    I totally forgot about this lad he was great at wigan. If true could MoN get him playing well again.
    IMO he is worth 2.5m

    Sunderland will lure out of favour MF Wilson Palacios from Stoke for cut price £2.5m deal...to be complete by end of next week #SAFC #SCFC

    Unfortunately another crock lads his knees are shot. Agree he was decent for Wigan when he was there but has only played a handful of games for Stoke in 2 years mainly down to injury, another Mensah maybe.

    Certainly no better than Cattermole and not anywhere near as good IMO - has been dirty every time I've watched him play and he won;t get away with the stuff he has everywhere else when he plays for us (watch Skrtel last night for an example and then compare him to McClean's yellow card)

    When an ageing Dean Whitehead plays ahead of him I'd probably steer well clear.

    Ask yourself the question why does he not get a sniff at Stoke?
    I'd be gutted if these rumours were true.

    He's a small ball winning midfielder, something we don't need!
    We need a tall physical presence in the middle.

    But we do need a "Back up" for a small, ball winning midfielder when Cattermole is injured as he is at present - and we have had no presence at all in Midfield these last few games - by the way, this is not me chamioning the Palacios rumour - more that I could maybe see a reason for a short term addition to the squad in that ilk

    We have Colback and Vaughan to fill in for Catts. I really don't think we need a Palacios type player unless he is better than what we already have in which this case he isn't .

    All been said above. 2.5m A massive NO. When fit (not banned) it would be Catts/Palacios. When out Colback/Palacios. Exciting? Not.
