How much money do you think we will have I think around £20m-£25m because were after a lot of bosmans like diogo viana valentin roberge modibo diakite etc

Ive given up trying to calm supporters down but i'm going with 10m on actual transfer spend. No such thing as a free transfer anymore so these potential bosmans will cost a fair bit and still need to keep wages under control. Our accounts showed huge loss last year but new premier league tv deal saved day. i'm sick of wasting money on complete crap year on year so I think there's more to be excited about than ever before anyway having a manager who understands the international game/market even if they are on bosmans.

Think it will depend on who we offload nd how much we pull in off transfers going out, despite es bein a billionaire he seems 2 run a tight ship so I don't think the deficit from players comin in nd going out wil b more than 15 - 20 million

Sorry meant no more than 15-20 million!

Does anyone actually know any strikers we're linked with? We desperately need strikers yet we're linked with non can someone comment with some REALISTIC targets if anyone says Lukaku or cavani please feel free to no longer support sunderland as your an embarrassment

Hi hooper 3m plus mclean and a young kid from italy insigne will cost 10m to get him zarate for free ba from chelsea could be up for sale. dave sunderland fan

Damien Ormerod is a winger from Kaizer Cheifs who is ment to be signing for Newcastle United, apparently he's aload of s**t

I've heard a few different names. Lorenzo Insigne, Luis Muriel, Mauro Zarate and Burak Yilmaz.

We should look at Jozy Altidore- ex Hull but great season in Holland and US national side. Majeed Waris or Dame N'Doye, two Africans who did well in Scandanavian leagues but not really settled into their Russian clubs since moving last year. Or we could look at Rhodes, who has done well and might fancy a crack at the premier league.

I like the Mclean to Celtic + cash for Hooper deal as that would benefit both clubs!

Zarate and Insigne would be very good signings
Muriel and Yilmaz would be super signings

Hooper would be lost in the prem, looks ok in Celtics team but in England Scunthorpe was about right,

Anybody also thinking the same way as me, 8 million to Schalke for Klaas Jan Huntelaar maybe 12 if they reject?

Of they fail to qualify for champions league, yes

Mcclean to celtic. I'll drive him ther myself.

Nobody seems to be mentioning who I think is an obvious target in the striker department
- KONE from wigan

I'd go for aruna kone, franco di santo or loic remy.

Morning,

my opinions are solely based on what I've read from the rumours below/BBC/tv etc.

firstly I think the bosmans are a good idea, and something i'm very happy about. but I don't think we can go and get super excited about people the majority of us have never heard about or seen play. so they will need to prove themselves, although I do like the look of the 2 CB's

but for me it is clear that di canio is trying to sort out the defence which i'm pleased about and ill be over the moon if we keep migs! and I agree with him getting the bosmans in these areas so we can spend money in areas that really need to improve. and to me that's central midfield, hopefully a playmaker. and a striker. based on stats alone I think we should go for bas dost. (Apologies if spelt wrong) his goal scoring record looks brilliant and he phisically looks capable to deal with the PL

i personally would get rid of mclean, and i'd be looking to pinch a couple of wigans players. malooney, mcmannam etc. and as an outside bet I wouldn't be surprised if we have a cheeky bid for Kone. not exactly exciting but he gets goals.

We need 3 other top strikers NOT one! after the debacle of last season surely we have learnt that strikers get injured and we need quality stand ins!

Im not saying we should only buy ONE! if you read my post it clearly mentions 2 strikers. i'm very well aware we need strikers but other areas of the team must improve which are just as important.

Don't think we should risk going for McMannaman
•He had 1 good game agains Man City
•Remember McClean last season, though we got a bargain, didn't turn out so good this year did he, same will happen to McMannaman

Agree with that but as PDC is a striker and hopefully he will make strengthening in that area a priority!

Di Canio has said the club could do with major spending this summer (around 40m), this has been backed by the club and owner as well as the fans (including myself).
Di Canio said he wants at least 6 or 7 new faces at the stadium of light this summer, with 3 or 4 bosmans already in place (who don't cost anything), expect around 3 top quality buys this summer {Ed024's Note - I'd be really suprised if we spent that much ...probably only 07/08 have we approached spending that ...that was when Kenwyne Jones, Gordon, Richardson and Chopra etc were signed.

Apparently we only have £20 mill to spend

Apparently from where, everyone is saying we only have 20m, how do you know, I bet the owner hasn't made his mind up yet

All depends on what players are available and weather they represent value can't see us paying over 15mill for anyone will be happy with 6 or 7 bosmans me like if there is a bit of class.

Maybe he's getting many Bosmans so he can spend a lot if money on a couple of class players rather than spending average money in average players

Bosmans hopefully
diakite, roberge, cabral & el hadja ba

then spend cash on following
£8m - Burak Yilmaz
£6m - Keisuke Honda

team then
migs
roberge, diakite, oshea, colback
sessegnon, cabral, catts, johnson
yilmaz, fletcher

bench - westwood, cuellar, vaughan, ndiaye, ba, honda

Ed, how much money do you think Di Canio will spend in the transfer market? {Ed024's Note - Its a Guess but after concentrating on Bosmans initially I'd say he has a £15-£20 Million commitment from Short
