news: Neill in talks with Sunderland


Lucas Neill

It has been reported that the 31 year old Australian, Lucas Neill, is currently in talks with Sunderland. Neill would be able on a free transfer, but will come with a price - high wages - as he is known to be a 'football mercenary'.

Neill, turned down a move to Liverpool in favour of a move to Upton Park (where he would receive double the wages on offer at Liverpool).

However Neill is a lead on the field and would provide some much needed experience in the Black Cats defence.

Neill can play as a centre back and right back so would provide cover, even if not in the starting eleven.

A good 'buy' if it comes off.
