I don't know why anyone is surprised. Say for instance Giaccherini's contract ran out, Sunderland and Newcastle put offers on the table, where would he go if they offered the same money? Newcastle. The fact Jack is a life long fan, Sunderland were never even in the running. The same would happen with their other toon fan Johnson. Now they are officially confirmed as a feeder club, I'd tap up Wickham who is out of contract next season.
The bitterness won't really be complete until a mackem claims (off the back of the Mirror
) he never really wanted to join and we tried to sell him for 5m.
