The annoying, but traditional, totally unfounded summer rumours thread

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

Totally unfounded obviously, but a sunderland fan on twitter wrote this (before the Waghorn story broke today)

"Heard from usual good source that Ferdinand and new striker may mean Bardsley and Waghorn off on loan to Leicester".

Les or Rio?

Pity - we could do with someone on the starboard bow, Jim.

The Lord Mayor has just tweeted "Simon Cox was allegedly spotted at Belvoir Drive today. He would be a great strike partner for Waghorn".

Not a rumour but I would love to see him here.... He is unattached so could sign for us outside the transfer window.

Agreed. Very powerful, experienced centre back. Could be just want we need to fill the 'Brown' role.

I really am too old to be sniggering at the words Brown role. :icon_bigg

Sorry. Fill the 'Wayne' role. :icon_bigg

I agree Brown needs to be replaced with another biggun, but can't see it happening. I think Sousa wants a centre-half partenership with a big lad (Hobbs) and a more natural footballer (Moreno?).

 

[Mike - True Blue Tinter]

I am not sure Hobbs is experienced enough to read the game well without a more experienced CB alongside him.

Also whilst Hobbs is tall, I do not think he is 'physical' enough (including dirty tricks) to deal well with players like Bothroyd.

I don't like it either, I would much rather have an Elliott/Taggs style backline but I don't think its really Sousa's thing. What has been so obvious so far is that we're getting bullied from set-pieces.

Daily Star: Coventry are preparing an official approach for Leicester boss Nigel Pearson.

I don't know what's worse: the Star reporting this or Coventry thinking they have a chance in hell of getting Pearson.

Are they serious :icon_lol:

I notice the story's dated September 1st, but he'd only be able to sign for another club if his contract was cancelled before the end of the window. Otherwise he's buggered until January.

If the club were releasing him I imagine they did it the day before so he could join another club.
