You may be right.... But fair play to you for at least not exonerating Poch from his role in this scenario.

TBF, I don't remember that part in the book either, not saying it wasn't in there but I think something like that would have stuck out. Or the way it was approached...
Hhhhhmm..... Dishonest representation of our managers words? Now where have i seen that before? ....The tabloids? Yes, of course, but i'm thinking somewhat closer to home....
Being in someone's plans are pretty broad. Doesn't automatically mean the plan is a first team spot. I guess people are in his plans until they're not. Maybe he was offered a player he felt had more potential and as a result of that deal is moving him on. Maybe his plan was to get rid of him all along... I''m clearly looking for more in this than there is.
It doesn’t Maja we ain’t signing nobody breh
It's sh!t mate.
How can we be closely watching a bloke about to sign for another team?
Closely following the news at ten more like.

Thanks for that.
I love Allan only because he is a beast for me on Pro Evo - as good as AM/DM/RB/LB - for this reason I think we should offer £100,000,001

That is the only thing I can think of. Perhaps our guys think that Kazaiah Sterling is just as good, and would score the same number of goals for Sunderland, and hence don't want to knock him down the pecking list or dent his morale.
Would be a joy to have both an Alan and a Malcolm in the team. Get em both in. Then a Nigel or a Barry next year perhaps.
Levy doesn't want anyone smaller than himself at the club, it's policy.
But I do think it has become an issue. Making Poch the “manager” as opposed to head coach with him as de facto head of recruiting instead of a committee system with others having more input into transfers has seen a slight shift in our transfer business that has created a log jam.
Having a policy geared more toward value and inherent value retention, and/or a certain age profile (Rose, Walker, Trippier, Alli, Dier, Eriksen, Lamela) has been replaced with a more manager driven “now” policy.
When that doesn’t work out, for whatever reason, they are harder to shift, because instead of playing 5-10m we’ve paid 25-30m and instead of being on 30-50k they are on 90k.
So we buy Sissoko (50m fee/wage), Aurier (50m f/w) when we already had KWP, Moura (50m f/w) Llorente (30m f/w) when we already had Janssen.
Not fabulous business.
Agree with that wholeheartedly. It's not great that we're not signing those type of players anymore. It's worked for us generally and when it didn't, we hadn't blown a load of cash and could offload the players. Totally agree.
Hence why Maja, Bowen etc appeal greatly to me.
He’s 28 isn’t he?
Lot of dough but pound for pound he’s probably the best all round 6/8 hybrid midfielder in Europe right now.
I posted his statsbomb radar in the Sissoko thread a couple of weeks ago. Insane stats ( and I’m pretty sure the statsbomb fellas are doing work for PSG).
