Plan 'a' who has been considering our offer for 4 weeks? Maybe Borini is doing us a favour and will sign just in time for the weekends game thus saving Uncle Ellis a bit on wages.
I live very near to Brighton and often go their home games. Buckley was outstanding for them when he 1st joined but last season he was injured alot and his form suffered, but I also reckon Gus will get the best out of him and get him back to his best form again. He has bags of pace and can easily beat defenders when on form.
Hopefully he can step up a level. On the video he seems to be able to use both feet well. I ****ing hate it when footballs can't use both feet.
Keith Downie ‏@SkySports_Keith 1m Sunderland have agreed a fee of £2.5m with Brighton for Will Buckley. We expect him to be in the North East for his medical later today.
We are always going to get players from lower divisions with little problems. It's always more difficult for us to get top players.we have proved we can get top players and there's time yet for us to get them ...?????????
Sky Sports sources understand that Sunderland have agreed a fee of £2.5million with Brighton for winger Will Buckley. Black Cats boss Gus Poyet knows the 24-year-old well from his time in charge of Brighton and it looks as though they could be reunited at the Stadium of Light.
Poyet has a great football brain and also knows the lad's character very well. McClean was an idiot who's 'fame' was too much for him to cope with.
