I don't claim to know anything that hasn't already been said, but it seems to me that, as neither Ba nor Altidore have been announced but both seem to be in Italy or at least on their way, the club is holding back to announce them together.
It wouldn't surprise me if they do a double anouncement in Italy or even wait until they are back and do a mass one if anybody else is signed.

Benteke handed in transfer request, doubt we'll get him but a cheeky bid wouldn't hurt
Don't hold your breath
The boy believes his own hype, he'll get a big club and he'll flop. 1 season syndrome. but that being said, I hope i'm wrong
He'll go to a bigger club. Short won't pay the money
Newcastle aren't interested, he's not French, a cousin doesn't count.

Dont see why people are getting worried the transfer market hasn't been open to long we have been most active and we will get full backs in time for the new season well done to PDC in he signings up till now and hope we get a few big names in maybe Anderson woud love that craigsafc
Full backs? Don't we just love them, if we ever get any
Plenty of great full backs out thre but as you see PDC only wants players who are proud to wear our colours and players with the right work ethic don't see anything wrong with that craigsafc
Anderson? you cannot be serious
I was just stating Anderson would be the type of player I would want someone with prem experience calm down its a banter page people take comments to serious craigsafc

Ed is it true that we have turned attentions to orban again and if peruzzi doesn't come do you think we will get cavanda {Ed024's Note - Yes Orban is in the frame and the Cavanda deal is not dead.}
Peruzzi deal isn't dead, still in talks
Just his, twisted, greedy, arrogant, awkward, agent
08 Jul 2013 22:10:34
i see the Peruzzi and Mendy transfers are off. so where now /. no regular right or left full backs and Spurs are keeping us waiting on Rose. and Bardsley looks as if he is away too. not the sort of news we expected Paulo, in fact he Peruzzi transfer saga has turned into a big argument with the club his agent and the press. does anyone think we are underestimating the value of a 4 capped Argentinain international ? {Ed024's Note - Nope - none of our other signings whinged about the money. If he wants to come, he'll come - if he wants to use money as an excuse - despedida. It also sends a clear message to the agent community that we wont be taken for a ride, if his club thinks its a fare deal that's good enough for me, Peruzzi gets 15% of that fee plus his wages, get a grip man.}
South American transfers never that easy often with shared ownerships
Peruzzi deal isn't off, the story on the sky site is old. Don't trust everything sky write.

GK - Westwood
RB - Perruzzi, think we will still get him, just got a di*k head of an agent (5m)
CB - Diakite
CB - O'Shea
LB - Rose (7m)
RM - Johnson
CM - N'Daiye
CM - Huddlestone (5m)
LM - Giaccherini (9.5m)
ST - Altidore (6m)
ST - Fletcher
This would be a great starting eleven. let's hope.

El hadji ba has been spotted in Italy wearing sunderland training kit
7SAFC7
Is he stalking us or signing for us because this is getting a bit weird
No official announcement has been made about Altidore or Ba, but they seem to be already in Italy or heading there now
My guess is, the club will hold off for a bit and then announce them 2 together, and maybe, another couple of superstars too, Rose, Giaccherini etc, never know, PDC said there is plenty of work being done behind closed doors
08 Jul 2013 19:52:52
Edd can u answer me 2 questions is fletch going t b fit for season and have we actually put bid in for Danny rose. cheers {Ed024's Note - Fletch should be fit for start of season but may miss most of pre-season which would mean he would not be match fit for Fulham. As far as I can tell PDC has asked to be kept informed if Rose becomes available - this will depend on who Spurs sign.}
No S**t Sherlock I mean ED {Ed024's Note - If you don't like the truth don't ask}
08 Jul 2013 14:29:29
Thought Alidore was having a medical this morning still nothing on sky. Is he signing today ED? {Ed024's Note - As far as I can tell its done and he's on his way to Italy - not sure why no announcement - maybe the PR girl has finished for the day !!!!!}
There's a video of him walking in the aol on sky tune and wear and it has been mentioned on sky
You mean waddling in
08 Jul 2013 09:53:06
hi ed how much do villa still owe us for bent and do you think we should knock it off the 5 they want for him and stick a bid in {Ed024's Note - I think Villa will owe us very little, if anything maybe just the proceeds of a sell on clause. I don't like the way he left so would not be in favour of a bid for him.}
08 Jul 2013 20:51:02
is there any new midfielders linked with us?
Anderson
08 Jul 2013 19:57:47
Altidore is all signed up. Has flew from Newcastle airport to Gatwick to get a plane to Verona, were the lads are training. All that is missing is confirmation from SAFC.
You're not the same poster who claimed Peruzzi had signed at 23. 33 on the 11th by any chance are you?
Get in brilliant news HA WAY THE LADS
Nah. I'm Alex. 15. My post was from SAFCsource on twitter.
A few rumours doing the rounds is that altidore failed his medical so is having a second one that's why the deal is taking so long not sure on medicals ed but do you know if this happens. also on the Peruzzi deal it seems that the agent is not happy with his deal and threatened to walk away from Peruzzi. plus the club have stated that Peruzzi would get 15% of the 5mill transfer if he took our deal so the chairman is lost for words and can't see what the problem is not bad for a young kid 30k a week plus 750k signing fee myself I think he might have been tapped up {Ed024's Note - Possibly - Velez are keen for the deal to go through as the want the fee - agent sounds like he's trying to cover his arse - the deal was there - he chanced his arm and asked for more and Sunderland said no, he's now in a difficult position, looks like he's over promised to Peruzzi - its a wait and see job now.}
Altidore probably fall through the treadmill he's that big!
If he failed his medical he would be on a plane back to Amsterdam not Italy!
He was not fit enough to fly today, so I have put him in cardboard box with some straw and a cup of water and some bits of bread and a towel over the top, I will take him to park in morning and hopefully he will be ok to fly again. If not I will inform ED and he will surely state the obvious again. {Ed024's Note - Are you sure - you've posted on an Altidore thread but I guess your meaning Fletcher - did you have a towel over your head ?}
08 Jul 2013 19:35:05
Peruzzi has apparently turned down our offer. According to tv. Don't think we'll ever sign a full back
Heard it's old news cropping up again
It'll be alright man, Both clubs are desperate for the deal to happen, no point stayin at a club where he's not wanted
Remember the Fletch and Johnson deal last year, on, off, on, off, on
Got to be philosophical about this. What we want are players buying in to what Di Canio says and not the greedy agents whispers about money.
A fit wes brown is as good as anybody at right back,, fingers crossed danny rose left back
Think we should get cavanda signed and call the agents bluff. These parasites are the scourge of football!
Whats a fit Wes Brown?
Brown was good when he was fit
Football is a buisness and his agent will try and get the best for him everytime. if you go for a job you want the best money you can get
But by doing that you good totally mess things up and get no money, what a sh*te agent
08 Jul 2013 09:38:49
cattermole has been linked with a move to hull or fulham for 2m. Safc93
Good riddance 2 million towards a midfielder that isn't injury pron and doesn't get red cards all the time liability
Is £2M enough to justify him going?
We paid a lot more and, OK, he has been suspended and injured but we know suspension comes with the territory!
He's not desperate to leave and is currently our club captain; I think he's worth more than that.
I love how melted welly face brucie is takin all the muck off sunderlands hands!
Jonnysafc
Id want atleast 4mill for catts
A little cheeky of them both just £2m for Catts! Testing the waters and seeing how badly we want to get rid! RAW74
Glad Westwood is staying
At least you got 100% from cats. I think he, ll be a loss to the team
Ridiculous that fee ! should be at least £4 millon! are we having a fire sale!
Di canio can train em off the pitch but catts is the man to make them winners on the pitch can't see any of the new lads being capable of that this year, we need to keep him
You've got a winner in DiCanio what a heart, given time he'll make Sunderland great again, he loves the game like McShaggy loves women, (the new Hull keeper)
Sess, was with the squad,
Don't think he's leaving
"Di canio can train em off the pitch but catts is the man to make them winners on the pitch can't see any of the new lads being capable of that this year, we need to keep him"
That is the stupidest thing I've ever read. Catts is the man to make them winners on the pitch? Ha ha ha ha ha!

Everyone saying need a quicker center forward. Fletcher and alitdor will do us fine what we need is a center mid who can deliver a good thru ball. Alitdor can make it happen from outside the box. Fletcher can do more than we think the only reason he didn't get more goals was he had to track back to half to get the ball and square guys up. Like PDC say RELAX were in good hands HA WAY the lads
Pace is hugely important in the modern game as is good movement both with and without the ball.
These things are a must to break down well organised sides unless you are set up for the long ball game and hope to feed off the chaos.
At the top level, football is moving towards being a non-contact sport!
Altidor is quick.
Did you see the video of him running through 3 or 4 defenders before scoring? I think he will be alright in the prem. safc93
Emile heskey was quick
And what happens if Altidore gets injured? Still need another pacey striker.
Fletcher is goosed, won't see him for a while
Fletcher is fit and ready to go
Carsten Fireguard was supposed to be quick, anyone been on the Trans Pennine Express before? Quick soup is only quick if you don't count the time it takes to boil the kettle and open packet and stirring it for 10 mins and if it cools down.
08 Jul 2013 02:04:06
Isn't it a bit ironic the positions that we desperately need filling ie fullbacks seem to be the ones we're struggling with the most. Still plenty of time though in pdc I trust.
Not complaining here but why do all our transfer's turn into summer long saga's? And does anyone have any genuine info on the Rose situation. Surely the club realise that his signing will put backsides on seats at the SOL.
I don't think transfers are any slower than they ever were just with modern technology and with sites like twitter the public just knows earlier in the deal what's happening. We didn't see any of these things (such as this website) when I was kid!
Certainly agree that todays media facilities allow fans greater insight into transfer dealings but I also get the impression that players drag there heels before signing on the 'red & white' dotted line, hoping a better offer comes in. After all we haven't exactly put ourselves in the shop window with over a decade of inept campaigns. Its a huge catch 22 situation that we find ourselves in. Where not ready to sign top name players, nor can we pay top dollar wages. Paolo's no-nonsence attitude could well be the way forward because a raft of second rate players at SOL have proven to be executioner to some promising managers over that time scale. I whole heartedly believe that messrs McCarthy, Keane, Bruce & Oneil (although all had there failings) where massively let down by there players. As a club we have to loose this internal virus to progress!
Change for young Louis Laing & John Egan then
Agree with the above comment about long drawn out transfer sagas! why is it that most of the other clubs seem to conclude transfer targets much more quickly!
Weve signed more players than any other premier league club so far this transfer window. How can we be accused of not running our transfer business properly compared to these same clubs? Its the 8th of July for gods sake.
No news is good news on this site as its all rumours anyway. The reason players have not signed any quicker is because they have not signed yet, and this site is the last place to know. {Ed024's Note - Of course its all rumours ...its a rumours page. If you don't want rumours ....go somewhere else.}

Jozy Altidore has arrived in the NE a couple of hours early
07 Jul 2013 23:56:49
Looks like elhadji ba has traveled to italy, maybe with the squad? He mentioned it on his twitter
