Just watched Mobido Diakite vs Juventus highlights. He put half of the Juve players on their backsides! He looks a class signing! Have we actually agreed a fee for him? {Ed024's Note - He would be a bosman}

Yet he strugled to make the first team at lazio

Be a bit better if he put the ball in the back of the net.

It is not rugby.

Just because he struggled to make the first team at Lazio doesn't mean he isn't a great player.

He struggled 2get his game at lazio because he refused 2 sign a new contract! Keep up or stick 2 yor own site!

Ed would you agree with this - DONE -Diakite,Roberge, Cabral - Probably will happen - Lucas Orban and a GK if migs leaves - Might Happen - Livornos Paulinho Betanin and joshua guilavogui _ signing we all want LORENZO ISIGNE {Ed024's Note - I'd agree with your dones, dont think we'll see Orban (will stay put), Paulinho (not good enough) or Isigne (Napoli might loan him but wont sell). I'd say Guilavogui would be one for the future rather than the finished article. If we sell Migs we will defo get a GK.}

Ive just spent 2 weeks on here trying to calm everyones expectations about a man city style spending spree and now find myself telling people not to panic. Even if Mignolet and Sessegnon do leave we've not brought in the most outspoken manager ever seen and planning to bring in a director of football from milan and a chief scout from inter to panic the minute 2 players may or may not want to leave and a target wants champions league football. They may be arguably our 2 best players but let's be honest, there's so much crap in that squad that I could look good in it (and i'm that 2 year old from yesterday). i'm confident that di canio will have a squad he's happy with come the beginning of the season, what happens after that we'll have to let nature takes it course. Agreed Ed as they are more likely to listen to you than me? {Ed024's Note - Its not often I agree with a toddler ...but your spot on. While I agree Mignolet was out top player last season, Sessegnon was inconsistent for most of the season, we have been the most active EPL team since the end of the season - lets see who's coming when the bosmans are confirmed in early July. Absolutely no need to panic.}

Totally agree mate why would we bother bringing these top people from Italy to help with improving the squad if there is no money to spend. its good to see sunderland giving the fans the positive signs for a change. money will be spent players will come in on bosmans and players will leave if its mignolet or sess so be it no one is bigger than the club

Looks like Migs and Sess are off.

It is probably lucky Fletcher was injured or he would be gone too.

How come when players want to make a name for themselves they leave Sunderland. {Ed024's Mignolet was unknown when he joined Sunderland - made enough of a name to get chased by Arsenal and Liverpool}

Whereas, players join Newcastle when they want to make a name for themselves. {Ed024's note - who}

I feel sorry for Sunderland, what a mediocre, boring and rubbish club.
{Ed024's Is that in your unbiased opinion}
No wonder you lot come onto our page snapping at our heels, looking for a bit of excitement at a big club.

Best laugh I had for a while now is you lot mentioning players like Insigne and Tello.

Finally gave up on Cavani have you, so now you think you are buying the best young players in the world. LOL {Ed024's Note - Who are Newcastle chasing ?}

HaHa these toon goons make me laugh! why ridicule Sunderland when they themselves JUST escaped relegation by the skin of their teeth!. at least we are attempting quality intakes not the barmy French foreign legion!

How stupid are you ? It's not like we have made up the Insigne story just what the Italian papers are saying. Just like when Rooney was linked with you lot lol you where all buzzing then the club said its rubbish not the top club you think you are lol

aWe are chasing Belhanda, Bony, Martens and Valbuena amongst others.

All top players. {Ed024's Note - And all not coming.}

I don't even need to reply
Think Ed summed it up perfectly

Worry about who's leaving your own club geordie friend, the good ship Newcastle is sinking. You display the same integrity as your sponsor. that'll be none!

You say you're linked with them which you may have been in other papers, yet still highly unlikely anything will come of it. It's the same with us and Insigne

What's the facts we know about Scocco ED? Heard a lot of rumours on this site but not so much from other sources, do you know anything? {Ed024's Note - I've heard we are interested but he's staying put.}

Both Scooco and Insigne aren't moving anywhere!

Why not Insigne
It must mean its possible, if they are willing to sell him for over 10m
If they don't want him to leave they would say that

not trying to follow the media lads just got in from work so couldn't post any earlier both my sons get a bit of info in different ways about the club one has a mate who works in the offices at sol and the other gets his info off an agent. both reckon that mignolet will sign for Liverpool when the transfer window opens I have since spoken to a couple of mates from Liverpool and they have heard the same story and they reckon the fee is 6.5mill rising to 10mill depending on apperances. although I don't put my name to posts I was one of the first to post on here about the fletcher Johnson and graham deals. I for one would rather see him stop and if the club is to show ambition we should offer him a deal to stay but also if the player doesn't want to be at the club then the best way forward would be to sell him no need keeping unhappy players {Ed024's Note - I'm not saying he wont go but an intial 6.5m fee .....no chance.)

I was surprised by the fee as well ed but i'm only posting what I've been told. I could exaggerate and say we are getting 15 but it would look stupid mate we will have to wait and see

Does anyone know if its true Paolo wants to get rid of Sess because he 'doesn't like his attitude' I hope not. Last few seasons he's been our best player by an absolute mile!

I have read he wants of get rid of Sess but personally I think its paper talk, if he goes we should ask for £15 million

As you say Sess is probably our best player, also reports suggest Mig wants away which would be bad news for our club.

£15 mil for sess, are you mad.

His market value on transfermarket. uk is 8.8 million.

And even that is a stretch.

He is 29 years old and would jump at the chance to play for a big club.

6 million MAX.

If your saying sess is only worth 6mill, how on earth did we end up having to pay 5mill for Graham? THIS IS MADNESS!

12 million

15m? are you insane? he's 29, starting to go past his peak. Worth max 9m

I think the 6 mill max poster is a skunk, the "big club" bit gave him away ha ha. {Ed024's Note - He is .......but he's allowed an opinion}

We are under no pressure to sell migs if we wish we can make him see out his contract which is a further two years. me personally I would keep him for 1 more season and then let him decide what he wants to do also sess only had 3 decent games last season he is very lazy not the type of player di canio likes

06 Jun 2013 00:48:51
I think Lorenzo Insigne is a strong possibility
We are the only club as far as I'm aware to come in contact with the club about his availability
He is Italian, so is Di Canio, said he will buy from Italy
He is the perfect player that Di Canio wants,
•young
•skilful
•Very Creative
•Rapid
•can score and provide goals
•Always a threat throughout the game
That's got to be worth 15m, Come on Di Canio, Sign him up

You won't pay the money, and he won't leave napoli. He's a great young prodigy so why sell him to a smaller club?

That's easy to answer first team football in the EPL and the biggest thing these days money. He's young so is probs on around 10k a week offer him double that and all of a sudden he warms to the idea. Not forgetting agents love transfers more money for them and I'm sure agents have a big say to these players

Correct its about money, 'smaller' club has nothing to do with it. Your 'smaller' thoughts are ridiculous.
