He hasn't played for a very long time other than the cameo as a sub where he made a fool of himself. It will be very difficult for him to get game time with us. His contract is not up until June '23, a loan for him to prove his fitness and worth could help facilitate a sale in the summer. I really can't see anyone buying him this window.

I really can't see anyone buying him this window. I can - he's still well-regarded in Turkey tbf. Also, no more loans out might actually just be referring to the young players rather than the seniors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quote Also, no more loans out might actually just be referring to the young players rather than the seniors. How could no more players leaving the club on loan be just referring to the youth?

To the second, it could well do, hard to say until it's clarified. We're talking about a modern journalist here, they're not exactly known for getting things 100% right.

I think it is very clear what Percy is saying, there is no room for ambiguity in his tweet. He could be wrong but the message is clear. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunderland not keen to let him go, but I've heard he's a top young prospect and has first team games behind him. If we think he's worth that investment, then so be it. Better buy him now for £6.5m, than in 3 seasons for £50m from someone else. We could loan him back to them for the rest of the season for their promotion push and to get him first team games too.

Given the chance we can loan out Trezeguet and allow Guilbert to continue on loan. That was my original point. It says not more loan players leaving the club and I said there must be no interest in Trez. I doubt Guilbert would be covered by the tweet as he has already left Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not heard about him, but that is big money for a 20 year old in League 1, he must be highly rated and I'd imagine he'll join up with U23s, cant imagine Carney would be too impressed with him coming straight into first team ahead of him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
