OkoreLoveChild Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Seems like what Merson said was right, although didnt expect it this soon myself, what a buy this would be though, great playmaker and set-pieces, could finally see some corner goals this year! hopefully what mers said about the takeover is right now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krisagg75 Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 i'd just settle for him being right about this.cracking signing and maybe we are going to have an ok season.apart from senderos i think we've done good business if we land him.quietly optimistic for the season if this is true. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoshVilla Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Please let this happen! Always stood out for Sunderland and would make me feel so much better about the coming season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 I'm sure I read somewhere that he sold a property in Korea for 20 million. So maybe he won't be as greedy with his wage demands. Also apparently he's on the last year of his Swansea contract so we wouldn't be able to get him on loan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Ki, if he signs, will play like petrov did for us. Not a traditional defensive midfielder but will break up and dictate play from the centre of the pitch. we need that type of player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omariqy Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Ki is a confusing signing for me. Great player but where have we got the money to sign him? Surely £5m at least? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heid3ster Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Would love this to be true. He's exactly what we need.

Hopefully we can bring in Kiyotake for that. He's not a playmaker but he does take very good free kicks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndJo Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 If the ki rumours weren't enough to be excited about now Luna is apparently on the verge of leaving to a serie a team. What a night 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted July 13, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted July 13, 2014 Ki is a confusing signing for me. Great player but where have we got the money to sign him? Surely £5m at least? Well Lerner has given Lambert 10-15m every summer window hasn't he? I guess he's just doing the same again. But I guess Lambert will try and sign 3 key players with that money instead of 8 gambles. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted July 13, 2014 VT Supporter Share Posted July 13, 2014 What did Merson say? Apparently the take over is done but they are holding off announcing it until the window closes. I think it's far more likely that Lerner is just giving Lambert the usual transfer budget. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its in the other thread but i stated in this one a few nights ago that merson had said we'd be making a money signing around two weeks but this has happened quicker, but in terms of buying us, he said we're bought and will be announced in sept. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its funny because I heard exactly the same type of rumour where we did our buisness before we announced we were sold so prices wasnt inflated etc and it was off somebody from Villa and this person would have no need to lie.

KSV Posted July 13, 2014 Share Posted July 13, 2014 Assuming Ki deal is completed. Lambert has done well with the financial restrictions in place. What else will we need? We have a new left back.. CB cover and a decent holding midfielder in Ki. I would like to see Young on loan and Cambiasso come in. With only Ki has our money signing (3-4 million) its not unrealstic. Sales of Bent Hutton Luna to help finance some of the wages. At full strength we line up like this. -------------------Guzan----------------------- Lowton------Vlaar---Okore----Richardson ---------------Ki--------Cambiasso----------- --------------------Delph---------------------- Wiemann---------------------------Young -----------------Benteke------------------- With Cole and Gabby coming on.. plus Kozak to win us games. We could have quite a handy squad which will help us stay up until we get bought out. Could even switch to a 3-4-3 with Senderos in a back three with Richarson and Bacuna as the wing backs. Interesting. Doubt we will bring in Cambiasso but if we can bring another firm defensive midfielder. We may go okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't read to much into that. My monthly wage was over 2 million out there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
