Nicolas Medina.

 

Quick search on Wiki shows he played 7 minutes for Argentina in a World Cup Qualifier a couple of years after leaving. :lol:

 

Also:

 

Medina briefly courted controversy early in his Sunderland career, after being quoted in an Argentine newspaper that he was planning to live in Newcastle (home to Newcastle United, Sunderland's fiercest rivals) rather than in the City of Sunderland.

 

Funky cold

Phillips was good for one season!

 

Yep, the old long ball to Quinn and knock downs to Phillip's was figured out in the second season. As long as anyone could get in the way of that then the supply was halted for Phillips.

Phillips was an excellent finisher in his time there but was helped massively by having Quinn alongside him. Their tactics were basically lump it up to Quinn, knock down to Phillips, strike at goal. Fair play to them because it actually worked really well and they scored an unbelievable amount of goals playing that way. His all round game wasn't particularly good though. A million miles away from the likes of Shearer and Ferdinand who we had here.

I thought Sessegnon looked good for them for a short while.  Can't remember if Welbeck was good for them or not

 

Only remember that one game v Chelsea A when they won 3-0 when Welbeck, Gyan and Bent were  canny

Would had taken Phillips as a backup for bellamy.  Thought him and shearer could had been a decent partnership.

Love how it says Newcastle were fortunate they had the likes of Sissoko and Cabella, etc., from a financial point of view. There's nowt fortunate about it. We've simply ran our business better. (Enjoy that sentence as it's probably the only time I'll say it... :lol:)

Kirchoff is out of contract? That's hilarious considering how they were waxing lyrical about him at the start of the season  :lol:

 

Played really well towards the end of last season

 

No point keeping him to be fit 10 games a season to be fair

It really could go horribly wrong there like. I know they'll still be attractive to good Championship players like we were, but like that article says, it's not like they're going to get in about £70-80m in the summer to pay for those. Heart bleeds for them.
