Sunderland A.F.C 2024/2025

[Djbb]

Uusia nimiä noussut esiin, liittyen tulevaksi päävalmentajaksi:

- Bo Svensson, entinen Mainzin valmentaja
- Liam Rosenior, Ex Hull valmentaja
- Peter Krawietz, Poolissa Kloppin valmennusryhmään kuulunut valmentaja

Käsittääksen kuitenkin Will Still edelleen ykkösehdokas ja joidenkin lähteiden mukaan tämä diili olisi hyvin lähellä toteutumista. Katsellaan.

[Coulijoe]

Roseniorin wagoniin.

[Djbb]

Nyt 102 päivää ilman vakituista päävalmentajaa/manageria. Eikä karuselli ole pysähtynyt vieläkään, katsellaan.

Palace haluaa ilmeisesti Joben. Ei lähde pikkurahalla, mutta jos tarjous osuu, niin poistuu kesän aikana.

[Djbb]

Uusi nimi valmentajakarusselissa on Pascal Jansen, AZ Alkmaarin entinen valmentaja.

Will Stillin kohdalla ei vieläkään ratkaisua ja mies saattaakin hyvin päätyä RC Lensin käskyttäjäksi.

[Djbb]

Jansenin nimi vedetty yli listalta ja samaan aikaan KLD antaa virallisen lausunnon, jossa kiittää kannattajia kärsivällisyydestä ja kertoo että prosessi on loppusuoralla.

Rosenior tämän hetken nimi.

[Coulijoe]

Kelpaisi

[Djbb]

Kelpaisi

Ja valitettavasti heti pois pelistä.

On tämä saatana työmaa.

Cifuentes pitäisi ostaa ulos sopimuksestaan, tai sitten "ässä hihasta".

Steve Bruce olisi vapailla markkinoilla.

[Djbb]

Steve Bruce olisi vapailla markkinoilla.

Niin on moni muukin.

Etiäpäin.

[Djbb]

Tämän hetken nimi on Marti Cifuentes.

Tuttu Bajenista ja OPR:sta, jossa teki hyvää duunia. Tämä toki vaatisi kompensaatiota Loftus Roadin suuntaan, joten jäädään seuraamaan.

[Djbb]

Kaiken veivaamisen jälkeen, uusi valmentaja tulee olemaan ranskalainen Regis Le Bris.

Tunnettu lähinnä FC Lorientin valmentajana ja tuo oman staffinsa mukanaan.

[bossman]

Ensi kaudesta tulossa varmasti mielenkiintoinen. Hyvä että saivat nyt sentään päävalmentajan palkattua, jota ollaankin jo melkein Mike Doddsin palkkauksesta asti odoteltu.
Clarke varmaan lähtee jatkamaan matkaansa johonkin valioliiga joukkueeseen, saa nähdä kenet seura aika korvaamattoman jätkän tilalle keksii. Uuden kärjen hankintaa on kyllä myös saanut odottaa ja uusi kärki olisikin toivottua.

[Jack the Ripper]

Sunderland AFC: We are delighted to announce that Chris Rigg has put pen to paper on a new three-year contract!

Tämä oli kyllä loistokiinnitys.

[Djbb]

Regis Le Bris siis uusi päävalmentaja ja ainakin toistaiseksi Doddsy, sekä Proctor apunaan.

Keskikentälle kiinnitettiin kokemusta, kun Alan Browne saapui Prestonista. 29-vuotias irlantilainen veti Prestonin keskikentällä reippaan vuosikymmenen putkeen, kipparoiden joukkuetta useamman kauden ajan.

Joukkue nyt Espanjassa, jossa seuraava ohjelma:

19.7 Nottingham Forest

21.7 Eldense

Ennen kauden starttia vielä Englannissa seuraavat ottelut:

27.7 Blackpool

30.7 Bradford City

[Djbb]

Siirtoikkunan huhumylly alkaa pyörimään:

- Udinese tehnyt tarjouksen Pierre Ekwahista.

- Galatasaray laittanut pöytään 7m£ Tray Humesta, tämä hylätty.

- Tarjous lähetetty Caenin hyökkääjästä, Alexandre Mendysta, joka voitti viime kaudella selvästi Ligue2:n maalipörssin.

Dan Ballard kuusi viikkoa sivussa loukkaantumisen takia.

[Djbb]

Tulevan kauden paidat julkaistu ja retroa puskee. Hummel toimittaa ennätysdiilillä. Henkilökohtaisesti tippuu todella kivasti ja kotipaita myytiin loppuun viikossa.

[VAUX]

Pirun kivat ovat kyllä!

[Coulijoe]

Ai, että

Dan Ballard signs new contract!

Sunderland AFC is delighted to announce that Dan Ballard has signed a new contract on Wearside.

Committing his future to the Club until 2028, the defender has put pen to paper on a one-year extension at the Stadium of Light.

Ballard has been a standout performer in red and white since his arrival from Arsenal in 2022 and he also captained Northern Ireland for the first time in May.

After committing his future to the Club, the defender said: “Sunderland gave me the opportunity to come and play in the Championship and I’ve really enjoyed my time here so far. When they came forward to talk about a new deal, it was the only thing I wanted to do, so I’m delighted to have signed it. I’m now looking forward to the season.”

Kristjaan Speakman added: “We are all really pleased with Dan’s progress throughout the past two seasons, and he has become an important player in our dressing room. The level of his performances and his potential to improve further are clear, and it’s a great endorsement of all the work happening behind the scenes that a player of Dan’s calibre has reiterated his commitment to our Club.”

Ballard, 24, has featured on 66 occasions since his arrival on Wearside and he is renowned as one of the best defenders in the second tier.

He featured in all but three of the Club’s Championship fixtures last term and also contributed three goals.

The defender underwent a minor procedure last week after sustaining a knee injury in the Black Cats’ pre-season opener at South Shields.

After missing the trip to Spain to continue his recovery at the Academy of Light, Ballard is expected to return to action in August.

Ian Poveda, 24-vuotias laituri on siirtymässä Wearsidelle.

Viime kaudet lainalla Blackburnissa, Balckpoolissa ja Sheffield Wednesdayssa. Kaudella 2020/2021 14 ottelua Valioliigaa Leedsissa. Vyöllä pari ottelua myös Kolumbian maajoukkueessa.

Poveda saapuu Sunderlandiin vapaana agenttina.

Ian Poveda joins Sunderland AFC!

Sunderland AFC is delighted to announce the signing of Colombia international Ian Poveda.

The 24-year-old attacker has signed a three-year contract at the Stadium of Light, which includes a Club option of an additional year.

Poveda joins following his departure from Leeds United, who he represented in the Premier League and the Sky Bet Championship throughout a four-year spell.

Upon moving to Wearside, he said: “All I want to do is get on the pitch and play for Sunderland. I feel like I have the right people at the Club supporting me and the love I’ve already received from the people here is something I can’t describe. I’m a creative player with good one-on-one ability, who is never afraid to take anyone on. I’ll work hard for the team and I’m excited to get started.”

Kristjaan Speakman added: "We have tracked his experiences in the Championship throughout recent seasons and are delighted. He’s strong in one-on-one situations and has the acceleration to change the tempo of our play, whilst offering the flexibility to play in several attacking positions. We feel these are qualities that can improve our team and equally, he requires the foundations to develop the next stage of his career. We are confident we can provide that platform and we are delighted to welcome Ian to the Club."

Born in Southwark, London, Poveda built an impressive resume at youth level after spending time with Chelsea, Arsenal, Barcelona, Brentford, and Manchester City.

After representing the Citizens at youth level, he made his senior debut for Pep Guardiola’s side in the last four of the 2018-19 Carabao Cup.

He continued to feature in City’s senior matchday squad and joined Leeds United in January 2020, six months before the Club’s promotion to the Premier League.

Poveda made 14 appearances in the top flight in his first full season at Elland Road, which was followed by second-tier loan moves to Blackburn Rovers and Blackpool.

The Colombia international, who has earnt two senior caps, featured on 17 occasions in the Championship last season, starting the campaign with Leeds before joining Sheffield Wednesday in January.

Poveda will join his new team-mates on Thursday morning ahead of the Club’s pre-season trip to Blackpool this weekend.

Blondy Nna Noukeu joins Sunderland AFC!


Sunderland AFC is delighted to announce the signing of Blondy Nna Noukeu.

Following his departure from Stoke City, the goalkeeper has agreed a two-year contract at the Stadium of Light with a Club option of an additional year.

Noukeu has been training with Régis Le Bris’ squad throughout pre-season and he joined the Black Cats on their trip of Spain.

Upon putting pen to paper, Blondy said: “I’m delighted to sign for Sunderland. I have been on trial at the Club for several weeks and it is great to train and get to know everyone. This is the right place for me to be if I want to take my career to the next level. We have a really good group of players and staff so I am looking forward to kicking on. Working closely with Anthony Patterson and Simon Moore has been great. They bring a good atmosphere to the place because they give everything and demand a lot, so that’s really helped me settle.”

Kristjaan Speakman said: “We’ve been impressed with Blondy throughout the pre-season and we are pleased to officially welcome him to the Club. He’s not only at the level required to work in our group, but we also feel he has the potential to develop further. Blondy’s settled in well and he’s motivated to improve, which is a great asset for him as a player and for our squad.”

Born in Douala, Cameroon, the 22-year-old grew up in Belgium and started his career with Royal Excel Mouscron, following in the footsteps of his father who also represented the Mouscron-based Club.

A move to Stoke came to fruition in 2019 and Noukeu became a regular for the Potters’ development side, making a total of 36 appearances.

His time with the Staffordshire-based Club also included valuable loan spells with Crawley Town and Southend United, as he earnt experience at senior level.

Noukeu will now continue to train alongside his new team-mates ahead of the 2024-25 season, which will get underway next weekend when Régis Le Bris’ side travel to Cardiff City.
