When did he last get to the level he is capable of? 8 years ago when he was at Everton? Everything I have read so far, suggests he wouldn’t be brought in as a CM, he would be playing as a CH. Example below https://www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/sunderland-hand-jack-rodwell-chance-13758808.amp

1. They are the ones bankrolling the club. At no point did I suggest it was fact, merely speculating. It wouldn’t be the first time a manager has been promised funds, only for the plug to be pulled 2. Rodwell was on trial at Watford, they released him. Mowbray has already confirmed it would be a cheap deal. He said as much last night. If there is a cheap deal to be done, why is he still available?

How doesn’t it make sense?

I think that’s the issue, is there actually any brass to spend? Resorting to the likes of Rodwell smacks of desperation to me. I wonder venkys now back tracking on said promised funds based on the reasonable start we have had to the season? Would make sense if we are looking at cast offs nobody else wants and cheap loan deals for a Southampton midfielder.

Think this was the same guy who reported on the Armstrong deal. It is The S*n. Hopefully he gets offered mega bucks in the MLS.

Basically falls on every word Sharpe and Nixon tells him and then passes it off as his own.

The list is definitely strained if we’re even giving the likes of Rodwell the time of day.

It’s starting to look like we’ve been had. Genuinely hope to be proved wrong, but when you hear the likes of Rodwell talked about as a potential signing.

Think he had a couple of decent seasons at Everton, but we’re talking 7 or 8 years ago now. The lad has done nothing since. I’m surprised Tony has even given him the time of day talking to him if I’m honest

Don’t get the impression we are any closer to brining in any forwards then. Fully expecting 2 prem youth loan deals tomorrow, centre half and another midfielder? If we were on the A list a few weeks ago, we must be nearly on x,y and z by now, if we’re talking to the likes of Rodwell

https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/43905840 I think we should stay well clear

Roswell was on £43000 a week at Sunderland ? https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44631488

Scrapping the bottom of the bargain bin with them 3.

I can’t believe I’m reading people wouldn’t mind Anichebe? The blokes barely played any football for the last 3 or 4 years, his record is shocking. what happened to not signing players for the sake of it and only wanting to add quality that will improve the squad?

Derby Telegraph linking us, Leeds and Bolton with Cameron Jerome. No Thanks. https://www.derbytelegraph.co.uk/sport/football/transfer-news/leeds-united-two-championship-clubs-1918660

Not too many years ago? Are you sure? Benni 2006 and Santa Cruz 2007. The market has completely changed since then and so have we. I’m afraid we aren’t quite the attractive proposistion we were 11-12 years ago.

Why say Who? Who? Who? Then claim to know all 3. I’m absolutely baffled.

For someone who has just claimed to watch a lot of football and read about stats on transfer market, surely you would know who the 3 players mentioned are? 2 of them both played first team football on a regular basis in the championship.

I’d say no to all 3. Don’t think any of them fit the bill with the type of player we are trying to bring in.

Having listened to the bits about transfers, sounds like we have moved on from deals. I wonder if the Brereton deal is one of them? £8m for an unproven 19 year old championship player seems bonkers to me. Mowbray also massively pee’d off with details of our targets leaked. Wonder who the mole is? It’s not that McConnell Chap is it?

Who reported it in the northeast? Only seen Nixon (unreliable) and the s*n (unreliable) so far. I saw rich sharpe tweet that fisher will go out on loan. The poor bloke asked the same questions everyday by some guy on Twitter Roversfan4ever

Gary stonehouse of The S*n saying it’s a done deal £1.75m upfront £1.25 in add ons https://www.thesun.co.uk/sport/football/6932796/newcastle-united-transfer-news-blackburn-adam-armstrong/

Any News Al? I wonder how many times a day poor rich sharpe is asked that over the course of a transfer window? I still can’t believe people tweet that Jamie McConnell chap and takes everything he says as gospel. Any old sod can claim to be an “ITK”. You can always cover your back when deals come off with some BS reason why it didn’t come off.

Absolutely shocking tackle, and he has a nerve to shout at the ref when he shows him the red card. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gwHzCtRa2SE He should have been banned for good after this - http://www.theage.com.au/articles/2004/02/24/1077594824929.html Just found this on Youtube as well. The Roy Keane one gets worse everytime I see it, shocking http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ef2spIJ-1zw&feature=fvw
