Guest kingdawson Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 I really think you may put a bid in for Keane should you get promoted. Houghton is close with him so i think he'll make him a priority. Hopefully we make you overpay. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Segun Oluwaniyi Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 We'd all take Bent and Cana I think. Hasn't Cana been rubbish for Sunderland? I liked him at Marseille, but it seems he's not been impressive in England. On a side note, I'm glad Mike Ashley did not spend 10 million on M'Bia. His passing has been so bad that we're now using him as a centre back, primarily. Ebondo would have been nice though. Beckford and Snodgrass would be stupid signings. Hell of a way to prepare for the Premiership, signing players from League 1. If this campaign has shown us anything it's that the gap between the Premiership and the Championship is massive, never mind League 1. The money could fetch better elsewhere. There are always players in lower leagues who can cut it in the big leagues, and better we take a chance at team and see if they can or not, than someone else doing it and them becoming world beaters. That said, I'd not pay silly money for them. It's a decent risk to take, but as you say it's all about the price. I would not want to pay more than 2 or 3 million combined for these unproven players. Thing is we need quite a few players and can't really afford too many risks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronaldo Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 Cana is an average midfielder, but i'd take him to 'replace' Smith and Butt. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Village Idiot Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 Ok here goes: From teams that could be relegated this season Hull City - Bullard Burnley - Eagles, Fletcher Wigan - Moses, N'Zogbia Wolves - Doyle Bolton - Taylor, Klasnic, Knight Portsmouth-Prince Boateng Sunderland - Nee f***er Bullard? Sicknote man Nzogbia will not come back. Doyle and the Bolton ones could be a canny shout though I do rate Klasnic, but isn't he 30? Also he is on loan from Nantes. Although they would happily loan or sell him since they are having a shit season in Ligue 2. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 James Beattie as a short term answer? Think he'd get us 12-15 goals no problem at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JJ7 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I would look abroad tbh. Some of the name on here the last page or so wouldn't do much to keep us up. If were skint, better value abroad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedro111 Posted February 26, 2010 Share Posted February 26, 2010 I dont know how realistic it is but I kinda like that kid Sanchez from Udinese should they go down. Di Natale would do just nicely too! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skeletor Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Christopher Eagles for sure. Maybe Darren Ambrose if he'd come back. Long shot but if West Brom fail to gain promotion we should go all out for Dorrans. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yorkie Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 I'd rather, if we go up, we kept imports from the Championship to an absolute minimum. How many times have teams gone up - signed those sorts of players - and struggled hugely? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor Zaius Posted February 27, 2010 Share Posted February 27, 2010 Christopher Eagles for sure. Maybe Darren Ambrose if he'd come back. Long shot but if West Brom fail to gain promotion we should go all out for Dorrans. He seems to be on the bench alot for Burnley. Hardly set the world alight this season either. I agree with Yorkie too, the difference between a good championship player and a decent prem player is massive, some cope alright, some dont. There are countless players that based on their performances in the championship look like they'd be able to cope in the premier league, but just never do.

Fenham Mag Posted February 28, 2010 Share Posted February 28, 2010 If Sunderland get relegated and we get promoted , would love us to go for Darren Bent. I think he would be quiet open to a move too, with him living in Newcastle anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember that he couldn't hack it at Rangers. I think he did hack at it Rangers for a while, but eventually fell off the radar there when his form went bad. Seems to be running things at Blackpool though. Olly must have done a good job in making him believe in himself again. Maybe a big ask to go up a division though.
