Defoe name won't go away all over internet.
Oshea is due to sign next couple days reported in sland echo.
Gibson does want to come and it's understood that he has been given 2 days to decide before pre season starts.
We still need couple of defenders, left winger and striker ( hopefully Defoe )
Squad looks better than last season already
Need to get rid of mcartney Ferdinand malbranque Gordon all of keanes buys and big earners

Wes brown has also agreed to come for talks after sunderland offered him contract for 4 years can fill in anywhere along the back 4 o'shea would be class signing as can play in defence and midfield think bruce will offer him captains armband

O'shea wouldn't get in our midfield, he will be used as a left back and Brown will be right back or Centre. Hope we get Defoe if not another top qulaity striker who can get 20 goals a season and if we can't get not N'zogbia then get Snodgrass

I would think twice before getting rid of Malbranque, even if he was kept as a bench warmer, or maybe played deeper. Gordon if we can get him to Arsenal would be a good bit of buisness.

Suprised no one went for Sodgrass earler? I wonder if there is a reason other big clubs didn't sign him after the magnificent display against Man U a few seasons ago?

Brown, O'Shea and Gibson are deciding whether to sign for us but are also waiting for other interest now they know fergie wants them out. Wickham is a massive gamble when you think we hav paid 8m down on him, and Gardner and Larsson? Jury is out cos neither impressed me at sol last year. I personally think Brucie has spent a lot of money since being at sol and as yet, has not delivered. Short apparently has told him and Quinn that top 6 must be achieved or he will not pump more in unless they generate own funds. Gyan DEFO interested in joining Spurs and that is from the man himself, expect kevin Doyle to replace him.

Brown oshea and gibson we are the only team to put in official bid for them the others are just press reports t sell papers wickham is one for the future gardener and larsson are winners along with the three man utd players that is 5 players coming to sunderland who have picked up silverware this year as for gyan he will be going knowhere unless an offer over 20mill is put on the table as for doyle mick mcarthey has stated for the last couple of seasons doyle is his number one striker and is going knowhere

SAFC have generated their own funds and are in profit if you balance the cost of players coming in to players going out Where did you get the info about what Short said about top 6 finishing place? you a fly on the wall or a mag stiring it up because you won't have no money or when given the choice between signing for the scum or SAFC the players (and they have already done it this close season) will always choose SAFC. think about it, Un-United are a shambles, the manager is a yes man (ashleys mate from the casino ) your top players are leaving and it wouldn't suprise me with all the french coming in you were only dealing with one agent

As a NUFC fan i really hope ashley not just dealing with one agent but going back a couple of month ago Nufc announced they were working closely with kia jaboorchin (Spelling) to get a few deals set up for future signings We were hoping some big names might crop up but nothing yet so hope it wasnt all talk from the club Pardew is ashleys mate but don't think they as close as people think Also any man in the public eye would have to have some of his own say and not just be a yes man i hope he won't be anyway
