To be honest he wins me over by not saying he wants to leave.

No, but Morgan is going to go sooner rather than later & I don't see us offering Cork a new contract for whatever reason.

Graeme Bailey @GraemeBailey Sunderland have agreed deal in excess of £10million with Manchester City for Jack Rodwell. Playing having medical now.

I preferred the days when Guan said we were leaking lesser targets to the press in-order to keep our negotiations with our main targets secret. We're seemingly signing the lesser targets now.

I don't see him coming in, but if he and Tadier arrive I think Cork AND Morgan will be off. Not sure we'll be spending on £15m on him anyway.

Clasie's agent says he is 'ready for departure': http://totaldutchfootball.com/2014/08/03/clasie-is-ready-for-feyenoord-departure/

When does Guan's 2 week deadline end?

I just find it hard to believe that with our recruitment department, coupled with us "spending every last penny" of our sales that he is the best we can come up with? (And I HATE people judging players before they've played!)

Get him a job in the recruitment department!

I hope this is the case.

I'm aware of that MLG, but like I say having no fee to pay still helps. Who do you think might look at him? Leeds?

Absolutely. Sure they'll be no shortage of takers for Billy either with no fee to pay.

Credit to Saint-Armstrong for re-tweeting this. Unsure if it's true but.... Simon Austin @sport_simon Southampton have said Billy Sharp is available on a free...

Agree - I thought it was a fair article TBH.

Crystal Palace sign Brede Hangeland on 1 year contract.

Don't tempt fate! - I posted similar about Chambers when Arsenal signed Debuchy!

More of a wing back if you want to be an ar5e.

Might be our 1st link to a right back this summer (Apart from Isla of course)

Interesting. TBH, if I was a betting man I'd put my money on him leaving. I can't imagine Levy would offer us silly money though. I'd be interested to see what happens if Arsenal come in with a bigger bid than Spurs.

Connor Wickham told sign or be sold: http://www1.skysports.com/transfer/news/11661/9402938/transfer-news-connor-wickham-urged-to-sign-new-sunderland-contract

Very risky with the Morgan scenario being as it is. (Unless Clasie comes as well).

Alex Goring Crook @alex_crook Koeman also hinted Osvaldo is close to completing his loan move to Inter with Taider coming the other way #saintsfc

THIS.
