Retained List

I see John Ruddy is away for free. 35 is no Age for a keeper. We need a balanced mix of experience aswell as youth. Wouldn't be against us taking him. Alfie Mawson would be a shout aswell.

 

We will put some money out there no doubt. Contract offers are very good.

Like the club have stepped up immediately.

 

Evening mate. I take it you mean Roberts etc? I'm of the opinion there will be some money to spend. AN said it the jobs half done. I get the feel KLD isn't here to mess about

 

even back in the Madrox days they said the money will be there when we get promoted but until then we will stay within our means.

No reason to doubt that.

I think we will stay within our means, but I think we will be ambitious with it.

Think some of the latest sound bites out of Speakman are more about setting expectations of spending low to both fans and the market. No point shouting loudly to agents and clubs that Sunderland have money to spend. They’ll milk us.

 

Always the case. I just hope we go for younger teenage talent instead of 20/21 year old squad fillers like we have with the 23s in recent seasons…
