So 2 of their best players in Mignolet and Sess gone/going. Catts, Bardsley not wanted. Titus and Kilgallon off on frees.

 

Diakite, Roberge, Cabral in with more to come.

 

PDC quick to set the transfer window alight.

 

The sources for Cattermole and Sessegnon going are the Mirror and Sky Tyne and Wear.

 

Doubt either will go unless it's a good offer, both recently signed new deals. Plus even if Cattermole was to go I doubt we'd notice much difference as he's rarely on the pitch.

 

As for the other three, they're no great loss.

 

You will need a good pre-season and some time to bed in those players if the player turnover is high. I would keep those key players like Mignolet or Sess in case the new signings can't adapt. Kinda risky hoping the new guys will settle fast.

 

Surprised with Sess being linked away though. Does PDC not rate him?

We didn't really have a choice with Mignolet. He would've stayed but refused a new contract meaning his value would've halved by next summer with one year left. £10m is an excellent fee for a keeper and we're looking to cut costs these days.

 

The Sessegnon link came out of nowhere. Some Chinese side offering silly money being mentioned. Di Canio's comments regarding Sess so far have been that he's impressed. Don't think we're actively looking to sell him, just a combination of Sess's agent (every summer), and the fact that under the new regime every player has their price.

 

With regards to our player turnover, I'd be lying if I said I wasn't a bit worried about players gelling etc.

 

However when the alternative is Bardsley, Bramble and Gardner on 30k plus a week I'm willing to take the risk.

I wish when NUFC fans get sickened by that those idiots would realise it's not out of bitterness or jealousy. It's purely that it's some of the most disgusting attempts at humour ever known to man. To the point that it's actually offensive.

So it looks like their three best players from last season are leaving and the club captain may well follow. The American owner sacks the club legend who is chairman and installs himself, before appointing a nutcase and self confessed fascist as manager.

We appoint a DOF who people have heard of (unfortunately), Derek Llambias resigns and we're supposed to be the club in crisis.

I think we just enjoy having a crisis more than they do.

Don't agree at all. I'd gladly swap our owner,DOF and manager with theirs at the moment. Even on the scouting front they seem to be improving as we look like we might be in danger of regressing.(http://www.journallive.co.uk/safc/safc-news/2013/06/26/what-is-paolo-di-canio-thinking-at-sunderland-61634-33526956/)
