Yeah, sure, but how many of those were serious bids where they were actually in the mix? It's all to placate the fans.
And Zaza is amusing because if they play him again they pay a fee and he is there permanently, and I think that Bilic has stated he won't play him again based on that 6th appearance clause.
And lastly, Defoe? Come on. Why would Sunderland sell him for $5m when if they manage to stay up its worth like $200m? That and Defoe left WHU and was treated like garbage by the fans....who basically detest the guy. I'm sure they'll turn quickly if they do bring him in, but what a mess.
