That's based on his Liverpool years, not Sunderland. Yeah, fair enough. It’s more than likely a load of shite tbf Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRon Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 4 minutes ago, TheBrownBottle said: It’s fair enough if you don’t think he’s got owt to offer football-wise. I think we need reinforcements in midfield and if Howe wanted to bring him in I’m ok with that tbh. I'm hoping the Kalvin Phillips talk will materialise into our midfield signing for this winter. Don't even want to think about Henderson unless I'm forced to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheInfiniteOdyssey Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I think the Sunderland connection is a bit overblown in reality. Yes he’d get absolute pelters from them lot, but it’s completely inconsequential in the wider context. If he came in, performed well and made notable contributions, I don’t think he’d have a particularly rough time from our fans. I don’t see a move happening though.

I don’t think the same venom existed in the 1930s though. Makes sense for a pit yakker to be a Sunderland fan in the ‘30s rather than Newcastle in all fairness Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t either - though again, an ageing Paul Bracewell came in and did an excellent job for us. There’s scores of Mackems who’ve played well in B&W.

I don’t see it happening, but I think it would be a good move. Adds some experience to the midfield and another body. Question marks as to whether he can still run and play at the high energy that he’s know for, is probably the reason why it won’t happen. That and his wages. But I actually think that if this transfer happens and nobody in the league cares about the Saudi influence Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrownBottle Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 (edited) I would draw the line in the sand for Jordan Pickford mind. As in I’d have to do it for him, given the poor cunt couldn’t touch his own toes. Edited January 8 by TheBrownBottle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I'm a huge fan of Henderson, but he's finished now. Signing him to wind up the Mackems is worth it though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

sushimonster85 Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Longstaff isn't going anywhere as long as we continue to have issues not having enough home-grown players to register a full squad for European competitions. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It definitely makes less sense as a short term move, but as a long term move, with Miley's ascendance, Tonali returning next season, and Longstaff's recent form I don't know where he fits into PIF's lofty ambitions Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ponsaelius Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I wouldn't want to sell Longstaff but the issue with FFP is it actually encourages clubs to sell homegrown players for accounting purposes. A big fee for Longstaff (25 mill say) would free up breathing space for a load of signings. There's no doubt the club are going to consider the sale of pretty much all of our players depending on the interest and fees involved. That's the reality of where we're at.

No they couldnt. Yep, right now it would be stupidity, but in the summer him and Miggy are probably our only players we could move on for a fee that we would be happy to lose, possibly Wilson too but his is more injury related than quality.
