I don't see Sunderland going down to be honest, you've got money behind you and Keane seems to have a good eye for a player and the players linked so far along with the players currently at the club are good enough to stay up, probably mid-table should 3/4 of those players join.They need to improve the spine of the team.Craig Gordon from Hearts would be a brilliant signing but the most important signing is a striker.

As for Newcastle they will do much better next season I reckon.With Martins,Owen and Viduka they have three strikers well capable of getting at least 15 goals each.The defence has almost always been their problem but they've signed a good centre back in David Rozenhal and Steven Taylor's getting better with each season.The signing of Joey Barton is another good one, although he clearly has attitude problems it's not like it really effects his game and under a manager like Allerdyce he should be better.

A couple of other players likely to join are Geremi from Chelsea and Edmilson from Barcelona, both are good players and the only worry over Edmilson is a history of injury problems.
