Sunderland are trying to sign Yossi Benayoun. Wages may be the stumbling block.

Another non starter lol , but I have to say think this would be a cracking deal if it is true

Wont take wages of 50k a week

Yes, we really need another player whose age is a higher than the number of games he manages in a season- going on 33, played less than 30 games over past two years...... maybe we could Scholes and Heskey as well?

Hes on 55k week

Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit my friend but maybe your happy for the team to stay the way it is

Don;t really think Scholes was the best name to back your comment up with. Irrespective of age he would walk into any team in the EPL

He doesn't fit O'neils style..

Walk is about right. Presumably you see no difference between making occasional cameo appearances in one the strongest teams in the PL and being the driving force for 40 games a season in the present Sunderland team. Maybe you think Giggs is worth signing for the odd appearance too? I suppose if we have enough ex-United geriatrics at least one of them might be fit most weeks- that's where Bruce went wrong, he didn't sign them all!

Who said anything about 40 games, driving force or anything else. Certainly never said either Benayoun or Scholes would be worth signing.I was merely pointing out that you could hardly put Scholes in the same bracket as the other players metioned.Never suggested signing any ex man u players. I don't think Benayoun is the right option for us. At the same time you do need players in the squad who don't play 40 games a season-otherwise you don't have a squad. I'm sure everyone agrees that Bruce's transfer policy was his downfall. I mean who wants Sess, McClean, Larsson, Mignolet etc.

Mate u ain't all there this post is bulls£:t for so many reasons I reckon we haven't even got half of that to spend

And on planet earth

Biggest load of rubbish i have ever seen although i would love this to happen with owen not on that list

Dont know how old you are but keep playing football manager. that list is beyond rediculous.
defoe wont come to north east for 50k a week,neither will fucile huddlestone johnson milner. berbatov past it as is owen(injury prone and more interested in horses) hangaland why another center half when we have NO experienced strikers. wake up and be realistic. sunderland are an average mid table team who will only offer average mid table wages. also we are stuck right up in the north away from everything. why would any decent player want to come here for crap wages

Won't get 5 million for Rico. Shouldn't sell anyway. Ji won't go for 3 miillion either. Defoe won't leave London. Berbatov has never heard of Sunderland. Should keep David Vaughan. Apart from that?

Then you woke up ha! Never going to happen mate...

Have you woken up now.........£55 million....no johnson-no milner-no berbatov-no defoe.....thats fact

Absolutely PRICELESS ha ha ha ha ha, i love it. D-E-L-U-D-E-D

Listen I'm a big Sunderland fan and safc do not have 55million to spend more like 25million

Weve got a right jackanory on this site,non of these players would even come here on a weekend at seaburn,i really dont think mons got 15mill to spend never mind 55mill,we will have maybe 1 player in by the arsenal game and i bet hes another defender,we best get used to 1-0 defeats for the rest of the year cos the strikers weve got couldnt score for ryhope cw(no disrespect intended)tk73

Are you cuckoo lad

One of the most ridicuclous things ive ever read and you call newcastle fans deluded

I am also a huge SAFC fan, any of those players would be amazing! yet, Why on Earth would they want to join Sunderland? Mid table squad that are aiming for Champions league players?! Get over yourself. Think you have a crayon stuck in your brain!

Feckin hell 55mil to spend a reckon ellis short wud slash out a bit but not 55 mill mayb 30 max and half of them will never join us 3mill for jiii highly doubt that mate

A geordies post really reeled yous in, i carnt see a mackem posting a transfer list thats so unlikely. MON wants to pull his finger out though cos we need some scorers. Id rather MON took his time and bought well ...rather than keane/bruce panic buying crap but we needed a few positive early signings to help sell the season tickets/lads buying new shirts with new players names etc

Early signings? The window has been open for 11-12 weeks only 2weeks of it left. Cant see any players of quality(which mon promised us) coming in. Long season ahead

Wish that could happen...
