Sbragia expecting striker exit
Sunderland manager Ricky Sbragia is expecting Swedish flop Rade Prica to depart the North East club in the coming days.[LNB] The striker cost the Black Cats £2million from Aalborg in January 2008, but has made just six Premier League appearances - all from the substitutes' bench.[LNB]Sbragia has confirmed one bid from Scandinavia, which falls below the club's valuation of the player, has been tabled for the 28-year-old former Hansa Rostock man.[LNB]With Prica well down Sbragia's pecking order the Scot remains confident a deal will be finalised by early next week at the latest.[LNB]Enquiries"There have been two or three enquiries, but because it's their pre-season they've not pushed it on," he said.[LNB]"We've had an offer, but we feel we can get more for him. We would hope in the next three or four days something might happen and it will be solved."[LNB]Meanwhile, Sbragia has confirmed his squad will be taking a mini-break to the sunny climes of Spain for some warm weather training.[LNB]The Black Cats tactician feels escaping the 'boring' routine of turning up at the club's training ground will galvanise his squad.[LNB]Seville trip"We're going to go away to Seville for a few days and do a bit of training there, and hopefully get on track," he continued.[LNB]"We need to get away from the training ground. I think it's a bit boring coming to the same place all the time.[LNB]"You keep coming in and the weather is not great, sometimes you can't train because the conditions are poor.[LNB]"It was like that a couple of weeks ago when the snow was on the ground, so we thought we'd go away and give them a little break.[LNB]"We'll do a little bit of team bonding, which I feel is important."[LNB]
