As it should. It's nice having two sexy cars but if somebody offered you more than market value for one of them you'd have to sell it. In the end, you can only drive one.

If Wellbeck has a long-term injury then surely they'll pull the plug on this deal, for better or worse?

Wait, guys, I get it now. This is all part of the plan to bring the one and only England's Michael Owen to Sunderland.

If Ashley pulled cash out of his own pocket to match that bid right here and now, a lot of things would be forgiven.

We're 7 points off the zone but we're also 9 teams away from the zone. That means we have to basically have form that's 7 points or more worse than basically the entire bottom half of the table right now.

If we had the money I'd shell out about 10m for Agbonlahor.

Injured. Thought it was a big blow but his replacement has scored all three of our three goals, so I guess it turned out okay.

Stupid useless Saudis

None in none out would really, honestly be an acceptable conclusion to this transfer window assuming that our goal for the season is to avoid relegation.

This is a brilliant signing for Villa. When you're sinking like a rock and you have one opportunity to spunk a huge wad of cash on a single player who would come save you from relegation, that man is Darren Bent every single time. Don't see how it makes any sense for Sunderland though. What was that about their board having more ambition than ours?

He's lucky to be in the Everton job ffs. We're underperforming massively. http://thedogatemycareplan.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/pretty_please.jpg Swap? Pretty please?

Alan Smith? http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20070206120652/uncyclopedia/images/5/5d/058.jpg

Just look back to tonight before you're about to vote for Mike/Baba/Towelie/Kaiz as best foreign poster next December

Obviously they're a much better team. Particularly the quality of their midfield is so much higher it's not even funny. No match is hopeless though and I'll got into this with the feeling that we could get something. Miss the good 'ol days when we used to beat them 3~4 goals to whatever every single damn time

We're probably witnessing what Rooney would have been like from the start if he signed for Newcastle.

He was our best option in central midfield for most of our relegation season. I don't know if that means he's regressed or that Alan Smith and Nicky Butt were just that bad.

I agree. We are good enough to do whatever they do - better. Think we'll both sink down to our proper position at lower mid table soon enough. Bolton are still leading candidates to nick that "last" (depending on cup winners) European spots, especially once the Asian Cup ends.

Immigrants generally leave their countries to escape poverty and sadness, not find it.

Whenever I watch Spurs all I can think of is that I would kill for any one of their midfielders.

Maybe she did it. Wouldn't put it behind that odious gossip columnist.

In some ways it's frustrating more than exciting because despite all of Ashley's efforts to the contrary, we're somehow in a position where we could make a very realistic push for Europe if someone just knocked on wood and decided to take the risk and spend about 30 million in the market. We're not in a financial position to do that though.

Who was that guy who said he hated Hughton because he made boring interviews? Probably wanking himself at this moment.

Bring back as a scout? Not even just a "retrospective bargain" tbh, he brought us up and is keeping us here. He's arguably our best signing since... since... I don't even know who.
