WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Mignolet - 1.2 Elmohamady - loan Onouha - loan Mensah - loan Bardsley - £1.5m Henderson - Free Colback - Free Riveros - Free Malbranque £4m Sessegnon - £6m Looks like your team cost more to me. Sunderland manager Steve Bruce has signed midfielder Cristian Riveros from Cruz Azul on a three-year deal for an undisclosed fee. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/s/sunderland/8675915.stm Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The loan players would also cost money if they were yours. Like has been pointed out before, how much are you going to have to spend in the summer just to stand still?

Neil Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 I find it a bit pedantic people comparing the fees for players. Anyone with an ounce of common sense knows that Newcastle have succeeded this year and Sunderland have failed. If both sets of fans didn't desperately want to finish above each other at this point then there'd be something wrong. The difference of course is, to Newcastle it would be cherry on the top of a very tasty first-season-back cake, while for Sunderland it would round off a thoroughly disappointing season if they were to finish below their rivals who are newly promoted.

Guest Wearside Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 No idea but we need a minimum of 7 players,obviously we might get a couple on free/bosman's but it's going to have to be another big outlay by Short,will be an interesting summer that's for certain.

Is Short prepared to finance Bruce to the tune of 7 players (5 if you get a couple on frees)? I'm not so sure he will, and you'll probably end up with a couple of ok players and a handful of loans. Problem with that is you either end up with a Welbeck or an Ireland and you can never tell which until he's already there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cajun Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 You can have Smith and Lovenkrands for free. Think of it as a guilt present after you face two Ameobis next season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smithkrands vs Geminiameobi - the shittest Robot Wars tag team match in history. Shola and Sammy start as one but split into 2 to very slowly start wreaking moderate havoc.

Will he sanction another significant outlay? Does he trust Bruce to spend it well? Do your fans trust Bruce to spend it well? No suggestion as yet that he won't sanction another big outlay,will be interesting to see what happens after West Ham game and whether Short will sack him or not. I'd say the fans are turning against Bruce,couple of people were squaring up to Bruce next to the dug-out on Saturday and Bruce knows he is under pressure,problem is that allegedly season ticket sales are well down and lots are trying to get out of the direct debits they signed up for and that could be the deciding factor.

Cajun Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Will cost you a lot to start the season with a similar squad to the one you are finishing with. Good luck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chicken Dancer Posted May 16, 2011 Share Posted May 16, 2011 Doubt Short will give them much tbh. Reason why Quinn's shitting his pants about the attendances, Short must be looking thinking 'I've done my bit and I'm losing a lot of money'. Can't see us getting much money either mind.
