Jack Colback a big mistake letting him go
At times last season our best player

Not really much we can do if he won't accept a new contract, big mistake on his part, not ours.

Probably feels he's getting his nose pushed out, all of these signings, give the lad a decent contract after his efforts last season.

He won't get us into europa so cya later jack

Rumour has it that he was not offered a similar contract to those coming in. PDC NOT mad at him and talks still going on. Colback has not asked to leave.

I think it's clearly been a tough couple of says for us in the transfer market with purchases and now Colback and it's clearly because Sunderland have a identity and a model under the new Sunderland hierarchy which centres around the club making profit. that's just being sensible and smart but what they will also do is weigh up the risks around there new model and financial implications of these risks, therefore I guarantee Ellis Short will make sure Di Canio has a strong squad for the first game because the implications of relegation is huge and our biggest risk. You will see significant activity later on in the month where we may relax our financial control slightly to reduce the major risk of season failure. How do we know - well he didn't just sit back and watch us get relegated last season did he. Went against (quite rightly) every useless football pundit in the country to see it didn't happen by getting rid of a joke of a manager.

Totally agree, I think our big signings will happen towards the end of the window. At the moment we're building the squad up with low risk/young (money wise) players, then we will add a few quality players to balance it out.

Lifting financial control to get experienced players is just not going to happen as Short has tightened the reigns. It is also a question of who wants to join a team among favourites to be relegated and run by a temperamental head coach. Lot of risks bringing in so many players. PDC brought in 42 at Swindon, while 28 left including some he bought. going to be a roller-coaster {Ed024's Note - I would rather be on a roller coaster than on the ghost train.}

Dont mind losing Coleback as long as we sign a quality replacement who is better!. but there's not much happening. another home grown player out the door!

Don't blame Mendy, You've got a choice Of Slumberland or Marseille. A professional would choice the later 90% of the time

Says the skunk that can't compete with any1! Jog on wonga boy back to the circus for u. beansafc

And that's how you lot have missed out on al your 'alleged' targets! touche' pony basher! they all went to better clubs.

He'll be on the bench at marsille he's only 18 aswell we will probably get rose anyway so no skin of my back

Fair play to the kid! He would also pick Marseille over Wongaland 100% of the time.

We are getting Remy & Sinclair!

You know, a thing called 'quality. '

No one wants to sign for Sunderland, keep raiding the nordic countries and looking in the bargain basements LOL.

''Fair play to the kid! He would also pick Marseille over Wongaland 100% of the time. ''

Is that why Ben Arfa went on strike at Marseille to force a move to Newcastle?

We are huge in France.

HUGE in your own TINY mind!

Yeah real quality! Sinclair warmed the bench all season, Remy knocked you back, then couldn't bother his arse at qpr! Dubious character too, but he should fit in, maybe Ranger could show him around toon!

Is that the same remy that turned you down for 20,000 seater stadium at loftus road? all about money if he goes to newcastle he won't care about the club just his wages your the only fools in the prem who want him ha

No way will Newcastle pay the wages qpr did its just a front by pardew to keep the fans happy. its a bit like the bent situation don't pay the wages don't get the player. then you have to laugh with some of the offers they reckon they put in 12 t 15 mill for bony he goes to Swansea for 10 then the offer they put in for pea was sure to get him where has he gone oh yes Russia after the Wonga. then they put an offer in for kone oops joe can't add up everton offer 5mill so Newcastle go in with a 4. 75 offer come on lads you all know it, your getting your eyes took out and big mikes coming back for the sockets. keep giving him your money and dream lads that's what all mags are doing

Isn't Remy due up in court and could possibly get time? {Ed024's Note - Correct bailed until September, could get very messy}

Still convinced that some of this is rubbish. Pratdew to come back and say couldn't agree wages etc. Only the Mugs would sign Remy at the moment.
Total desperation.

Amongst many sweeping changes occurring behind the scenes to our club, was a revamp of the club medical department which included the departure of Dr. Glen Rae (club doctor and head of medical dept. ) I guess that his departure (and that of one or more of his colleagues) may go some way to explaining the Altidore delay. Here's hoping!
