So some of the press are telling us that the highly rumoured link of Sunderland signing midfielder Kevin Nolan on a free is not going to happen. Instead, Sam Allardyce will be going for a new striker in the January transfer window, as apparently club Chairman Ellis Short has offered funds to the new manager.
Pushing rumours that veteran striker Jermain Defoe will be on his way out, heading to prem new boys Bournemouth. This rumour has been doing the rounds since the summer window, in which Defoe himself put an end to it by commented on is Instagram account. Saying something along the lines of you should believe everything you read in the papers, that he’s committed to SAFC!
We’ve also heard the rumours about money being made available with Dick Advocaat in the driving seat, papers saying Dick was promised money, then there wasn’t money, but then we signed Borini?
Then surely with signing Borini who was a long term link after the whole loan deal dramatics, it’s our defence that should be strengthened, as he was the player to strengthen the fire power.
