Duncan watmore? Watched Fridays match with a Mackem mate, lots of convo about this. Sunderland fans perspective - their owner, Ellis Short, is actively trying to sell while not actually doing anything to sell. So he has pocketed the £30mill from Pickford sale and is waiting to see what else they can get in transfer fees for their Prem players. The fans are obviously (and rightly?) furious about this.

Sparkle Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Weather the club are interested or not but Fernando Forestieri is a distinct transfer possibility as there is a big fallout over where or where not he is to play at sheff Wednesday and it seems they may well want to get rid and I suspect for a lot less than we offered last time he wants to play up front but doesn't like playing wide if he has to do any tracking back, now he does have the talent but would he fit in? But as a gamble he should be thought of as a known quantity unlike some we are being expensively quoted for. in a 4 2 3 1 formation he may well fit in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EnigmaRam Posted August 7, 2017 Share Posted August 7, 2017 Vydra has shown in every game he's played in a 4231 behind the central striker he's effective. Don't think forestieri would be any better there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't think forestieri would be any better there Me neither, Could be good for the LW position though. But then again, his attitude is awful.

Derbylad92 Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 Just seen on a website saying we should go for a lad from Scunthorpe called Josh Morris anybody know anything about him? I have never heard of him but apparently last season he scored 19 and assisted 17 last season I would be happy to gamble on him if this is true!

These should be exactly the type of players we are looking at. Clough made up our best team for the last ten years by taking such players from lower leagues, whilst spending vast amount on so called premier league/ championship stars clearly has not worked.

Rab a dab doo Posted August 8, 2017 Share Posted August 8, 2017 At moment all of our presumed first choices appear to be too costly or not available. So maybe its time to look at the lower league gems. The risk against reward ratio is higher. We could also find ourselves with good players at reasonable prices whose value would only increase.

Nigel didn't finish any higher than 10th - In the last 4 seasons we've gone 3rd, 8th, 6th, 9th - Not sure how you make Clough's team our best in 10 years Picking up talent from the lower leagues is fine if you want to aim for 10th - If you want to aim for 1st you need genuine, proven quality at this level or above - Which we currently have - We don't need someone to come in and be our 4th choice winger - We need someone who will come in and be the best winger in the whole league, never mind just our squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFox1993 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I presume he has already been mentioned but id try and get Patrick Roberts on loan , i know the SPL is seen as not as good as English football by some but the lad looks to have real talent.I would be very surprised to see him anywhere near the Man City bench so might be worth a punt.

Animal is a Ram Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 A hint towards an out - Nick Blackman out on loan: Rowett made eight changes to his side for Tuesday night's Carabao Cup first round tie at Grimsby Town but there was still no place in the 18 for Blackman. Explaining the player's absence after the match was abandoned due to a waterlogged pitch, Rowett said: "He's fit. There's some strange ruling, where if Nick had played for an hour tonight (Tuesday), then it means he can only play for one more club during the season. "I just felt there was no real benefit to him to do that." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redknapp is a fan of Blackman, says they are short on numbers so maybe a loan to Birmingham either part of a deal for Adams or just on its own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
