oooh I thought Diakite was another AFCON player

In that case bring me both Diakite and Lucumi please.

I think I'd prefer both of those to Xhaka.

Played for France at youth and Olympic level but yet to make a senior international appearance

Oh also, Sadiki can play at RB too, that was his original position when he came through

Yeah I think we spoke about that when he signed, he CAN play LB and RB but I don't think he should or really could in the premier league. Suppose it could come in handy as a last resort though,

good versatility for perhaps final 10 mins of games etc, rather than relying on him starting there.

Yeh spot on he's almost the arbiter of truth for us now.

I don't think anybody is suggesting there's no truth in us having interest in Xhaka - that's pretty clearly true. I think what us pessimists are saying is its unlikely that interest / offer will be reciprocated.

That's why I'm keen to see a journo say he wants to come to us or equivalent.

But until somebody shuts it down its all gravy. And Sacha had the chance to do so this morning and didn't.

Whisper it quietly but I like Keith Downie. The guy has a thankless task reporting on passionate north east clubs, neither of whom react too kindly to bad news.

He didn't report on us because Sky only care about the premier league, not really his fault.

I'm much more annoyed at the outlets that still aren't really reporting on us despite being a premier league club now. The Athletic for example are just following others and reporting stuff that's already been reported, then not writing any sort of story or comment on it. Theyve just become an aggregator for Sunderland, whereas other clubs get stories and opinion pieces.

I know him, he's a good guy. The stick he gets is embarrassing - he's just doing his job. Don't take things so personally.
