    Michael Kightly, who is also on loan elsewhere at Watford, will sign a loan deal with Sheffield United. United are keen to tie down the winger to help regain his fitness for nest season. Kightly will sign a new deal before he leaves so he knows where is future is at. <yikes> I hope we get first dibs;)

    I think Wolves may be wanting Kightly to figure for them , why change clubs if keeping him out on loan !

    Carson eh! any relation to Willie? or Frank?

    Hi GT. Surely we have some money left from the summer. We did not spend 4mill surely or am i senile lol. Could be either.

    I thought 500k would be a fair amount when you think of the quality player he is and the fact he is a premiership player, he is not an unknown from ryman south league or what ever.

    Out of curiosity how much would you offer?

    The fact is we have £10M to pay back over 5 years, and are still making an annual loss. So we need to set aside a minimum of £2M per year. The £4M in the summer has covered the signings so far and the first payment on the bonds. In addition, Baz has been saying the Red Lion development will go ahead, the SW Corner will go ahead, the pitch relaying (£1M+) will go ahead. Players valuations are not just how good they are but diminish over the term of their contract as well. So there are two judgements I believe, 1) Do we have £500K to spend? if so where is it coming from and should it be ring fenced towards our next bond repayment? and 2) Is he worth £500K with only 6 months left on his contract? I have no doubt with 2 or 3 years left on his contract he would be, but the asset value of his contract on Sunderland's accounts should have diminished significantly. In June he would be a free agent for example and no value to them.

    I like Nosworthy, and hope we could get him, but I struggle to see how the economics of Watford FC could enable us to spend £500K

    Nothing really to do with Watford - but have just read that both MoanUtd and the Gooners are chasing FC Twente winger Ola John. Guess who his useless lump of a brother is <laugh>

    Speaking of European giants, ITV seem to think that we're one of the most realistic destinations for Shamrock Rovers striker Karl Sheppard.

    I used a bit of licence. While I'm not banking on our place in this division just yet, we don't look like relegation certainties.

    As he's a keeper, maybe he's related to Scott.
