Sunderland have moved ahead of local rivals Newcastle in the race to sign £12million-rated Lille defender Aurelien Chedjou (People) ****e source but I remember you on about this bloke
Definitely the correct kind of CB we need Poolie. He is a ****ing unit, strong as an ox, his tackling is impeccable, and as you'd expect he's good in the air, although for a CB he isn't particularly tall, he's athletic as ****. The big reason I like the lad is he looks very at eased and rarely rushed on the ball, he's not taking on 8 men or pinging 70 yarders with the outer boot, but he used he ball well short to medium range, and that's what we've lacked for several years, probably Emerson Thome was the last decent ball player we had CB, Wes is decent, but he's constantly kippered, as we all know. I'd be delighted to get this lad, and I'd keep Mangane if the fee is as low as mentioned (below £2million), I think he'd cost in the £10million region though, I'd be surprised if it was as high as £12million. He was at Villareal at youth level, probably explaining why he's good with the ball.
