4 million for ji would accept that any day

Could go to 7m!

Personally I would sell mcclean play johno down the left and ji down the right

Ed clear this all up for me. are we going after Danny Rose or not {Ed024's Note - We are interested but AVB has gone on record saying he wants Rose back - may be a tactic to push up price so PDC is exploring other options.}

Feel sorry for Ji, he has not had a chance, he is probably better than most players we are trying to bring in. Good luck to him, he will probably be a star one day.

I think we should keep McClean for now. he can play really well (when MON came in), last season was not so good, so it's not about abilities, but rather something else. if we got 2M for him, I'd rather wait and loan him out. the value cannot go much down, but it could really rise this season if everything goes well.

McLean does the same thing over and over again

Keep Ji!. A slight breeze can take the ball off him

Does anyone know who our Pre Season friendlies will be against

Was wondering the same. Also anyone know when the new home kit is shown?

We play the asia cup in hong kong! Sunderland tottenham man city south china should give us a good idea how strong/weak we are!

Just have a look at Stoke's home kit mate! Probably almost identical! Stupid Adidas being lazy.

Heard it is inter and athletico.

We're are in the Asian cup spurs and man city are in that. Rumored playing athletico Madrid and inter Milan in south Africa and also be playing the national team the it's back home we apparently facing darlington and spennymoor then a final game against Celtic apparently rumors

Think we should go for something different, like red & white halves, black shorts & red & white socks. Think they should change the club logo also. look cool having shulking cat has crest. Do away with present top, and go with all black jersey, shorts & socks with shulking cat logo come out from the side of the top. Total cool and different. What do you think ED! Or am I a young boy with crazy ideas?
{Ed024's Note - I've already sent for the men in white coats}

Nice one ED! A boy with a good imagination though, like the idea lad, but can not see it.

Looks like we've got a 4 year old here

Shulking cat you mean black cat or prowling maybe?

We are close to agreeing a fee for Duncan from inter milan thought to be 6.8 million. Cmon!!

This is one signing I hope goes through going to be one hell of a player these lads are really going to turn this club around after all these years

Agree we need young hungry talent like Duncan,. Karlsson + others!

Just seen david karlsson in the new yellow kit, it actaully looks class

I wonder what name will be on his shirt Moberg or Karlsson or both ?

It will either be
Moberge - Karlsson / Karlsson

Apparently Ji Dong-Won is on the verge of a big money move to the Bundesliga with Borrussia Dortmund are favourites

Anyone know what the price could be {Ed024's Note - £3-4M}

The ridiculous thing is that he was out of his depth when playing for us and 3-4 million fantastic deal for us but i'm sitting here saddened by his imminent departure because i'm really curious how he'd do now for us if a club like dortmund are interested.

It could rise to 6m-7m because he is the cause of a bidding war in Germany

Ive rated JI since he signed but he wasnt given a proper chance and we desperatly needed him late last season!

Don't sell him think he would be like a new signing this season

Na apparently 6/7 million according to the Sunderland news and banter page on

Thought he was average for us at first ( except man city goal obv ). Then watched him play at the olympics and he was canny awesome ( pace, strength, tricks and accurate passes). Not seen him play out that wide before but it really seemed to suit him. Could be a big loss now he has bundesliga experience.
Liono74

Surpriced Dortmund are interested in him would expect one of the small clubs or lower ranked team be in for him some one like Dynamo Dresden

anyone have updates on orban or cavanda? looked sure signings then everything has gone quiet. safc93

As far as media goes mate the cavanda deal looks ok as for orban we have spoke to his club and his family and they are impressed only issue and a big one is a few Spanish clubs have now been alerted to his availability.

I think orban is still to decide between us or a move to Spain, as for cavanda any idea ed? {Ed024's Note It gone quiet but i still expect him to be a Sunderland player soon.}

So if he wasnt hitting barn doors, he must have been hitting the net?

19 Jun 2013 13:24:50
Hi ed, I've heard that we're close to signing a player from the Dutch league, any idea who it might be? {Ed024's Note - Can only assume its Zoet - goalkeeper}

19 Jun 2013 14:02:57
The moberg karlsson deal is pretty much done just a bit of paperwork to Finnish and he has completed his medical the fee is reported to be around 1.5million

Why would the lads want to buy another young goalkeeper when they have the England u18 Pickford in the squad. And a good choice no 1 in Westwood, if they're going to get another keeper it should. be a one in his 30s with experience. And at least if he is no 2 & does not get a game he can pass his knowledge down to Pickford, Dixon, Maddison & Burke.

I think Sunderland are planning to loan out Pickford to gain first team experiance at a lower league level.

For the same reason you think we don't need a keeper. Pickford is 18-19 he's not ready for the EPL maby when he's been out in loan a few times and gets to be about 22/23 he might be ready. This Zoet is a little older with more experience.
