Transfer Rumours January 2016

A 3rd choice keeper only needs to be good enough to be 3rd choice. With that in mind I couldn't give a **** who he is. Anyone, so long as he's cheep.

 

Who's our goalkeeper coach? Do they need a hand? If we brought in someone like Paul Robinson wo's been there and done that then maybe he could help out on the coaching side as well as being 3rd choice. Not sure if he's got a club at the moment or whether he's still hanging round Blackburn.

 

Kenny Everett massive hands.

 

That sounds like a better idea.

 

Mon cherie` told my eagles soaring this story whrm the sun was high.

 

Rodwell to Valencia according to 'Spanish sources' via the Sun.

 

Phil Neville will know him from Everton mind you.

"And the award for strangest transfer rumour of the window goes to....Jack Rodwell to Valencia"

 

My thinking exactly

 

Harper confirmed till end of season. BBC.

Sunderland have signed former Newcastle goalkeeper Steve Harper on a deal until the end of the season.

The 40-year-old, who had been without a club since leaving Hull in May, will be third choice behind Vito Mannone and Jordan Pickford.

Harper played 199 times for Sunderland's rivals Newcastle from 1993 to 2013.

"Steve will be a positive addition to our goalkeeping stable," said Sunderland boss Sam Allardyce.

"He has vast experience at the top level and that can only be beneficial to Vito and Jordan as they continue to develop."

Sunderland sold goalkeeper Costel Pantilimon to Watford this week.

I think this is a good idea. It gives us a capable 3rd choice without spending any of the money we got for Costel.

 

Thats great for Pickford. Loads of experience to feed from.

 

Yep - and young Stycek, who seems to be doing o.k.

 

Linked with Debuchy this morning, was a good player at nufc but wasted at Arsenal.

 

Yes please.

 

Can you see him coming to us? Doubt it

 

Linked with villa last week.

 

Vidic is being linked with Villa now. We should be all over that one and break the bank for his wages, him being a free agent should help that.

 

Dreadful final months at United and nightmare at Inter, are you sure?! Break the bank for him? Couldnt agree less.

 

Yeah, I'm sure. He's clearly a class above anything we have at the moment and if we could get him on a short term deal until the end of the season, then I would be all for it.

 

This is why we should have gone for johnny evans.

 

I'm not sure about him, I think he's the same level of Sebastian Coates. He got carried in the Man Utd team, IMO.
