Good news looks like Valencia are willing to loan Banega with a view to a permeant deal in the summer if Sunderland stay in the EPL. Player would only go on loan due to Sunderland are at the bottom on the table. This deal should be done soon just need to agree in principle a fee if Sunderland do stay up. So it could well be a case of soccco coming in with Banega and bridcutt. It seems the last two will be Poyets last two signings. Can see all three playing in the derby aswell

I hear Gus and the chairman are planning to sew Di Canio after what he has said recently, calling players cowards and stuff hear is the full story.
The Italian, sacked as Sunderland's manager in September, dubbed his former employers "weak" and some first-teamers "cowards" before singling out individuals for special criticism. While Lee Cattermole and Phil Bardsley were described as "rotten" by Di Canio, Gus Poyet's predecessor said John O'Shea, the side's captain, was "two-faced".

The rest of Di Canio's mouth being dragged on. It did not go down well when, during his weekend interviews, Di Canio suggested he was "too good" for Sunderland before claiming it is his "destiny" to manager West Ham United. "Those two players [Cattermole and Bardsley] were rotten, " he said. "The most unprofessional players I ever worked with. What Bardsley has done in the last year speaks volumes. Photos of him lying on the floor in a casino covered by £50 notes and laughing at the team losing on the opening day, that's public. It's no surprise these players were kicked out of my plans. The reason Sunderland stayed up at the end of last season was because Cattermole was injured and Bardsley played very little. "

We will probably get a couple of hundred thousands if we sew him.

Spanish newspaper are saying he will be loaned out and Sunderland was mentioned as they wanted to buy him but he said no because of our league position. But agreed he would come on loan and sign if we stayed up. But it also appears that now he is available on loan Dortmund and inter are showing intrest in Banega. Would have to wrap this up quick if we stand any chance.
