yeah a move to Portsmouth from Sunderland is a move in the wrong direction. Portsmouth doing good but because of their history they will never always be like Bolton or West Ham under Redknapp: 6th and Uefa cup appearances.
Sunderland have pedigree and in the next 3 years they could be a BIG side again cause Keano is not a man who settles for mediocrity. One year to survive, one year to consolidate and another year to push on.
If he was Stern age, I woulda say yeah make the move..but Kenwyne young enough to become a Sunderland legend then make the big money move at 27 by which time it will be EVERY big side in the world clamoring for him from (Real, Barca, Bayern, Milan, not just England)
