Ed, if insigne comes what do you think will happen with aj. Do you think PDC will play insigne and giaccherini or something else

{Ed024's Note - Insigne wont come]

Ed, the way this summer is going for us, anything is possible

AJ=right wing
Insigne=Left wing
Giaccherini=link up player for strikers (Sess replacement)

If we sign Insigne ill eat my house lol!

Mmmmmmmmmmm house

I have to agree with ed

12 Jul 2013 18:03:01
Ed, did we actualy put a 5.5m bid in for Lorenzo insigne a while back.

{Ed024's Note - We may have enquired but no bid placed.}

12 Jul 2013 16:05:21
ok ed there is a big word going round that sunderland are interested in signing maxi lopez the source is the same guy from the Italian media that said we were after giaccherin this is supposed to be 100% genuine have you heard anything mate

{Ed024's Note - Very little on Lopez.}

In talks with torino.

Ed is 6.8 million not a bit much for a 28 year old?

{Ed024's Note - Players are fitter and playing for longer than ever before - age is not as relevant as in the past - only his performances will determine whether he was worth the meney.}

Van persie?

I think we can get Insigne

Napoli have now got Mertens and Insigne, who play in the same positions as Insigne! I guarantee they aren't there for back up either

Agree

I think we should bid 15m, if dries mertens starts for napoli I think napoli would accept it. 15m is a lot of money for a back-up, if we get him we should play him on the left because he's much better than McLean and he played class there at the u21 championships, let's just hope he comes.

Disagree even if Insigne wanted to leave for first team football it would take 15mill plus to bring him to
Sunderland and I doubt we will be willing to pay that. Our budget seems to be we are buying player for around 5-8 mil not 15+

I can see one big buy happening this window
Lets hope it's him

Same I hope it's him we need to strengthen there

Insigne won't come i'm afraid, they'll ask for too much money, they won't want to sell him and he'll only go to a club playing in europe

Is giacherrini not a big enough buy. Started for italy at confederations cup and plays for juventus. I think people have been playing a bit too much fifa and think insigne is better than he is. If we bring in the players that have medical booked next week then we will only buy a left back and nothing else unless we sell players

12 Jul 2013 16:12:07
Now we are linked with maxi Lopez. Not to keen on the fella myself

Don't want him, crap

If Giaccherini, Peruzzi and Huddlestone come in I still think we need a left back, another center half and a striker.

Could see the following going without the squad suffering: Bardsley, Cattermole, Larsson, McClean, Graham. Wickham out on loan and keep Ji as a forth striker/cover for the wing.

Who do you think will be sold on in this transfer window?

Another c/h really? Oshea brown cuellar diakite roberge plus youth

Players we will sell. Bardsley, cattermole, vaughn, colback, McClean and Ji!

O'Shea's last season. The season before last saw Cuellar's usefulness expire- he spent last year chasing shadows and conceding free kicks when he occasionally caught them up. Brown yet to remain fit for anything like a decent run. An experienced centre half who can still change gear would be a good addition.

The skunks are apparently interested in Zoet. what was that about us going for sh*te players? If we do go for sh*te players then it's best if you don't try and sign the same player?

Sorry but he is talented though we tryed to get him

We didn't try to sign Zoet as he wanted to be first choice keeper something we couldn't offer. So if Newcastle do sign him it means Krul is about to be sold for profit and Zoet is to be first choice or the deal doesn't go through for the same reason as us. Either way who cares the Newcastle fans want a striker and they are after a keeper lol jo kin er is doing a good job lol

They bid 1. 75m they want 3m typical

Zoet would be competition for elliot and krul. no substance in sunderland going for zoet

What, no confirmed signings or new rumours today, how disappointing ha ha.

OK, I think this is where we are at: -

Giaccherini - Is a done deal and will be confirmed after medical

Peruzzi - As with above purchase price and personal terms now agreed so will be confirmed after medical

Huddlestone - London local paper and rumours are only real reference to this so it could just be press fabrication

Rose - Even though 99% of SAFC fans would like to see him sign, and Rose himself told me personally at the home game against spurs at Christmas he would like to sign permanently, there is nothing concrete anywhere about him being available or SAFC placing a bid. At this stage it's just hopeful rumours and unlikely to happen if Spurs set a stupid price and continue to try to offload Assou-Ekotto.

Lorenzo Insigne - Again there is nothing concrete anywhere to say SAFC have bid or this is ever going to happen. I will therefore be in Fenwick's window with Ed if it does!


To conclude, we will have the right side covered once the two done deals are confirmed. My opinion is that we will then need to sign a left back and possibly another striker to complete the squad until January.

H'away the Lads!

FTB Pro are reporting that Giaccherini has signed

With mendy in mind nothing is a done deal till they are holding up the shirt for the cameras fingers crossed tho

Rose will only be signed if orban picks river plate or villareal over us

Paolo said he was working very hard behind closed doors
With Mendy going to Marseille and Orban off to River, there is only one other alternative, Rose

Think this deal will happen eventually

Orban agreed deal with River apparently

Ill be in Fenwicks window if we signed both Rose and Insigna!
