How is it players don't want to come to Sunderland but go to Newcastle and hull, not miles apart so can't be the weather, our club just do not want to pay premier league wages, poyet said players don't want to come because its colder and they want to be in London, well Dawson has just left London for hull for gods sake shape up Sunderland or we will be back to being a championship team if you want to be in premiership spend premiership money, the fans do.

{Ed024's Note - Dawson ? Not the greatest example - neither Sunderland nor Newcastle wanted him. With the possible exception of Huddleston cant think of any players in the last couple of seasons that chose Hull or Newcastle over Sunderland. Geography is certainly a problem for all three clubs but wages, length of contract etc all come into the players decision making as well.}

I am just sick of the lack of activity we have had in this transfer window, we needed players in more than any other time and when we need them the most we don't buy, same old sunderland always linked with someone but never actually happens same old bull**** different day, just got to wait and see but can't see much happening now, get our 14 million back of Borini cause he is just taking the piss now

The time to panic (or not) is next Tuesday morning. Being linked with a player in the newspapers or Sky's"our sources tell us" doesn't mean it's true.

Robbie Keane and N'Zogbia have been nailed on signings for the past ten years
