Confirmed Sunderland have put a bid in for Jordan Mutch from Cardiff. Scored 7 goals last season 22years old 6ft2 midfielder who is British and has pace. Looks like poyet saying he wants British players with premiere league experience is coming true.

Not sure about Mutch, surely we can get better than him. i'd rather have craig Noone than him. I see Gus has extended his contract which i'm delighted about. Everything he says makes sense and its about time we backed a good young manager. Its time now to build a strong squad. I think jones will be a good addition and ids like to see Alonso bought permenantly as the other full back. In the middle why not try for Caulker and Micah Richards?
Midfield is a little tricky I think. Do we keep jonno or sell him on. I think he's a good player but in spells, but is there anyone better that would come to Sunderland. I think we will see the best if Giacherinni (sorry spelling lol) next season. Catts proved how valuable he is to the team so he has to stay in my opinion. gus likes Bridcutt but the jury is out on him, I wasnt too impressed by him to be honest so I think we need 2 new centre midfielders one who backs the play up moves us forward and has an eye for a goal. and the other who can tackle and pass maybe a Rodwell? up front is where we need a major facelift. I don't know who has kidnapped Steven Fletcher but can we have him back next year please!. but all joking aside he looks like he has no interest in playing for Sunderland so I would get shot. Wickham started to show what he is capable of, hope its not a flash in the pan but I would keep him. that leaves Graham and Altidore. these guys are much the same chase all day but won't get double figures. so i'd say 3 new strikers crazy I know but when you push for top ten you need to score on a regular basis so i'd plump for demba ba jordan rhodes and try to bring borini back as Liverpool have bigger names in mind. we may be suprised by a few we still have on our books. maybe cabral and el hadji ba may come good. maybe mavrias needed a season to adjust, maybe whatmore is what we need up front, who knows but at least with Gus firmly on board I believe a top ten finish and attractive football is a possibility

Well if Gus continues to buy British players then caulker Richards welbeck and even players like Zaha Ince and cleverly will no doubt hit the rumour mill soon. Anyone think Campbell might come back? For 1mil it's worth a punt for RW cover

Mutch would be a good signing. Like Billy Jones he was well rated as a youth player and showed last season he can not only cope with Premier League but seems to have an attitude, like Cattermole that says "let's have a go". He also has an eye for a goal, which we need from midfield.

Billy jones has joined SAFC on a free signing a 4 year contract. Will be joining from July 1st. Decent back up at RB on a free. Hope we are going to sign some bigger names than this though.

Yeah agree with that comment we need a big name signing especially a striker!. Jones is a solid speedy attacking right back but I remember last season there was too many bosman free signings and in this game you need quality and that costs!

We do not need big name players. We need good players who can get us to the next stage, which is top ten. then we might attract the bigger names, but big names with big salaries and egos will only go to top six teams. Let's have steady progress with more attractive style and try to bring through more from the youth side and then keep them.

Well we needed a right back, with Vergini only being a maybe now (from what Poyet said about him not knowing if he had other offers). To be honest big name or no, as long as they do the job, that'll do me just fine.

Agree with you on the youth point keith42 we definatly need to bring more through the academy and also give players like young Whatmore more playing time on the field!
