummie Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 A £14m package on a 32 year old is beyond fucking stupid. it's all very well that Sunderland fan quoted above tweeting "turned down club a, club b and club c for us", the reason is almost certainly that none of the others thought it'd be worth £14m to have a 32 year old play for you for three years. It reminds me of when Paul Merson was asked why he went to Boro, and he replied "the same reason anyone went to Boro back then - the money". Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillClinton Posted January 14, 2015 Share Posted January 14, 2015 What the f*** is Giovinco going to Toronto for? Assumed he was like 32 and going over there to call it quits, but 27? What a waste. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
