More like he's refused a new deal - Same with Morgan Fox @ Sheffield Wednesday... Its always the tricky thing with the released list as wont state if its because they're surplus to requirements
and I have never heard of most of them .. Sunderland have been running their own job retention scheme since long before the pandemic started .. clearing out the dead wood is an understatement, especially now that the club is up for sale yet again
No,2 maybe (though you are forgetting he was NUFC player of the season 2016) but I bet Rob Elliott has more money than Paul Elliott
Yes but he hasn't played a game in anger in almost three years! There will be plenty of keepers around better qualified with the number that are going to be released in the current climate.
Interesting to see Gnanduillet who we were linked with from Blackpool was released.
Marcus Maddison also released, it seems so long ago when we thought we were going to sign him for actual money (not that we actually had any)!
We are going to need midfielders so Liam Bridcutt could be worth a shout.
Bridcutt was being talked about as a possible loan for us early last season .. he impressed a few when playing against us for Forest where he ended up on loan .. he finished the cut short season at Lincoln .. he's 31, experienced and could do a short term job for us .. I say again though, where's our money coming from and what is the point of signing well paid players until it's certain if & when the season will start ?
He came through as a striker with a very good record in our reserves. He was deployed mainly on the left of midfield under various managers but did well whenever he played up top in League One for us. Being as versatile as he is meant that he was never really given a proper run as a striker which, for him, was unfortunate.
I've been a big critic of his but appreciate that a lot of those criticisms were due to him, effectively, being played out of position.

Need to remember folks that with our current situation and reputation, we will be an option of last resort for any player other than the needy and the desperate. And that’s supposing we are actually allowed to sign anyone. Window shopping at the moment is all a bit pointless.

The problem is can we approach any of them in our current state?
I can handle relegation. I just want to have a normal transfer window.
I notice they've released Tommy Smith and Thomas Smith, lets hope any interested parties don't buy the wrong Tom Smith!
