Newly-instated Liverpool messiah Kenny Dalglish has scheduled a meeting with
the club's American owners (including owner John Henry, who flew in from the States on Tuesday)
later today, and the national press have had a field day ruminating over the fact that the Scot
may use the opportunity to ask for a scheisse-load of cash to spend on a scheisse-load of
players.
Just days after Jermaine Jones made the move from the German Bundesliga to the English Premier
League, now comes word a U.S. teammate of Jones could be joining him in the EPL.
Sunderland is lining up a transfer bid for U.S. World Cup midfielder Michael Bradley. The Black
Cats are believed to be looking for a potential replacement for Lee Cattermole, who is battling a
back injury and is drawing transfer interest from the likes of Liverpool, and Bradley could be just
the player to solidify the midfield for Steve Bruce's side.
UPDATE: According to Sunderland's official website, Sunderland
have completed the deals for Sulley Muntari and Stephane Sessegnon.
Sessegnon signed a three-and-a-half year deal with the club after Sunderland agreed to pay a
7million Euro transfer fee.
Muntari has joined the club on loan for the rest of the season.
Sunderland have been handed a major boost ahead of their massive north-east derby at the weekend,
with the news that three key players could return to action in time to face Newcastle. Nedum
Onuoha, Danny Welbeck and club captain Lee Cattermole could all be named in a Sunderland side
desperate to gain some pride back after their 5-1 at the hands of their arch-rivals spanking
earlier in the season, something the football betting suggests they have every chance of doing.
