Sunderland is a sanctuary for prem players whose career has hit a brickwall, not up and coming talents... I honestly can't think of a more depressing place than Wearside & I'm sure Westwood will choose any other option on the table, than being a back-up keeper at Sunderland.

Also, Westwood has spent most of his career at Carlisle and Coventry, so I'm sure he'd be happy to move to a decent city like Leeds instead of Sunderland... no disrespect. If Grayson's statement on the club website is to believed, this deal could geniunely be happening. The new keeper will be...

Norwich offered 3.5m initially, but Bates probably intimated that he wanted 5m at least, before taking the mickey out of them again by upping the price to 8m. Guessing that's what happened.

Snodgrass link http://www.edp24.co.uk/sport/norwich-city-fc/rumour_mill_price_is_still_rising_for_leeds_snodgrass_1_927154 The Bates I know, would've taken 4million or less in a heartbeat, so that's why I'm not 100% sure.... yet, that he's going to asset-strip our squad.

Also Westwood wants to be Ireland's new no1 keeper and push Shay Given off his comfortable fkn perch... he can't do this if he's sitting on the bench at Sunderland.

No chance would Westwood ever get ahead of Gordon at Sunderland... promising keeper that he is. That's the only reason we have a genuine chance of signing him + Sunderland is a dive & makes Leeds look like the cultural capital of the world in comparison... if you've ever had an awayday there...

He got offered £5million by Norwich for Snodgrass, but refused it, so he can't be thinking solely about money. It the uncertainty of the situation which is peeing people off, selling our only keeper without a signed up replacement. I honestly don't think Kasper was the great keeper people...

The idea of Howson converting to a hench DM is laughable to me because while he does chase and close down players well, he's not a tough tackler and I can't see him being aggressive enough because it's just not his game. However, wouldn't be surprised if all that has been said is in fact...

Where the f*ck are Nickname and ForestLen when you need them? :D

Calm down lads, far too much negativity in recent weeks. All this side really needs is two CMs who can actually track back and tackle properly + a half decent LB (maybe Lihaj on loan again?) and we will at the very least mount a serious top2 challenge. We have a wealth of attacking talent...

Truly tragic... I just hope the new forum's don't develop a graveyard atmosphere. BBC606 was great for the spontaneous, casual poster like myself. I'm just not that sure others like me will be bothered to put in the 1minute of effort needed to create a new account here.

Well done Posh, although I hope your wums don't all decide to come and live on our board again as they did back in League1. <doh> Oh well, I'm sure a good trouncing at London Rd next season will send them packing! :emoticon-0116-evilg
