Looks like its Bolton lookin at Dudek

oh and well said PSI

Looks like keane has pulled the plug on the nugent deal and withdrawn his offer, apprently dfoe is the next target, it's not looking good for them no big signings.

I see Roy Keane was at the England U21 match last night. I assume he was watching Nugent.

Gotta love his style, got a pain in his bollix waiting on Nugent to make his mind up so pulled the plug

Hes dead right, if a player needs over a week to think about leaving an average championship side to go and play for a p'ship team with massive potential

I think Nugent has been waiting for Everton to make an offer but it doesn't look like that has happened. I can understand his concerns about Sunderland as well, this is a big move for Nugent and does he want to be back in the championship again in 12 months?

S'Land have been relegated already?
That was quick. Thanks for the news Fred.

Who won the league btw? I think I missed that as well.

Sunderland don't exactly have a great record in the premiership, over the last few years anyway. The three teams that come up are always the favourites to go back down and I expect Nugent would have liked to see some bigger signings before he went there.

No need to get all high and mighty about it.

Sunderland sign CHopra, a good player in the championship last year. Id be suprised if he can sut it in the premiership to be honest but we'll soon see!

At least he's better than the likes of connolly.

Mr Alan · 11-07-2007 01:38PM

i think i might cry with happiness if Sunderland get relegated this year

ciaran76 · 11-07-2007 01:40PM

I can't believe he cost £5 million. Players prices are very over inflated at the moment.

Koumas being 1 for example.

Rollo Tamasi · 11-07-2007 01:44PM

5m bid turned down for Gordon.
Have never seen him play. How good is he?

Being a west brom fan im pretty pleased with that,hes a good player in the championship. he wont be able to run around people in the premiership though. 5.3 mil and gera's there to replace him. hopefully we'll get a good bit for camara aswell. And then we'll be on track. I hope to god we hold onto davis though. He's a quality player.

He is brilliant - has the potential to be a great keeper.

He is a good shot stopper and a natural leader but has done one or two stupid things while playing for Hearts in Edinburgh derbys. He is young too and with a decnt back four (like any keeper) could be very good.

Diomansy Camara for £6m to Fulham, you must be over the moon, the world has officially gone barking mad:D

That may well turn out to be a good signing, but he won't get much chance to make a name for himself, if he does not deliver straight away, the Mackams will get on his back pretty quickly.

Yeah, thats a joke. To be fair, he's ****. Same price as nugent. Almost as much as bellamy, whos way better.

Chopra's still fairly young, he has the makings of a good player, but against top end premiership defenders i cant really see him doing much.

Raskolnikov · 11-07-2007 09:17PM

Silly money to pay for a player who only cost £750,000 last season.

I heard last night on Newstalk that Sunderland sold all their corporate boxes for their 1st time in their history. Good for them.

kensutz · 16-07-2007 04:37PM

Dickson Etuhu is in talks with Sunderland. Not officially confirmed by NCFC but I know for certain he's in talks with the club.

Im_No_Superman · 16-07-2007 05:51PM

Kieran Richardson signs up. Will be very interested to see how he gets on, I dont think he is a terrible player just not good enough for United, think he could perform quite well at sunderland where the pressure on him isnt as big.

I think he will keep Sunderland in the premiership.

maxi-twist · 17-07-2007 01:02PM

Sign etuhu, he any good?

Told you so and no, 1 million pound made from his departure after we only bought him for 450k. A player who will show up in 3 or 4 matches and then disappear for the rest of the season. Had very few good games for us so we made a profit.

Rollo Tamasi · 17-07-2007 02:19PM

Keane hasn't been too great in the transfer market, has he?
None of the players he has bought have proven premiership quality.

Richardson - Flashes while at loan at WBA two seasons ago, hasn't consistently played since then.
Anderson - Never heard of him before Keane signed him.
Chopra - Did well in the championship after failing to set N'Castle alight.
Halford - Never heard of him before Keano came in.
Etuhu - I have heard of him but never seen him play before.

If he managed to pick up Gordon and Alan Smith then he will be doing well but even at those two potential signings, he is still probably three players away from having a squad capable of withstanding relegation IMO.

Is he panic buying squad players?

PHB · 17-07-2007 05:06PM

None of the players he has bought have proven premiership quality.

3 of the players he has signed you've never seen play. I think Richardson is a good enough buy to keep them up, I think they'll finish mid-table, probably in the lower side of it.

yabadabado · 17-07-2007 06:29PM

think richardson will be a good buy 4 sunderland not a bad footballer but no where near good enough for united.still think keane needs about 3-4 new players preferably wit premiership experience who they will be tho is the big question.smith,gordon and another defender and they mighn't be too bad id say he will be lookin at a few loan moves aswel.starting 11 next season anyone?

yes, they all came from the championship having never played in the premierleague therefore are unproven

Not too familar with the squad but if it was a 4-4-2 I would imagine it would be close to this...(not sure who they have at LB)

- - -- - - - - - Ward
Halford - Nosworthy - Collins - ?????
Edwards - Kavanagh - Whitehead - Richardson
- - - - - -Murphy - Connolly/Chopra

I suppose it's not much different from the Reading in terms of quality really...

yabadabado · 17-07-2007 06:58PM

think keane will try baines again that wud be lb sorted and anderson will start at cb
