SKY SPORTS 22:42 WATFORD WANT NDONG Watford have made loan offer for Sunderland midfielder Didier Ndong with the obligation to buy in the summer - provided Ndong plays in 70 per cent of their remaining matches this season. Sunderland won't do a deal unless the obligation to buy is not dependent on game time.
There was a lot of bluster from Coleman saying there will be no deal on these terms, but Sunderland are not a Premier league side anymore. They are on the brink on league one. They do not call the shots anymore. They need the money and if there are no other offers, a deal will be done on Watford’s terms, but it will go to the last day of the window.
Do we really need or want him I didnt see much potential in his last game ,before he got sent off (albeit harshly imo). Is he an improvement on what we have now ?
No, no and no. To sum it up, "If NDong leaves Sunderland, few will shed tears", say their local rag. Nothing special at Lorient, definitely nothing special at Sunderland, dare I say even Capoue is twice the player.
The fact that David Moyes spent £13m on him and he is in and out of a terrible Sunderland tell me all I need to know about this guy.
Perhaps this'll be the reverse Kevin Phillips signing - we take a player off of them for relative peanuts (in today's crazy market), and he turns out to be fantastic and a future club legend!! I must try not to post when I'm smoking the crack pipe
Lots of noise that this is back on again. See if Sunderland want his wages off the books by sending him out on loan now. West Ham also supposed to be interested...
If this happened it was always going to be late in the window They were never getting any money for him and (as Clive rightly pointed out) it’s just a question of whether they will now swallow their pride and take the opportunity to free up wages for some loan signings of their own
Man at Esso said "watch this space". Though to be fair he was pointing at the car wash at the time, as a car with an open rear window drove in.
Per BBC Liverpool midfielder Ovie Ejaria is to join Championship strugglers Sunderland on loan for the rest of the season, report The Sun. The 20-year-old has made eight appearances for the Reds. Frees up Ndong to move to us ?
