    Give that Fulham manager Lawrie Sanchez has just signed David healy in addition to Aaron Hughes, Steven Davis and Chris Baird in the pre season.

    Will Sunderland Vs Fulham turn into the "new" Celtic V Rangers? Discuss...

    Nah, I think it's just a case of the Northern players respecting Sanchez and the Irish players respecting Keane.... Lots of players sign for clubs because of personal or national ties to the manager, Wenger being the prime example.

    Fulham will be a decent side this season.

    Yes, at least as good as Northern Ireland.

    Which means I'm putting a few squid on them going down.

    Agree with you the ps1, think they are rubbish and David Healy wont keep them afloat on his own,
    I also think the hype surrounding Sunderland wont be long disapearing next season, although the transfer season is still in full swing , Keano aint attracted in too many big names as yet,

    Looks impressive enough for a tophalf finish to me. Add to that a quality manager and you might wanna keep that money in your pocket.

    The biggest problem for Roy Keane is that while players might be attracted to working with him, they don't find living/working in Sunderland attractive, especially when compared to living in London or one of the other big cities and there is nothing Roy can really do about this, unless he can build a winning team and use that to attract further talent in the future. The wages etc would probably be the same wherever these players go, so wages alone aren't the deciding factor.
