Summer Transfer Window Thread 2016

[Benji]

I find it odd it's deadline day, we're reigning champions, and yet we've somehow only just today managed to go into loss rather than credit on our transfers in/out this summer. Not complaining, it's rather nice to be honest.

Balls, I was hoping we'd keep him. Still, good luck to him.

A complication with Yann M’Vila. He has signed a pre-contract deal to rejoin Sunderland in January - when his Rubin Kazan contract ends. But the Russians want £7m for him to return to Wearside now - and the question is can a compromise be reached?

The former France midfielder is currently at Heathrow, having arrived from Moscow. Sunderland fans are praying he gets the green light to board a connecting flight to Newcastle.

Meanwhile David Moyes’s striker search seems to be concentrating on a potential reunion with Steven Naismith, his former Everton forward, currently at Norwich. It looks like Sunderland have no chance of securing Jay Rodriguez on loan...

I'd imagine they're easier to sort and sell to a player. Plus, the 'selling' club remove a player they don't want from their wage bill for the season and there is less risk to the 'buying' club if the move doesn't work it.

I'm struggling a bit with some of our loan deals, is the logic that if we get promoted we pull back Krul and Dr Hong? Not often you loan players upwards.
