Sources: Sunderland pursuing agreements with Everton and Leeds as Wigan set to miss out

Sunderland are working on a deal for Leeds striker Joe Gelhardt, and are still trying to re-sign Ellis Simms, sources have exclusively revealed to Football League World. https://footballleagueworld.co.uk/s...on-and-leeds-united-as-wigan-set-to-miss-out/

It had been reported that the striker’s former club Wigan Athletic, had been close to agreeing a deal for his services.

However, it is now understood that the Latics have been unable to complete a deal for Gelhardt, due to a looming embargo.

That is a massive & v well managed reconstruction in the time since KLD & Co came in
Nice to see virtually all of the above in and around the team , we haven’t signed many non players like we used to
 
They remind me of us at the back end of Short's reign. Big money on players that have no impact, merry go round of managers. Circling the plughole.
Yep, like a turd that won’t flush.

And as we know, when you’re a basket case that long - an immediate return to the premier league is unlikely after going down.
 
Wonder if we switch back to Gelhardt given he still hasn’t gone to Wigan
Geldharts not the answer for this team of ours in scoring.. All of the times I've watched him and its been a few now, he never looks like a natural goal scorer. He will never score the goals in number everyone wants him to. I'd settle for the lad from Belgium or the boy from Brighton over Geldhart. It also shows Geldharts ambition by going back to Wigan if true.
