He's a decent player and has done well at Wednesday, and with the state Wednesday are in, some believing they are about to go pop, there will be a few of their players available for free. There will clubs with deeper pockets than us looking to cherry pick.Quote:

Ridiculous money for someone who had a good half seasonQuote:

Where are they getting all this Money for all these players. Their first team squad must be reaching about 40.
They are buying relatively cheap unknown players from abroad but badging them as hidden gems due to the analytics bull****. I have never seen that strategy work eg volume of players with zero British football experience shoehorned into a squad.Quote:

There is no clear strategy here. It’s bat****. It might work or partially work but it will cost them a fortune and as I say I have never seen a team make these type of transfers and be successful.
And remember Blooms interest is to buy players, play them and sell for profit.
Brian McLaughlin is reporting it on the BBC. Must have taken a while to type with one hand fumbling in his drawers and all the while fantasizing about Shankland signing and the Tony Bloom squillion pound investment.Quote:

SDG on Triantis
"I think Nectar was fantastic last season. He showed loads of improvement, and he was great to work with. He's a big part of what we did last season. He was a huge player for us. It was always going to be something that wouldn't happen overnight, purely because of how well he'd done. He's going to attract a lot of interest," Gray said, speaking from the club's Dutch training camp.
"It's a position we know we need to look at, that defensive-minded player. The conversations and the hard work are ongoing to see what we can do in that position, because you don't want to just be waiting around. We've got a clear plan of what we need to do. We're not just going to sit here and pin our hopes on a player deciding what he wants to do.
"Nothing will happen quickly because Sunderland's priority will be dealing with the Premier League and what that looks like, how they jump up from the Championship and the importance of trying to stay in the league."
Love the man. He’s spot on. Yet again.Quote:

Could be that we are losing patience with Triantis, hopefully we are looking at alternatives and not left with our dick in our hands againQuote:

A Jambo chum today said that their superior analytical data system is identifying players that will make them millions.Quote:

Deluded and stupid and I look forward to how this will be managed.
I really do think some think that those not needed will walk away and find other clubs.
I’m going to sit back and hopefully watch it implode.
There are, so I’ve been told, more top quality players inbound at the PBS.
That’s why you shouldn’t be chums with jambos. If you are it’s best to avoid any football discussion whatsoever.Quote:

The headline doesn't overly match the content tbh

Perfectly timed shot across the bow from SDG. I imagine Triantis has a week tops to make up his mind before Garvan Stewart provides detailed information on potential defensive midfielders.
I don't have any hearts supporting friends.Quote:

He’ll already have done this, we’ll know who our preferred alternatives are already.Quote:

I’m not sure he was a planned Triantis backup, as we missed out on him when Triantis was presumably very much plan AQuote:

Maybe wrong but get the impression the 2 clubs have agreed their side of things, but Triantis stalling a bit.Quote:

I’ll continue to bait him when they sign their next player from the Uzbekistan part time league because the analytics said it’s a goer [emoji2]
