1006 BST: Sunderland boss Steve Bruce hopes to push through his first summer signing over the weekend after agreeing a fee with Manchester United for Fraizer Campbell. (Press Association)

I'm just clinging to the fact that most things done under this "management" has been kept quiet. I mean Nolan, Xisco, Keegan, Shearer & Gutierrez all came out of nothing.

Someone told me the same thing - sold to a "Kuala Lumpur" man, Ched Evans at the club now and Michael Johnson coming on loan. All in a days takeover

GET IN ZE CHOPPER!!!

Is that a haiku?

Was his name Jimmy Bulldog Rock Hogan?

Anyone worth their salt would have gone with the Vialli DoF one tbh The Vialli DoF one was completely made up and said so in white text on the original post. Yes. I was being sarcastic.

I know this is surreal and sad but follow up on earlier thread .... Subject: Re: Krishnan keen? Posted by mikeyboy on 13:47 06/Jul/09 : Deal's done if my son's friend is to be believed (he is only 9!). Told my son that 'they' (the Malaysian consortium headed by personnel from Astro) were the highest bidders and he is getting free tickets lol. Astro BTW is the Malaysian equivalent of Sky - although here they have a monopoly on satellite broadcasting till around 2016 (not sure of exact date) How would the son have been able to tell his Dad already? School's not out for another hour (?) and I refuse to believe this 9 year old owns a mobile.

Who's got the Skirge guarding job today? Has anybody checked his pulse?

Also, why does Derek treat The Profitable group like Homer treats Millhouse? Are they really completely useless?

One day we'll be able to take things the club say at face value again. One day.

It's like been a constant attempt to piss on our positive thinking sicne we got relegated. Let's have a clear out: Players like Duff & Nolan wanting to stay, others on too big a wage to shift. No owners = no sale. Whey let's go to Blackpool for the weekend and get wasted: Game is on a Wednesday night. Well, at least Shearer's in charge: Not yet he isn't.. New owners? Nope not yet Some new, young, hungry players: .... Still, it'll never be as bad financially as it once was: Shepherd bids for club Get to play some new teams though, that'll be fun: Start away at WBA, then host Reading. FFS New away kit is always good news: Urgh.

Actually being fair without knowing Zhirkov had been discussed I can see why there would be confusion

eh? What don't you get about that? He thinks Zhirkov will play LW instead of Malouda, and when Ashley Cole is injured he will play left back.

Imagine if we'd signed him, I for one hadn't seen him for months. It'd have been like that Simpsons episode with the fake Michael Jackson. "That's not Michael Johnson, he's 300lbs ffs"

Mail on Sunday: IMMIGRANTS TAKE OVER TOON The Sun: PAGE 3 STUNNER IN TOON TALKS

Like a Malaysian Dr Evil

Never understood when the papers say that. Surely they can't offer a wage until an offer's been accepted, or it's tapping up? Or are they speaking hypothetically?

Has it been mentioned that MK Dons have re-appointed Ince? This summer's crazy

Real Madrid have clearly bid for all these players in Yen and fooled everyone

Forsyth and Dodd??

Positives: Shearer Only lose 2 or 3 days of pre-season (if date is accurate) The likes of Beye, Taylor will stay Cheap buying price = money to spend? Negatives: Fat mess Random other investors - might like Nicky Butt Butt probably guranteed to stay Months of Skjelbred patter from his fanclub on here

Friday = 2 Wednesday's from tomorrow. You know nothing ever happens quickly with us.

0-2, game over
