they must spend, they need to spend 100 million to at least have a chance of survival.

 

i hope they splash the cash tbh , its only going to end one way if not this season then the next then they will go bust 

[joeyt]

Hopefully goes the same way as their last record signing from France

[Scoot]

They beat off competition from  Leeds so the competition was strong.

 

I'm sure at some point in the near future he'll have turned down the mags too.

Out of curiosity how much did Dreyfus pay for them? Must be a hell of an ROI for him.

They were valued at £40m when he bought them. Who knows what he paid, considering the guys before him got the club for nothing, and were desperate to get out, you’d think he might have got a good deal.

The big test of his ownership commitment will be that now they are in the Premier League, how long he will hold onto them when an American consortium will no doubt come looking.

Already missing 8 games due to African nations I think ?

Dunno why Dortmund didn't buy this lad instead of Bellingham 

[Ketsbaia]

Feel like these might've got their act together in terms of transfer policy tbh. Certainly compared to the past, when they only sold one player for profit.

 

 

Shopping in France just seems smart.

It's not quite as comical as Giacherini in mackem twang but there's definitely shades of it in Habib Diarra.

[Optimistic Nut]

He's basically going to have to do in the PL what Jobe did in the Championship for them. Might end up cracking, might be shite never seen him play.

Probably heard the massive lads fans were interested and thought they couldn't compete with them.

They signed NDong from France for a record deal and he was dreadful

These cunts actually going to stay up?

Nope

[madras]

I'm half hoping they have a decentish start as their current odds on survival are shit.

[nufc4eva]

I predict the Nissan overtime to start in September when they are rock bottom and been hammered a few times. They may sign a few good players but untried at this level and they still have a load of shit unless they replace 8 or 9

Where are the survival odds? I can only find ‘to be relegated’?

I seriously don't see how some random from France is getting ya shit together like, its just what normal clubs do. This guy is nothing special at all, £30m gets you average today and his performances as said on here are nothing to write home about, nothing to fret about but you never know

if the relegation odds are 1/2 , survival will be around 13/8 mate 

[McCormick]

Don’t know much about him but he seems quite highly rated. 

[loki679]

Fair play to them, at least they're giving it a go and not just banking the cash.

The odds will be worse for survival if they get off to a good start.

But they will not be in the Premier league next April/May.

He only started 3 of Strasbourg's last 8 Ligue 1 games. I know that's not the be-all-and-end-all, but they'll do well to get their money back if they have the season everyone outside of Wearside thinks they're going to have.

 

 

 

In fairness he played every game until an ankle injury kept him out for a few games - there’s little doubt he was a Strasbourg first choice XI player.

It’s not a smart fee they’ve paid tbh
