Only know what I saw of him at Hull and, lets be honest here he was piss poor. Now that could be his age or the fact he was just starting out but, he was still poor. In Holland he has done a little better by scoring goals for the last two seasons again though as said so did that numpty Boro bought a few years back. For 6mil I'd give it a go anything over that would be a bit of a gamble and, if it is closer to 10mil then let it go as I don't see many if any other teams in for him. We have now put two bids in for this lad and, it could be his agent or parent club holding out not too bothered which but, we should be lining up and moving on to someone else.
Sounds like if given time he can become a real leader on the pitch, a future club and/or national captain. If we get him then I hope fans and coaching staff can stay patient and give him time. We need more talkers on the pitch.
@SAFCsource: Earnie Stewart on Sunderland's second bid for Altidore: We've rejected one offer, but we are still talking with them. http://t.co/9weAvUSRd3
AMSTERDAM â English Premier League outfit Sunderland have now seen one transfer offer for AZ Alkmaar forward Jozy Altidore knocked back before quickly following up with a second, MLSsoccer.com has learned. Sources close to Black Cats manager Paulo Di Canio recently told MLSsoccer.com that he was intent on landing the US strike star. For now, the former EPL forward has the playing field to himself, as AZ technical director Earnie Stewart revealed that he had received no competing bids at this time. "We've rejected one offer [from Sunderland]," former USMNT ace Earnie Stewart told MLSsoccer.com on Friday afternoon. "But we are still talking with them."

Altidore still has interest from another Premier League side and a few clubs in Germany, according to his agent. The 23-year-old, who has two years remaining on his AZ deal, continues to maintain that he would have no problem remaining with the Cheese Farmers for another season. If he does stay with the club, they will open the new campaign together with a July 27 duel away to rivals Ajax in the Johan Cruyff Schaal, the Dutch version of a Super Cup. http://m.mlssoccer.com/news/article...referral&utm_content=News&utm_campaign=Unpaid
