Apparently Man Utd want £6million for him

 

He came from the same club as Soljskaer, Molde. Scored 30 in 60 appearances for them

 

 

An eye for goal and quick but would SAF let him go if he is that good?

Well he was shite for Blackburn last season!

Very close to being completed.. there must be at least 50 links here saying so:

 

Turkish google

 

and that cost Sunderland nothing in terms of fees

Signing on and agent fees would be high though - neither of these players are great nor are they going to improve our 1st team. I'd prefer a class/up and coming out and out winger on-loan e.g. Leon, if we can't find someone in this ilk then we've got Anichebe, Gueye, Barkley, Baxter who are still developing and could all potentially be better than Vaughan/Larsson should they be given their chance.

I'm all for players like N'Zogbia who will make our first team stronger as I am with signings like Velios and Gueye who could be developed into class players but signing average players as squad fillers just doesn't do it for me.

Kenwright said we're operating at an annual loss of £5m each year - taking Yak and Yobo off the wage bill should sort that out just about and if we could get £5-6m I'd imagine that would go on loan fees and maybe even fellaini's new contract.

If we are to actually sign someone I believe it must be one of our 'star' players leaving to keep the books in check. I'd rather it be Bily or Heit though.

...also does anyone else believe this is Moysies penultimate season from reading that?

I've always kind of liked Kenwright but reading that has made me feel we have a bitter old man in charge of us... the 'you'll miss me when I'm gone' and 'no other chairman does what I do' gets me most.

This whole situation reminds me of Doug Ellis at the end of his Villa reign.

I feel numb!!!

thats actually fairly well written.

Bloody depressing though!!!

he's a player who suits us..he knows the club and the players..would a player who could be potentially worth 2 or 3 places..is that such a waste for a player who could give us 3 or 4 years?

Agreed

I hope we start out like this...

.................Howard.................

Nev......Jags......Distin......Baines

Barkley..Osman...Felli...Arteta

..........Saha........Beckford..........

I won't hold my breath though.

I'm going for 3-0 EFC - COYB!

Sunderland's signings from Bent/Henderson cash...

George McCartney on loan

David Vaughan on a free transfer

John O'Shea - £4.5m

Wes Brown - £1.5m

Roarie Deacon on a free transfer

Connor Wickham - £8m

Craig Gardner - £5m

Dong-Won Ji - £2m

Keiren Westwood on a free transfer

Sebastian Larsson on a free transfer

Ahmed Elmohamady - £1.75m

Add to that Segesson for £6m and Muntari on-loan and the probable signing of Krancjaer.

They're better off no doubt but would you sell our star player (Baines or Felli) and our potential star (Rodwell) for the list of players above?

 

 

Let's be honest, them selling henderson for £16m plus was like winning the lottery - he is an average player. From season 07/08 their net spend has been £58m - a net spend of near £12m per year.

 

They used Bent money to buy Gyan and Sessegon. The henderson money has already been spent and then some, wickham, gardner and o'shea already take them to £18m add on £6m for a few other signings like brown and they are at £24m without nico.

 

Krankjaer will likely be £6-8m - you cant get away from the fact that other clubs have boards who have the ability and willingness to invest in the team.

 

With Larsson and Krankjaer they will have good options across the midfield...

They played in the same Sunderland team!

They have spent a lot but who in their team would you have in ours?

I'd have Gyan and Seggesson maybe Wickam on potential... I would have had Bent and maybe Henderson on potential - so essentially they've sold their best players and bought a lot of average players who will probably make them stronger overall.

If Jags (£20m) + Yobo (£3m) + Yak (£3m) + Beckford (£4m) = £30m

and

Sturridge (£15m) + Onouha (£6m) + winger + couple of loans (striker/def) = £30m

would people be happy?

Please note this is very football manager and has no actual chance of happening!!!

Sunderlands 12th deal of the summer if it goes through.

Funded by selling Bent and Henderson though.

If we sold say Baines/Felli for £44m we could sign 12 average players.

Would we be entertaining the sale of Beckford to fund a loan move for sturridge? If so I'd prefer Sturridge over Beckford but where would that leave us this time next year if we couldn't make Sturridge perm/extended?

If there was any link to losing Beckford (for closer to £5-6m) to fund an initial move for Sturridge with future options then I'd encourage any such move.

Looks set for a move to Sunderland.

Good - wouldn't want him as our wing solution - we have too many unnatural wingers already!

Yak and Yobo for Keane and Bentley?

Each duo are stagnent at current club - who would benefit more from this totally made up deal?

seems there was no point opening this!

 

edit: maybe not:

I still have my doubts.

yes please

Echo'd!

Boas has already said he's part of their plans but how with Drogba, Anelka, Torres, Lukaku, Kalou?

 

Are you sure it's not one of those American Werewolf thingies?

I did put surely not on original post!

It surely would have been breaking news if true... nothing surprises me at the mo!

Just spoke to my mate after a 23 hour shift - he's got a few hours off before another likely 20 odd hours...

we had 2 hours of sustained petrol bombs and masonry hitting us in between us charging at them with sheilds in hackney... don't worry I'm bashing some of them for you!

He also said he can't see EFC being on this w/e.

 

What is it? I can only make out a wing mirror.

A fooking tiger!!!
