Just seen Altidore on Youtube, what a player, just an unbelievable tank
Fletch and Altidore up front will be fantastic but with the departing Sess, we need a creative link up player between midfielders and the forwards, any suggestions?
Believable7
Unbelievable1
What did Sess ever create, we've needed one of them all season {Ed024's Note - Sess scored 7, had 3 assists so a goal about every 5 games games and an assist every 12 games - so fair to say not his most creative season.}

Giovinco would be very optimistic, taarabt could be on a cheap from a relegated club, Duncan has been on the cards for ages but if we can get two more wingers Johnson could be adapted to play in the cam position.

Would love Giovinco
Taarabt is one of the most wasteful players iv ever seen

You can not blame sessegnon for fletcher being injured and the other strikers not being good enough to take chances! I bet he was in the top 10 players of chances created last season! What did larsson create and score? Exactly! So let's lay off sess and look at the rest of them. If larsson spent more time playing football than he did being a tool and shouting at referees then he might be decent! I am fed up of safc fans giving grief to sess and colback and never mention larsson! The worst midfielder I have seen in years in a sunderland shirt! Get rid of him paolo please!

I hope we offer Altidore decent wages otherwise well lose him like Mendy and Peruzzi!. we can't expect to get top players with low wages!
Agree2

Mavrias will be the link player in my opinion. I've seen him a couple of times and I reckon he's being lined up as sessegnons replacement. Very good young player.

Totally agree Larson has been kept because he takes the odd good free kick but pretty poor rest of the time
Agree3
Disagree1
As Ed has said, Sess created 3 chances last season and, as I wouldn't knock the fact he scored 7, 3 assists is pathetic. I would also agree about Larsson but actually like Colback as a squad player, local lad who gives his all.
Agree1
Disagree1
Dave the mackam, you are officially my hero. Been saying about larsson for a year and if I was a ref i'd punch him. {Ed024's Note - That may be a little excessive}
Agree1

2 above did u even read the post? I like colback and would defo keep him and sess did not only create 3 chances he had 3 assists there's a difference so pipe down and understand the game before you come on here talkin rubbish! End of the day its you who looks like a mug!

Is Mendy signing or are Cardiff hijacking the deal as it is being reported? {Ed024's Note - I can see PDC pulling the plug if Mendy even mentions he wants to speak to Cardiff}
Believable5
Unbelievable1
I wouldn't even worry about it, if we get him we get him and if we don't we don't. Sure Paolo has plenty of other options.
Agree3

Forget about Mendy, seems like he's messing around, rather have someone who wants to play for the club, without hesitation.
Agree2

He's been pictured in front of the sol so I wouldn't sweat it its just because nothing's been announced yet.

It looks as if we will get Jozy Altidore and PDC will play him and fletch up front
We will need a couple of Quick players around him, Johnson is quick but who else?
Need a left winger, a central Midfeilder and probably another forward with a bit of pace to help get the ball up the field to the strikers because we play counter attack alot

I see we've made a second offer for Altidore. also Cardiff are trying to hijack Mendys proposed transfer,, mind can they offer him more wages as that seems to be the sticking point on incoming transfers to Sunderland at the moment? should we compete more on wages to get these players in. or say no to their " ransom "demands? {Ed024's Note - If Mendy wants to go to Cardiff cos they will pay him a bit more then be my guest - we need a bit more commitment than that.}

cavanda's agent has said he could still sign for us. What is the source of these rumours that peruzzi isn't signing? Safc93

Apparently peruzzi wants £45k aweek and we are only prepared to offer £30k aweek

Get really sick of the board at sunderland. If you want to go for players from clubs like inter Milan you have to pay the going rate. If you don't want to pay the wages don't go for these types of players.
Agree5
Disagree8
If these player have been identified to take the club from the brink of relegation to mid table or even a European place it worth paying the going rate. Look at clubs like Cardiff already getting their target early. I am not saying let's do a QPR but obviously we need a vast improvement on last season.
Agree2
Disagree5
Need to get used to the facts - SAFC is run a business not a club for fans {Ed024's Note - I think all EPL clubs fall into that category ......look whats happened to Portsmouth.}
Agree3
Disagree1
I doubt he's even on 5k a week atm, if the info on the internet is right, his salary is listed as 250,000 euros a year
Agree0
Disagree0
Apart from the fact that Milan is not, so far as I know, in Argentina, I think it very unlikely that Peruzzi earns anything like £2m a year as a relatively junior member of a Primera Division side. Few players aged 21 can command a wage equal to 50% of their transfer fee. Like everyone else on this site, I have no idea why (if?) negotiations have broken down, but there is no doubt that we have significantly overpaid players in the past (still do) and we know that wage rate does not equal performance- indeed for some of the current squad it has seemed to be a cue to commence the easy life rather than an incentive do their best for the club. So we should not get too depressed about missing out on such players. We have enough mercenaries who are being paid for qualities they forgot to bring to the northeast with them.
Agree7
Disagree0
You have to pay inflated rates, you have to expect this.
I am not being funny, but why would some of these players join you for similar money at better clubs?
You were in a relegation battle last season, players want paid for their troubles to come to a club that isn't an attractive prospect. {Ed024's Note - I understand now, thats why you haven't signed anyone yet !!!!}
Agree4
Disagree3
Nice comeback ED LoL
Agree3

What like the 40k we gave bramble a week what did safc get in return for that sfa. something wrong if players only want to come for money in my eyes if they don't want to play for the club then on your way this club should never be held to ransom for money if we do then like someone else said we will go the same way as clubs like Portsmouth and leeds.
Agree0
Disagree0
Look at West Brom Anelkas on 50 grand a week. if you want quality you need to spend the wages. mind some players are greedy if Peruzzi is just here for the cash then. look elsewhere PDC!

Ive been waiting all day for the new promised Newcastle signing. I've been busy, who did they sign?
Agree0

Yes the mags are after Kone its a choice for him between Everton or the Toon for him. no choice really is there lol

Anelka is a mercenary goes wherever the money is if things start getting tough at wba he will phone a sickie in
