And people accuse Harry of talking gobbledygook?
Mind you, Sunderland's record with strikers does make you think.

This obviously a wages/agent driven move. This is going to be a bad move for Sunderland as their strikeforce looks so bare.
Asamoah Gyan will double his money after quitting Sunderland for Arab outfit Al-Ain on a year-long loan.
Striker Gyan is picking up the same £40,000-a-week deal with the United Arab Emirates outfit, but the cash is tax free – and one of the reasons why he quit the Stadium of Light.
The Black Cats also pick up a loan fee of over £1m on their one-time record buy.
The Ghanian was offered to other clubs because relations between him and boss Steve Bruce were so strained.

£40k is hardly alot by today standards bearing in mind keano and crouch were on moreGetting it tax free is essentially doubling his cash though.
Bruce went a bit dotty in the transfer market this summer. There's a new wheeler dealer in town, eh?
Gyan was always likely to use Sunderland as a stepping stone to bigger things (in this current loan case more money), why should Bruce be shocked or surprised?
Tbf to gyan, Bruce does seems like a right two faced tosser, i mean the ghaly situation where he picked up a injury in training and ghaly said we don't train when injured at tottenham and he came out and said we don't run at tottenham and he refused to train

Except that there are nearly 200 countries which play in two different hemispheres and multiple climatic conditions which effect when they can and can't play a season. There is no way a team on the edge of the equator a team in Buenos Aires and a team in Frankfurt, should or would have seasons that start, break and end at the same time and thus they would need to have different transfer windows to adjust for such global differences.
its a lot more than 20k though
