There's a lad if we want height.

20 years old, 6ft 9".

9 goals in 32 appearances.

You could never have a cross that was too high or long with that lad.

I'm pretty sure Marvin Johnson would give that a good go 😂

I’m in no way a fan of Bett but didn’t he keep something like a dozen clean sheets. I thought I saw he was in the top ten for clean sheets last season.

according to this link, Bettinelli had the 3rd lowest save percentage against shots on target.

The three lads from Sunderland we have been linked with have been offered new contracts. Leadboots has been released.

That just sounds so wrong on so many levels 😧

Sure Sunderland will keep Leadbitter on in some capacity. If they dont and he wants to enter coaching think he would be a good youth coach here.

Especially the younger age group in terms of providing first hand insight in to what it takes to be a model pro and how to get the best out of your ability, regardless of whether you are not naturally most talented footballer.

O'Nien covers a lot of positions, pretty much the entire back 4. Would make sense in that regard.

Was mentioned yesterday mate, @Borodane didn't have much good to say about him! 😅

Not sure he's played on the left much (Could be wrong). But I see him as a bit like McNair in the fact he can play central defence, central midfield and can play right-back too.

Thinking about it, could he be a direct replacement for McNair? Sure a few on here have said we'd be open to selling McNair to fund the summer transfers?

Remember when we were bragging about a worldwide scouting network.

Well that's left us in a pickle where to play him. I can see Fry Onien working well together. I just hope signing for us would leave a spring in his step.
