Godot Posted May 29, 2009 Share Posted May 29, 2009 Running before you can walk. I still can't believe they turned down £20m for Jones. Jones could be top quality for them in a few years. Scored 12 goals this season despite only returning in November and allegedly brought back too soon and hasn't been 100% fit this season. Started to find his true form near the tail end of the season according to a Mackem mate of mine. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing like Shola. Very good player when fit, just not worth anything like £20m. He's very good in the air, strong and has a reasonable eye for goal. He's a good focal point for an attack when he's interested. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their finances may be OK & a lot better than many others in the Premiership, but they're not at the same league as a team like Inter. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
LooneyToonArmy Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Mancini keen on Black Cats Former Inter boss 'flattered' by Sunderland talk Roberto Mancini has admitted he is flattered to be linked with Sunderland and would like to manage in the Premier League. Mancini has been out of work since a successful four-year spell with Inter Milan came to an end 12 months ago. He is now looking to return to management and concedes his preference would be to land a job in the top flight of English football. Speculation has already surfaced with regard to Mancini and the vacant position at the Stadium of Light, with Sunderland searching for a successor to Ricky Sbragia. And Mancini has responded to the reports by indicating that he would consider taking charge of the Black Cats. "I am very flattered to be linked with the vacant manager's job at Sunderland," said the Italian in a statement given to Sky Sports News. Honour "It would be an honour to manage such a prestigious and historic club in the Premier League. "I have enjoyed a year out following winning the Scudetta on three consecutive occasions. "Having completed a year of media commitments I'm now ready to return to full-time management." "Ideally I would like that to be in the Premier League. I want to test myself against the very best."

Godot Posted May 31, 2009 Share Posted May 31, 2009 Looks like he very well could become their manager... Roberto Mancini confirmed he has received an offer from Sunderland and is “honoured” by the opportunity. “I am very happy and at the same time honoured to have received an offer from Sunderland,” Mancio told Sky Italia. “It would be truly wonderful to lead such a prestigious and historic club in England. After a year of sitting on the sidelines, I feel ready to start again with immense enthusiasm.” The former Inter and Lazio Coach has been unemployed for a year since he was sacked by the Nerazzurri despite winning three consecutive Scudetto titles. He is still being paid by the San Siro club and will only be able to sign for Sunderland once that contract is terminated by mutual consent. Mancini has often said he wants to work overseas and was previously linked with the benches at Newcastle United, Chelsea and West Ham. Another option for the Sunderland job is Wigan boss Steve Bruce, but the club has requested £3m compensation to release him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
