Rich was aware he wasn't going to be signed when Nick was manager. Please stop making it appear he was let go because we had no manager. It was already a done deal. As much as I liked Rich, he won't be good enough for us next season, and for him professionally, he can go get a good deal and build on his already great rep back in Oz. Plus, seriously, you'd want the club to agree new contracts with players who were already going to be let go, BEFORE we sign a new manager?? Really??
Not at all. I was simply saying that to make any decision about players without a manager in place was crazy. Garcia said himself that any chance of a new contract with Hull City had gone once Hull City had sacked Nick Barmby. Andy Dawson is another who needs to know whats what and quickly. I am actually torn over Garcia but yes maybe the time is right to head back to Oz and finish off his career back home. ++++++++++++++ Rumour out of Crystal Palace is that Sheffield Wednesday want Anthony Gardner. Will that mean CP keep an interest in Paul McShane ? Fingers crossed Macca has a good Euros(assuming he gets a game that is).
Looks like the new boss has no plans for Michael Turner or Fraizer Campbell: http://www.thisishullandeastriding.co.uk/story-16321861-detail/story.html?
Thats not exactly what Bruce said. I would suggest that Bruce would not be willing to waste money on Turner now when he can get him for nothing next summer. FFS, Turner wont be that old come next summer either. There has been suggestions in the media that MON might let MT go but i would doubt it for now at least. TWT. As for Campbell, phewwwwwww. We can do better.
Decent player, but if we played him we would have to bench McKenna for alot of the games as they are too similar
I was going to reply with a similar comment but he obviously holds a grudge for him choosing Sunderland over us before
Don't say that to Stoke fans, not one of them considers him anywhere near PL class. Tickler who can we really get thats better than Campbell in the last six months he won an England cap, who do you expect us to sign really?

Now that we have Steve Bruce confirmed, NP will have to look elsewhere. It would not surprise me that the un-named club that has bid for Derbys Jason Shackell is Lesta, especially when Derby say the bid was low. He would be good experienced cover for McKenna imo and he does scores goals from midfield. 9 for Ipswich in the first half of last season before his move to WBA in Jan. 9 league goals for Ipswich Town in 2011 of last season. No wonder Roy @ WBA took him. Another who has improved since we let him go. Competition foir places and Mckenna does need that to stay at the top of his game. But long term Oliver Norwood would also be a good signing especially as he is a free agent now. imo. Hull City can find better out there without a doubt. I doubt that MON will let FC go anyway for now. MON is not exactly well stocked with strikers himself. Bendtner and Gyan have gone/will be going for starters. Only an England international when desperate. Campbell wont get a look in under normal circumstances for sure. Only the way he left and messed Hull City about. If FC had been open and honest about wanting to join a bigger club then fine. So yes for that reason alone i never want to see FC in a City shirt again. We can do better. For starters, IF Man Utd secure the deal with Nick Powell from Crewe then SB imo should try and get him in on loan for the season. He is quality and his alround game is much better, imo. No chance. Koren wont go to Reading and a season long battle against the drop. A new contract and SB as manager should convince RK that Hull City is his long term future. Build the team around him. End of. +++++++++++++++++++ www.sunderlandecho.com/sport Craig Gordon rejects any idea of dropping down to the championship. With a move to either Wigan or WBA or a return to the SPL being his top picks. Phewwwwwww. Thanks Craig and good luck. ++++++++++++++++++++ SS transfer talk has Sunderland willing to let Kilgallon leave for a £1m fee. imo, that amount of money can be better spent as ive already posted.
To save you disappointment in the future, I think it's probably best to break this to you now................all players want to join a bigger club.
Seems Craig Gordon isn't interested in dropping down to the Championship. http://www.shieldsgazette.com/sport/craig-gordon-won-t-be-joining-ex-sunderland-boss-bruce-1-4633379 Just hope we can get Vito.
