What I think the team will look like next season
__________Forster__________
RB____Diakite__O'Shea____LB
__Cattermole___Leitner_____
Johnson___Insigne___Mertens
_________Fletcher_________

Ins: 40m

Outs: 38.3m
Mignolet 10m
Bardsley 2.3m
Gardner 4m
Larsson 4.5m
Sessegnon 9m
McClean 2m
Ji 2.5m
Graham 4m

We ain't going to get young up and coming talent from what are bigger clubs at this time so need to stop getting excited about it. No reason for dortmund and napoli to sell there best youngsters to us so it simply won't happen.

Dortmund will sell Leitner for around 7m
Napoli has said Insigne can go for over 10m
Mertens wants premier league

1 striker? Have u not learnt your lesson from last season? Would get rid of cattermole from the starting 11 and either keep ndiaye or stick another striker up there. Hooper, wickham, scocco, guidetti or finnbogason. Where did you find the Forster from. Was it another rumour or just your hopes.

What's the chances ed {Ed024's Note - I think we have a chance of Hooper, just cant see Napoli letting Insigne go, loan maybe ?}

The RB we are looking at is from Italy and the LB from Argentina catts will be off though I think

Cheers what about mertens

insigne looks a class act but hows about a punt on vladimir weiss, he's just as good and wouldn't cost nearly as much. others worth a punt-big money for guisseppi rossi or big wages for arshavin

Yeah
Would have all of them

We had Vladimir Weiss at rangers and to b honest was like sess not consistent and very hot and cold, stocker from Basel wld b good

Go on Ed, nobodies put anything interesting on here for last couple of hours so give us what you think our starting line up will be for the first game of the new season, all in the name of fun and debate. {Ed024's Note - Westwood, Orban, Colback, Oshea, Diakite, Cabral, Johnson, N'diaye, Sessegnon, Hooper, Fletcher - The full backs are a bit of a stab in the darl ! Subs from - Foster, Roberge, Gardener, Larsson, Vaughan, Cattermole, Graham} I think Maclean might be off to Celtic as part of a potential Hooper deal}

That's disappointing

Mignolet or Westwood
D'Ambrosio/Diakite/O'Shea/LB
Johnson/catts/attacking mid/Insigne
Fletcher/Striker

40million to spend
LB=4m
D'Ambrosio=4m
Attacking mid=8m
Insigne=13m
Striker=10m
Bosmans=Diakite, Cabral, Roberge, Ba

Outs 18.5m - 28.5m
Mignolet maybe=10m
Bardsley=2.5m
Gardner=4.5m
Larsson=5m
McClean=2m
Ji=2.5m
Graham=4m

I think you've gone a bit safe Ed - would expect as least one big ish name - although I rate Hooper very highly.

If Di Canio is prepared to let Sess and Migs go, he must have some pretty special Replacements lined up

sunderland fans

don't bite lads the skunks are only coming on here to have a few digs and wind ups because nothing is happening at the circus. at the moment all the rumours are linked to us weather they come off or not it is good being mentioned alongside some of the players named in the media we are going to make quiet a few signings so things are looking interesting. as for coco the clown pardew big mike has told him don't expect a lot of signings to come in over the summer maybe a striker and centre half does he not realise after last season his French foreign legion is not going to work. think they are definitely worth a fiver to go down lads

Mag here, no wind-up. Just to remind you that Steve Bruce used to say that you found it extra hard to sign quality because Sunderland's not the most attractive of places. That's the understatement of the year, IMHO. Means you have to pay over the odds, and will be most players' club of last resort. {Ed024's Note - Most EPL players live well out of city centres so how attractive a city is like means nothing - ever been to Manchester ? Distance from London can be a factor - look what Remy did last season - chased the money yes, but preferred London to the north east as well}

Sunderland not attractive?, what like the toon is, that's a good `un, dear me, ha ha.

I actually agree with the barcode on this one, most players don't live in the cities at all, most destinations are the outskirts like wynyard and country retreats in durham, I don't think we realise how good we have it up here in durham and northumberland, and neither do potential targets.
