Peruzzi has agreed personal terms with SAFC will have a medical in the coming days then travel to Italy to join up with the squad along with Alitdore.

Unbelievable2
This is what makes me sick Peruzzi was happy with the first offer SAFC offered him but his agent told him to reject it as they really wanted to sign him and would offer more wages and a bigger signing fee. SAFC have increased there offer which has been accepted. But this deal would have been already done if it wasn't for his greedy agent looking for more money for his pocket. Should put a rule in place where a agent gets the same amount of money no matter the package offered to stop this and save clubs money.

Rumours are that Sessegnon could be off to either France or the UAE and that Vaughan and Cattermole will join Elmohammady and Bruce at Hull and Cuellar to Real Mallorca. Possible signings look to be Peruzzi deal all but done, Huddlestone Very likely, Altidore Definitly also Cavanda maybe and loans for Vydra and Bessa very possible but no deal for Duncan but possibly still a chance on Rose
Team could look like this ( Fulham 17th August)
Westwood
Peruzzi
Diakite
O'Shea
Rose
Johnson
Huddlestone
N'Diaye
Bessa
Fletcher
Altidore
subs: Mannone, Roberge, Cavanda, Cabral, Larsson, Vydra and Graham
For me this could be a good season top 10 hopefully and ahead of the Geordies and hopefully 6pts off them too utbc
Believable4
Unbelievable3
If we can get decent money for those listed above, I wouldn't be too upset losing any of them.
That said, notwithstanding the recent influx of players, all of them would need replacing; three of them were regular first team players last season.

Mavrias .

What about Wes Brown? Prominent in pre-season training sessions - keep him fit and he's like a new signing.

Na it'll look like this!
Westwood
Peruzzi
Diakite
O'shea
Rose
Johnson
Cabral
Sessegeon
Giaccherini
Altidore
Fletcher
Subs, mannone, colback, Larsson, Gardner, graham, Roberge, mandron

A fit catts would be the perfect skipper to bond all these new boys together on the pitch stop them being overawed at anfield etc and underwhelmed at places like the wonga, seriously though a fit catts is a must for the coming season
Agree3
Disagree4
We need a new centre half to replace john o'shea i'm sorry but the guy is too slow and is absolutely woeful at passing a ball, I don't know why everybody has him placed in there ideal first teams next season, obviously yous haven't been attending the games and seen how bad he actually is.

If we don't get rose then jack will be first choice lb

Johnny Safc, been to every home and away game last year and still disagree with you. John O'Shea needs to be put alongside a younger pacier centre half than cuellar I admit but his experience will be vital as it was in a few games last season which we could easily have lost. We did actually keep a fair few clean sheets but cuellar is way past his best and it showed at times. let's put it into perspective, I can't remember the last time pre di canio where we outplayed someone, west ham and reading at home maybe so you'd expect a little less pressure on the centre backs next season now we have a manager who actually attends a training ground. We were dreadful before Di Canio, really really dreadful so i'm happy with whatever team he puts out first game, every part of me is telling me to trust the new Sunderland regime including Ellis Short.

Is this thing about Graham going in loan true
It's pointless, we already know he can score goals, it's just he's lacking abit of confidence
Would rather send Wickham out on loan
Believable5
Unbelievable7
An I the only one who doesn't blame graham, the lad can score just needs a stronger midfield to supply him, the only reason he gets sounded out is because he is a G0rdi3, the lad will come good, our strikers next year, fletcher, altidore, graham and wickham or wicks on loan and get in hooper
Agree6
Disagree4
The problem with those strikers you mentioned 1st commenter is that there is no pace to get behind the defence or chase the lose balls
Agree2
Disagree0
I rate Wickham and think he will be fine; he's still a raw kid in terms of PL experience. As for Graham, the jury's still out for me and I wouldn't be sad if we could recoup our outlay from January and he went elsewhere.
That said, would still like another one (or two if Graham goes) quality strikers signed in addition to Altidore.
Agree2
Disagree1
Still not enough variety about them, need smaller silkier pacier player to compliment them. zarate or vydra maybe. Although I don't knock grahams work rate we need something more than that if we do want to kick on from last season. i'm sure there are plenty of quality players out there who possess a strong work rate like grahams, there's a reason why swansea didn't start him. michu. who cost just 2 million. that's what having a strong scouting system does for you. POP ROBSON!
Agree2
Disagree1
Ridiculous really keep Graham loan out Wickam!
Agree2
Disagree3
We still need a pacey striker in my opinion. Altidore isn't super quick and if he picks up a knock we're back to square one. Pdc will see us right!
Agree1
Disagree0
How can anyone in their right mind rate wickham on what they have seen up to now the lad either needs to be sold or go out on a season long loan

Ed asked you a few weeks ago what you think our starting 11 would be head on the block time again you got a few right with the last attempt what do you and others think it will be relistically craigsafc {Ed024's Note - Best guess - Westwood, Peruzzi or Cavanda, Oshea, Diakite, Mendy????, Johnson, Colback or Cabral, Ndaiye, Giaccherini, Fletcher, Altidore. Mendy would be the big doubt - as he's only 18 I think he might be getting pressured into doing what his mam is telling him to do i.e. stay in France.}

Once we get these youngsters signed up, Peruzzi, Mavrais etc
We need to get 3 or 4 Top Quality players for the final touches of the PDC revolution

ST-Altidore

Altidore is signed

We seem to be up in the air as far as full backs are concerned we need to sort these out very soon whether its Peruzzi, Cavanda, Rose, Mendy, Orban or uncle tom cobbly and all! {Ed024's Note - Who does Cobbly play for ???}
Believable2
Unbelievable0
Mendy already training with his new club, OM of France
Agree2
Disagree0
Cobbly is the Toons latest and only signing lol
Agree1
Disagree0
Our lack of full-backs has troubled me since the Roy Keane era and, notwithstanding all of the "done deals", we are still without any of Rose, Peruzzi, Orban, Mendy or Cavanda.
We have some centre backs and midfielders that can play full-back and that is fine for cover but we need specialists in that position and I am really keen to see two or three arrive sooner rather than later.
Agree1

07 Jul 2013 16:53:22
Would Altidore get 1st team or would PDC have Fletch up front on his own {Ed024's Note - I would hope that 442 would be his home formation with both upfront - might need to change things away depending on opposition.}
Believable4
Unbelievable1
Will Fletch be fit for the begining of the season? or even pre season? {Ed024's Note - Should be fit for season - touch and go for the Hong Kong tournament ?}

If Flecher is even touch and go for the Hong Kong tournment then we should hang on to JI and Sess till we get more strikers in!

If Newcastle wanted him we could sign him, even now.

Ed are the Peruzzi, Altidore, Mavrias deals all at the same place (need to undergo a medical and sign a contract) I would sign all of them up on 4 year deals {Ed024's Note - Altidore and Mavrais just details to sort Peruzzi still to agree personal terms.}
Believable4
Unbelievable0
Mavrais Medical will be later next week, getting over an injury
Agree4

Peruzzi would be a real coup for us, I hope we get his one over the line. I have to admit I am absolutely buzzin from all of this transfer activity! Ed, who do you reckon we will have realistically signed come the first game? {Ed024's Note - I think we've got to be realistic - if we get Peruzzi Mavrias and Altidore then I'd be happy to add Cavanda and Giaccherini - but those two are far from guaranteed and who we try and get in depends on who leaves}

It's in the hands of the player really, remember when PDC said he didn't want to sell Migs, but because he wanted to go, not much the club could have done about it

07 Jul 2013 11:31:40
I definitely think N'Daiye deserves a starting spot in the team this season, since we got him in January he has got better and better every game.
Seen a couple of clips of him on YouTube and he isn't like Sessegnon who has a flair and charisma but Alfie is so tidy, he breaks up the play extremely well and then moved the ball up the field to the likes of Sess and Johnson.
Believable10
Unbelievable1
N'Daiye lot of raw potential. Was refreshing to see someone actually moving off the ball with pace

We have made an 8.6m bid for Juventus winger Giaccherini
Believable8
Unbelievable2
I hope we get him but apparently he wants to stay in italy. Safc93 {Ed024's Note - Could be his last move, 28 and not a regular in the Juventus side - depends how hungry he is, it's a wait and see job ? Will be interesting to see Juventus attitude - 8.6m for a player who doesn't always get into the team ?}

His coach has said he's not for sale

07 Jul 2013 10:47:44
Looks like Mendy is in favour if a move to Marseille
I don't mind really, even if Marseille pull out of the deal we should refuse to sign him, If he is looking to go to other clubs he will never show full commitment to us.
Now we should go out and get Rode, Spurs want 7m, pay it, he's worth it {Ed024's Note - His family prefer a switch to a French based team....they don't want him to leave France, as he's only 18 that family pressure could be telling.

Can't deny he has talent, but he has a court case and could end up in jail, and he has high wages

A possible rapist. no!
Agree4

He's on bail and he won't go to you, he'll go to arsenal or a German club. {Ed024's Note - Would be surprised if his bail conditions allowed him to leave country so Germany may be out. Guessing the court case is the reason why even your boys haven't put in a bid.}
Agree2
Disagree0
Just a shot in the dark, but does this man sound like the hungry young player PDC is looking for? A great trainer, professional in both private and public life and easily moulded into a new team. Or does he sound like a man interested only in a fast buck and distracted by the bright lights.
I think you've answered your own question unless you believe we don't do background checks on new signings!
