I have heard from a reliable source that Charlie is on £60k a week plus a £15k appearance bonus. The appearance bonus applies whether he starts or comes on from the bench and is probably the reason for the "bomb squad" situation.

Whoever devised and signed those sort of contracts off is the real reason for our current malaise.

I also heard from the same source that Guzan is a bit of a cock in training and will have a right go at anyone who challenges or  gets near to him during crossing drills.

Who were we fighting off for N'Zogbia's signature that we would have had to shower him with a deal like that?

If one player epitomises the club over the past four seasons it is him.

Sunderland.

You might remember the fun times that summer, when a deliberately planted post on here made their RTG message board convinced they had hijacked the signing a couple of hours before he was announced as our player.

Surely completing the N'Zogbia deal makes us quits after stealing Darren Bent away from them.
