Sunderland chairman Niall Quinn is looking forward to seeing some of the club's current stars flourish this season.
The Stadium of Light club have been linked with a whole range of big names as new manager Steve Bruce looks to put a squad together.
But with business currently slow, Quinn wants to see some of the players already on the Black Cats' books start to show their true value.
Quinn told the club's official website: "When Anton Ferdinand matures, he has got the opportunity to become an international footballer for England. Kieran Richardson can have a brilliant career if he steps up that maturity level.
"It doesn't happen because you talk to them, it happens because they see it around them. There are a couple of others who can go a lot further than they have done, and that's what our task is this year.
"If Andy [Reid] can get back into the Ireland team, if Anton and Kieran get international caps, then nobody will be happier than me."

downy......well tell your fellow inbreeds to stop posting shyte on our pages!
hawkmeister you spelled ha ha wrong . . . ha ha
Glad Quinney's happy with "the current stock" cos we're not, 5th off bottom is hardly a basis for confidence in the current squad. Run out against Celtic should show us where we're at,they'd be around mid table in our league.
Championship

Oh I forgot to add:
"I've had enough of your yibba yabba.........."
It's Jibber Jabber, just thought you would like to know.
Melvin. ". But you. miniscule status nobody's. You'll be telling us that you'll be in the Champions League next. Shut up fool. I've had enough of your yibba yabba.........."
Miniscule status nobodies in the upper tier of the best league in the world? Stop being petty. I have also not once said that we will be in the champions league next season, stop making things up as an argument and talk real. All I am saying is it is very hypocritical doing what you do - Coming onto your rival teams articles and saying how @#$% and small the club is when your own club is in a lot worse position. A LOT worse position.
I think Cameron is lost and can't find his way back.someone tell him how to get back to the championship page.
Ananda Krishnan.. 7.5 billion I'm reading now. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA STADIUM OF LIGHT HA HA HA HA HA HA HA MICK MCARTHY 15 POINTS HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
adam.oxberry.... i can handle it. We need to clean up our act, and to be honest, I've had enough of top town tart premiership cheats, diving, and feigning injury, and bought and paid for referees giving your Man u's and Liverpools penalties and free kicks when they should be giving the likes of w @nker Ronaldo their marching orders. Don't get me wrong tho. I want NUFC to get back up there straight away, but I can handle a season in the championship if it means the club can recover from the miss management of Shepherd and Ashley. But you. miniscule status nobody's. You'll be telling us that you'll be in the Champions League next. Shut up fool. I've had enough of your yibba yabba..........
Stop living in the past melvin. At the end of the day Sunderland are in the top flight and Newcastle are in the championship. Sunderland will be playing against the likes of Manchester United and Liverpool whilst Newcastle will be playing Doncaster and Scunthorpe.
weavster.... Neither do you chump. It's a pretence. You're here only by the skin of your teeth. We'll be asking you for directions to away grounds next season because they will be fresh in your minds. Mick Mcarthy - 15 points - huge chips on your shoulders - plagiarised stadium name............ And the beat goes on !
geordies you dont belong on prem paged . go talk to blackpool fans c ya
Hello chumps. Word on the grapevine is that it could well be Ananda Krishnan who will be taking control of your illustrious counterparts in the fine city of Newcastle upon Tyne. Two southerners craquing on " just where is this Sunderland then"? " Don't you know? It's near to Newcastle. Nice city Newcastle. Great night out." Anyway. Ananda Krishnan is meant to be worth about 4.5 Billion quid. So what do you make of that? Have a nice day y'all
All this clicking from Premiership to championship sites is very tiring lads isn't it,you lot gonna try and remedy the situation this season? you got a manager yet? Anton for England !!!
Usual Cameron w and Tony K on all the Sunderland articles. Grow up lads.
"When Anton Ferdinand matures, he has got the opportunity to become an international footballer for England.
