I suppose Newcastle can at least say they didn't panic, they just didn't get anyone. Problem is, I'm not sure which is worse. Oh, sorry, they got Antoine Sibierski, but he was hardly the big name fans wanted, or the defender Glenn Roeder clearly needed.
But I'm not going to slag the Frenchman off here. He hasn't even kicked a ball for the club and he deserves as much support as any other United player. It isn't his fault he's not a defender or a proven Premiership goalscorer, so go Sibi go. Remember Owen Hargreaves?
As for Sunderland, well if we needed any evidence of Roy Keane's pulling power as a manager, how does five pretty decent looking signings in a day sound?
The Irishman will be delighted, although if he rang you up and asked if you wanted to come, would you say no?
"It's Roy Keane here. You're coming to play for Sunderland or I'll break your legs."
"Erm, okay, see you at the Stadium of Light in a couple of hours."
Mind you, I'd like to be a fly on the wall the first time Keano receives reports of Dwight Yorke out on the Quayside! The playboy prince and the new tyrant of Wearside, fantastic!
