    News now sunderland is a great agrigator for safc news. Multiple sources for the deal being pulled.

    True clubs don't give commentary of deals they just do them. Bizarre what's happening to date.

    every single source of "news" has taken it from the Daily Mail article.

    not saying the Daily Mail article is wrong, and its not surprising that not many of the main outlets are reporting on it as it seems that we really are keeping cards close to chest nowadays. Can only assume Gallacher's side leaked this to the DM rather than us.

    My post that you responded to was nothing like writing them off though. Irrespective of the window still being open, I will repeat people can only comment on what we have done so far, because those are the guarantees. Will there be more coming in, probably, do we know the quality of course we don’t. Of course it’s a bigger picture and long term, but the short term is to get out of this league. Do you know what’s worse mate? The fact that I am losing the passion that I have had for 50 years, now that may not be of a concern to you, but will be to the people who know what I am like with regards Sunderland AFC. I can’t help that, it’s not something I am doing deliberately, it’s just not there but hopefully it will return when the club starts repaying our faith.

    Lots of people have judged it, you must not have read a lot of the comments, even on this site, Max Power is now a midfield powerhouse, Charlie Wyke is now a 30 goal every season striker, we should be terrified

    I am actually one of these jonahs, you know when you say something, the opposite happens. I even mentioned it previously, I’m secretly hoping the club show me up for being a right ****ing dick

    Nit all are quoting dm so nit striktely true. Other media outlets also have their own sources and as you say no one has said dm are wrong. I can agree that speakman shouldn't be giving regular updates (someone from club should comment on the dm story on this occasion though and guessing that'll be lj tomorrow post game). Time for Action not words from the recruitment team.

    It's a transfer window, they're always bizarre.

    Could you imagine the responses to some of those posts? Its bad enough now when no-one really knows whats happening behind the scenes but if they posted about a bid being turned down, they might as well just deactivate the account straight away!

    Cant say I've read every comment , but we should never be going into the final pre season game with some positions having zero players available.
    If Donald was Still in charge there would be hell on over this

    I've seen a few people say this. As far as I can see, there is already.

    Successful ones aren't generally. Remember that we have had those. Even if they were in distant past. Mic mac reid and big Sam all had good ones. This one won't be judges yet but we're currently weaker than last year where we finished 4th in arguably a more competitive league. Lots to do

    The thing is, I’ve said I’m losing the passion but go on like this. I’m a bit confused I haven’t lost the passion but am losing the will to go and watch ****e. It’s a chore
    My passion is still there, hence my current disappointment in the apparent shambles

    I remember the reaction to that ....

    .... mostly 'who' 'wtf'' 'never heard of him' 'we're doomed'.

    I feel the same but it can turn around so quickly and the fact were as worried as we are is a good sign that we still care. I want to be proven wrong, wake up in the morning to 5 quality signings in the positions we need. The more days that go by the worse the mood gets though. If we get the players imagine the atmosphere against wigan though!

    Not by most. Kirchoff got grief due to the spurs game but the players were generally welcomed with open arms. Unlike when they left
