Re: Defour on the left

What a waste. However SD clearly sees Hendrick as the future king pin and the lad is showing him why. Never thought I would say this, but maybe Deano should not be starting.

Re: Andre Gray to West Ham for £10m?

Why would Sunderland sell Defoe for any amount let alone £6m? They got him for free (apart from £4m a year wage) and they lose mega bucks if thy go down.

Even dafter why would we pay someone £4m plus a year?

Even dafter still why would we sell Gray for £10m when someone might pay £11m for Lookman?
