    They would have to be offering ridiculous wages to tempt him into signing for them. He may well go this summer for big money but I can't see him going to anybody not in european competition unless they are going to offer him Rooney wages.

    I think he'd work well with Big Sam though. Big Man (Dzeko) Small Man (Defoe). Classic Sunderland stuff. Think Quinn and Phillips.

    I see there is a rumor about us chasing Adam Ounas of Bordeaux? Source is Tribal Football; so a little tenuous...

    Random question to the group, but one I'm quite curious about. Is there another team in world football that get's poached as much as Saints have been over recent times? This isn't being critical of the board as I actually have complete confidence in them, but on the eve of Waynama (finally) going to spuds, it is amazing how many of our players we've lost to teams that (you would like to think) are our rivals for a top 4/6 finish.

    No, there simply is not. But, we have a foundation that makes our components look very good, so in a way its to be expected. As long as we command the right price, I don't have a problem.........except if its spurs buying...... <laugh>.

    Dortmund seem to lose key players a lot, especially this Summer (If rumours do come true).

    Sevilla lose a few fairly regularly. Villarreal and Atletico are other examples of clubs that historically lose their top players but carry on.

    We have the advantage of not having to sell to other countries (because they have less money). I imagine a lot of Spanish/Italian fans feel like this about the Premier League.

    ...and the Dutch the used to pilfer the Belgian league and academies. Now everyone does, so we can add them as well.
