Believable1 Unbelievable10

Tom cleverly
James Milner

Agree5 Disagree7

Wudnt mind Jordan back but possibly on loan!

Agree9 Disagree2

None of the above

Agree2 Disagree4

It says on the main rumours page that we're after Will Hughes if we don't get Huddlestone ide go after him first I think he'd be mint for us, young loads of potential.

Agree4 Disagree3

Whos Will Hughes?

Agree3 Disagree5

Grant Leadbitter
Jordan Henderson

at least they would play with a passion for the club

Agree5 Disagree4

PDC has already signed him, he, s just letting us know that it won, t be a full back, wonder if its Colback!

Agree3 Disagree2

Joey barton?

Agree4 Disagree4

None of the above there's no decent english playmakers anymore that's why the same players get picked for england year in year out. extend your search paulo.

Agree3 Disagree2

A stange one this because none of the English names mentioned are of the ability I would have thought we would want, possibly Huddlestone but I think he is too slow. I suspect we do not have enough "home grown" players in the squad now. According to the premier league squad lists we only have 7 home growns if Cattermole, Vaughan and Bardsley leave.

Agree1 Disagree1

Pdc says midfielder with physical presence which rules out henderson also milner is a winger plus hughes has no prem experience

Agree2 Disagree0

Will Hughes is a 18 year old playmaker, playing for derby

7SAFC7

Agree3 Disagree0

No to Henderson. not a ball winner, only passes sideways, can, t play a killer ball, can, t tackle/won, t tackle. only player to play 90 mins and keep his kit clean. no no no

Agree3 Disagree5

Rumour on west ham page pdc looking at mark noble

Agree2 Disagree3

I would personally love to see Jordan Henderson back in the red and white stripes! He seemed a much better player last season and I'm sure we could get him for a fraction of what we sold him for

Agree4 Disagree1

Aaron Ramsay; OK he's Welsh? Seems to be over his broken leg, still young but likely to be £10M+ and not sure Arsenal would allow to leave.

Agree2 Disagree1

{Ed024's Note - I'm sure they wouldn't.}

Spurs have enquired about Hughes so he won't come cheap and Fulham are in for Gargano so there's another one we've missed out on. Hudds too slow Parker too old. Whos left, only the best one James Mcarthy!

Agree2 Disagree0

Regarding the 8 home grown players Mannone qualifies so we will be o k this year but 12 months time could be a problem although we would be able to include Whickham, Laing, Egan etc even if they are actually still U21s.

Agree0 Disagree0

Anyone think nathaniel Clyne would be a good option for a right back?

Believable7 Unbelievable2

Yea I would have bought him when he was stil with crystal palace

7SAFC7

Agree5 Disagree0

Roberge was a big suprise for us in Denmark! I feel heel be a big player this season!. one newspaper said its a nice suprise a Sunderland defender can play football and pass well out of defence rather then hoof it upfield!

Agree6 Disagree0

Is he available like. if so he is not bad but I think Paulo is looking for someone on the next level.

Agree3 Disagree1

08 Aug 2013 19:38:22
Scotty parker ain't no play maker. you might as well just keep cattermole. both ball winning midfielders. that's all. could'nt pass water. not sure I like the way pdc is limiting he's search for a play maker to just being an englishman

Believable5 Unbelievable2

He wants an English Midfeilder who understand what the PL is about, a strong character and bit a money grabbing foreigner

Agree3 Disagree2

Bit is meant to be "not"

Agree0 Disagree0

Money grabbing foreigners? Giaccherrini only on 30k a week english demand more

Agree1 Disagree1

I think what he means is that foreign players come over here, take their wages but put in half hearted performances, eg, Taarabt

Agree0 Disagree0

Only, only, only????

Agree0 Disagree0

08 Aug 2013 18:55:28
I think the midfielder di canio is on about is Scott Parker he's english knows the game well can link up play between defence and attack and they got on really well together at charlton.
I wonder.

Believable4 Unbelievable8

{Ed024's Note - Hope not !}

Far far too old

Agree6 Disagree0

I'm with Ed. Really hope not!

Agree6 Disagree0

Parker only passes sideways and backwards. Pdc wants someone that is a playmaker!

Agree3 Disagree0

Would rather keep david Vaughan

Agree5 Disagree1

Hope not aswell, good a few year ago but no thank you is too slow

Agree3 Disagree0

Milner for me

Agree4 Disagree3

Dunno about English but what about Malohney of Wigan!

Agree4 Disagree0

Would love Malonhney of wigan does not need to be english!!

Agree0 Disagree0

6th post
Why can't we get the likes of Cleverly
When Man U target the likes of Fabregas, Marchisio, Vidal it shows they are looking for other options

Believable5 Unbelievable0

Cleverley would be a great signing for us, but just can't see it, but he won't get a game with them playing kagawa and after fellini

Agree5 Disagree1

PDC is looking for "An English central midfielder" according to Sky's website. He wants to have somebody who understands the English game inside out to control the midfield.

Let's think realistically now who he might want and be able to get?

Believable6 Unbelievable2

Hudestone, Milner, Cleverly, Noble
Any of them and I'm happy

Agree8 Disagree6

It's pushing you down the Huddlestone route when he is stating English and physical. I'm with you Ginja, who else is out there that would fit into our price bracket and be of good enough quality?

Agree4 Disagree1

Sidwell?

Agree1 Disagree8

Go for cleverly and buttner

Agree9 Disagree3

2nd Post, are you for real? Cleverly? The England midfielder who plays for Man Utd that I am sure they want to sell. Not! Apart from that he is small so would not fit the physical criteria PDC has stated. Noble is simply not good enough, Milner will be too high wages even if City want to sell him (and I personally do not rate him). That leaves us with Huddlestone who doesn't want to come north or take a pay cut so IMO we need to identify someone else.

Agree5 Disagree3

I think Huddlestone is the main option for him. Noble is also a brilliant choice.

Agree3 Disagree5

Milner would be great but can't see that, huddlestone is not that good but I trust Paulo

Agree3 Disagree1

Huddlestone. no thanks.

Agree6 Disagree3

Go for cleverly. as my Mam said, if you don, t ask you don, t get

Agree7 Disagree0

Noble is pure garbage maybe wigan player or parker rodwell loan

Agree2 Disagree7

I know he isn't english but he knows the english game, mccarthy from wigan? too much money, maybe but fits the bill. tk73

Agree5 Disagree0

I would be worried on both counts. Huddleston, yes a quality player but injury prone and slow. Noble, have seen him play and is he better than catts, Vaughan. Maybe slightly but he ain't getting in my house. What about Carrick? If Felani goes to Man You?

Agree4 Disagree2

{Ed024's Note - No chance of Carrick leaving Man Utd soon.}

Roots are up here, best mate is here (shaysee) under valued at Manchester. A bid could get them thinking.

Agree3 Disagree1

Behind RVP I'd rate Carrick as their player of the year. He was outstanding. But nah too high value to come here I'm afraid.

Agree1 Disagree0

According to reliable sources Manchester United are willing to let Alexander büttner leave the club. Aparantly besiktas are interested but I think we could easily beat them to his signing. What's on everybody else's mind about our hunt for fullbacks? Ed, how bout you?

Believable9 Unbelievable0

{Ed024's Note - Buttner would do a good job, but would prefer a permanent solution.}

Sky and other papers say that it is a permanent deal, Ed, so I hope we do get him. Any thoughts on Right fullback?

Agree8 Disagree2

{Ed024's Note - My 12 year old son plays right back for his team - he's about the only right back that hasnt been linked with Sunderland !!! If we assume the Peruzzi deal is dead then I would like to see Danilo D’Ambrosio at Sunderland.}

Yes please he would suit me! RAW74

Agree3 Disagree0

Get buttner in very good young left back and will give colback a run for his money, good competition

Agree2 Disagree0

John O'Shea Sunderland new club captain will come has no surprise to most fans.

Wigan are in contract talks with James McClean for an undisclosed fee.

Crystal Palace & several other clubs are keeping tabs on David Vaughan who is free to go.

Fulham, Hull, QPR, Blackburn Bolton & Wigan keep a close eye on Phil Bardsley.

While Lee Cattermole is attracting interest from Cardiff, Fulham, Newcastle, QPR, Hull, Blackburn, Bolton, Stoke, Middlesbrough, Kasimpasa & Livorno.

Colback has been offered the vice cpt roll has part of his new contract talks.

Ha'way the Lads moving forward.

Believable5 Unbelievable6

Firesale at Sunderland.

Selling all the 'old' average players to make way for all the new 'average' players.

heh.

Agree7 Disagree0

{Ed024's Note - You just dont understand the game at all do you. Lets think.......why would a club sell players that are unlikely to feature in the starting eleven ? Could it be to make room for new players ? free up wages ? ensure the club operate within the new financial fair play restrictions ? or as the players you refer to - Bardsley, Cattermole, Maclean and Vaughan cost a combined 7.5m, and will go for approx £10m is just good business ?}

Can we just get one thing clear Newcastle are not in for Cattermole or Bardsley.

Agree0 Disagree5

Another mag, green eyed monster, who have they bought. sorry a loan, gomis looking for a marseille move, same side as last year, you can buy all the forwards you want, but the defence is still a shambles, pardiou thinks he's on football manager hoping for the best. tk73

Agree3 Disagree0

Mixture I think, it's good business and freeing up money for new faces.

And I think Bardsley, Cattermole & Vaughan are not in PDC plans.

Agree3 Disagree0

Its debatable I think yous might be after them

Agree1 Disagree0

Ed any idea why JI and Brown wernt in the squad for the Denmark game?

Believable3 Unbelievable0

{Ed024's Note - Brown was left out to give Cuellar and Roberge a run out - i think PDC had seen enough of Brown in Hong Kong to know what he can do. Not so sure on Ji.}

Wasnt ji injured

Agree4 Disagree0

No both Ji and brown had minor knocks which wasn't worth risking so they were both left out!

Agree3 Disagree0
