So you'd be worried if he lined up against us at Hillsborough?

Why has Sinclair been linked to Sheffield Wednesday? To be fair he'd probably get 2 against us (that's normally how it works ;-) I had it in my head that he'd scored more goals for us than he has. The goal against the Baggies, the one that the keeper should have saved against Leicester, the 3 against Notts Co stayed with me. I think the 3 against Notts Co put the idea in my head that he scored more against lower opposition. So nah maybe not. Scratch that comment. I'll go get another coffee to wake up some more.

Did Rodgers have Sinclair at Swansea?

Not sure about their personal lives, but I think he played for Swansea while Rodgers was manager😵

I may be in a minority but I think Sinclair could do really well in the Championship. He'd no doubt be a world beater in Scotland if he ends up there.
Depends entirely on his attitude; which - thus far - has not been brilliant for any club he's turned out for.

My impression's that you need to make things easy for him, and if you do, he'll generally deliver the goods. I think a mix of coherent attacking structure, a good hard-working forward who can create space, and some players capable of playing the final ball, so that he doesn't have to worry about anything other than using his pace and into goalscoring positions, would get him plenty of goals. I don't see that necessarily as bending over to build the team around him either, but rather, simply building a team that plays to the strengths of as many of its players as possible.

Sinclair has been anonymous for us ( like a few others of course)

I would be happy with 2.75 million for him  .

The word on the street is that he doesn't actually like playing football, that he sometimes can be arsed to just do enough to get on people's payrolls but then gives up. Based on his Aston Villa career so far it's hard to argue with that. I hope he gets sold with the rest of the wasters, as I view him in a similar way.

another typical modern footballer , the Bentleys,Nzogbia's and Irelands of the world. Hes still living on a reputation where he had a few good games at Swansea but this will soon disappear and he will become a waste of space and soon be on im a Z celebrity get me out of here

Very accurate assessment Pablo. Nzogbia played his heart out for sunderland last week. Because he has no cushion (contract) to snuggle up on .....

Couple of different journalists on Twitter are saying Richards to Sunderland is not happening (and possibly never was.)

sunderland thought Villa had said five bags of wotsits and not 5 million pound

Sunderland thought Villa were paying them 5 million to take him.
