Transfer Rumour Dan Neil (4 Viewers)

[shmmeee]

Don’t think we need another CM in this profile tbh. A Torp and Rudi rotation/upgrade yes. Hell even a Grimes upgrade, but Eccles and Allen are fine for the odd game Grimes might be out.

If Sunderland think they can do better than Dan Neil then that’s what we should be aiming for too.

They are in the Prem and we are not! We need to get there first

I can see us opting for a CM because the Sheaf sale wasn’t planned. Dan Neil just seem to fit a profile we’d actually be looking at. Right now, I think it’s probably better to consider Eccles an AM and without any wingers, Rudoni and Eccles may end playing more and more.

As per Jimmy’s source we’ve looked at a European CM.

Yeah makes sense, Sheaf was part of the plans until very late.

We must be a massively attractive option for all sorts of players now. European talents wanting a break in the UK, older fringe Prem players wanting a short term challenge and probably the pick of Prem loans when you consider how well our coaches have done and what a unique experience we can offer a youngster.

He only turned 24 a fortnight ago, so theres still time for him to develop, even though hes already captained Sunderland and played 200 games in his career.
I'd trust Lampard to make him a premier league player by next August, and at the very least hed be a decent player to have on the bench.

Thought he was awful last night, bullet dodged

Wasn’t there a rumour that we’re still after him? He’s looked crap when I’ve seen him. I’d hope we are after better.

Crying over not signing Dan fucking Neil is a new low for this fanbase

Never understood the clammer (although can understand to some extent the trepidation from fans pre signing Onyeka).

But honestly, he's not one iota better than Eccles.

I heard that. I’d be disappointed.

Although it’s likely we’re going to be linked with every player from all over the place; from Dan Neil to Bernardo Silva (that rumour starts here), to Manuel Neuer to some bloke from Peterborough.

And quite frankly I’m all for it.

DN played last night for Ipswich and looked underwhelming

Imagine if we'd sign Dan Neil instead of FTT

Ive had DoD on ignore for ages sorry.

Dan Neil is probably good enough for squad depth but I don’t see him as a starter.

Yeah the more the merrier. Though there’s some on here that get very upset if we’re linked with someone and someone says they don’t want them. All good fun

Even more fun when they are proven to be a great signing and the person who said they didnt want them doubles down they are overrated

apart from when you reply to me

I really hope we dont go for neil , too lightweight for me

I can't see why we would. Eccles and Torp are better and i'm not sure both of them will stay so signing Neil would be completely pointless. Pretty sure its drivel.

 

[JSL]

To be fair, in his favour he is young and would be on a free and could be sold on for a fairly decent fee later down the line

I'd deffo take Onien off there hands he has more about him than just clogging the oppo?

But is he any better than Lati?

Wingy - you've started talking to yourself mate. Check that you've taken the right tablets in the morning

What do you think though Harry?

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

What do you think though Harry?

Think O'Nien is more aggressive, but also a loose cannon. I would as soon keep Lati as a squad player (rather than sign O'Nien). Plus Lati gives continuity with regards to morale. That said, we probably need an upgrade - just wouldn't be O'Nien for me.

He’s a good player but there’s a reason he’s got absolutely nowhere near the Sunderland team this year, despite being their captain.

I’m hoping our scouting network extends beyond the Sunderland reserve team.
