Excellent signing if they get him.

Looks like Leighton Baines is staying put.

Sunderland do seem to be having trouble landing any big talents (no Richardson does'nt count!), or is it asking too much in year-one back up when many have them marked for relegation.

Sunderland are in for Paul McShane. The guy has been a great talent ever since his days at the reserves at United. He was fantastic in the championship last season. I really hope he signs for them, he deserves to play premiership football.

eirebhoy · 26-07-2007 03:32PM

I couldn't speak highly enough of McShane. Potential to be top class imo.

Mr Alan · 26-07-2007 03:45PM

I'd agree, potential to be one of the best around.

syngindub · 26-07-2007 08:47PM

well he has signed according to BBC.

Great signing, and great price for him too. Hope he does well for them.

GuanYin · 26-07-2007 09:55PM

He has suspect hips from a medical, which is why his price was so low. Great potential though. Their best signing by far.

V9 · 27-07-2007 12:14AM

Quality signing tbh, has all the potential in the world to be a top quality defender. He's a determined little defender so he is, more luck to em at Sunderland

yabadabado · 27-07-2007 12:39AM

mcshane is a super signing for them.keane rates him very highly they tried for him in janurary aswel.heard the thing about the dodgy hips not to serious but it is wot has stopped him joining earlier on in the summer he was always one of their top targets

maxi-twist · 27-07-2007 11:37AM

Will he play RB then? I think he's a bit dicey at CB. He's got good pace and some skill too!

The_B_Man · 27-07-2007 11:43AM

With all this Heinze hassle, I wonder what the possibility of Keane getting Heinze til January or something...

None.
Sure Heinze apparently already made it clear he wouldn't go to Newcastle.

I wouldn't rule it out but I wouldn't back it to happen.
A lot will depend on where S'Land are in the league come December.

Hard to know where McShane is going to fit in at the back. Halford was bought for 3.5m and he is a RB and must be first choice. Nosworthy was their most improved player under Keane when he was converted from RB to CB and Keano also bought this Anderson (CB) fella.

I don't rate him at right back at all. He's a class little centre half imo. Cannavaro style.

PHB · 28-07-2007 02:57AM

He will play CB, no doubt about that.

Jonny Arson · 28-07-2007 12:09PM

I watched McShane on the TV a fair few times last season playing for West Brom in the championship and he looked average/poor on each occasion, even when i would just see West Brom goals on Sky Sports it seemed to be McShane clowning around for most of the goals

He's done well for Ireland no doubt but I would be very sceptical if he is going to hack it at Premiership level

What position? He played about 2 league games at centre half last season.

KdjaCL · 28-07-2007 09:33PM

Sunderland scout watching Quigley last night vs Cork, he played fairly well.

When does english window close? leeds want him but ehh having some issues at the moment, if o Donovan goes for 800k we could easily get over a million for him knowing our luck in the selling of players.

bbop · 29-07-2007 03:49PM

Sunderland have made a late bid for Roy O Donavon, just heard it there, Keane is confident he can change his mind over Fulham, he would still stay with Cork until the end of the season

eirebhoy · 29-07-2007 08:00PM

I'd rather he went to Fulham. It's bad enough having to watch Stokes being played out of position regularly even though he usually scored when put up front.

james123 · 30-07-2007 02:42PM

saw sunderland on the weekend they had a pretty good backline but attacking they seem to run out of ideas a bit flat and seemed to find it very hard to score against bohs they need to buy some firepower soon that have proven records

Rollo Tamasi · 06-08-2007 12:42PM

Keano is after confirming that he is interested in Mido. Not sure about that one tbh.

Also rumors are that Villa and S'land are going head to head to get Gordon this week.

Esse85 · 06-08-2007 02:24PM

Mido seems like a panic buy, his attitude stinks.

I'd like to see Mido try the "stroppy primadonna" act with Keane:D

ciaran76 · 07-08-2007 12:29PM

Gordon transfer fee is going to be 8-9 Million GBP ?

Whoever buys him are been taken to the cleaners IMHO.

Esse85 · 07-08-2007 12:49PM

I agree, typical of British players, there so over priced.

A Dub in Glasgo · 07-08-2007 01:33PM

Just proves there is so much money sloshing around the EPL

gustavo · 07-08-2007 03:14PM

Sunderland supposed to be interested in Seamus Coleman

SectionF · 07-08-2007 04:03PM

Keane’s motivational efforts, mixed in with a **** load of ’screaming for the sake of screaming’, isn’t going to be enough to keep the Black Cats afloat.
Keane hasn’t been very active in the transfer market (see quote below), which is unfortunate because Sunderland are not good enough for the Premier League.

Ouch! Enjoy!
