Rumour - Duncan Watmore

Jenny Fordham reporting that we may be interested in Duncan Watmore, who is available on a free from Sunderland. Rumour also in the Sun, so take with a pinch of salt.

He looked talented in Sunderland's PL days, but blighted by injuries so clearly has fitness issues.

In many ways, I'd see this as a good move. He is talented and would be eager to prove he's not a busted flush. I'm sure others will disagree with me, but I'd rather this over another Joorabchian player.

Can't say I'm enthused by another nearly man blighted by injuries looking to prove he isn't a busted flush.

Yes it is hard to see this as a good move as due to injuries he has barely played at League 1 level the last couple of years. Even retaining the now fit McCleary for another season would be a better option IMO.

26 year old winger. Had a broken ankle followed by cruciate injury in 2016. Given MB rarely starts games with a winger this sounds like a less than ideal move.

No thanks. Injury plagued winger who couldn't get into the Sunderland team and has been at a club who have been failing for years? No, just no.
