Optimistic Nut Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I'm sure there's a lot of interest, but not many clubs would offer £9m up front for him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benwell Lad Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I'm sure there's a lot of interest, but not many clubs would offer £9m up front for him. Yup. Interest and serious interest are different things. He will have been very closely watched by all top clubs as the hype built up last season. If he ends up at Sunderland you can safely say none of them really fancied him. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedsBlackAndWhite Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I hereby resolve to refrain from reading any more posts on that Sunderland board. I swear, every f***ing time I start reading that board I have points shaved off my IQ and move closer to premature dementia. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowlingcrofty Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 If he's any good for them he'll be off in a year anyway. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenham Mag Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Personally i think Whickham will be awesome but £13 million is a massive gamble. He absolutely bullied Colocinni when we played Ipswich at home in the Championship season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 I think the real top clubs would sooner pay £16m to £20m or whatever once he's proven he can do it at this level than pay £9m when they have no idea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Personally i think Whickham will be awesome but £13 million is a massive gamble. He absolutely bullied Colocinni when we played Ipswich at home in the Championship season. Our players had the cigars out and the flip flops on that day. Don't remember him being 'absolutely bullied' either. Although Wickham took his goal well mind. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SUPERTOON Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Wickham and Gardner having medicals tomorrow. Very suprised other clubs are not in for Wickham unless Sunderland have paid way over price. As for Gardner, decent player, not much about him, decent engine and shot. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr. Snrub Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Wickham is still very raw and is a few years off being ready to lead the line in the Premier League. I'd rather we sign someone more experienced who will come in and immediately score goals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Nguyen Van Falk Posted June 28, 2011 Share Posted June 28, 2011 Wickham would of been nice for a club who has 2/3 proven goal scorers and doesn't have to rely on him to come good, which we would... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
