MikeyBoro 373 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Kaboul heading to Watford... didn't like the idea of playing the mighty Boro :D Link to post Share on other sites
LinoJo3 3,191 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Not one to usually take YouTube videos seriously but his first touch and first-time passes in that video were pretty good for a young lad. Looked better than I thought he would, you can tell his talent is still raw, but moves the ball quick and seems to have a bit of vision. Actually plays pretty similar to Ramirez.

Arskite 75 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 De Pena - gone Mejas - gone De Saart - loaned Reach - gone (pending a signing) Carayol - gone Does anyone else think we might be tempted to loan out more than sell? We simply don't need the money, and some of the outgoings would still make decent Championship players to bring back should we go down (God forbid). Mejias and Reach for a start. I also disagree with you about De Sart - I think he's definitely staying around and was even brought in with one eye on the Premier League. Link to post Share on other sites
SmogDane 4,055 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Seriously lock this thread, wtf even was that garbage. That's a bit harsh. I thought it was a pretty decent assist by Enzo. Good one, Sir :D Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,279 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I think the main reason people mention De Sart out on loan is because I'm sure there was mumblings from the Gazette about it at one point. I'd be pretty disappointed to see him go out on loan at this point. I'd rather him try and fight his way into our team for the first few months of this season. Get some chance to actually play competitive football with us before being shipped out. Admittedly that may well depend on how long we're in the cup for. Regardless, if he does leave on loan, it would be nice if it was short term and not a full season. He had a good pre-season, the coaching staff sound like they rate him quite highly too.

jamesp 125 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 Kaboul wants to leave sunderland for Watford, 3 million fee Considering they think they are a massive club, thats got to hurt :D Link to post Share on other sites
wilsoncgp 9,279 Posted August 18, 2016 Share Posted August 18, 2016 I don't get how Kaboul keeps getting these moves. On his day, he's had some good games but for the most part he's a bloody liability. Really hope we're never one of the clubs who goes in for him. Hope he's not on our bloody list...

Has been pretty woeful everytime I have seen him play tbh Link to post Share on other sites
p_mards 1,365 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Watford seem to consistently do good business on the whole so I have a lot of respect for their recruitment. That said, Kaboul is the typical Viduka type player that only performs when he fancies it/his contract is running out. If any club gives him a 3 or 4 year contract, it will be money down the drain. I hope that Karanka is feeling confident about Ayala and Edpinosa's recoveries as we may be coping relatively well at the moment with Barragan filling in at CB, but it's only a matter of time until we get caught out - I'm hoping Sunday doesn't come too quickly for them two. Hopefully we can pull off some high quality signings to make this lull worthwhile. The window closes relatively soon so I expect transfer activity to reignite early next week.

estonpidge 1,449 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 for all we know we've had offers accepted and are waiting for the selling club(s) to get replacements in..... but then again may be we haven't :dodgy: Link to post Share on other sites
Lurker 2,118 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Praet's off to Sampdoria for £7.5m, don't know if we were ever in for him but suspect after we got Gaston there was no need for him. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Maz 2,899 Posted August 19, 2016 Share Posted August 19, 2016 Praet's off to Sampdoria for £7.5m, don't know if we were ever in for him but suspect after we got Gaston there was no need for him. he and his father didn't want to play in the EPL, they think his game would be better suited to the Spanish and Italian leagues.

If it's the former, it'll likely mean someone big as we've strived to keep it so well under wraps. But it may be quiet because it really is quiet... Man I hope not. Don't forget the club said they want to get all their targets in before we sell anyone, and there's been no whisper of outgoings either - save Dimi to Forest which has gone quiet and the exiled Carayol. So we must be still looking to recruit? Right?! Link to post Share on other sites
