Bet its something pathetic like, our new doctor. GAnderson is normally completely full of it. If you were a journalist would you really wanna let someone else break or story, or would you want your name there to let everyone know it was you. (You would want credit for releasing it). Someone has basically told him what he is telling us so i bet he is guessing just as much. The fella isn't much cop, think it was him who tweeted no new signings last year and hours later it may have been AJ who signed
Was it Anderson that released a tweet saying "Huge news for /SAFC coming up at 11am" then it turned out to be One Dimension?
I agree, Cattermole is a really good player, but when you factor in injuries and suspensions he has very limited impact. The thing that gets on my tits about Cattermole is that I always get the impression that the injuries and the cards are avoidable. He seems to get injured because he always decided to come back early. Before you say that is the manager's fault, I always get the impression that Cattermole would tell a manager he was fine just to be included early. You can't fault that enthusiasm, but being a man and a leader demands a bit more between the ears. I also went off him when he was scratching cars down Stowel Street with Bendtner. I think he is an absolute child that has no control over his aggression or enthusiasm.
Agree sol - I would be disappointed to see him not have been a success for us that I believe he could've been but his fitness has been a problem - although the "scratching cars" story was a cover up for some academy kids that had too much to drink - him and Bendtner took the rap for the kids! Re the cards - I watched him get booked for winning the ball against West Ham - 2 minutes after a west ham player (Ilunga I think) got a yellow card for an OTT 2 footed tackle on Kieran Richardson - some are avoidable - others he gets booked simply for being Lee Cattermole - if him and Gerrard committed the same fouls in a season he'd get 12 yellows and 2 reds but Gerrard would probably get 3 or 4 yellows!
Its alfie n'daiye, not happy with this like http://m.sunderlandecho.com/sport/s...r-selling-n-diaye-as-turks-make-bid-1-5870516 ALFRED N’Diaye could be set for a return to Turkey after barely six months with Sunderland. The Echo understands there has been a serious offer for the French midfielder and the Black Cats are mulling over the proposal. Whether the interested side is Bursaspor – the club he arrived from at the start of the year – and whether the move is a loan or permanent, remains to be seen. But Sunderland are expected to make their minds up imminently on the Turkish approach and whether the former French Under-21 international stays or goes. Sunderland head coach Paolo Di Canio takes a 24-man Sunderland squad to Hong Kong this weekend and N’Diaye is named among the travelling party. But a firm offer is already on the table for N’Diaye and the Wearsiders are willing to listen to bids for most of their players. If N’Diaye is on the plane to the Barclays Asia Trophy, then the likelihood is he will be staying on Wearside. The deal moving him on could still be done before the August 31 deadline of course, but the offer is very straightforward as it stands and if Sunderland are genuinely interested then there is no reason to delay. That would mean N’Diaye staying behind this weekend and looking to progress the deal in much the same way as Danny Graham was allowed to return home from the Black Cats’ Italian training camp to formalise a loan move to Hull City. If N’Diaye does leave, it will bring to a close probably the most inglorious transfer window in Sunderland’s history. Martin O’Neill made three signings in the transfer window in January this year – Graham, N’Diaye and Kader Mangane. Graham cost £5m and failed to score a single goal in his 13 Premier League games, N’Diaye joined for £3.8m and, after a good debut, he struggled, though he did improve under Di Canio. And Mangane failed to feature during a single minute under O’Neill and was used barely by Di Canio. That window was the key to O’Neill’s departure, with owner Ellis Short having not wanted to spend at all in January but reluctantly sanctioning an outlay of more than £10m because he feared that relegation was a realistic possibility. Having signed the cheques, Short then saw his team fail to improve in the months that followed. None of the three new signings – all on big wages – made any real impact. If anything, the team’s performances got worse, a situation which ended in O’Neill’s dismissal and the installation of Di Canio as head coach. Should N’Diaye depart, it will be a surprise to most fans. Although the midfielder is far from the finished product, he showed some promise under Di Canio. Tall, powerful and athletic, and with the potential to improve, he fits the template of the sort of player Sunderland have their sights set on. It would be no surprise if N’Diaye was to play a significant role for the club this season. But the strong and genuine Turkish interest, coupled with the fact Sunderland are seriously considering it, suggests he could become another victim of Paolo Di Canio’s decision to massively overhaul the squad he inherited.

Remeber, as said before, this was the guy that promised massive news for the club and it turned out to be those ****ing stupid kids singing **** songs
i really hope he stays. it would be selling for the sake of it and leave a big hole in our midfield armoury unless we have a ready-made replacement lined-up. can't we flog them vaughan instead? just dress him up in cubans, shoulder pads, wig and make-up....
Good point mate, if we have had an offer, we should say no unless its double what we paid and we have people lined up
