@JimWhite Hearing that #Chelsea left-back Patrick van Aanholt close to joining #Sunderland tonight. Clubs trying to agree fee.

So who will be Chelsea's second left back? Bertrand isn't with the team for the pre-season games,so maybe we will go for new left back? Or Azpi will be 2nd choice for RB and LB?

I agree with Zolayes, I think it could well be Ake. He has been given the number 6 shirt and despite mainly being a CB who can play at CDM Jose has been deploying him at LB all pre-season. Granted we are short there for pre season but still it may be Jose is testing him in that position.

Sweet. More dead wood on the way out. One year left on his contract so can't imagine the fee would be that high, but hopefully he has a decent career.

'dead wood' is a bit harsh, but I agree with the premise

If sunderland can pay 14mil on borini, sure they can make us a bit happy too.
