    Delighted.
    £9 mil for Connor, £9.75 mil for Fabio. Yup I'll take that. Think the bindippers still owe us money for the Mig plus Hendo so possibly just covering his wages.

    It really doesn't look bad at all does it?

    Really could do with 2 wing backs and a CB, but I think we are dreaming on that, I think maybe and extra CB will arrive.

    Every player in that side has international caps, and 10 of the 11 for highly ranked nations, are things so bad? Na. I'm happy with this deal, I think the same determination that made Fabio stay and fight at Liverpool might see him bust his balls here to edge back up. We can only benefit.

    Borini, Lens n Defoe. All just swapping places, moving to the wings or the centre. Gonna cause havoc.
    Toivy and Mvila threading balls thru to players with pace (PACE in a Sunderland team).
    Get the defence sorted and IMO it's now been a very good transfer window.

    Got to say he does here, on the earlier video he looked utterly miserable. I hope he has the hunger inside him still

    That's it, I think all the memories he's given us and could never begin to hate him.

    Yup got to say I think the squad up front and midfield is stronger than ever just need a couple defenders and we have a good unit

    It shows something else too, we are not skint, Short will spend the money but only when the right player is available.

    I will eat humble pie on that because I was one of the people that thought we were not going to spend anymore money this window.

    I'll never forget the feeling when this went in mate, was like being electrocuted. Turning to my left and seeing the carnage, people going crazy.

    We ****ing had them without Toure doing something magic...

    We are looking good going forward now, if we get any one of 3 positions covered at the back I'll be delighted.

    I think we could bring in another striker if we can get Fletch and DG out on loan for their last year. Would probably be a loan like but we could still do with a bit of muscle up top.

    Think we could be waiting on outgoings now. But what is essentially a 48 hour deadline day we could get some shifted.

    He's the closest thing to a hero we've had for ages! Yes there's work still to be done but this is a massive lift for me personally, forget the will he won't he stuff of last year and think of this beauty and him celebrating in front of the skunks......priceless!

    Could be that we are working on deals, this has happened very quickly as it happens, van Rhijn link still floating about, no CB links of any credit.

    Gonna be interesting tomorrow, see if owt comes up.

    Happy he's back. Defo an improvement. Can't give the lad grief for what happened last year. He was contracted to Liverpool, wanted to give it a go with them, and play cl football. A player with ambition, will never fault the lad for that. The media spun most of the ****e on here, and with the will he won't get threads, it got tiresome.

    I hope he puts his head down, and becomes a legend here. He will be loved by the fans if he goes 100% and focuses on safc. The mag slayer is back!! Now need a lb, Ramos, and Rb and we sorted. Goals this year shouldn't be as hard to come by!

    Does this mean we'll get accused of being Nazis again?
