Whitley Jambo Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 they are looking for cover for Nosworthy as he is injured. Ricky Sbragia says they are looking for " experienced " defender on interview last night. Doesnt sound like Berra to be honest. Think they are looking short term/cheap cover rather than big money for young international who may or may not be able to step up to Premiership.

JamboFever Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Cardigan and a satchel? He's only been south of the border 10 minutes ffs! What we need in a central defender is for him to be caught in the army & navy stocking up on camo gear and jackboots. Or forging his own armour out of smelted down Ladas. Vlad must have a stockpile somewhere... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CJGJ Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 This one might have legs -- Sunderland manager states wants player for game on Tuesday -- we have our other centre back suspended on Saturday but after that free from suspension.

tambothejambo Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 http://www.readytogo.net/smb/showthread.php?t=382658 Some comments beggar belief. * Berra : Isn't he spanish? * I'd have Anderson over Berra. Berra is ok, bummed up by their manager as "good enough for Serie A, Man U Chelsea Liverpool and the Bundesliga" but can't get a game over David Weir, Gary Caldwell or McManus for Scotland. Still he's all that! * he may well be a good player, but defensively we are doing it tough, and have a tough run in.is it worth the risk bringing in a bloke from a pub league? * To be fair the way the Aberdeen fans went on over Russell Anderson made him sound like Maldini. The Scottish league is pants, it's probably on par with signing a league 1 player unless it's from Rangers or Celtic (in which case they would be on par with a Championship player Does he really want to go to a club whose fans have their heads stuck so far up their own @rses. :108years: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'M IBRAHIM TALL Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Easily the worst defender i have ever seen in the EPL is Paul McShane. When he was on loan to Hull he was the cause of EVERY one of Man City's goals when they went 4 up at half time. Sunderland recalled him and he gave away a ridicoulas penalty in is first game back. If Sunderland fans would rather have this imposter playing for them then Berra than suits me down to the ground. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hackney Hearts Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 Whether they have a point or not, there's still a lot of ignorance on display. Old Firm players get preferential treatment when it comes to selection for Scotland - hence Caldwell and McManus getting picked, and Weir's place being safe until he's 93, so long as he's with Rangers. Berra's young yet though - he will win a lot more caps. Hearts (the pub league team) had Weir in his prime, before he went on to give several years good service to Everton (at a level Sunderland could only dream of). Sunderland must also value pub league goalkeepers quite highly, as they spent 9 million quid on one recently. But right enough, only Rangers and Celtic (Championship level) have players worth considering. The Anderson and Spanish comments aren't even worthy of a reply.

Being Scottish Sbragia could well have Berra on his radar, with Gordon's knowledge of him to call upon as well. Hope it ain't true but unfortunately really think it might happen.
