Pelter
Why for you into the Sunderlan soccer site(safc.com)there isn't Pelter into the team players profile?
As I understand it, he picked up a slight injury in a 2nd team
outing for them while under trial, and the club (understandably)
won't let him sign until he passes another medical. So at the
moment he isn't part of their squad.
I could be wrong though, i'm sure someone with more knowledge than me will come on and confirm/deny.

With the transfer window closed, and Pelter still apparently
unsigned, has he missed the chance for this part of the season? or
is he un-attached to any club at all currently, and if so, does
that mean he can sign anytime?
cheers

my understanding is that he's not contracted to anyone else,
therefore he can sign (hope I'm right, because the lad is clearly
up for it)
Actually it was the clubs insurance company that put the brakes on
the deal.
Apparently he actually passed his medical but the company wouldn't agree to cover him until the swelling in his ankle went down. That was a couple of weeks ago and haven't heard anything since.
But as he is not signed to a club (therefore not a transfer) he can still sign with Sunderland even though the window is closed.

oh. good point about it not being a transfer.. still hope then. :)
Spoke to his Dad, it is all still on but just has to wait until he
is fully fit. Should happen soon!
I was doing a little research.

Looks like he has signed for a month to get through the transfer window. Hopefully sign next week.

I guess if the medical staff are talking surgery options they must be real keen in him.

this is great news. thanks for tracking down the info- it had gone
all too quiet for a bit.
Lucky bastard. Jst shows shave ur head and look like a phsyco and
hack people and u can make premiership sides. Awshome mattte.
Hes been officailly signed heard it on 3 news.
Hopefully he will play fairly regularly and not just warm the bench
or represent the reserves.

Sunderland have spent 6 million quid on their new central
defensive partnership of Paul McShane and Danny Higginbotham,
that's on top of the million quid signing of Aberdeen captain
Russell Anderson, and the presence of last year's player of the
season Nyron Nosworthy... I suspect that young Pelter will be
playing a lot of reserve team football this season (Sunderland have
been known to get over 30000 at reserve games in the past!), or
going out on loan to a league side (perhaps Leeds or Charlton who
have both been after him according to Wiki).
What can you tell me about the lad anyway? My knowledge
of New Zealand players isn't quite on a par with my
English/Brasilian?
i'm gunna assume that Keane will be keen 
to keep him in the club setup

Just had a read of the Sky Sports website and they have confirmed
the same. But they have a nice picture attached.
Veitch did an interview on radio sport with Jack at 7.40 this
morning.
Morning all,
On the back of the news that Pelter has signed for longer terms. Here is a article from the Sunderland AFC Fanzine, A-Love-Supreme. Enjoy.

Pelter got a run in the reserves over night. Got subbed on at
the 67th mintue mark against Man City Reserves.

The SAFC website has a interview with Jack Pelter. On the
page there is also a link to the SAFC TV. But I am unable to
post that.
