That in many ways is the toughest one to take or understand since Yann. We’re absolutely decimated with injuries, Aribo is worth at least twice that already and you could double that figure come the end of the season. It’s utterly depressing what’s going on with us at the moment. And what’s worrying is only we seem to be aware of it. The media hasn’t really picked up on the way we’re being dismantled and dicked around. Time for more protests
just because an offer is made doesnt mean a player can't refuse the transfer. dont get me wrong i cant imagine they would want to stay in this madhouse, unless of course they are aware the takeover will happen and believe in lee bowyers plan for promotion. wishful thinking i know!

Having a new contract offer withdawn then re-offered at half the wages is unlikely to endear him to the club.
GK to push Phillips RB to cover Sollys inevitable injury LB to cover Paper Page CB to allow for any injury or suspension (Pearce is injury prone) LM as we only have Fosu RM as we only have Marshall CM to replace Forster-Caskey CM to cover Aribo ST to push Taylor ST to replace Ajose
RD will not bother, may get the 3 players Bowyer need, the rest we will have to wait until end of September when the injured players are hopefully back, unless (?) the Aussies takeover and get us some loans
Our summer transfer dealing has been stuffed by the uncertainty. Even now if you were a potential target, you have no idea what sort of club you’ll be signing for.
Doubt we’d sign 10 all summer under any owner. Dijksteel, Vetokele etc once fit will be seen as the players filling some of those gaps.
Sunderland signed 11 new players this season, reckon they aren't the only ones either.
Dijksteel, Vetokele, Clarke and Reeves plug 4 gaps, Lapslie and Reeco may fill another 2, would still need a GK, CB, LB and a striker who can also play wide to fill the squad IMO
only real talent we have left. If we sell him then might as well turn out the lights. How anyone wishing to buy us can stand by & watch this happen astounds me.
Or the Aussies won't buy until the outgoing expense goes down!?

Yeah and we did under Powell that year, but we had a lot more gaps at that point. I’d agree we need 4-6, but not really any more than that.
After being reportedly screwed about over a new contract I would be surprised if Aribo turned down a transfer.
Aribo needs to stay and play week in week out to improve he's all round play! Don't get he wrong yesterday he was very good but he does brilliant skill turns passes it and oh!!

False economy imo. Football is a bit of an unique business. Come Friday you effectively have to play half the season with what you've got - yes, loans allowed up to end of the month but look where that has got us in the past - any decent ones over the past 4 years ?? more rubbish than good I would say. Therefore June & July are THE most important months, and we've wasted them. Rich arabs could take us over next weekend & they will be able to do very little about our season until January, and by then it could be too late.
Its not rocket science is it ?? or do you really expect to let all the best talent leave, only replace half of last years squad & then only with has beens & crocks and then be able to challenge for promotion ?
Agree. Selling Aribo for 1 million (or less) would probably be the worst piece of business by any club outside PL this window. It would decrease the value of the club at least 5-10 million. As opposed to tie up our biggest asset with a decent contract.
And Bowyers comments will make it very hard for him to stay in charge with Aribo gone like this.
I just cant believe this is happening. If so, there must be others to blame. RD cant think he is getting the same price for half the product - in this case the thinnest squad in League One.

I think our two best players last season were Amos & Da Silva. Do you disagree ?

The thinnest squad in League One.
I disagree with all of this.
Me too. 5-10 million? Are u having a larf?
No. I believe 750K for Aribo is a laugh. And the devaluation of the club not being able to compete to get out of this league of course is a lot bigger.
Stay away from the valley on sat the only way this cunt will fuck off
A few £20 admission fees mean f.all to a billionaire mate.
He swallows alot more on running costs (ground & player wages) each month to give a toss what a couple of hundred boycotters (who will only turn up when we're in the playoff semi-final) do.

It's been quite an exciting few months for them.
Shame nobody buys their newspaper anymore.

Still need to bring in:
GK to push Phillips
RB to cover Sollys inevitable injury
LB to cover Paper Page
CB to allow for any injury or suspension (Pearce is injury prone)
LM as we only have Fosu
RM as we only have Marshall
CM to replace Forster-Caskey
CM to cover Aribo
ST to push Taylor
ST to replace Ajose
Fat chance though
