Gus Poyet has revealed he has already had rows with the Sunderland hierarchy over who the club should sign in the January transfer window. Black Cats boss Poyet has spent the international break locked in meetings with Roberto De Fanti, the club’s director of football, in a bid to identify potential targets. However, he admits that there were several disagreements during the chats – and that he threatened to walk out if one of De Fanti’s suggestions were signed. ‘I’ve told him my opinions about everybody and I’ve told him what I think we should be looking for,’ said Poyet. ‘We talked about a position the other day and considered four players. ‘I picked two. It was simple. ‘One of the other two was a definite no. If that one is coming, I won’t be here.’ Poyet went on to say that he will have the final say on transfers, insisting he will not accept the club signing players on his behalf. The Uruguayan is planning further meetings in the coming days to make that clear. ‘I’m sure the transfers are going to be done in the right way; in the common sense way,’ he continued. ‘Everyone has a responsibility and then the player has to be the right one for me. ‘If not, I’m not going to accept it.’
