Titus Bramble: Still has a lot to offer, says manager O'Neill

Sunderland manager Martin O'Neill believes defender Titus Bramble still has a lot to offer the Black Cats if he can stay injury-free.

The centre-back, who is in the final year of his contract on Wearside, impressed while deputising for Carlos Cuellar as the Spaniard recovered from a hamstring strain.

 

Cuellar replaced Bramble for the 3-0 defeat at Manchester City last week but O'Neill still has the 31-year-old in his plans, though hopes he can avoid picking up any more fitness problems.

He told the Sunderland Echo: "Titus' problems are always about staying fit.

"It is always a balancing act with Titus in training during the week - we have to get as much training into him without aggravating any injuries or risking swelling of the knees.

"It's a shame because you can see just how good he could have been had it not been for the injuries but he still has a lot to offer.

"He's bigger and stronger than he looks too. From a distance or on television you'd think he'd be 5ft 11ins but he's actually a big player and he won't get out-muscled by anyone."
