Hi ED fell Celtic fans you might know already 2 million fee agreed for Mathews to Sunderland. So expect Jelle Vossen to sign this week. Also heard about some Nigerian kid Akinjide Idowu DF midfielder not sure how true that is

Can't see it mate! Think we've missed out on him! Hope I'm wrong but! Think 2 millions a great price for Matthews! Great servant but struggled the past year or so! Just hope we actually invest the money we get for him! Wish him all the best at Sunderland! 👍👍

It's a good bit of business if it happens. £2M for Matthews and we've already replaced him with Janko who we only need to pay a compensation fee for. You guys are right, hopefully the Matthews money will go towards getting the striker we need.

If Janko is as good as Matthews then it is an ok deal but still think we are letting him go a bit cheap at £2 especially to an EPL team. no doubt there will be players of similar age and ability transferred for a lot higher fees down there. I know Coleman is better than Matthews but Everton are looking for about £30m. if MAtthews stays fit then Sunderland have got themselves a bargain. just like Crystal Palace did with Ledley

Well the Ed called it again, obviously knowing the player wanted out - given the reports this morning.

With a year left and unwilling to sign, and with injury 'problems' I suppose £2m ain't that bad. let's just hope it is reinvested.

Personally miffed he's went to the mackems as I think they have got themselves a steal. He'll hold his own in the BPL no doubt. Had his best game in the hoops at left back - against Barca; and has never looked out of depth in Europe. Can keep up with and usher any attacker in Europe. Does very well when he's forward too. Epitomises a full-back but as somebody cleverly enlightened me on here, I was probably more fascinated with the player he could be than that he had always been for us. As yes, he probably has spent too much time out for his age.

But I'm pleased with the signing of Janko, and Fisher can cover for domestic duties. Perhaps we might see Lustig a bit more at RB now at the start before being moved to the middle - when VVD leaves lol.

If we tie up Vossen now it'll soften the loss of Matthews.

£1.5m according to the Daily Ranger.

Makes it a bit worse then Magic. Or is that just the Daily Ranger? Ball park figures, we're already looking to be in the black off transfer dealings this summer. Surely there'll be a few more decent signings made?

Ed 2 players leaving today apparently, Matthews and one other I assume any idea who the other is. Cheers

{Ed007's Note - Hopefully Boerrigter. }

Shame to lose Matthews: smashing player although Lustig for me is first choice right back. He's been dependable and fine going forward much of his time in the hoops.

There is no chance we will sign vossen. We have definitely missed the boat on this.
