http://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/fo...ransfer-news-and-rumours-for-summer-2014.html Sunderland transfer news and rumours for summer 2014 All the transfer news, rumours and gossip for Sunderland in the Premier League's summer window, with money and targets for Gus Poyet and players who could leave Budget: £10m, plus money generated from sales. Strategy: Avoid the mistakes of last summer, where quantity rather than quality left them with a large squad, but little competition for places and too many unsuitable for English football Who calls the shots? Sunderland Director of Football Lee Congerton is in charge of recruitment but manager Gus Poyet has made it clear he will not agree to signing of players he does not want. Best case: Fabio Borini will turn his loan move from Liverpool into a permanent switch and improvements will be made in the centre of midfield and on the left wing. A goalscorer is imperative. Worst case: Too many players are signed without the proper research and Gus Poyet falls out with Lee Congerton and quits in protest at having players forced on him. Likely to leave: Jack Colback, Jozy Altidore, Phil Bardsley, Fabio Borini, Seb Larsson, Danny Graham and most of those signed last summer. On the wanted list: Fabio Borini, Marcos Alonso, Jordan Rhodes, Danny Ings, Charles N'Zogbia. ---------------------------- Budget £10m? Where does that come from? I think we'll want to keep 3-4 of the likely to leave list. Wanted: Jordan Rhodes, hhmmm, maybe. Danny Ings - where did this come from? Charles N'Zogbia - what the ****ing ****?. We've got the best part of 3 months of this...
Charles insomnia !, Hemel heskey will be top of our list by their reckoning !, we want Alonso, Borini, Milner, Or Danny rose so Alonso can move to midfield now and again, and a 20 goal a season striker, but only 3-4 players this time.
Load of ****e, Its probably what the club wants people to believe though. Leicester have been stupid, as soon as you come out and say you have millions clubs will have your pants down for even average players. We will sell Fletcher, Graham and possibly a couple of others to raise money. I expect us to re-coup 10m and maybe spend 30m total.
What nee Robbie Keane or Defoe? Was hoping this was finally gonna be the year they arrived on wearside.
