Sunderland Rumours Archive June 17 2013

Funny thing is every forward we have been linked with Bar one none are over 25 years old. And I mean Linked we won't get Insigne for example.

Hernandez - 22
Dost - 23
Leandro - 19
Rossi - 24
Aubameyang - 23
Zarate - 25
Insigne - 19
Figabogson - 23
Hooper - 24

I can't see Sunderland ever buying anyone over 25 again. Buy them young on the cheap sell them on at a profit. And if Sunderland can maintain top flight football doing this then the club will always make a profit and never really spend any money on players. Makes sense with the new fair play rules.

SteSAFC

Paulinho 27
hooper 25
insigne 22
fina 24
leandro 28
rossi 26
dost 24

The first post has more ages wrong than right. Which is a bit of an issue when your entire point is about age. Embarrassing.

Leandro we are intrested in is 19 not 28

You've got the wrong Leandro mate.
Hernandez - 22
Dost - 24
Leandro - 19
Rossi - 25
Aubameyang - 23
Zarate - 25
Insigne - 21
Finnbogason - 24
Hooper - 25

These are all correct.

We're linked with Kevin Davis {Ed024's Note - This is an old rumour}

I last heard the Kevin Davais rumour like 3 days ago

Kevin Davies rumour is from when O'Neil was in charge

GK- Westwood
RB- Cavanda/2m-4.5m
CB- Diakite
CB- O'Shea
LB- Orban/4m-6.5m
CM- N'Daiye or Cattermole
CM- Duncan/8m-9.5m
RM- Johnson
LM- Zarate/free
ST- Fletcher
ST- dunno/13m-15m

TOTAL SPENT = around 30million

Is dunno a Brazilian

People keep putting Cattermole in their squad predictions and I have to wonder, why?
He isn't good enough for what we are aiming for, he will be suspended more that any other player next season and can't have a decent crack on goal. Never really rated him. I'd love to be proven wrong, but I highly doubt it. N'diaye is way better in my opinion.

GrantInRealLife

Totally agree with that.

For some reason Cattermole gets a lot of support from people and for what, being a poor aggressive tackler. Overrated and a liability, N'diaye everyday.

Cattermole is good, he isn't in the squad to score goals, his job is to break up the play and help us get further up the pitch, which he does extremely well

Yes, his suspensions are a bit of an issue, but with Di Canio's strictness he will sort that out in a second
Results are proven to be better when Cattermole is on the pitch, he will play a vital role for the club if the want to progress in the league

4th post

Who are you agreeing with, original post or the bitc*hing about Catts

All you need to do is look at the win ratio with Catts in the side compared to out of it! It's a no brainer that we are a better side with him. Yes he's a loose canon at times but hopefully PDC won't be like Bruce and MON and tip toe aroun the issue!

Catts is an excellent player on his day and certainly plays his heart out for the team. However, I feel N'diaye offers more physicality, more attacking threat, has greater potential to develop and won't be injured or suspended 90% of the time.

Ed: Do you Ed's still have group meetings at the Mountain Daisy or was that a one off? {Ed024's Note - Think you might have mixed us up with another group ?}

17 Jun 2013 21:13:16
Ins: I HOPE
Cavanda=3m
Orban=5m
Zarate=free
Diego=10m
Duncan=8.5m

Sunderland are now linked to sign Leandro from brazil he
Has spent the last two seasons on loan and Sunderland are keen to sign the forward from Al-Sadd.

Lack of goals was one of our main problems last season

We need to get good forwards who are experienced in top leagues, not players like him

Don't worry about experience, I'm looking forward to going in with the element of surprise. I'm almost disappointed when I've heard of one of our targets, more exciting when they are totally unknown.

More info on Leandro he is 19 years old from brazil. He scored 20goals in 30 games last season. He has lots of pace and skill. Not very tall at 5. 10 but does have an eye for goal and a nack of been in the right place at the right time. Don't think he would be in the starting team maby one for the future.

Write him off at your peril because N'Diaye's going to have a big season next year so I wouldn't expect that to be central midfield. Those that went to the game will have seen the biggest transformation ever known in a player once Di Canio took over.

Love to sign duncan he's a big strong boy

Okay
Sorry

No need to say sorry mate, I just know press have suggested he was poor last season and very little recognition of his massive improvement but would those who see the full 90 agree that N'Diaye has huge potential? What about your thoughts Ed? {Ed024's Note - I think he was off the pace for a could of games but showed enough after those games to suggest he will do well.}

He did not look to clever at the Villa game

No one looked clever in the Villa game so that's invalid

Everything so far on the Mignolet situation is just pure paper talk

Mignolet's agent has said there hasn't been any offers at all from any clubs for him

Youve got to love mike ashleys humour
we sign one of the top scouts in europe and they sign joe kinnear might as well be roy kinnear.
Cant wait to see who he's after.
We might have got the hoppings but the real circus is still at sid james park.
What a carry on.

Ed dunno if this is to spark up interest but apparantly sunderland are interested in scott parker, just wondering if there's anything happening with him? {Ed024's Note - I cant see much in this - he doesn't fit the profile in f the players we are after.}

Parker was home sick at newcastle years ago. So now he's ready for the retirement home, he'll want to be near his family

Hi all, I'm a Liverpool fan and I was just wondering what your keeper is like I don't know much about him if he were to join us would he be a good signing? Please don't slate me for asking! {Ed024's Note - He's top notch my red friend - a little lacking in physical presence which can hinder him coming for crosses but other than that he 'll do a good job - what's happening to Reina?}

His weakneses are his crossing and at times kicking good shot stopper uses his legs a lot!

Apparently Liverpool have offered £7 million we want £10. feel we shudnt take less than £9 million. Westwood is going to be given a chance. and IMO he's not that far behind MIGS in ability!. remember that save Westwood made against was it Manchester United couple seasons ago?. brilliant!

Of the shots at Mig, he punched 90% of the them straight back out. Flapped at crosses. £10 million, yes please

U are getting a Brilliant GK

Leaving:

Mignolet - Arsenal - 10mil
Sessegnon - Marseille - 9m
Graham - Derby - 2m
Bardsley - Hull - 2.5m
Elmohamady - Hull - 2.5m
Brown - FC United of Manchester - 1 pound
Ji - Jeju - 2.5m
Cuellar - Alaves - 2m
Larsson - Lazio - 5m
McClean - Celtic - 2.5m

Cardiff are prepared to pay 4m for Graham

In order: partly, probably, hope so, too much, yes, lol, maybe, probs not, never get 5mil, yes or hooper swap

Like it mate, you have a good sense of humour, I heard Brown was going to sign for the Mount Daisy. lol!

I bet you Graham will score a lot of goals for Cardiff!. I think we should keep him as a squad player!
