    Tried. You need to drag it over, and can't do it on this phone for some reason.

    Can you write a couple of sentences to summarise the article you're posting the link to?

    Otherwise it's just a link and in this day and age that's a bit risky.

    There are people who are trying it on to test us out and see if we’re desperate, and then they get a bit more serious. “We’re not in the game of pretending that we want to keep all of those players, but we are in the game of holding out for the best possible fee for Sunderland.”

    I like these new owners a lot.

    ‘Come and get them, but don’t take the piss’.

    If only we’d had this attitude for 5 years.

    No need to drag anything. It just does lay out with paragraths but it's better than nowt.

    Sunderland’s new owners outline transfer stance as midfielder mulls over move Pause Mute Loaded: 0%Progress: 0% -1:07 Fullscreen RICHARD MENNEAR Email Published: 06:30 Updated: 07:38 Friday 08 June 2018 Share this article Sign Up To Our Daily Newsletter Sign up 2 HAVE YOUR SAY Sunderland’s new owners will continue to hold out for the “best possible fee” for wantaway players, as Didier Ndong mulls over a £6.6million move to Torino. Sunderland have accepted Torino’s bid for the Gabon international, with the deal now subject to the midfielder agreeing personal terms. Didier Ndong. Should the deal go ahead without any complications, then Ndong will be followed out of the door by a number of players – though Sunderland will only sell for the right price. It comes as Sunderland’s summer revamp gathered pace with confirmation of the retained list and news that Marc Wilson, Billy Jones and Kazenga LuaLua have been released. Ndong is next in line to depart, with a number of high earners set to follow him, including the likes of Wahbi Khazri, Lamine Kone and Papy Djilobodji. Sunderland can’t afford their wages in League One. Formerly of Chelsea, Djilobodji’s wages, for example, have been quoted at €180,000 per month, which roughly equates to £40,000 per week. Sunderland executive director Charlie Methven has told the Echo that interest is high in several players, but they will only go for the right price. Methven said: “In terms of outgoings, there’s a lot of interest. “There are people who are trying it on to test us out and see if we’re desperate, and then they get a bit more serious. “We’re not in the game of pretending that we want to keep all of those players, but we are in the game of holding out for the best possible fee for Sunderland.” New manager Jack Ross continues to work hard on improving his squad, with the club working on multiple transfer deals. This will be a huge summer of rebuilding and key will be moving the huge earners on, with club record signing Ndong in line to depart to Torino. There was also strong interest in him from Premier League new boys Cardiff City. The 23-year-old midfielder spent the second half of last season on loan at Premier League Watford, but didn’t play a single minute for the Hornets. Ndong signed for Sunderland in 2016 for a club record fee of £13.6million from French side Lorient. He became a regular under David Moyes as Sunderland were relegated from the Premier League. Ndong made 22 Sunderland appearances in the first half of 2017-18 before being shipped out to Watford. Meanwhile, Ross has thanked John O’Shea for his contribution to Sunderland over the last seven years. O’Shea, out of contract this summer, has signed for Reading, as revealed by the Echo. Ross said: “Whilst I didn’t work directly with John, everyone at the club speaks so highly of him, both as a player and a man. “Coming from Manchester United, where he was schooled by Sir Alex (Ferguson), has clearly shaped him into the consummate professional, on and off the field. “The positive influence he had on this football club will be long remembered. “On behalf of everyone at Sunderland AFC, I wish John every success in whatever he chooses to do in the future and he will always remain a special part of the club.” Meanwhile, the make-up of Ross’ backroom team is expected to be confirmed soon. First-team coach Robbie Stockdale and goalkeeping coach Adrian Tucker left the club this week. Ross will be assisted by No 2 James Fowler, who joined him from St Mirren. Dunfermline coach John Potter, a former team-mate of Ross’s at St Mirren, has also been linked with a role at the Stadium of Light.

    I clicked on one of the promoted articles because I wanted to know who the girl who "had no idea why the crowd started cheering her on" was, about 30 clicks later I was none the wiser. Last time I went the distance with one of those single paragraph per page sites the picture from the thumbnail wasn't even in the article.

    Doesn't seem to no, I've never had one anyway. You get those uncloseable bullshit pop up things sometimes telling you that you've won some made up competition but that's about it.

    My very basic and almost certainly incorrect understanding is that phones certainly can get viruses but most people who make viruses just make them for windows operating systems as they are by far the most common. It's why Linux and to a lesser extent apple have far fewer virus issues, people go on about safety and how they are better built but most of the issue is that people who make viruses want them to hit as many people as possible so make them with Windows in mind.

    Probably wrong or out of date but that's what I read from a reputable source a few years back.

    I don't know how hard it is to create a virus but you'd think someone would have targeted Apple by now if it was just as easy as infecting a PC. Maybe they have but there's a massive difference in how common they are.

    Not like Apple is a small obscure company either.
