    'Danny in great shape and looking forward to the new season. Who'll be captain this season?'

    This is great to hear from a football agent ...

    ... if this is a general feeling, around football, it's a massive endorsement of Speakman, KLD and the club.

    “I don’t know what has gone on in the past at Sunderland but from our experience with them, all promises have been kept,” Adam Roberts told the Sunderland Echo. “Speaking to the club and to Kristjaan Speakman has been quality.

    “At the moment it all seems like it is a massive buzz. They are playing good football in front of huge attendances. You can’t complain, really, can you?”

    It echoes what Ian Harte said about Jack Clarke.

    A long way from being insulted publicly by Kaboul's agent.

    I’d be gutted if Roberts went.

    He won’t.

    A mate of mine is involved in that side of football. He said a while back we are gaining a reputation as ultra professional and good to deal with. It only improves our standing in the game.

    Woke up to a message from a friend who's in Newcastle for his son's graduation. He was out on the town and in a nice restaurant, met an old friend, who's in football, and had a bit of a drunken catch up.

    He's not a gossip, so wouldn't say a lot, but did mention that Batth is staying and the issue of who's captain has been discussed.

    I'd be happy for him to be captain ...

    .... Gooch, Evans, Pritchard won't play enough games.

    100%. Batth is a leader and a half on the park.

    I’d back that all day am every day.

    Good news on Baath, want to keep him here.

    Not surprised re Evans, I don’t think we would have actually extended the contract if he didn’t get injured - always assumed it was a bit of a goodwill gesture (similar to Willis).

    Pritchard & Gooch will have my best wishes if they do go - been absolute top professionals here (Gooch especially).

    Out of all those, i'd be happy for Batth to stay. With everyone fit he is the only one who would likely feature in our first 11

    Someone on RTG said we’ve had a bid accepted for Frigan, not sure how reliable the poster is though.

    It was all positive although it was a drunken message and little detail. But he's in lis late sixties and it's been a while since I've seen him this excited.

    I'd second that or sub O'Nien for Gooch ...

    ... only Mowbray knows who likely to play more games.
