Manchester City midfielder Jack Rodwell is currently at Sunderland's training ground with a move from the Etihad Stadium to Wearside moving a significant step closer.
Sky sports showed him arriving at the ground.
Reckons its 10 million and a 5 year deal
So permanent rather than a loan...
10m sounds about right, the website transfermarkt has his market valued at 10.5m

Sunderland are also after German player Christian Fuchs
That will be a good day for headlines
FUCHS OFF TO SUNDERLAND
Could you imagine if Rod Fanni also signed
FUCHS FANNI AT SUNDERLAND
Would love to hear the commentary "Fanni is being poked and prodded by the attack"
I am too easy amused

Aye, ahem...

Can you remember a player for Newcastle called Brian Pinas, don't think he played a first team game, but would love to hear Motson say
Here's Pinas penetrating deep in the hole
Here's Pinas getting stuck into Fanni
Pinas, taking [insert name here] from behind

Aye, I can.
Played a few pre-season games and vanished.
Was just thinking about him yesterday, watching Roland Arrons play.
I wonder whether Stefan Kuntz would have been able to play in the hole?

There is some great names in football
Rafael Scheidt
Danny Shittu
Danny Invincible (although I am told his surname is actually pronounced In-vin-chee-bla)
Ice Cream (a nickname rather than his name)
Norman Conquest
Nortie Nortei
Segar Bastard
Julian Dicks
Stefan Kuntz...I'm sure a commentator once said "Germany are playing like there's 11 Kuntz' on the pitch"
(04 Aug 2014, 12:27 pm)marxistafozzski wrote [ -> ]I am unsure about Borini, people go on about the fee and I am now of the agreement that 14m is a bit too much for a player who did not hit double figures in the league last season
This is how I feel Borini's fee should be rated.
Imagine that he signed for Sunderland last season instead of being on loan from Liverpool.
Now imagine that another (bigger) club wish to sign him from Sunderland.
Now, ask yourself the following questions, would he command a £14m transfer fee based on his performance last season?
Or, if you're a Sunderland fan, would you gladly offload him for £14m because you think the offer is too good to refuse (a la Andy Carroll)?

I haven't seen Rolando Aarons in action yet, but someone on my Facebook feed described him as a 'black Scott Sellars'.
I don't see any physical resemblance so I assume the person must have been referring to his style of play.
I remember Sellars being a decent player.

Definitely no physical resemblance and to be honest, apart from being able to ping a cross in with his left boot, I didn't think there was much of a playing resemblance either with Scott Sellars either.
Since this is for the 2014/2015 season... i shall post all for the NE teams here from now on!

No idea whether to stick it in the football thread or this one - but have plumped for this one.
http://m.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/28797071
Pulis has left Palace.
Heard something mentioned on Total Sport earlier.
Not the highest fan of Pulis, but he did a great job keeping Palace up and unless someone can get going in the role soon, I fear for the Premiership status of the club.
On another note, one of his coaches was Gerry Francis - if anyone can confirm if he still has his mullet, it would be appreciated.
Suprised hes left, shame about the fall out with the chairman, he did well to keep palace up last year... have a feeling they will struggle now

I think this is quite a recent shot of Ol' Gerald
Certainly looked like they were milking...For years seen as the English disease, this is the mad Cow disease...my jokes are not really funny tbf [SMILING FACE WITH OPEN MOUTH AND TIGHTLY-CLOSED EYES]
I bet this has never been done before
Mark Oxley scoring on his debut for Hibernian...Nothing unusual about scoring on your debut, I hear you say, this kid is the goalie, I know the keeper scores sometimes, but in his 1st game, has to be a 1st

The phrase could not hit water if he fell off a boat and couldn't hit a cows arse with a banjo springs to mind, I rate big Jozy over Graham and that's saying something as he is as reliable as a politicians promises
Good start to the Day, Celtic are Winning 3-0 against Dundee United, and Swansea are Winning 1-0 against Manchester United, and a Bird took a Shit in Ashley Young's Mouth, Not sure if he spit or swallowed though.
