What are the chances of this sh*t?
quote:

Look no further than Michael Bradley's potential transfer from Roma to Sunderland. As soon as reports dropped early Saturday that the Black Cats’ bid for Bradley had been rejected by the Italian club -- one source tells ESPN FC that Sunderland is expected to present an improved offer before Europe's transfer window closes next week

Put rumor in the title, plz.

We'll see what Sunderland offers. If it's around 16 million dollars Roma will bite, but given Strootman's injury (out for a month) I don't think they sell Bradley.

I don't hate this. Sunderland seems like a club on the rise and the Stadium of Light usually looks pretty rowdy. And the Premier League is a better watch, for me, than Serie A.

They just hired a crazy person as manager whose only former managerial job was at Swindon Town.

They have signed some good players and seem to play pretty good football. I didn't say they were Barcelona. Di Canio is an upgrade over Martin O'Neill at least.

You had me there.

Seriously, put rumor in the title.

I have. Twice. The only 2 games they have played this season. Dominated Fulham, were unlucky to lose. Gave up a goal late on the road at S'hampton. They may have a shitty year, I don't know. It would be cool as hell to watch Bradley and Jozy play together, and probably a good thing for the US, if they did make the move.

The match where they had 33% possession?

It would be best for Bradley to play in a league that prizes technical ability and progress his skill in that way. The bottom-half of the EPL doesn't do that.

It would be best for him to play in a better league against better players. Which in this case, is the Premier League.

Not sure what's funny about that. The Premier League is a better league than Serie A. And the gap is getting larger.

Yeah I was actually agreeing with Bhoy until the laughing comment.

Historically, I have no idea if they play good football or not. The 2 games I have seen this year they have looked like a pretty good, athletic team. And Jozy has looked good.

I don't see it happening. Roma should be asking for a lot of money, and I don't think Sunderland will be able to give them 15 million Euros or whatever. Their current bids are a joke.
