Sunderland are being very, very weird. Sold Pantillimon who last season was great for them, has only really dropped off this season & is shipped off. Then replaced by a career back-up player? It's almost as if they want to be relegated
if pants played 1 more game for them they wouldve had to have given him an improved contract

Being linked to 18 year old Renato Sanches a midfielder from Benfica, has a £60m buyout clause:eek: but were going to try and sign him for half of that.

“There is no need for the Bundesliga to be shy. From a football perspective, it’s just as good as the Premier League. We have superb stadiums filled with passionate fans, the average attendance is much higher, we play great football and we have first-class academies.

I don't think anyone has ever argued against that? German football is great to watch but purely in terms on revenue you have 3 German clubs in the top 20

  1. Bayern
  2. Dortmund
  3. Schalker
Compared to England

  1. Man United
  2. Man City
  3. Arsenal
  4. Chelsea
  5. Liverpool
  6. Tottenham
  7. Newcastle
  8. Everton
  9. West Ham

English clubs can bully any others financially for talent except for the very very top clubs in each league and that's the major difference.

Can we transfer agents and journalists?
Would be nice to see transparent writing for a change, not all this he may go there may not rubbish.

Greedy agents like Jorge Mendes moving their stars every year or two can GAGF too

Supposedly if he played one more game he'd have earned an improved contract and a fee might have gone City's way. Given how owners in the NE like to run clubs on shoestrings, wouldn't surprise me! :p

Think he's going to be their third choice.
Yeah, just cover and to help out the young idiot they have plus the Arsenal hack. Was always going to be third choice.

Didn't know there was that sort of clause, but surely they would be better paying it than taking a negative 25mil pound plus hit that comes with relegation. Not that I care if that happens :p

When it comes to Sunderland (and other north east clubs like us), conventional wisdom usually doesn't apply. :D

“I would like to move in this transfer window and have told them [Shakhtar] that. They have received a very good offer and they are working on a solution. But if I don’t go now then I will leave in the summer.

“After six years in Europe and with Shakhtar we are ready to move and I have spoken to my wife and daughter.”

“It is my desire to move to a big league and I know that the English league is very strong. I am ready and I know that I will grow up a lot there. I am aware that two big clubs such as Liverpool and Chelsea are interested but I haven’t given my word to either of them.

“I am not ruling out other leagues but I do want to play in the Premier League. In my mind, it is the strongest in the world. I want a challenge and to further my career there. My aim is to move to a big club so that I can well there and get a place in the Brazil squad. Everyone knows that it is hard to achieve and I need to leave here to achieve that goal.”


Right from the horses mouth. We might actually be a shot to sign him. But I cant let myself believe it. Only when he is holding up a Liverpool shirt on the official website. Then and only then.

Speaking to Brazilian newspaper Globo, Teixeira said: “I would like to move in this transfer window and have told them [Shakhtar] that. They have received a very good offer and they are working on a solution.

The 26-year-old from Duque de Caxias, a suburb of Rio de Janeiro, added: “It is my desire to move to a big league and I know that the English league is very strong.

"I am ready and I know that I will grow up a lot there. I am aware that two big clubs such as Liverpool and Chelsea are interested but I haven’t given my word to either of them.
