Provided the wages are reasonable, I would see more upside than downside with M'Villa. Just having his experience would be a boost to the young lads, and he would be closer to the first team than Evans.

Wasn't Yorkie about 35 when Keane brought him from Australia and he played a part in winning the league that year?

34 when he signed here but what a signing he was. £200k bargain.

that’s just the buzz imo be a great player to have around the place I mean evens is meant to be helping the kids loads and he’s not even played in over a year. Lot more positives then negatives with this one for me.

As i said im not against it at all, n hope he plays his part on the pitch if he does sign

One of my fave ever sunderland players, just really need a cdm who can contribute quickly - hope if it is him he can get up to speed quickly

I get that but folk are also saying he would be amazing based on what he was like with us originally having not seen him play in yrs

I can only go on what ive seen recently

You'd think the club would have done due diligence and if they see what you see then won't be going anywhere near him

Cdm is probably the position where experience is vital

We dont need an experienced striker, we need a striker that will give us presence - whether thats a physical cf, mobile cf or one that doesnt stop running

the exact reason an experienced player is needed for CDM, imho such players develop 'eyes in the back of their heads' as they need to be aware of everything around them, it's like a sixth sense to be able to see possible passes and hold good positions, rarely diving into tackles.

dan neil is probably our closest current player until/if evans comes back but he needs to 'grow a bit' and learn to use his strength when needed and to do so without fouling, the experience comes with games, learning to read how the opposition are playing or changing and be able to change the lads at the back to nulify them.

Think I will keep my trap shut, as I would dampen the mood. Hope he proves to be what people hope if he comes in.

Yeah, same. My love in was with Jan not Yann. Far superior player. I wasn’t sold on him like everyone else when we were premier league. He’s 33 and hasn’t been playing a lot.

Not convinced he is what we need.
