    Apparantly Brucie is looking at bringing in a left winger in January.

    Quote from Bruce " We know what we want - we haven't got a natural wide left player, so lets see if we can go and get A REAL PROPER ONE"
    He also goes on to say, "We've got 1 or 2 things up our sleeve and need a bit of sparkle".
    Putting 2 and 2 together ???

    To be fair, AJ is getting a decent run of games at Citeh, and they are going places. I reckon he'll want to stay as long as possible.

    will all depend on how much money we have.

    Adam Johnson would be a brilliant signing even if its just onloan till the end of the season but I think there will be bigger clubs than us after the lad he is class.

    As for other left wingers I cannot realy think of many, in the premier league anyways

    As for decent ones around the world who would be realistic and improvements on the squad I can only realy think of...

    A while back I might have said it would happen, but now? No way.

    He's starting to get a decent number of games (43 last season and 8 this season in total), so with huge wages, AND regular football, AND Champions League football, AND a super-rich club with no need to sell, it's looking highly unlikely to me.

    His family, but not himself.

    Lots of family, but doesn't mention himself.

    Friends at school, but doesn't mention himself.

    All he mentions is that he has a "soft spot", and he mentioned it whilst on the topic of an up and coming game against Sunderland.

    As for the dross served up by the Mirror, they probably looked at where he was born and assumed he was a mackem.

    This is all I'm going off. Nice and direct quote:

    &#8220;I was at Newcastle when I was a kid from 10-12 before I went to Middlesbrough.&#8221;"So I grew up supporting Newcastle and David Ginola and players like that. &#8221;

    By virtue of being on Newcastles books perhaps Chappaz.

    Maybe he is showing a modicom of professionalism, which is rare amongst those with firm loyalties north of the Tyne.

    Like I said, you can read snippets from players from many sources and come to different outcomes.

    One thing that isn&#8217;t debatable is that ALL his family are Sunderland fans (season ticket holders) and there is absolutely no mention of ANY of them being Newcastle fans, therefore, is it not acceptable to say that he will at the very least be a Sunderland leaning person over Newcastle?

    He went there (Newcastle) as a youth player, so probably has fond memories of his time there but as for supporting them, I wouldn&#8217;t think so with his family background. He will have had 13 or 14 years of Sunderland family members influence, long before he went to the other side as an apprentice.

    It suggests he may be looking for young, skilled talent which is consistent with some of the recent transfer rumours.

    As for Johnson? **** yes!

    Strange that you could take a quote FROM THE PLAYER HIMSELF, stating he grew up supporting Newcastle, to think he supports Sunderland?

    Yet, THE PLAYER HIMSELF disagrees. From an interview with a National Newspaper:
    What more does the kid have to do to prove his innocence?

    Cest.....I'll give you a hint...HE SUPPORTS NEWCASTLE

    The fact that he was at Newcastle has a major part in his quotes. Maybe out of respect for his former club...
