Hound seems our friends from Brighton have also noticed Paddy McNair is a handy player. Apparently had a bid rejected.

Sunderland paid £5.5m, he's one of the few players that came out of last season with any credit and is still only 23 and Brighton offered £2m.
Considering they supposedly only bid £3m for Moore, they really do like taking the piss.

It’s a nasty tactic employed by many clubs to try and unsettle players. Sheffield Wednesday attempted the same with bidding £500k(!) for Mulgrew

Hound Not sure whether Sunderland need to sell since the takeover, unless again like Villa it would be for FFP
McNair certainly won’t want to play in Div1 though if a Prem team are in for him
Winston Biscuit https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/sunderlands-running-costs-scary-must-14721022League One - with Stewart Donald revealing the club’s ‘scary’ running costs equal those of seven or eight third tier clubs combined.
Ellis Short cleared the club’s £125m debt as part of the deal that saw him sell to Donald in a £40m deal earlier this month but that still left the new owner with a lossmaking club which costs a small fortune to run - even before player wages are factored in.
And aside from the comparison with the running costs of other League One sides, Donald also says Sunderland’s cost-base is higher than the entire turnover of 20 teams in League Two.

Back-to-back relegations will see club’s TV revenue plummet 98 per cent next season, when compared to their earnings in the Premier League the season before last.
Donald has already begun cutting costs, with a number of staff members leaving the club last week either through redundancy, retirement, or leaving for other jobs, while senior executives who are staying on will take a significant pay cut.
Asked about the club’s financial situation, Donald said: “Obviously the numbers didn’t surprise me because I had them to formulate an offer but was I surprised how bad they were?
“Yes. You look at Sunderland, the fanbase, the stadium, the potential, you think it should be functioning pretty well.
“Then you look at the cost-base and you find that excluding players, running this club costs more than 20 teams in League Two turnover, and that’s before we pay a footballer.
“That is quite scary. You could put together seven or eight teams in League One and that would cost the same as the cost-base here, before you pay a player.
“So when you go into League One you think you’ve got a massive financial advantage, well we’ve actually got a financial burden

Our opening offer for Aluko was £1m. We take the piss all the time. You don't know if you don't ask...

Maneki Neko how in gods name did we spend so much last year and yet still be in need of two strikers, a physical midfielder, a winger, a left back, a right back, two centre backs and a keeper?

Because we don't?
One striker to add to Bod, Novakovich, Yann + 1 of Smith/Loader
Midfielder - yep 100% we do
Winger - We have Aluko, Barrow, McCleary, Popa and Meite. Though I can see the logic in trying to bring someone else in.
Left back - Obita and Richards
Right Back - Gunter and Yiadom
Centre Backs - Moore, Ilori, McShane and Blackett. Could argue for 1 more. def not 2
Keeper - Mannone is fine.

Elmparkoid We already have three. Imagining that a decent Striker is on the radar and that someone like Maddison may join, I would love to see a couple of loans of top Premiership trainees joined, specifically with pace and/or technique. does anyone have a name we might look at?
