  • I just don’t get who’s agreeing to any signings, who’s negotiating contracts, who’s making bleedin decisions!

    Why would Roland fork out for anything when we’re supposedly being sold?

    Unless........

    Reckon we'll announce a double signing tomorrow. Taylor & Lua Lua.

    North upper season tickets sold out by 4pm on the back of the news.

    Wherever Taylor was 2 hours ago was 21* out, sounds much more like London than Sunderland.

    Sorry, this is from a friend of a friend who works for a fanzine:

    ‘Lyle Taylor cancelled an interview with AFC podcast as he is going to Portugal on Sunday...’

    Isn’t that where our boys are going?

    I can't contain my excitement. I'm totally whelmed.
  • Decent energetic striker that has scored goals in this division before and continues to show desire to improve. Would be very happy with the signing

    looking at his stats he only really scored for AFC Wimbledon.......the rest of the time he was pants. If he does sign I hope LB has got someone else in mind to play upfront coz I can't see him getting 20 goals next season.

    All I'm saying is Lyle Taylor led my Charlton team to a record breaking League One title in Football Manager this year.

    Thank you Mr Driesen, we'll get him signed immediately.

    We're also off to Portugal and are in the market for a striker (although Tom Bradshaw has been named as our main target).

    Curiouser and curiouser.

    whose?

    Guardian:

    Ademola Lookman is to hold “crunch talks” with Everton this week with his future very much in the air. His club want to keep him but aren’t sure if they’ll want to play him, and he is demanding to actually get his boots dirty. Should they decide to part ways RB Leipzig, Southampton and Spurs will all try to sign him.

    Sell-on clause for us/Roland?

    If we do sign Taylor then I have my reservations but am impressed we've managed to get him

    If he chose Bristol Rovers over us I'd be worried about the situation at the Valley even more, and with him picking us over Sunderland makes me wonder if they're not going to be like Wigan or Blackburn next season

    Could be about first team football. Pretty much guaranteed with us but at Sunderland ? Agree that choosing another league one club over us would be a real concern.

    I heard from a Mackem fan that we are offering more dosh than Sunderland. The new owner of Sunderland is worried about the high wage bill. He is desperately trying to shift the high earners.
    Here is more from the Sunderland Echo.

    Dunno... Sunderland didnt exactly have experienced Strikers in the latter stages of the season - Ashley Fletcher (loan) | Joel Asoro |Josh Maja were their only options after Grabban left with the latter two being from their Academy
