We have paid worse players much more than Alex Bruce will get.!! Give him a chance, then again once everyone is fit he will be lucky to get a bench slot. IMO, Sonny Bradley - Danny East and Mark Cullen will be loaned out. SB as he needs to play at least league one level for now and East/Cullen to either shape up or ship out. Bruce snr should offer Sonny Bradley to a club like Scunny on loan for the season.
I have heard SB is talking to Sunderland about three players and one is definitely Elmohamady on a permanent. Newcastle friendly was cancelled on Police advice as well.
Just a thought wouldnt it be better loaning the likes of Bradley, East and Townsend to Championship clubs see if they can actually cut it in this league or is that too much too soon?
The chance is though that if they were loaned to a championship club they would just be on the bench cos if they were good enough they wouldnt need loaning out
Was thinking lower end teams, With small squads, wouldnt expect the likes of wolves etc to be in for them
Bradley and East can go out on loan, but I'd keep Townsend, I think we might have a bit of a star there and I'd like to see him stay in and around the first team.

Ok player, wouldn't really need him unless we sold Olofinjana or McKenna got a serious injury, would prefer James Bailey from Derby, who has been transfer listed, he is good mates with Aaron McLean...
They're both only 20 though. Especially with Cullen people have been far too quick to write him off, after all the goals he's scored at youth level he needs regular football somewhere, score some goals and then come back here and be close to becoming a regular. East has only played 2 games in his career, there's no chance he can be written off yet.
I used to go to school with Danny East; quality footballer (although he played upfront and now plays right back :S) BUT definitely needs to be loaned out somewhere. Even if it's Grimsby, did a lot of good for Townsend at the end of last year!
What did they expect to happen ? ffs, do the fuzz offer anything other than problems when it comes to football.? ++++++++++++ James O'Connor signs for Derby Country from Doncaster Rovers Fulham have had a bid for Udders Jordan Rhodes rejected. Blackburn also interested. TWS have offered £2m for Lesta striker Jermaine Beckford. This could be interesting. Ipswich Town manager Paul Jewell has ruled out a return On Loan for Conor Wickham from Sunderland. Does that mean a double swoop then by Steve Bruce up there ?? Gus Poyet looking to add 2 more players to his squad before the big kick off. He needs another midfielder and a striker.
Too soon. Danny East is only good enough for league 2 so maybe York City would be a good fit for him. As for Bradley and Townsend they can play league one IMO. But they all need to play each week.
