it’s utter crap. You might as well say steven gerrard will be leaving liverpool! craps! Scholes is a red devil through n through!
The most complete player, his only shortcoming is that he has never learned (and will never learn) when not to tackle.

joninjapan – thanks for the feedback. admittedly i was uncomfortable with them in the first place – will remove them after some time.

Raju – you obviously haven’t been reading the rest of SL but yea, thanks for the reminder.

To be fair, this wasn’t Chris’s idea, he’s refuting a rumour that popped up last week. AFAIK, that’s what SL does with joy

They aren’t. It’d be the same with any team. Two reasons that jump straight to mind are the sheer number of players that are being talked about, coupled with Keane’s inexperience. Yes Keane has done well getting an existing team organised, but it seems every player over 32 or in United’s reserve team are linked with them.

The key word in there is POSSIBLE relegation battle. I donâ€™t personally think they will be, and I hope they arenâ€™tâ€¦ but better prepared teams have come up from the championship and gone straight back down again. My only worry for Sunderland is how many players Keane is going to bring in, and if they will have time to gel before the season kicks off. Not to mention the moral of players who are on the brink of playing in the Premiership only to hear endless rumors about 30+ year olds replacing them.

How is sunderland different to any club regarding bringing players in and them gelling together??
