Use our rumours form to send us sunderland transfer rumours.

14 Aug 2012 18:05:32
Why have we seemingly put all our eggs into one basket with regard to our transfer targets?

Who have we been scouting since last January when we decided not to go out and spend big?

Was there not one player in the euros that caught the eye?

When is the acadamy going to produce a decent striker?

How does the club expect to fill last seasons empty seats if they dont give the fans something worth cheering ?

When is the Texan billionaire who admitted he understands little about football going realise that the fans are sick & tired of false dawns!

Believable3 Unbelievable2

Excellent post. Now lets hope that all our fans see sense and stop blabbering on about Milner,Johnson,Llorente,Defoe etc etc. Fletcher is about our level and to pay 14m for him beggers belief. safc1973

Agree1 Disagree2

The academy already produced a decent striker...Noble. But when has he even been given his chance?

Agree1 Disagree1

So in 12 years we have produced Ryan Noble...Awesome. We really do live in a footballing hot bed!

Sunderland paid 24 million for bent so stop moaning at 15 if you ain't going to pay 15 million go and sign someone else easy peasey wolves fc is a proper run club !

Believable2 Unbelievable4

We sold Bent for that and he wasnt worth it.
You now have a disgruntled player ( or two ? ) who will not give 100% to Wolves.
Trying to hold out for more means both teams could lose out. Sleep well Ritchie Head.
Jeez.

Agree3 Disagree0

Aye your a proper run club just a shame your football is not up to standard

Agree2 Disagree0

Although he is a good player he aint worth 15 mill surprised we have bid more than 12 think he is worth what ye paid for him which is less than 8 mill

Agree0 Disagree2

We paid 11m for Bent. We got 24m from Villa.

Agree0 Disagree1

I think you'll find it was villa that paid that for Bent.. Haha proper run? Is this the same club that sacked the manager and replaced him with a bloke that was even worse! Enjoy the championship cos you'll be there a while.

Agree0 Disagree0

12 mill actua

Agree0 Disagree0

Sunderland paid 10 mill 4 bent which rose 2 16.5 mill wit add ons ! so b4 u cum on2 our site get ya facts rite ! nd yeah wolves r a proper run club thats why yous r in the championship ! jarra makem

Agree0 Disagree0

Proper run club?! In the fizzy pop league!

Agree1 Disagree0

Think you will find we paid 12 for bent and sold him for 24 get your facts right first

Agree1 Disagree0

Think if check on premier league players fees bent was sold for about 18 million and it rises to 24 depending on goals and appearences...also out of that fee spurs got a decent sell on clause and by the time every thing was paid safc got about 5 million profit.

joke is over now martin. either offer wolves the 15m they are asking or move move on to next target. time is running out. i hope that all this bargaining for fletcher doesnt mean we have no other targets. surely if we had bid for others we would have heard about it by now. i have a very bad feeling about this transfer window. i see panic last day heskey deal.honestly do. please please make me be wrong. mad max

So, the greedy Wolves have decided to reject another bid for Fletcher. O'Neill will hopefully come to his senses and leave it at that. His valuation will decrease next year. We need somebody quick... in the next 3 days quick...

we NEED Aiden mcgeady,stephen warnock, scott dann, ola toivennon, john guidetti then we may be able to survive the drop this should come to around 32 million pound so come on Ellis splash the cash

Believable1 Unbelievable1

What we dont need is panic buys defence is ok midfield good but lacking creativity up front is what we need everyone can see that dont think we will get anyone in till close to end of window mate

Agree0 Disagree0

Leave out mcgeady warnock and dann and you are spot on

Agree2 Disagree0

14 Aug 2012 13:27:12
Let's move on from Fletcher now. Leave it alone. I'm sure super MON has or had other targets. Go for them now. Defoe wants to get first team football. Sunderland are massive compared to QPR & Reading, but the lad might want to stay in the South. He'd be a god at Sunderland, but maybe he'll never know. Left back (Not Warnock), Quick Centre half, attacking mid fielder to take the pressure off Sess & 2 proven strikers or at least 1 & 1 with experience please Mr MON. Don't let Rico go. Ha Way the Lads.

Believable1 Unbelievable0

Super Mon ?? PRICELESS ha ha ha ha, overated and over the hill hasbeen, hence, Fletcher,Warnock, Cuella Quality not quantity, do me a favour.

Agree0 Disagree0

i can see it now 11.30 pm on transfer deadline day we still need strikers and oniells golden boy heskey is still available. dear oh dear!! you may scoff me now but just wait and see. nobody decent want to come. wolves want 15m for fletcher so unless we are prepared to get well ripped off here comes heskey mark my words

Believable2 Unbelievable1

Fletcher hasnt said he doesnt want to come. It is the clubs that cant reach an agreement. Get your facts right D & G.

Jeez.

Agree0 Disagree1

Calm down mate ye gonna make ye said bad players will come and like the old saying goes best things come to those that wait or as private jones used to say dont panic

Agree0 Disagree0

steven fletcher aint even that good. He is pants. Ba Cisse Bent and doyle are better than him

Believable2 Unbelievable3

If fletcher is worth 15 million then cisse must be 25 million...........

Agree3 Disagree1

Would rather have fletcher as better all rounder and higher workrate the lad just needs a bit of luck in the team he plays for wether its wolves sunderland villa or whoever time will tell

Agree0 Disagree2

Fletpcher NEVER scored more than 14 goals in a season and that was in scotland. Hes played 4 seasons in england and been relegated TWICE real quality martin

Agree0 Disagree0

So as of Tuesday morning wolves still say 'no deal'; if Fletcher is such a key player that we have wasted a month tracking him, why has no-one else shown any interest? Just sign Guidetti or pay Bolton the £1m they wanted for Kevin Davies and get on building a side that won't be fighting relegation by Christmas! Chances are Fletcher will be more reasonably priced come the January window- he has made it clear he wants to go and I would expect his performances for Wolves to reflect the fact they have blocked an opportunity for him to join a much bigger club.

Meanwhile, concentrate on getting a LB, a mobile CB -preferably both under thirty and not prone to alternate weeks off with injury- and a midfielder who can create chances by dribbling or passing or both. Goals from set pieces are important, but the game is about making chances from open play and putting them away. Some of those Canada and US women showed more skill and imagination in midfield, and more speed and commitment when closing down than we have in pre-season!

What is it with our club f.f.s are we really that bad that the only defenders we can attract are over 30 and after one last pay deal. Brown oshea cuellar probs warnock. I know we need left back but why pay3m for 31 year old pay 6m for olson and give him5year contract. Its becoming dads army. Embarrasing is an understatement.still no pace at the back. All donkeys

Believable3 Unbelievable1

We didn't generally struggle defensively last season. Our problem was a lack of goals.Mignolet kept 11 clean sheets I believe. Plus if you look at our first choice back 4 from last season it only had 2 30 plus in it. So did T.H, Man U, Chelsea, Everton. Its called needing experience. What we need is a goal scorer and numpties to stop being drama queens before a ball has even been kicked!!

Agree3 Disagree1

Did excellant in defense last season considering we didnt have a settled back 4 for most of it. we need goals as that what wins games fletcher will score them but not at the price wolves want i say move on we still have over 2 weeks left before deadline day

Agree1 Disagree0

I think we had the 5th best defensive record in the prem last season

Agree0 Disagree0

Agree0 Disagree0

Would not suprise me he is oniells love child

Hope not, we need goal scorers and he isnt a goal scorer!

Getting really annoyed buy fake fans talking pants. Don't be so fickle you hated Reid McCarthy Keane Bruce now your on o'neils back, get a grip. Go to the games support the lads. We as a club are sound for the first time in my 36 years as a fan. Red white and no matter where we are proud ftm.

Believable4 Unbelievable2

Llorente away from athletic Bilbao...welcome our new number 9..in mon we trust,expect deal done quick as the 2 manc clubs circling....price 15-20mil

Agree1 Disagree2

The club is sound is it .. With noble ji and wicks upfront only takes 1 season and all can go tits up

Agree1 Disagree1

I am in complete agreement about fake fans. No wonder other supporters call us fickle. We have been shouting for MON for years, after only a few month in charge so called fans are getting on his back. Dave 100% mackem
