Since I haven't said it yet I'll be the one to say we'll get a 'Here we go' today. I'm basing this off my sources in Switzerland hearing that there may have been footballers there.

Just ignoreThe report was posted in here, so I was responding to the report I had just read man
To be fair, it's football, so people get a bit carried away from all sides.
I had someone telling me the latest on Xhaka's transfer negotiations and asking why we hadn't been informed if there's been a new bid.
Fair enough but it's our club conducting what they'd like to be private negotiations, not 'Homes under the Hammer'
When I said sarcastically, that in stark reality, 'it's none of our business' people piled on to tell me they're entitled to know ...
... that's where the lines become a little blurred imo.
A few people, me included, said that 'supporters are allowed to discuss transfer fees?' I don't think anyone said we are entitled to know about discussions...
I have colleagues and work mates who still operate at Ponteland and at Samson Aviation who would never be in the loop for info. I even worked at Samson in their early days for the lad who set Samson up, Terry Law. Very,very few of these will have knowledge of just who is on a specific Aircraft flying in. maybe One or two but no more than that.
I'm not going to say why it was called Samson Aviation but Terry, he was also a member of Newcastle Flying Club who moved from Sunderland Flying Club when Nissan moved in rescuing "The Newcastle Flying Club" from closure. He was a well respected Bank manager at I think it was either Lloyds or TSB in Sunderland. A smashing lad. So unless it is specifically named on the manifest at the departure Airport, most of these private charter aircraft is speculation.

Another one Newcastle couldn’t get done…
To be honest I think half the fun of the transfer window is the wild speculation at least for me. Its mainly nonsense but if I didn't want that I'd just tune everything out until the window shuts.
I was being sarcastic, people can discuss anything they like.
My point was that, in reality, we're fed all kinds of nonsense from agents, clubs, media, etc but what Sunderland are doing is actually confidential.
Speculation is harmless until people start to actually stamp their feet and expect the club to do more ...
... which they sometimes do.
I couldn't agree more, it's all a bit of daft fun and speculation ...
... it's the difference between a panto and a serious play imo.
Not much happening but as we've seen before, we usually announce things out of the blue.
Does Emmerdale still have farms and tractors in it? Sugdens and Merricks? Just wondering.
Not much has been "announced" out of the blue but plenty has been suddenly and surprisingly significantly advanced. We could get a "HERE WE GO" at any moment
And that's the conundrum isn't it ...
... I bet the club are putting in 12 hour shifts

I can confirm I also suspect there is one or more footballer in Suisse.
