Alan Hutton has completed a loan deal to join Sunderland until the end of the season.

Sunderland are being linked with a deadline-day swoop for Tottenham’s Alan Hutton as Steve Bruce desperately bids to sign a new right-back.

Bruce has made improving his back-line a priority during the transfer window and has already signed centre-half Matt Kilgallon from Sheffield United.

So with my morning cup of coffee, I’m doing my early browsing of newspapers for SAFC transfer rumors. Most of them are getting annoying, because we don’t know what’s true or not. Hence, I know the meaning of rumor. And yes I know that this type of thing has been common since the beginning of [...]

Hull City’s loan deal for supposed ‘bad boy’ Amr Zaki (or should that be Zaky, as his official website calls him?) has certainly ruffled some pundits and opposition fans.

Central-back Michael Dawson has won praise from team-mate Peter Crouch for his recent performances at the heart of the Tottenham Hotspur defence.

The Daily Mail claims Steve Bruce is a long time admirer of the former Nottingham Forest defender and is ‘confident’ of landing the Tottenham stalwart.

Sunderland have dismissed rumours linking them with a move for Alan Hutton, as well as Anton Ferdinand moving the other way.
The move was reported just before the transfer window slammed shut, but failed to materialise. However, some reports had suggested the move could be back on the cards.
Steve Bruce said, “It has obviously come from [...]

Ugh, someone help me here, why is it when we play clubs that Steve Bruce has been apart of, we lose? 1-0 loss to freaking WIGAN. I mean, they’re nothing. Sunderland is so above the Latics it’s a joke. I could understand losing to them last year, because at his worst Steve Bruce is still [...]

WIGAN chairman Dave Whelan knows exactly who is to blame for his side’s 9-1 thrashing at Spurs at the weekend – Steve Bruce!
Remarkably, Whelan has suggested that the Wigan whipping at White Hart Lane had more to do with the Sunderland manager than the current incumbent Roberto Martinez.
Which is a little like Niall Quinn blaming [...]
