Black Cats pair seal switch
safc.com.

Midfielders Carlos Edwards and Grant Leadbitter have joined Championship side Ipswich Town in a combined deal.

Sunderland will bank up to £2.6m from the sale of Leadbitter and a potential further £1.35m for Edwards.

The pair will link up with former Sunderland manager Roy Keane, as the Irishman looks to strengthen his squad who have so far struggled to make an impact on the Championship this season.

Sunderland-born Leadbitter, who flourished during Keane's reign at Sunderland, will leave Sunderland after making the progression from the club's youth system and regularly featuring in Sunderland's starting line-up since his league debut against Charlton in December 2005.

His initial club debut was in League Cup action against Huddersfield Town in September 2003.

Edwards was brought to Sunderland by Keane from Luton Town, in the January transfer window of the 2006/07 campaign, to bolster attacking options as they pushed for promotion from the Championship.

The Trinidadian winger was an instant hit on Wearside as the the team were promoted to the Barclays Premier League as Champions, and will be remembered by fans for his screamer against Burnley in the 3-2 victory at the Stadium of Light during the 2006/07 campaign, that edged the Black Cats closer to sealing promotion.

However, Edwards failed to make an impact in the top flight the following season and spent time at Wolves on-loan in 2008.

Both players featured in Sunderland's Carling Cup win over Norwich last week, whilst Leadbitter replaced an injured Lee Cattermole during Sunderland's home defeat at Chelsea earlier this season.

Edwards and Leadbitter follow Danny Collins out of the Stadium of Light exit door today, as the sumer transfer window is set to slam shut at 5pm.

I was of the same inclination Andre. Oh well. Hopefully; he and Keane will restore their glory days linking up like they did before.

I feel sorry for Carlos as the injuries got in the way of his tilt at the EPL, without them it may of been a different story, I was less worried about him being able to make the step up than a lot of the others. Still think it was teh best for him given he wasn't in Bruce's plans. Another signing on fee and a 3 year deal is also good for him and no doubt a loyalty bonus from Sunderland, all not to be sniffed at, at his age given he wouldn't of been on mega money anyway.

I wish him well and thanks for helping us get promted.

Nah but u eh hear he was willing to listen to offers For KJ it was in the KJ to stoke thread... But am glad Carlos out of Sunderland wish he was still in the premier league though with wolves o sum. Say what Carlos should be playing regularly and i think he would light up this league just hope if he help them win promotion Keane don't do him wrong again...

played the best football of his career and showed his most confidence playing in the CCC a couple years ago, so hopefully this will give him and TT a boost if he could find that form again.

But Carlos still relatively young - I don't know what SB getting on him about age. Is not like Sunderland have so much quality at Carlos position that he will never get a sweat. Give SB until after Christmas to start missing the Rolls Royce bad bad.

I thought after the RB performance vs Norwich SB would reconsider as Sunderland are short on the right side and if Steed or Bardsley are injured at the same time during the season I think he will regret this

Henderson is not better than Carlos and I'm sure Carlos can be as good as a RB than Nosworthy and Bardsley

Carlos just got unlucky wid the injury, i had no doubt he would did better had he not been injured, one of our best players ever ! bruce is ah c**t!

So wait, you feel Keane did him wrong while at SAFC? How so? From my perspective Keane was patient and gave Carlos every opportunity to get back to his normal self including loaning him out to a team where he could sweat regular and regain his confidence. I realize it ha men who doh like Keane in here but objectively speaking how yuh could say Keane do him wrong? The same Keane who come back and rescuing him from riding the bench all season behind Henderson on Bruce' depth chart?

Steed Malbranque is simply a better player than Carlos Edwards.

No shame in that.
