Di canio is head coach, therefore he has no say in players coming in, he can only recommend. He commands on which players go out but he only works with what's in front of him.

He has said to Ellis that he needs the big cash for 6 new faces this summer

He has said in an interview he is in full control of transfers

Can see a few Italians heading our way with Di Canio in charge

I hope a lot of players don't leave in the summer. our squad is small to start with so we can't afford to let players go left right and center, we should get rid of ji, elmo, bramble, killgallon, brown, bardsley and maybe catts (liability as he is always prone to red cards). keep the rest and buy quality to build on what we have so we have a quality team as well as squad depth. safc93

That's seven out therefore another 9 needed at least as 2 loans will return to their clubs. Need 4 defenders, 4 midfielders and another forward. All who come will be able to use the ball instead of just hoofing it up the field. Anyone who thinks PDC will have no say in this are not living in the real world. I believe he will be given a list of players that matches Short's new long term financial plan. ie Young and talented and PDC will get the final choice.

So pleased your not the manager I don't care if we have a small side next season i'd rather a small squad with quality than a big squad with championship players i'd have the biggest clear out the Prem has ever seen, then hopefully Paolo can bring in some quality that Bruce O'Neill etc couldn't.

Out Keep
Gardner Mignolet
McClean Sessegnon
Larsson Fletcher
Bardsley Cattermole
Kilgallon Westwood
Ji N'Diaye
Wickham Vaughan
Colback Johnson
Mangane
Cuellar
Brown
O'Shea
Elmohamady
Bramble

I know it's 7 going but brown ji and elmo haven't played this season so we're only 4 players worse off. Agree with you that we need about 8 or 9 players in. Reports in the media say we're close to signing 2 free transfers so that should help us abit. Safc93

Honestly you think you will get 9 players? NINE?!

Well done original post I have been saying for ages we need to improve the squad not decimate it. its a good job we are going to spurs safe as we have only 12 first team squad players to choose from. small squads usually end up relegated so let's keep majority of our players and add a few.

I would keep, O'Shea, he's done alright

Colback is a keeper in my eyes can't get rid the lad gives his all and is showing signs of quality the older he gets

No way will pdc let catt's go, as well as ability, he has all the passion and tenacity on the pitch that pdc wants. O'shea has been different class too, worse side when he's not playing.

What about rose

Def keep colback people just get off the kids back

The post is talking about our present squad, who to keep, who to let go. Rose isn't our player, but I would love to have him at the club, hope we spend the money on him.

Expect a draw against Tottenham with Mignolet and a few others performing out of their skins.

The few (there ain't many) good players at Sunderland are looking for moves away and will put in a big performance as a last chance to be put in the shop window.

Expect Mignolet to be sold with a Keeper merry go round happening in Europe.

You can rest safe, no one else wants any of the rest of your players.

And your players wanted to play for you lot! Ben Arthur just wanted to sit on the bench chewing a greasy kebab from the pit of Ashley's crease! So you lazy players would sooner eat your daily food allowance!

Mignolet, rose, oshea, ndiaye, larsson, Johnson, sessegnon, fletcher would all walk into newcastles team.

Remember this date 14th April 2013

The day Sunderland proved to Newcastle in your own back yard who has the best team.

3-0 haha.

As for your french flops and pardew good luck with that.

Eerrrrr
Cabaye would get int our team
Anyone else, NOPE

Cabeye would be the only one to get in the Sunderland side? Give your head a shake. 1 derby win an you have the best side but you are below us AGAIN! so really who has the best side.
{Ed024's Note - Given the derby result ......are you really asking ?}

BOOOOOOM
Cheers Ed

Tiote has had a poor season but I would have him along with cabaye cisse and a fully fit ben arfa the rest are either no better or on a par with what we have. as for our players getting in their side I would say o'shea and sessagnon and if he was fit maybe Cattermole.

So you bases the best side on a one of game Ed? So does that mean Wigan have a better side than City with that logic? {Ed024's Note - On the day Wigan were the better team, who got the FA Cup to take home ? They didn't say .....well I know Wigan won but really Man City are better so lets give them the trophy.}

Come on Ed I answered your question. With your logic that would make Wigan better than City. Why won't you post it? {Ed024's Note -Give me time - I have kids to put to bed - see above}

Ben arfa maybe, if he showed passion
Cabaye definitely
Tiote no way, prefer catts
And would rather have fletcher on his own, than up along side Cisse (don't get me wrong, he's a good player, but we don't play well with 2 up front)

Not really its whoevers better on the day, on paper we would hammer you. Even jamie redknapp said that. If Newcastle beat man u 3-0 or chelsea 3-2 does that mean Newcastle have a better team than man u or chelsea? No.

Jamie Redknapp? Lol haha and who is Jamie Redknapp oh yea he's that clueless bloke married to a rubbish singer from eternal who sells holidays and is the son of a wheeler dealer tax dodger pathetic excuse for a manager. He's cousin is a good player though.

If you said to me Gary Neville OK fair enough he knows he's football.

Northeast best team

Mignolet

Debuchy collocini oshea rose

Nydiaye cabaye

Johnson Ben arfa. Sessegnon
Fletcher.

Sunderland have 7 players to newcastle 4 so we have the better team on the pitch and paper when both have NO INJURY problems.

But Sunderland being Sunderland, we will have at least 4 first team injuries every season
