Sunderland Rumours Archive July 20 2013

Rumours surfacing that Gardner may be on his way to a Premier League club. I think even though he was a bit reckless at times I think he was still a good player. Wouldn't mind losing him too much now though as we have many defenders in the news at the moment that are "about to sign" or something so I think that we should just let Gardner leave and go on with his Career.

Gardner isn't and never has been a defender which was proven last season. Also has poor passing vision and lack of tactical nous to be a top premier league midfielder. can't be misguided by fact he's an excellent set piece specialist and a really good guy to thinking he should have a future at an ambitious club we now have. Its absolutely the right decision to sell him.

Disagree as the premier leauge is a squad game and we need a big squad. keep him!

Thats fine but when your paying your highest paid players to sit on the bench then there's something wrong. You can't have players in the squad where its clear they won't have first team opportunities unless of injury. Damages morale in the squad and sets bad precedent. Need 17 or 18 players of equal standard competing for them starting berths, I don't believe Gardner is of that level.

I agree keep him, our squad was too small last year and the likes of gardner and colback are good squad players, we need to build a good squad it's good for competition.

Its unreal how all of our supporters are wanting all of our players gone!some players are excellent team players and should stay without doubt.

the players I would keep:
sess
johnson
bards
fletch
gardner
seb
oshea
vaughan
cuellar
westwood
wickham

might have new players but we need to keep the qaulity we have and those players do have it!

{Ed024's Note - Bards ? He has no chance of staying.}

Vaughan has been linked to Crystal Palace

{Ed024's Note - Palace first showed interest a couple of weeks ago.}

That is the most ridiculous list i've seen. And were looking for a squad of about 50 next season are we whilst keeping in line with the fair play rules.

Can fans please check the rules on fair play before suggesting we keep everyone whilst adding 20 further players. 82 per cent of our turnover was spent on wages last season so Di canio has to get rid of anyone he doesn't see as first team regulars hence why he is looking to quality youth to bulk up squad rather than keep some of the very poor players we have on large contracts.

Well if he is to be sold it is a massive waste of time him being on the plane to hong kong. good servant to the club wish him all the best if he is off.

Well is it true or not? I'm much too old to know anything about twitter and my kids are all out. Can't find any reference on the Velez website even though my Spanish is as non-existent as my twittering

{Ed024's Note - I don't speak Spanish but I cant see anything relating to Peruzzi on their twitter account in the last 24 hours.}

Hi all. although I'm pleased with what I'm seeing so far I am a bit concerned on a couple of areas. the full back positions are a worry perruzi deal seems to be taking forever so I'm wondering if he's hoping for a bigger club to come in. We nowhere near getting a left back. I do agree we need another striker, pacy box player ala Phillips mould. There's no guarantee these players will cut it in the premier league so I wouldn't necessarily get rid of all our players from last year, notably catts or Alfie and Gardner. The new additions may provide a spark for the old players to pick up their performances. I would forget huddlestone, too slow and injury prone, we may as well keep catts. Meirelis would be a good signing and if we can't buy him maybe rose on loan again?. not sure which striker though. just my opinion lol, thanks for reading.

we have officially bidded for insigne his agent confirmed and his agent would like him to come to us

Where has this been officially announced we have made a bid. Craigsafc

{Ed024's Note - Check this out - http://metro.co.uk/2013/07/20/sunderland-have-bid-for-napoli-sensation-lorenzo-insigne-agent-reveals-3890934/

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

I've been on the phone to Fenwick's. they're going to give you your own window. nice of them don't you think?

{Ed024's Note - If I bare my whole arse i'll need a full window to myself.}

Ahahah Ed is beginning to think - "Sh*t"

{Ed024's Note - I still think my arse is safe !!!}

Pretty impressive I wasn't a believer now I'm starting to believe PDC this will be singing of the season if it comes off craigsafc

If he signs I will curl one out in the Fenwicks Christmas window

{Ed024's Note - While I agree he wont sign and indeed have offered to show my arse in Fenwicks window if he does, I feel that dropping your drawers and dumping your dirt maybe a teeney weeney bit excessive.}

Ed. I think the Mags are suffering enough. They don't need to punished any further.
Have you considered the claim from Fenwicks for loss of trade?

{Ed024's Note - I could make it a big unveiling event - think it would draw a lot of customers.}

Mavaris and Peruzzi to complete there deals in the next week with PDC also looking to recruit a left back ( Cissoko ) a Centre mid ( Huddlestone ) and another striker following Graham's Departure ( back in for Vydra ). Bardsley and Cattermole to leave possibly to Hull, Colback also to leave before the deadline Possibility that Cuellar might to. Sessegnon may stay now after impressing the Gaffer also can't see N'Diaye been allowed to leave after Di Canio said he was impressed by is effort at the end of last season

Team Come August 17th Vs Fulham
Westwood
Peruzzi
Diakite
O'Shea
Cissoko
Johnson
Cabral
Huddlestone
Giaccherini
Fletcher
Altidore

Subs: Mannone, Roberge, Brown, N'Diaye, Larsson, Vydra, Sessegnon

Moberg Karlsson and El Hadji Ba to be part of development squad

Wickham and Ji to be cover for the front line

{Ed024's Note - Mavrais and Huddlestone look very unlikely. More chance of Guidetti than Vydra in my opinion. I agree with your comments on Bards and Catts}

Liverpool want Cissokko. Hudds and the greek kid aren't coming we need another striker at least. Fletcher isn't training yet what happen if Altidore gets injured?

Dicanio has said how highly he rates catts too kinda puts all your speculation back in its bin, there's also major concerns about mavaris medically

Problem with Liverpool going for cissokho is they already have a top class lb in Enrique what will happen there ? They want everybody but because of this reason and the fact that Valencia are p1ss poor we might stand a chance. come on Paulo

We are getting mavrias (the Greek lad) his agent said he is still carrying knock but should be completed next week

Apparently papisse cisse has been fined 10 000 pound for refusing to wear the Newcastle shirt, he has been told if he doesn't pay by the end of the month it's going up to 100 000 pound! Lol
They make it so easy 4 us ha
Jarra makem

Hes been Wonngared!

Why unbelieve? It Woz a joke mate or should I say mag! Jarra makem

Bring him to sunderland. the lad knows how to hit the net and shone in a s*** team

22 Jul 2013 11:01:55
Yes, a rubbish team that still finished above you! Jog on.

{The difference is - you still have the same team, Kinnear needs to get cracking or you'll be having a repeat this season, Cisse will go and will no doubt be replaced but you need more than that.}

Fair point, but we will sign one or two. The buys from back end will improve no doubt. I do think you need to be a bit careful, bringing in loads of new players dosent mean sucess, they may not gel and when you start splashing big cash you get big heads and that's not good for dressing romm and to be fair PDC is hardly the best as reasoning with players, if your not careful you will have a mutiny on the cards. Modern day footballers are molly coddled prima donas, all of them and if they don't like something they will make life hard, look at the cisse carry on its got nowt to do with his religion he wants more money fullstop.

I think I can safely say we have failed in our attempt to get Insigne, disappointing but it shows the club have fantastic ambition.
Apparently Giaccherini is to play in the Sessegnon position, so I think that means Sess will be leaving.
But we still have a Left Midfield position that needs to be filled
I would like us to target any of these,
Andre Ayew (OM/12m)
Vladimir Weisse (Pescara/7m)
Scott Sinclair (Man. C/6m)
Victor Moses (Chelsea/7m)
Sebastian Giovinco (Juventus/13m)
Valentin Stocker (Basel/8m)

Excited for the season, but I think we need 1 or 2 big name signing to really set the cat amongst the magpies, if we can spend 14 mil on fletcher (no disrespect to the guy) we should be willing to spend upwards from that mark.

That would make a statement

Atsu from Porto he has turned down a new contract

7SAFC7

Stocker Weiss or Sinclair for me out of that list all young and good value

Ji for left wing. Watched a compilation video of his performances and yes, I know it was for a team that narrowly avoided relegation from the bundelisga, but we nearly got relegated from the PL. He looks to have matured into a great asset in attack across the field. He may just surprise you.

GrantInRealLife

Don't watch videos on YouTube, it just shows the best bits a player can do in an entire season!
They probably have montage of all the good things Bramble did!

20 Jul 2013 00:22:58
I think that if we can't get insigne, we should try and loan or maybe buy fabio borini?
