I am really really worried about our severe lack of transfer activity now. It seems we've put all our eggs in one basket with Borini and since he blatantly doesn't want to join we are left with no clear targets. There are players like Gylfi Sigurdsson on the market who looks to be on his way to either Palace or Swansea for 8mil, why are we not in for him?! He's the exact sort of player we've required for years! A creative midfielder who will score 8+ goals a season

Balotelli going for 15m
Hernandez for 11m
Eto'o for free
Rose for 5m
Lennon for 5m
Payet for 7m
Sow for 12m
Emenike for 13m

This shows how stupid 14m for Borini is

Agree0 Disagree0

Do you reckon we could afford balotelli's 5 million a year wage demand
no point in speculation don't think gus comes on here for transfer help
wish he would though

Agree0 Disagree0

No haha
I'm not saying go for ballotelli
I'm just comparing the ability with the price
If ballo is worth 15m, Borini is worth 7m or if Borini is worth 14m, ballo is worth 30m etc

So, Borini (understandably) does not have Sunderland at the top of his transfer destination list and Fiorentina want to keep Alonso after he has impressed them. There goes our only two solid transfer rumours!

Realistically Alonso and Borini are part of the squad that only just avoided relegation last season so no real loss if they don't come.

The issue however is who will come instead of them? No strong rumours (except maybe Rose) and that might just be paper talk. I was not one for worrying as I believed there was plenty of time (and probably still is) but with other clubs picking up 'English' targets, and our squad not having an actual starting 11 so close to the season start, my concerns grow.

'Keep the Faith' as they say!

Can anyone out there explain to me what Congerton does on a daily basis because when there is money involved he doesn't seem capable of completing a delivery note never mind a transfer, are we truly being patient or is he just incompetent?
In relation to recent affairs
Surely Borini is only worth having if he is as committed as last season and I can't see how this can be going forward - I feel he has lost an incredible amount of goodwill from the fans over recent days and has some bridge building to do if he does come but perhaps it would be best all round if we moved on - also there are two proven left backs out there who have performed well for us - we need to sort this position out quickly - I believe ALONSO offers much needed height in our squad but rose offers far more going forward -
In truth I would be happy with either, but with Congerton leading the charge I wouldn't be surprised if we end up with neither!
So in summary mr Congerton Can I advise we either move on - or just even just be decisive and make a move - and start completing instead of talking!

As a starter for 10 Mutch from Cardiff at 5 mil looks good to me and would be perfect between Gomez and Johnston.

God so many different posts about Borini!! Wish our fans would just back off, ignore the media, and wait for an official announcement from the club. Yes he would be a good signing but not exactly a world beater and only if he wants to come and play for us.

It would be nice to get Alonso signed up and I also think we should push for Rose as well as we still lack cover in defence plus he offers a left side midfield option as well.

More CB's also required so hopefully there are talks behind the scenes going on. Look at Caulker, papers have him signed up at Palace or QPR for two weeks now but nothing confirmed there so it's not just us!

PS, Micah Richards is available for £6-7m or on loan so would offer RC/CB. Exactly the type of player we need so I would go all out for him as well instead of Virgini
