    from today's Sunderland Echo...

    On top of that, he is also 32 this summer, and new boss Paolo Di Canio’s drive is for fitter, faster and younger players

    Looking forward to the future, Di Canio plans to put the accent on youth and athleticism in his summer signings and will sign pacey, powerful centre-halves to compete against, and to support, 32-year-old O’Shea and 31-year-old Cuellar.

    The Italian will also look to bring attacking, overlapping full-backs who can also defend, and one of his first moves of the summer will be to try securing the signing of Danny Rose.

    “We have a lot of good players at the club but we need to bring in players who are technically very good and have genuine quality.”


    ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    About bloody time a manager realized all of these things and I cannot wait for the start of the season to see who gets shipped out but most importantly brought in

    If we do have a team/squad full of pace, power and a 2 or 3 more technically gifted players then it is going to be an exciting season

    My biggest wish for years has been to see us keep possession. Sick if seeing lower league teams do it better than us. Basics really. Everton should be our aim right now. Good mix of play.

    CBs with pace and passing ability, quick midfielders with skill, technique and composure on the ball. Dare we dream?

    If I was AVB I'd be keeping that Danny Rose kid, no way would I sell him. He's better than Benoit Ekotto all day long.

    Good news, I hope we play with overlapping full backs, 3 in the middle and Sess and Johnson with free roles either side of Fletch.

    Seems he's seen some glaring open wounds in our squad that every gaffer since Reidy has missed.

    I like him.

    Like we did with Connor Wickham, which ended badly for the club when we paid double what he was actually worth! <whistle>
