CB Fry Posted 27 January, 2017 Share Posted 27 January, 2017 We're keeping the CB signing well off the radar. Stealth mode. Keep an eye on the Potters Heron bookings.

Pass the Dutchie Posted 27 January, 2017 Share Posted 27 January, 2017 Rafael Benitez doesn't want Tim Krul back at Newcastle now that he's recovered from injury during a loan spell at Ajax.

Selling a player to a relegation rival no matter how many toys he was flung out of his pram is just crazy. Not just them either - Hull are doing the same although put up a good display last night. Jim White will be happy - looks it'll be the busiest deadline day on a January for years with plenty of last ditch trolley dashes. Always risky - Niasse the classic example but Henri Camara in 2005 nearly kept us up so it can be a positive boost. Saints are clearly looking for CB and urgently need one if VVD prognosis poor. ST looks close to completion though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tajjuk Posted 27 January, 2017 Share Posted 27 January, 2017 German international, won the league with Stuttgart, but seems to have gone down hill since his injury though seems to have been very highly rated at times.

Foxstone Posted 27 January, 2017 Share Posted 27 January, 2017 Tasci was a bit injury prone, missed the 2010 world cup because of this I seem to recall but was a more than decent defender at that time. Not sure how its gone for him recently though. Still for a loan or £4m could do worse I think.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SNSUN Posted 27 January, 2017 Share Posted 27 January, 2017 Crystal Palace agreed to pay an initial £14m for van Aanholt. Paniiiiiic. £14 million for Van Aanholt is insane. Sure he gets a few goals from left back but defensively he's poor. There's a reason Sunderland struggle defensively. Sunderland have the better end of that deal, especially if they invest the money wisely. As for Palace, they seem to love throwing huge money at players. They overpaid for Benteke too. As for the Mariano Diaz link for us, I'd never heard of him, but at first glance he looks to have a promising future with a decent pedigree. However if the club think Gabbiadini can offer us something, I'm behind it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta love it. £14 million for Van Aanholt is insane. Sure he gets a few goals from left back but defensively he's poor. There's a reason Sunderland struggle defensively. I try not to spend time analysing Sunderland's defence but given they've been awful for years it wouldn't surprise me if Van Aanholt could do better with proper coaching from an Allardyce type.

The German who won 14 caps for his country between 2008-10 won the 2006-07 with his first club VFB Stuttgart and played over 200 games before joining the Russian club in 2013 although due to an injury in training it would be several months before he made his debut."

Dangermouth Posted 27 January, 2017 Share Posted 27 January, 2017 "Made" is past tense. No it isn't. It's actually a future conditional and could be substituted by 'were to make' or 'would make'. Whether it means to say it or not is moot given that most people can't speak English but it actually says that he is injured and so would not be available to make a debut until such time (in the future) that he is no longer injured.
