Sunderland after Tom Lees

Just been reading that Sunderland are to Offer 3 million for Super Signing Tom Lees,hope we Keep Hold of Him after being a Super Partnership with Glen Loovans

I'd tell em to double it at least before we listen, same with Westwood if anyone wants him.

Swap for wickham + cash with wickham being a free agent in the summer ..

I would rather we didn't lose any of this current team to be honest.

Think he's signed a new contract but him plus 3 million cash at least sounds fair

Aren't you the chap who told us Westwood was as good as gone?

We are in the driving seat with this one, he's only 24, in the first year of a three deal so not desperate need to take the first offer.

Just looked & You're right 4.1/2 year deal in December..

I see it as a massive thumbs up for the excellent work Stuart Gray has been doing. The more I see of Wednesday the more impressed I get with him, the fact that Tom Lees, who was brought in from Leeds for a bag of pork scratchings and a tuppence worth of John Smith's is now linked (truthfully or not) with Premier League teams, as is Westwood, is huge.

I have faith that he can fit someone else in successfully should either of them go, but it will cause some ripples of course, I maintain my point of view however: if the offer is good enough, there is no point in hanging on to any of the players.

Surely that goes against all those hoping for a top six finish and who want the team strengthening and not depleting Tim.

You are a spit and a falldown from a play off place, it would make a difference of multi millions if you were successful and Milan would be beating off potential buyers with a ****ty stick.

I know Rossy, but I have been raised on the Dutch philosophy: Don't overspend on new players, make the players you have better and sell them on for a profit so you can improve the squad gradually whilst remaining financially responsible, only when you can afford to refuse an offer that equals 20% of your total annual budget should you do so.

I don't see us gaining a play-off place, and I don't know many owls who think we will. I do think that IF we somehow do, we stand a good chance because we have a great defense that should translate against the better teams in the league and Lees is part of that.

So no doubt, it is a tricky decision, but should we get promoted this year against all odds, we will come down next year anyway, in which case I think we should not go spending like lunatics, but just stash the money in a bank and make the club as attractive as possible for a takeover by someone who can afford to do all the stuff that needs doing, not just on the pitch but also off it.

I really hope we don't sell anyone,and despite being told often that we are skint,i don't think we wil sell anyone.But it makes sense what you have said tim.
