For all those who are complaining that we are being linked with all these players but not going out and getting them
In 3 days time, things will seriously hot up, Di Canio, the owner, the fans, etc know the club needs a major shake up, wether its getting new players or making sure the players are physically and mentally fit for the coming season, they will buy the players they think is right for the club, who can do a descent job, who will give their all and who can fit into our squad. The club will have a plan for this season as well as the future, I like the idea that the club is targeting young, energetic players with bags of potential (Mendy, Peruzzi etc), it shows we have a long term plan for future seasons, but we need to get a few premier league experienced players along the lines of Milner and Huddlestone and keep a lot of players we already have as the club will seriously struggle to gel and the squad is thin enough as it is, however we cannot go on a massive spending spree as it is a massive risk, we'll either finish in the top 8 or we will end up like QPR and totally flop, there is no middle, I would prefer 4 or 5 top class players rather than 10 average players who don't have the stomach for the EPL

Agreed!

Top 8? LOL

100% agree

I can see us putting a double bid in for Rose and Huddlestone, 13m?

Worth every penny!

If this happens, I would happily walk down to London with the money then give Them 2 a piggy back, back up to Sunderland

If I could walk that far I would share the load.

I`m just getting into biking so i`ll share the load and give rosey a backer back up here to share your workload

Reports linking us with lee of Bolton. That would be a good solid signing, were lacking wide men at the mo, especially if McLean and sess go. He looked every bit a premier league player two years ago but had a horrible year for injuries last term, that could put a bit of a downer on the deal but I would be happy to see him in red and white

WOW Tom Huddlestone what a signing that would be he can really hit a ball when he wants to

With Tottenham really close to signing Paulinho, anyone think we should put a cheeky bid in for Sigurdsson

Super Kev. One last season in the Prem, a return as a bit player, come ambassador for the club, the media and fans would love it. Think of the shirt sales alone and the lift for the area. I think, if he a played for the last 10 mins or so or set pieces of a game, or in a cup run, for his last season in the top flight, the publicity and the story, it would be amazing. It could be an amazing headline! With the right support and feels he is still potent!

Totally agree with you would be a dream come to true for all fans

What do you think Ed? {Ed024's Note - No place for sentiment - no place for Philipps}

Id love King Kev back here. the crowd would worship him. we are not worthy! lol

Would not Take him back he didn't want to come back to us a few years ago why now? plus people on about a final pay day that's all he'd be! So not a chance

He didn't want to come back to the NE as his kids were taking exams and mock exams at the time and he didn't want the upheaval of them changing schools, he needed to stay in the midlands. I didn't blame him then or now. It may be a final payday but the club would benefit with the publicity and merchandising if it came of well. It would be a lovely piece of history in the making, who says romance is dead in football, this could be a great thing. Imagine him scoring at Sid james park, or how he would lift the crowd at The SOL with a goal! He would be great in a cup run!
