NACHO SCOCCO’S move to Newell’s Old Boys is expected to be confirmed by the Argentine club tomorrow, with the striker currently en route to South America. Sunderland have been locked in talks with Newell’s for the last month for the sale of Scocco, just six months after the 29-year-old arrived at the Stadium of Light. But despite late interest from River Plate, Newell’s have won the battle for Scocco’s signature after agreeing a £2.3million deal with the Black Cats. Scocco is due to fly to Argentina tonight to finalise the deal, with Newell’s envisaging unveiling the former AEK Athens man tomorrow. It will bring an end to ill-feted move to Sunderland for Scocco after Gus Poyet had originally envisaged big things from him. Scocco failed to start a single Premier League game or find the net after arriving in a £3.2m move from Brazilian outfit Internacional in January and has been hankering for a move to Newell’s throughout the summer. Poyet had hoped that a full pre-season would produce an upturn in fortunes for Scocco, yet Sunderland have instead cut their losses. “My first idea, and I knew it would be difficult, was to use Nacho last season to help us get out of the problems we were in,” Poyet said earlier this week. “It was always going to be difficult for a player who had played in Argentina and Brazil over the last year to come to the English Premier League “We were in a fight and he’s not that type of player – he needed us to be controlling games in order for him to do his bit. “The type of player he is, we were not playing to his strengths – he needs to be in a team that is on top in games “So my idea then was to take the close season to improve the team and to improve Nacho in terms of him being used to the environment over here and the football itself. “But there are options now and everything is being analysed, we will see what happens over the next few days.”
I think this is a shame, as I still maintain he has bags of talent, but we've done well to get shot. I say he lacked the bottle for a fight, maybe we should have seen that from his Intenacional flop, but fair play to him, he'll have dropped thousands a week to be 'happy'.
Aye, i bet his agent is laughing his c**k off! Two fees in 7 months, canny work if you can get it, stung once again Thanks de-fanti you belltop!!
GUSTAVO POYET confirmed that Ignacio Scocco’s miserable seven-months at Sunderland was over before suggesting at least one new player could arrive before the squad flies out to Portugal on Friday. The Black Cats, who scored three goals in seven second half minutes to beat Hartlepool United at Victoria Park, are pressing ahead with attempts to strengthen despite seeing the £14m move for Liverpool’s Fabio Borini stall. Talks to agree a deal with Fiorentina for left-back Marcos Alonso have also been at an advanced stage for the last fortnight, while Arsenal’s young forwards Serge Gnabry and Joel Campbell were again linked with Sunderland on Wednesday. But it was an outgoing deal that was done before them all, when Newells Old Boys concluded a move worth £2.1m for Scocco. The Argentine striker has been angling to return to South America after failing to make a single Premier League start following his £3.1m switch from Brazil club Internacional in January. “We were close on Nacho’s deal before this game (at Hartlepool) and I’ve just been told it’s all been signed,” said Poyet. “He wanted to go back to Argentina, it was a good deal for us. It has been the finer details we have been waiting on. He hasn’t played because it looked like he would move on. It is all signed now with Newells Old Boys.” Poyet will look to use the money to reinvest in his squad, which he feels is still short of what is required for the up-coming Premier League season which starts on August 16 at West Brom. Borini’s decision to fly to the United States rather than jump in to a move from Liverpool has frustrated him, as has the slowness of the Alonso transfer which he felt would have been concluded earlier. Poyet did admit he can’t afford to wait around too long for his targets. “We need to be honest about Fabio because the more time that goes past it looks like less chance of it happening, but then some people say that the more players Liverpool sign the better chances we have of signing him,” said Poyet. “Who is right or wrong? We don’t have a left-back and we need one now. We need the pace we were looking for from last year now. We need the midfielders too. There are things we need to do – right now. “I have been saying something is very close, but when some things don’t happen it isn’t happening for a reason. We will move on from a few things and if we find the right person then it’s meant to be.” Poyet did deny Sunderland will be pushing ahead with a £1.5m deal for Marseille’s Morgan Amalfitano, although the Frenchman could figure in his thinking closer to the end of the transfer window. “Morgan is not a real interest for me at this stage,” said the Sunderland boss. “I followed him when he was at Lorient before Marseille. People ask me about a hundred players and I don’t even know most of them. It’s taking longer than I would like, that’s for sure. “People say no news is good news and at the minute we are still waiting, which is not nice. I am going to Portugal on Friday and I would have liked players in by then. I think there will be someone in by Friday and maybe there could be three ... but I use the word hope! It’s difficult to know.” Sunderland only had one new player on show at Victoria Park last night as the club’s young guns took centre stage in the final hour to finally breakdown a resilient Hartlepool. Pools, of League Two, successfully kept out a Black Cats team including Steven Fletcher, Adam Johnson, Lee Cattermole and Seb Larsson but then Poyet’s decision to change an entire eleven turned proceedings in their favour. After midfielder Carl Lawson had curled in a delightful opener with 20 minutes remaining, lively right-back Andrew Cartwright then hit a brace to leave Hartlepool defeated and well aware of a fresh injection of pace introduced by Sunderland in front of 5,617 supporters. Hartlepool actually had more new signings on show than Sunderland. Former Boro boys Matthew Bates and Stuart Parnaby, old team-mates of Cattermole and Johnson, lined up for the home side, with trialist Tommy Miller given a chance to earn a deal from Colin Cooper. Miller, a former Sunderland midfielder, sat at the hub of the midfield along with Parnaby and asked to effectively track any deep running from El-Hadji Ba and Larsson behind the lone striker Fletcher for the first hour. Cooper said: “I want my players to soak in what happened here and think ‘that is the standards I have to aspire to’, whether it is Premier League players we are up against or a League Two team. I want my players to make quick decisions. As long as they are disappointed after getting 90 minutes under their belt, which is great, then we have learned something. “Tommy wanted to come in and train, I was prepared for that and I will base a decision on what we see. As a bloke I think the world of him, his fitness levels have never dropped, and if I feel he is the right man to bring in permanently I will do that. I want to bring in one or two permanent signings and then a couple more loans later down the line.”
He came on at norwich and i thought i was somebody out of the crowd having a laugh in a safc kit ,he looked frightened out his life ,a huge error and a lesson learnt we hope.
Well so you took a million hit... not too bad. Obviously a stinker but could be a lot worse, at least some money recovered.
We signed him for 3.65m euros. He's gone for 3.6m euros. No huge failure in my eyes. Just one that didn't work out.
Thank the f**ing lord & hopefully Graham is next. has anyone seen Danny Graham because I thought he would be training with us?
Alex Ferguson signed some right nuggets in his time and lost millions ...... sometimes it's just the right man at the wrong time. Poyet accepted that Sunderland were the wrong team, in the wrong position, to bring such a cultured player.
I don't know why the lad is being given such ****. He came in on the cheap, was most likely paid very little in terms of wages, he didn't settle or perform particularly well partially as a result of barely getting a run out and he left on the cheap. No harm done whatsoever. Good luck to him.
It's the easiest comment to make I suppose ........ Torres was unstoppable in one team and laughable in the next. Sometimes there's a lot more to it than a player's individual performance.
I don't understand why he even came, he was never gonna play much last season, Poyet was clear about that. Could understand why he'd want to leave if we got relegated, but surely this season would have been a perfect chance to prove himself in the best league in the world..
