    Same source that broke to me that AJ signed hours before it was announced just send me a message.

    Sunderland are to make a really big stellar signing this week. No names were given but apparently its big enough to have been part of what swayed AJ into signing.

    Now, I'm not saying this is 100% but from where it came from I'd say I'm already having sleepless nights with excitement.


    We will just have to wait and see I guess.

    WE might not be spending a lot of money Vince? I'm trawling the websites now to see if there are any free transfers still to be snapped up? Lol

    That said, who knows what Ellis is prepared to invest and he obviously trusts MoN totally and has decided to throw a little bit of caution to the wind. Maybe he sees this as a major season where we can break into the top 6 and get the ball well and truly rolling.

    Its got me bloody excited i can tell you. Good source too.

    Yeah sick of hearing this one mate as well, would he improve us or hold us back?
    How you are right Cest probably Strinic though a LB by all accounts, radical stuff from a Sunderland manager.

    A "Stellar signing" would mean a world class player to me - and I have to confess to being sceptical !

    That said I was hugely excited and impressed when we got Johnson so who knows ?!

    Still think we need at least one full back and another striker.

    Here's hoping !

    Not sure about Messi mesel like.

    Has anyone checked if he would get into the mag team or not. Surely this is the benchmark for every manager before he signs anyone. Lol

    hope more than anything its a central midfielder

    If we got a 10m centre mid with vision and some class about there game we would be absolutely fantastic! If not a CM then a RB would do me

    There was that journo the other week said he had inside info that Ellis had said he 'expected to spend close to £50 million'.

    If that's the case, we have near to £28million left, Strinic will likely cost £4-6million.

    Let's see, but after the AJ deal, anything can happen.

    If its true and its a name that swayed AJ, it wont be anything less than a huge signing surely.


    I'm gonna need sleeping tablets by Wednesday at this rate. Lol

    around 50m eh :D

    as you say around 28m left, pretty sure Strinic is going to sign and as you say thats 4-6


    say 22m left

    would love us to bring in

    Gudetti (loan)
    10m CM
    Dawson 9m
    RB for around 5m

    sell Richardson, Campbell, Bramble, Killa, Elmo and Vaughan to add a few more million to the kitty for the players above and create room on the wage list

    loan out Wickham

    would give us a squad of

    GK - Mignolet, Westwood
    RB - New RB, Bardsley
    LB - Strinic
    CB - Dawson, O'Shea, Brown, Cuellar, Laing
    CM - New CM, Cattermole, Colback, Gardner, Meyler
    W - Larsson, McClean, Johnson
    AM - Sessegnon
    CF - Fletcher, Saha, Guidetti, Ji

    maybe loan another winger if u cud

    just read about the rumour is gathering on twitter that we are after Anderson!!!

    Would absolutely love him in our midfield, been unlucky with injuries at united, Sir Alex has limited him abit by not allowing him to get forward as much as he can


    would be absolutely brilliant in our CM

    I hope he is the player that is coming in
