    Or moyes forces him to stay as he has 4 years left to run. He would have to put it in on the pitch or leave himself with no club wanting him. It's strange the "he doesn't want it" remark... Could be anything but I am clueless as to what he really meant. Got no time for players who don't want to stay at the club. We need players who want to play for us. Not sure exactly why Short is to blame for this. I blame the players and agents

    He's been blamed for a lack of squad numbers. Kaboul leaving is one of the (many) reasons for that.

    You didn't mention lack of squad numbers. Not sure how you expected anybody to get that from your Kaboul/owner comment. So nobody has blamed the owner for Kaboul wanting to leave? Don't get your point then sorry fella. ignore me, carry on. I thought somebody had been making daft comments and I'd missed it. :)

    The first thing is to get PVA into midfield, get Mclair in his place, then get out and get a striker in.

    That's what I was alluding to Marcus. There us absolutely no point in keeping a player at a club if he no longer wants to be there. Much as I hate to say it, cash in on him and get a replacement in who actually has some professionalism and loyalty.

    A hard ask I know! :emoticon-0114-dull:

    Only way you get that is by signing one of us! Get me, commo, bri, 83, yourself, Gordon, Grandpops, blunham (etc, etc) (sorry if I didn't mention you) you I'll get loyalty! No such thing in the professional game nowadays.

    Thing that worries me most is that what if Mvila is looking at this saying "**** it, why would I want to go there!" If this is what's going on. Hoping Bri's thread about Khazri is a wind up... Although that is one position at least we have cover! Unlike centre back

    Hmmmm, I hadn't considered what effect all this would have on potential targets such as M'vila etc. Players are not going to be climbing over themselves to sign for Sunderland when they read what is unfolding in the various media outlets. Tough times ahead I fear!

    **** him. West Brom made Berehinho stay last season, and got a few goals out of him.

    Tell him he's going nowhere, like it or lump it, and he can sit on the bench on his original contract, or get off his arse and earn a new bloody contract.

    New season, new manager, prove yourself again, or sit on the bench and watch others do your job for you!

    You can't let him go without others in first, you have the barest 'squad' you could have really. There are chants from some clubs "if [insert player] scores we're on the pitch" with you guys its "If any one is injured we're on the pitch" as you'll need to fill in.

    Agree totally mate. Moyes keeps saying he's got 4 years left so why do we need to offer him a new one
