Pardew's ego can't contain itself on deadline day and Palace swoop with a £40M bid for the French Left Back.

Good mentor to improve Mitro's game and gives us depth in a key area. Good signing. We have plenty of pace in attack but lacked strength and power.

Did he even touch the ball? Nope He had a few touches near the touchline. Did he look good whilst touching it?

Some really class passing moments yesterday. Quick precise passing with players moving off the ball. Thought Anita was absolutely superb at RB and so far this season deserves that position as his own.

Can just imagine Pards being all smug thinking he will get accepted with a £7M bid late on transfer deadline day.

Starting todays game with 2 main strikers missing through injury. We sign a striker and people get pissed off

Don't think he will be our main target in terms of strikers but if we can't get no one else why not go for him? Would rather see him in our starting 11 than having to rely on Armstrong to produce the goods.

Never understood the hate for true geordie. Some of his Pardew /McClaren rants were spot on. Has he ever been a member on here?

Doing that video in Ireland gave him a boatload of luck I see.

Except when he comes back injured and is out for 4 months Like him a lot, impressive signing.

We're at home? Nice,thought this was an away fixture for us for some reason. Think we'll win but wouldn't be too unhappy with a draw tbh.

Has he ever been our man of the match? Can't think of a single game when he played so well he stood out more than any other player.

Moussa seeing everyone leave while he stays

Is that the "World class striker" their chairman was on about?

You can't blame them for organizing planes with banners etc taking the p*ss out of us. It must be incredibly sombre to support a club like Sunderland,they thought they were in for some fun times under Moyes but even he is saying about a relegation battle after 2 games The only fun/happiness they get is having a joke on our behalf. Gonna be epic reading on RTG though when we go up and they come down.

Rafa won't sell unless he has someone lined up as a direct replacement. I disagree, Anita will be first choice if Janmaat leaves Maybe,but I mean Rafa wouldn't leave us short in that position I doubt,even if he plays Anita there and signs a RB as back up. Got no issue with Anita playing there really,he's no good at RM and not impressed with him at CM/DM so maybe RB is his best position.

Rafa won't sell unless he has someone lined up as a direct replacement.

Will be absolutely perfect if Benteke flops.

Hoilett still on a free isn't he? Would take him on a 1 year contract.

Thought he was a fantastic signing when he joined but he hasn't improved us in any way. Would much prefer a more reliable RB. Think he would be outstanding as a Right full back in a 3-5-2 however.

Stuck the free bet on Aguero fgs

Wanted to lump mine on Ibra but decided to back/lay it and punt the free bet instead. Nothing lost nothing gained etc.

He's still running on about us

Haven't been impressed with Janmaat since he joined us. Far too attacking minded and can't really back that up with any quality,at least not consistently. He's not great at defending and his attitude certainly isn't that of a leader. Considering his age and experience he really should be much better. Would like to see Gamez get a good run at RB and see how well he does.
