He's reportedly on 25k a week at the moment and given his end of season form, you would expect him to want an increase on top of that.
Might be the type of player need, but will be a very long time before the club will compete financially for such players.
Would dramatically help if at least one of the new signings was a dead ball specialist. Who's scheduled to take the free kicks and penalties, now both David and Ulloa have gone?
Like the player, he had a really impressive spell at Feyenoord a couple of years ago, but then struggled to get on the Stoke bench last season. There's a high chance that he'll go out on loan again this season, due to Man City's large number of striker option, probably be a Premiership club...
Wasn't he one of the top earners at Fulham? Can see that being a stumbling block for most....
Disappointingly Jobi McAnuff was available on a free until this afternoon, experienced head and could have done a job, but has just signed with Leyton Orient.
It's not just 3k a week though, it's the knock on effects. Others will want the same or even a higher wage, so can lead to the club paying higher wages overall and can also damage the atmosphere within the club.
Friedel only signed a contract extension in June... wouldn't surprise me if Tremmel from Swansea made his way down, safe pair of hands, was back up to Vorm last year and has 1 year left on his contract, would prob be available on a free too. Given both Vorm and Fabianski are ahead of him.
Worryingly Andy Naylor tweeted this earlier:
Stephen Henderson reportedly also a target for Charlton on loan after Ipswich and Blackburn were put off by his salary. #bhafc
Makes you question, how much his wages actually are and also how much is the difference between PIGS.
He played five games for Yeovil last season, despite joining them on loan last September. If Greer, Dunk and Hughes are the first three options, then why not have faith in Maxi or Rea to make the step up for the fourth spot?
Though me and many others won't be surprised if a Liverpool player does comes down on loan for the season, think the chance of it being Emre are almost 0%.
10m pound price tag + Champions League experienced + Liverpool facing a lot more games this season doesn't equal a player that a club...
Like most have said above, Graham's firmly rooted in the North East and has also previously he doesn't want to leave the region. He's also reportedly on 40k a week, so another big stumbling block. Sunderland would probably pay a fair percentage of that, but still a hefty chunk left.
Can't blame him for wanting and proactively getting exposure and extra funds for the club he 's supported his whole life. Part of me wonders how Brighton fans would have reacted if something similar had happened to our club during the Withdean years.
Also Crowd funding has mostly been...
It looks like Doncaster are relying on their link with One Directions Louis Tomlinson to create new funding opportunities that will help them get to the Premiership, as got sent a link to the following earlier:

What's everyone's thoughts? Can we expect to see...
The DM article also mentions that Manuel is looking to move on following Osasuna's relegation from La Liga ... surely if you've been mostly playing in the B team , you'd view the relegation as a opportunity to have a go at becoming a first team regular.
Also the B team played in the Tercera...
Apparently he's currently on 26k a week and has two years left on his contract with Stoke, if the club can't justify half that for Ward, really can't see Wilson rocking up at the Amex anytime soon.
If Wickham did leave Sunderland, it means Sunderland will then be after a replacement and there is no reason why Ulloa will not then get linked with a move to the North East. Most important thing is that the club has a realistic list of potential replacements lined up, incase a sizeable bid does...
I'm really surprised that Gary McAllister hasn't been linked. Played at Liverpool while Sami was there, has experience of both managing (Leeds) and being an assistant manager as was the no.2 at Aston Villa while Houllier was in charge, so is maybe the experienced head that is needed? Is also...
