Depends what system Rodgers plays.

With the signing of Lallana, he may decide to just go with one upfront (Sturridge).

We need players in ASAP. Can't wait around regardless. We haven't spent a penny yet and there is a nervous tension at the moment. We need 4 or 5 more and still the saga goes on.

Poyet said today he hopes a few deals will be concluded by the end of this week.

Marcos Alonso returning on a permanent deal is edging closer.

The thing is though Wes, if we sign Alonso and Borini that is still the same team as last year, where are all the new signings? I think we need at least six major signings or it's another season of relegation battling.

No mate. Thy are free transfer replacements for bardsley, Gardner and Westwood.

We are short in every position.

The point I was making mate is that you have signed players...and decent one's at that imho.

I'm talking major signings Wes. We haven't spent a penny yet. No one is excited at the prospect of the three already brought in (although the keeper could be a suprise package)

Pantilimon is top drawer.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't Sunderland got debts of over £100 million????

No Wes, nowhere near that figure. 23 million apparently, which is par for the course. Staying up should clear that!

Chelsea resign Didier Drogba.

[Steedeel]

Christian Rodriguez in talks with us apparently.

He'd be a class signing mate.

Shame he's not had more game time at Atletico Madrid.

Good for back up.

Costa will be the main man, so can't see Drogba starting many games.

I hope it's genuine and not his agent trying to test the waters.

Tbh, Rodriguez himself had said many times last season that if he didn't start getting more game time at Atletico that he would seek a move away, so I really believe that it's genuine mate.
