Transfer Rumours Summer Transfer window

Good player, giving half the summer budget to Chelski though

 

That sounds oh so painful.

 

Yeah like the look of this lad, wonder what the fee is?

Could and hopefully will have 2 relegations on his CV

 

Although it was a geordie that scored the winner in our first game back in the prem last time

 

Half our support are Geordies probably. But that's for another thread

 

Dibling to Everton - Second bid rejected but has now been given permission to speak to Everton

Likely that this gets done

 

Probably a lot less than half I reckon, as far as I'm aware the only place north of the Tyne with any significant numbers is Ashington, so you're looking at south Tyneside towns like South Shields, Jarrow, Hebburn etc and they're probably more Newcastle than Sunderland these days, you can find Sunderland supporters within all the towns within the modern County Durham borders (non tyne and wear) such as Durham, Chester-le-Street, Lanchester, Bishop, Crook, Spennymoor, Newton Aycliffe and so on.

 

I think he’ll be a quality signing. He shone in the premier league for Southampton.

 

i'm bored now i want a new deal reported for us

 

Kurt zouma would be decent imo, think he’s on a free as well

 

not a cat in hell's chance

 

Kurt Zouma signs deal to become Black Cat.

I want Dibling at Sunderland but

Everton have had a second offer for Southampton midfielder Tyler Dibbling rejected.

This offer is believed to be worth £35 million with £8 million in add-on

But think we could get better at that price

 

Marc Guiu is apparently on 50k a week, so I don't think he's coming here to just sit on the bench.

 

No matter what anyone says straight loans usually have assurances

 

I don’t think the South Tyneside towns are far from 50/50. There’s not much in it at all.

Agree half our support won’t be Geordies, I’d probably say about 20%. Likewise, folk from areas like Peterlee and Easington are Mackems to me and there’s enough of them support Newcastle.

Interesting debate though, I remember on here people claiming that we (Geordies) aren’t as close to the club or proper supporters as those from Sunderland. You could say the Sunderland people don’t have the same passion for the derby that we do. We live and breathe it every day, every street is half Sunderland and Newcastle, same for the schools we attend and the pubs we drink in.

They’re two different cities miles apart from each other. Same for the people that live in Newcastle and North Tyneside supporting them lot. It must be like a little bubble they live in and don’t have to face their rivals when things go tits up.

Saying that, I live in Durham now and there’s definitely more Newcastle where I live. I wish we could drop the whole Mackem = Sunderland supporter. Geordie = Newcastle supporter. There’s no truth in it. It needs to be separated from football.
