It puts real life into perspective when I agree with someone in thinking £4,000,000 is a small amount of money.... I reckon I could handle being skint on £3,999,999 myself!
Sky Sports reports that French international Aly Cissokho is close to a move to the Stadium of Light. Sunderland look favourites to land the left full-back on loan however, due to the Valencia’s financial issues, the club are keen to sell him on permanently. The deal is officially far from done as Sky sources have reported that only personal terms have been agreed, and the two clubs still have not reached an agreement. Rumours have spread, for most of the summer, that the defender is likely to be heading to England, and it seems that it’s Sunderland who have made the first keys steps, to signing the player. Black Cats boss Paolo Di Canio has been searching all summer for a qualified left-back and the Italian is now ready to accommodate the sprightly 25-year-old in his squad. While Liverpool had been linked with a move for the defender, it appears they have lost interest and are now looking at the possibility of bringing Guilherme Siqueira to Anfield. Turkish side Besiktas have also announced their interest in acquiring Cissokho. Sunderland welcome Fulham to the Stadium of Light for the club’s first Premier League fixture of the new season on Saturday, where the versatile Jack Colback could be asked to fill in at left-back with last season’s first choice Danny Rose now back at his contracted club Tottenham Hotspur.

2 minutes ago Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is ready to let wing back Carl Jenkinson out on loan this season. The 21-year-old has made great strides since making his debut for the Gunners in 2011 and has made 23 appearances for the first team. Now, however, the Emirates boss believes he is ready for the next stage of his development and like Jack Wilshire and Kieran Gibbs before him, that could involve a loan spell. Sunderland boss Paolo Di Canio is keen to give the defender an opportunity to continue his education at the Stadium of Light but Wenger will insist the player fills a first team berth whenever fit. Meanwhile defender Johan Djorou - having joined Hamburg on a season long loan - has made it clear to Wenger that he's keen to rejoin at the end of the season despite the German club being offered a first option to make the deal permanent.
I like Jenkinson, he improved a lot towards the back end of last season. Always thought he was more a right back though?
