I see Sunderland have just confirmed Roberto De Fanti and Valentino Angeloni as Director of Football and Chief scout respectively. The latter was chief scout at Inter and both have impressive credentials.

Must admit i'm pretty jealous of this and the direction sunderland are going.

No not down hehe

But you must admit Ellis Short has good ideas for them and wish we had him in charge of Newcastle.

They obviously mean business and have a long term goal and building something there. Unlike ashley.

Can see them getting some top italians and bargains.

Why do we care who they put in charge. Obviously a mackem.

AND? . .

Oooo get them. Well at least we haven't got a league one manager. And at least we know finishing 5th isn't completely out of our depth.

And I should be bothered about this. Why?

Pardews last job was Southampton in league one!

Chief scout at Inter, there's a laugh and a half right there.

Inter has been in decline ever since Mourinho left, and even then Mourinho was playing oldies.

And we all know exactly how much of a negative effect a Director of football has. If Big clubs have problems between managers and directors of football imagine what will happen to a small club like Sunderland.

You have to laugh at Sunderland creating all these Hierarchy positions like they are Man City while they have a 2nd rate squad.

But pardew has managed a prem team. Di canio will soon lead sunderland to another relegation football. I really don't care about sunderland getting a director of football or a chief scout. Nobody should ever be jealous of their rivals, let alone sunderland being a smaller club than us.

Spot on 8th post!

Actually, when Mourinho left Inter, Their best players either retired or left

If you look at inter, They have a few Rising stars due to Sunderlands new scout, never know, might fu*k things up at Sunderland

Just reading that the impressive credentials of the new chief scout at Sunderland, Valention Angeloni extend to a successful 4 year spell at Udinese as well, where he uncovered, amongst others, Alexis Sanchez, David Pizzaro, Vicenzo Iaquinta, Sulley Muntari and Asamoah Gyan.
Apparently the new Director of Football Roberto De Fanti was 'instrumental' in the appointment of Di Canio.
Looks like Sunderland are putting together a tight knit 'team' over there.

Sunderland have a second rate squad? Beat you 3 nill also just finished below you and you deluded clowns think you have a good squad.

Sunderland are re building the whole squad and some quality players will be brought in.

I guarantee sunderland will be top ten next season AT LEAST.

Also smaller club OK where's Jesmond geordie.

So di canio leading sunderland to relegation but please tell me how many teams pardew has led to relegation, just a few and almost you lot last season

just watching the match of the day highlights where we beat man u 3-0! good times! remember this team that went up against a tough man u squad:
4-4-2
Krul
Simpson Williamson Coloccini Santon
Taylor Cabaye Tiote Jonas
Ba Ameobi

I remember watching it on tv 1, we marked man for man and when man u attacked we'd pile loads of pressure on them and our defence stayed very resilient, tiote, colo and willo silenced rooney! simmo off the line! And santon made loads of runs forward, when we attacked, we were brave, didn't just attack with like 3 or 4 men, like mid table teams do against top quality teams. We were brave, had imagination, although it was quite route one, but it worked. And I remember the co-commentator saying before ba scored, "I think newcastle are maybe just throwing too many bodies going forward, they need to be a bit more careful just be wary of counter attacks" but you know what? It paid off!

i'm a very positive fan and i'm confident we will return to these sort of times in the next few years.
Keep the faith!

An optimist at last! Sir, I salute you! The miserable self-styled realists have monopolised this site for far too long.

Does anyone think we would have a chance of signing Victor Moses? The club obviously rate him as we tried before he left Palace for Wigan and must be surplus to requirements at Chelsea with their transfer plans, he would be excellent on the left of an attacking 3.
Also what about a bid for Sinclair as I can't see him even getting a squad number at Citeh.
Spire Toon.

Sincalir is a maybe, but I think he may end up at Liverpool. Moses will probably go to Everton.

However, if no one goes in for them, and we make a late move then who knows. But the above is more likely

I think Moses will cost too much, Sinclair will be reasonable (ish), I think wil cost around £6-7m.

Out:
Harper-free
Simpson-free
Williamson-1m
Coloccini-San Lorenzo
Obertan-3m
Gosling-2m
Jonas-3m
Sh Ameobi-1m
Cisse-18m

In:
Alex Pearce-free
Mamadou Sakho-9m
Dries Mertens-11m
Wilfried Bony-11m
Weimann-3m

Hate to burst your bubble, but sadly, I only agree with Alex Pearce

Sakho is too good and being chased by arsenal and spurs

Mertens, again is on top clubs wish list

We have cooled our interest in Bony

And how can you rate Weimann at 3m!
He's worth around 8m

Thanks for that Pardew. Now we know who is coming and who is going. What formation you going got play next season?

Forget Weimann - now signed a new contract with Villa.
