If only it was that easy eh? Can;t just say "You're fired" and tell the lad where to go - have to pay up his contract!!
It's OK - we sent them Colback as punishment for all of the ex-mag problems we've had - that pretty much evens it up doesn't it?
Apparently Inter Milan are going to have new owners -Chinese consortium as Berlusconi is off loading them. So maybe there is a general uncertainty and a temporary lack of focus on the ground there with this change
Sunderland's transfer activity is beginning to gather pace, with Davide Santon closing in on a move, while target Diafra Sakho has handed in a transfer request at West Ham Ex-Newcastle United full-back Santon is expected to arrive in the North East today after Sunderland agreed a fee of around £3million with Inter Milan for the 25-year-old. Santon has spent the past 18 months back at boyhood club Inter after leaving Newcastle, but was limited to a bit-part role with the Serie A side last season. The Italian will immediately boost Sunderland's thread-bare full-back options, where Sam Allardyce has been eager to land a new right-back. Sunderland's hopes of landing West Ham striker Sakho have also received a boost after the 26-year-old submitted a transfer request. Sakho is understood to have become impatient at West Ham's determination to sign a new frontman, before they sanction his departure. Sunderland saw a bid rejected for Sakho earlier in the window, with West Ham looking to recoup around £15m for the Senegal international. Allardyce needs to bring in a new striker after the departures of Dame N'Doye, Danny Graham and Steven Fletcher, with the latter discussing his Bosman move to Championship Sheffield Wednesday. Fletcher said: “I watched the team a few times last year and they like to get the ball down and play which suits my game. It has been good so far.

How the fiick does the Croydon Advertiser know how much SAFC have offered Santon to play here "CRYSTAL Palace look set to miss out on the signing of Inter Milan's Davide Santon, with the defender reportedly close to joining the Eagles' Premier League rivals Sunderland. Palace and Sunderland have both been heavily linked with a move for the former Newcastle defender in recent weeks, with Eagles boss Alan Pardew said to be keen on reuniting with the defender, having worked with him on Tyneside. But reports in Italy suggest that while both clubs are willing to match the £3m valuation of the defender, Sunderland have offered a higher salary."

Trying to save face because he's picking another club over there's. I dare bet is he doesn't want to play for Pardew.
Is he aware of the fact that we don't sign good right backs Chris Makin remains the only good one I've seen, and I'm 42 years old
According to SSN he's on his way to Sunderland to discuss personal terms and if agreed then have a medical. Presumably wages are part of personal terms.
