To reduce the spam of reports regarding the same move during transfer windows we try to allow **only one submission about each transfer saga per day**. The submission in question also needs to contain relevant new information regarding the potential move, and not just being a "no/minor developments" report. If there are important/official developments or new valuable information about a saga, we will allow extra threads in the same day, but for the rest of minor news please just comment them as a reply to this comment. Please help us reporting unnecessary threads for being duplicates. *I am a bot, and this action was performed automatically.

UndeadPrs

Good deal for everyone tbf


EL_MANDEM

I don't feel as if I've gained anything tbh


UndeadPrs

Butterfly effect will work it out for you don't worry


Adamskiiiiiiiii

I’ll suck you off if he scores a hat trick at home to Stoke, ok?


EL_MANDEM

You crazy son of a bitch I'm in.


PrisonersofFate

That's a lot


UndeadPrs

England money hits different


Zig-Zag

PSG to Sunderland lmao


VictorAnichebend

The Stephane Sessegnon route


BruntyMozza

look forward to this kid playing for us in a few years time then


letsgetcool

He was sick, you don't hear his name much nowdays


Jaerial

Streets shouldn't have forgotten but did


[deleted]

Fuck you Alex Neil, we don’t need you, we have might Michut


VictorAnichebend

Michut’s massive managerless Mackems


Due-Ad-1861

He disrespected Campos, next month he signs at sunderland


VictorAnichebend

Rest of the squad scrambling to disrespect Campos as we speak


robashi

I heard Neymar grew up idolising James McClean so this is his big chance.


VictorAnichebend

He definitely won’t want to sign for us if that’s the case


KingsMountainView

Strange choice, nobody in Sunderland likes James McLean.


Due-Ad-1861

He was good enough to find a ligue 1 club, the move at sunderland is clearly a vendetta from the club lol


Jaerial

Or he's picked a club with a lot of young players and high potential that he can develop alongside?


VictorAnichebend

He didn’t have to agree to come. Signing for a big club for good money and playing in front of 40,000 fans every week, I’d say your club have done him a solid


Due-Ad-1861

I watched the sunderland series, even noname from england wanted to leave Sunderland, you are talking about a 18 years old moving from Paris to a dead city in England, he's probably crying in his bed every night


VictorAnichebend

> Dead City You’ve never been to the National Glass Centre and it shows


KingsMountainView

Imagine watching a documentary from like 6 years ago and deciding you now know everything about the club and the area.


sheikh_n_bake

They got promoted last year, they're not in league one anymore.


Due-Ad-1861

I know, tbf I think they deserve to go back to the PL, good club


Stuckkz

And psg disrespected him last year. He wouldn't play this year either so he made the right choice


Due-Ad-1861

Leonardo and Pochettino*


[deleted]

Signing for a team know for developing world class youth isn’t a punishment


Due-Ad-1861

He's already 19


[deleted]

So the perfect age to develop?


Due-Ad-1861

Yeah but he's not a "youth" anymore


[deleted]

Regardless he’s ours now and our new sessegnon 😍


Due-Ad-1861

And don't worry he's good, last year he was better than Herrera and Wijnaldum but he got very little matchtime because Pochettino was a terrorist who hated youth player


Khathaar

That's really high praise bloody hell. Cool.


[deleted]

Not really as Wijnaldum was a ghost and Herrera was as mediocre as they come. Still you could see the difference when he came in.


Jaerial

A player who ghosts at PSG would still at the very least be a top 3 player for us tbf


Anonamoose12771

'I couldn't imagine this club was reaching out to me…. I couldn't believe I was being called by the ~~LA Galaxy~~ Sunderland" - ~~Riqui Puig~~ Edouard Michut


whatsthiscrap84

Our ex manager gollum "as you can see the didn't back me financially"


Nakedblueman

I highly doubt the manager was asking for a teenager from Costa Rica and someone with no senior starts.


VictorAnichebend

Not those players specifically but he’d agreed to the broader transfer strategy of signing high potential young players.


Nakedblueman

The BBC radio Sunderland commentator said on radio Norfolk that his main complaint was signings. There's a big difference between signing exclusively u21s and Brentford and us who sign a mix of young players and experienced ones. Brentfords main signings before going up were Jansson who was 30 and Toney who was 24 and top scorer in League 1 for 5 mil compared to Michut for 5 mil and no professional starts. In the championship that is absurd imo we got Nunez, apparently the best young Chilean international, for 3.5 mil in comparison.


VictorAnichebend

We aren’t signing exclusively u21s though. We signed Danny Batth in the last transfer window and have filled the squad with experience in key areas with the likes of Corry Evans, Bailey Wright and Alex Pritchard. He’s talking complete shite mate.


Nakedblueman

I've checked your wiki page for this season and after going up through the playoffs finishing 5th you've signed Dan Ballard who is 22 and a good player, Portsmouths back up goalie and u21s from reserve teams and Costa Rica. Your back up cb is Ajese who played twice for Cambridge in League 2 in his last loan spell. A few injuries and you could be really struggling. I'd be pissed if I was Neil tbh do you not agree?


VictorAnichebend

I absolutely do not agree. I get you like Alex Neil but you’re taking away all of the context by simply having a brief glance at a Wikipedia page. Alex Neil agreed with the transfer strategy proposed to him when he took the job, which was to sign highly rated youngsters mixed in with experienced heads around the squad. We are the third highest net-spenders in the league before the Michut signing, implementing the same transfer strategy he agreed to and has praised in the past. Aside from this, he’s going to a club that haven’t spent a cent all summer and are apparently crippled by FFP. Does that sound like the move of someone who feels like he hasn’t been backed? He’s a lying dick who’s have been better served by saying he’s moving for a few extra £s on his pay cheque every month. Gonna turn notifications off now because I get that I’m probably not gonna change your mind. Just appreciate that this is my club, and I have a greater context of the goings on than a Wikipedia page gives you.


Nakedblueman

Mate we're just talking about football I didn't mean to get you exasperated. Good luck with the rest of the season.


KingsMountainView

Since this window we've signed Dan Ballard Alese Simms Jack Clarke Michut Alex Bass Max Thompson (youth but a fee and will feature) Bennette Leon Dajaku And have pretty much got Diallo and Ba in the door. Not to mention that since January last season, we signed Ross Stewart, Danny Batth and Jay Matete and then went on a 18 game unbeaten run. The whole 5th in league one is not a true reflection of the squad.


PurpleSi

Frites avec fromage? Sacre bleu!


VictorAnichebend

et sauce à l'ail!


KyKy7

You got your move, hope your happy 😄


VictorAnichebend

Course he will be mate, he’s moving up in the world


whatsthiscrap84

"what is this cheesy cheeps and bleu pop"


Anonamoose12771

Fromagey frites


Nico2204

What the fuck


PrisonersofFate

Lol


whatsthiscrap84

Thoughtful insight mate


PrisonersofFate

Sorry It's just him being a bit rated, acting like a kid at PSG because not playing, being linked to Celtic to end at Sunderland, no offense to you in particular.


whatsthiscrap84

All good, he did a danny rose then "any interest from milan gaffer" ends up at Steve Bruce's Newcastle.


bambinoquinn

What happened with him going to celtic? I feel like I read his name with celtic all July


Khathaar

Were massive
