Sunderland are plotting a last-gasp raid for frozen-out Celtic winger Scott Sinclair according to a report by Football Insider.

That would be a right coup if we get him.

I know it's only Scotland but barring Celtic it's a fairly similar level to lower Championship/upper L1

In 164 appearances, he's scored 61 and assisted 34. That's a healthy return.

We would then have 4 strikers vying for 2 places which is nice.

Admittedly I haven't seen anything of him for a while but it'd be a yes from me what I do recall & with his stats.

I've seen him a couple of times recently and I rate him, I'd be happy with it if we were a league higher so more than good enough for league one imo.

De Bock is a 26 yr old Belgium left full back who is at Leeds.
He went on loan last season to Oostend playing 20 matches and scored 1 goal.
I saw him play for Club Brugge about four years ago. I don't recall him standing out and I don't recall him being terrible.

If this comes off then how does this effect Duncan Watmore as Sinclair plays on the wing and has pace which is what we were hoping for from Duncan.
Might give the club more time to ease Duncan back gently and try and avoid these recurring injuries which I know is practically impossible.

Yeh Duncan will not be ready for a few months I think
 
How far down the list did we go to find De Bock?

I know a couple Leeds fans. They've both said that he's absolutely shocking.

Clearly we asked every agent going to recommend a left back. Getting Leeds 3rd or 4th choice doesn't fill me with too much confidence.
 
I never heard of this Leeds left back..but strikes me we are going on last choice as time had ran out...just hope he is ok. I've never been a fan of Sinclair, but he should have no issues in this league. I'd be surprised if he were to agree to come to league 1....must be championship clubs interested
