Eds, who you would say is in front for the signing of Moussa Sissoko? Newcastle or Sunderland? Funny how they're always linked with the players we scout.. Maybe they can't afford a scouting department. After all, they barely fill their stadium, even for huge matches {Ed001's Note - Newcastle have an advantage, they already have a French contingent to help a new lad settle in. That can be a huge pull to a player moving to a new country.}

Hahah Brilliant post.

Sunderland read the papers and go after any players we show any interest in.

We were the first ones to show interest in Larsson, Whickham, Fletcher, Adam Johnson etc.

Or do follow our scouting system - wake up man and stop just reading your mag propaganda !

Well want does that tell you ? maybe its the agents using it to get the best price for the player or its people on here and other sites writing crab are we the only club with scouts ? at the end of the day we always seem to get the player but do they stay more than a couple of years before moving on to so called BIGGER clubs

OR is it nufc chasing all players which safc sre in for ?

Can remy and debuchy play in Europa ?

Remy can't, he's already played for Marseilles in the Europe League.

Debuchy can, as he's only played in the Champion's League for Lille this season.

really not fussed about tomkins... would be more inclined to buy mbiwa or bong from the continent, much cheaper, and a lot more versatile

Mbiwa would be coup of the season.

He is expected to go to a top champions league club.

L remy 23 games 3 goals, 1 assist in a poor lge 8.3 mil absolute bargain for this red hot striker

Form is temporary, class is permanent. A change of leagues will get him good again. he's almost top class, so 8.3mil is a bargain. Would rather have remy than pay 14m for steven fletcher.

He's not a striker

It's not unheard of for players to be at a club, start well, and then become disillusioned and need a change in scenery. He's still a top top quality striker. Strikers sometimes hit a bad spell of form, and then move to another club to suddenly become prolific.

Good on you Pards excellant signing.

He's supposedly the new thierry henry but might have lost his way in France. Fletcher's record speaks for itself 2 teams 2 relegations overpaying for that class of player will come back and haunt the mackems.

He has a very similar style to Henry, plays on his toes and looks dainty with the ball, he loves to take players on.

not been stupid here a couple of posts below said we should of signed bassong from when we had him on loan.......we signed bassong but he wanted away after one good season and we sold him for really good money to spurs and he was rubbish for them so they got rid....does this sound right edd....k {Ed001's Note - they got rid because he was out of the team and looking to leave for first team football.}

There's nothing to suggest he would've come back though, he deserted us cos we got relegated, without really establishing himself a PL player. He may have found it difficult to admit he was wrong and come back had we offered the chance.

Bassong has been quality for norwich, we should try and go for him at the end of the season.

We signed bassong on tribunal for 500k and sold him for 8m good business there and now how much is he worth 4-5m
