If Sunderland can beat us in the transfer market there is'nt much hope. Kenwright out!!
They have the money to, mate. They've got a yank business man who took over at the end of the season, went from being a minor shareholder to majority shareholder and took over the club.
They have a fair amount of cash to spend. Rumours of a £40mill transfer kitty. Its why Steve "Does a runner when theres no money" Bruce left Wigan.
We are not even after Cana so it's not a case of Sunderland pipping us to him.
It was in the Echo the other day that the rumours were false. Yes we could do with a player like him but defensive midfield is not a priority.
We have missed out on one player we were actually after this summer, Kyle Naughton, under unfortunate circumstances. Maybe we could have done more, matched Tottenham's fee etc but to be honest everything else we did was fine, it was out of our control.
Another player we are rumoured to be interested in, Rasmus Elm, could very well sign for us.
Basically alls I am saying is we have missed out on one player (who we were actually interested in and lodged a bid) and all of a sudden it's doom and gloom, why? If this was true for the likes of Cana, Mbia etc then I would worry but it wasn't, we were never interested.
I don't think we need another defensive midfielder. I'd be happy to see Neville and Rodwell battle for the defensive midfield position so that we can add some quality footballers to the side, players who make a difference in the final third.
