Would love it if Sunderland's negotiating backfires and Liverpool pull the plug. Once the deal went past £12m it became too good to turn down.....they're just taking the absolute piss now.
Werder Bremen bought Wesley > We got Ben Arfa
PSG buy Forlan > We buy Gameiro??
As an aside, I wish English newspapers read like translated French ones do

Just had a chat with Gervinho's agent. Cagey fella.More in tomorrow's Journal but suffice to say,he hasn't agreed to go anywhere yet #nufc
Normal players would leave if a bid was accepted, but Joey's a bit different isn't he? If theres anybody that will refuse to leave, despite the club, it's Joey Barton. Hopefully.
I'll save my words and my little love explosion for when he finally goes, but I will say this: the history of this great club will now be split into two eras - BAS (Before Alan Smith) and AAS (After Alan Smith). Just like the bible. Just like BC and AD.
Just noticed....
.....I know they're just opinions, but I believe Caulkin and Douglas more than other journalists. They suggest Enrique might be staying and Gervinho won't sign for us.
We should all come up with an NUFC drinking game tbh. Drinks for every time Simpson backs off, every time Tiote gets booked, every free kick won by Jonas and a special bonus for if Nolan throws up on the pitch again.
£3.5m
Exactly. Sunderland are so, so lucky to get anywhere near that much. A bit annoyed tbh, they could do a lot with that money.....N'Zogbia perhaps?
Works for the Mirror. I know we've spent nothing, but he's saying he's heard no rumours. How is that possible? Even if none of the deals happen, we're at least trying to flash the cash.

Funny that we haven't heard too much about where Newcastle are going to start spending that £35m Ashley promised Pardew yet
Has he been living in a hole?
My worry is that Zog will have a better option, with everything hinging on Ashley Young. If Villa sell him, they'll try replacing him with Zog and if they keep him, Liverpool will probably be there. We need to hurry up.
