    Reading's chairman has basically issued a come and get him call to Neil Lennon today, a price in the region of £4m has been quoted. Any Sunderland fans hoping we hijack this and try and get him up here?

    For me it would depend on Bruce's overall budget and id rather see us get Bothroyd and Dj Campbell for a total of £1m then go after the big fish to start upfront with Gyan.

    No thanks

    need proven goalscorers IMO

    seems as though there is a good chance we will go for one of the Spurs strikers all been strongly linked (Pav/Defoe/Crouch)

    and Kanoute who is available on a free has been linked

    if can get those two then I wouldn't be suprised if Brucie brings in an unknown talent from the continent into the club, that Anthony Ujah said were apparently after him

    I hope not, if we do see him we should offer to take him the rest of the way upto Celtic, we should get our major strike partner for gyan first not the likes of Bothroyd, DJ & Long, our transfer rumours are appalling so far this summer haha

    Long has scored goals in the Champ. So did Chopra. I don't think Long is good enough for the PL, hence Celtic. Even Murphy ruffles the net up there.
