Nice windfall for Brum & team Bellingham. 

 

This is RTG tier of bitter

Jobe Bellingham's transfer may give them a slim chance of avoiding relegation, think I'll entertain the bookies see what price I can get.

They have a profit of nearly £5 million when you take into account the 15% sell on fee and the fee of around £20 million for Le Fee. They have also sold Watson for £11 million, so a £16 million sales profit.
 

However, as I have said before, they will have had to pay increased wages and bonuses to players, for achieving promotion. Ipswich were reported to have paid out £16 million last season, so I would say in all probability, Sunderland will be paying out very similar to what Ipswich did.

 

£16 million profit sales - £16 million to players = £0, so basically no money made and already two players down

They’ve suddenly gone from the 4th best team in the Championship to a top 10 Premier League side in the space of 2 weeks.

What a colossal waste of money.  Betting on West Ham coming in with £50m in two seasons time.

Thick racist cunt strikes again. Better in the two matches against them, what about the 46 matches over the season, when you were 24 points worse

I don't know how someone who spends so much time discussing football can be so fucking dense when it comes to the basics.

Shame you can't play Burnley in the other 36 games, you thick mackem cunt.

[GeordieDazzler]

I must have missed Palace sacking their manager the same way he missed them being 13 points clear of the drop by Christmas

It must be rubbish to sell a key player after promotion. At the same time, he's not particularly good. Decent fee but then a bit goes to Birmingham.

Was speaking to a Mackem the other day and he rated him highly considering his age. Must have something about him other than his name to get that move for that fee.

They've done well to get that much out of Dortmund for him I must admit. Only problem is that they're now significantly richer but much weaker, this means they have the double headache of having to replace important players (relatively speaking) and other clubs will know they've just bagged a load of cash to spend. The prices they're going to be quoted will be increased - it's not a Sunderland specific problem, it's just the way things work, all clubs doing similar would be in the same position. Can't complain about clubs taking advantage by raising prices when they've just done the exact same thing to Dortmund, can't have it both ways

See my post above, they're not significantly richer on the two players sold. In fact, they're are about equal currently and two players down already

Dortmund have had their pants pulled down, big overspend that.

Fair play how quick Jobe got himself out. Sure a few others will be looking on with envy 

[Jewel]

Mug deal for Dortmund. They've done that transfer with the expectation that they can sell him on for 80-100m in 2 years time. Absolutely no chance that happens. They've been had big time.

I think the fact he was away negotiating getting away from the club as soon as he possibly could, despite promotion, speaks volumes about what he thought about them. Doesn't reflect particularly well on him either imo. Other clubs will just raise their prices regardless of the wage thing too tbh, they'll all ask top dollar now

That plus the £15m Brighton paid for another player gives them around £45m, Everton are apparently after one for around £15m as well.

Are they now going to live vicariously through him for the rest of his career, like with all those trophies Henderson won for Sunderland while at Liverpool?

Genuine question as I must have missed something - how are they not richer on Bellingham being sold when they only paid £3m for him?

Bearing in mind they will see it as he contributed to them getting promoted and will offset it against that.

Like an overbearing mother with dance kids

[Kid Icarus]

English tax and paying for the surname a bit imo. He'll probably do well there.

[STM]

I think he looked at decent player when I've watched him. If he succeeds in Dortmund, that price won't look much.

 

From Sunderlands point of view, their issue is finding players of sufficient quality that want to play for Sunderland.

 

They are going to get their arses kicked every week. They'd be better off accepting their fate and investing any money they have in young talented players who will make them stronger in the medium to long term.

And Pickford's better than Shilton.
