Ambitious Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 been mentioned before, i'd really like him - but from noises I don't think we will be signing any CMs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcfcFan97 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Yeah I just thought I would put it on to see what everyone else thinks, personally I think we have a very strong central midfield so I doubt Clough would want to improve in that area!

Day Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Lazy linkerFORMER Sunderland skipper Dean Whitehead is rumoured to be a potential transfer target for Middlesbrough. The 31-year-old has been released by Stoke City, along with another former Black Cats, Rory Delap, and currently is on the hunt for a new club. Boro boss Tony Mowbray could be preparing to make Whitehead an offer according to the Northern Echo, with the prospect of reuniting him in midfield with former Sunderland youth academy prospect Grant Leadbitter. A couple of other Championship clubs though – Derby County and Burnley – are also believed to be interested in a player who was a key member of Sunderland’s side from 2004-09. Mowbray wants to strengthen the side generally so that they can sustain a push for the Premier League this season – they were in the top six until just after the New Year but faded badly. Whitehead has more than 450 appearances under his belt but remains extremely fit and largely injury-free and would be a major benefit to any Championship side.

DcfcFan97 Posted June 13, 2013 Author Share Posted June 13, 2013 Having said all this I wouldn't mind an older experienced head in the midfield that could bring on players such as Will Hughes and be a good character in the dressing room! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FeedTheFish Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Doesn't mess about very collected player, would do us a good job ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smyth_18 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Whitehead would easily 'pop' into our team. Does zit seem legitimate? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mostyn6 Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I wouldn't want to drop ANY of our players to accomodate Whitehead. No thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramchope Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Better than anyone in our centre mid RIGHT now, and I think he would be a very good signing for any championship team. We have an exciting young team but I think we could do with one or two lads that have been there and done it, Whitehead fits the bill for me.

DcFc Dyycheee Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Hasn't it already been ruled out in the DET? Wouldn't want him anyway, cost too much just to have him on the bench. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cisse Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 I'd love to have him. Enough experience to help young ones like Hendrick and Hughes. And can play too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
North_Stand_Ram Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 If he did join you really think it'd to sit on the bench? No chance. Good player, wages far to high Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DcFc Dyycheee Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 If he did join you really think it'd to sit on the bench? No chance. Good player, wages far to high I mean, I wouldn't play him ahead of our midfielders at this moment in time. So I wouldn't have him here to sit on the bench, if Hughes or Hendrick are sold, then I'll more than welcome him in the team, good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L_J_DCFC Posted June 13, 2013 Share Posted June 13, 2013 Dean Whitehead is so average its unreal. Your making out he is so amazing but we have 3 better centre midfielders than him. Hendrick and Hughes both Premier League prospects and Bryson is so important in the team. Why would we waste wages by signing someone average who we don't need. Would be disappointed if we signed him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
